Huzaifa from eXputer: "Dragon's Dogma 2 got panned on launch for a swath of microtransactions, but its real issues are more deep-dyed."
"Dragon's Dogma 2 asks the player to immerse themselves into its brutal action role-playing world - but rewards those willing to play by its rules."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
The March Circana results are in and Dragons Dogma 2 is blowing away its predecessor’s.
Game has some issues tho and its not the GOTY everyone hoped.
Small enemy variety.
Very poor endgame. Its just Caelid with some bosses.
Fun classes like Assassin and Magic Knight gone
One weapon type per class.
Overall its a great game.
It's just a shame the story doesn't hold up
I was so hyped for this game as I thought the first one was better than Skyrim, but now I'll pick it up when it hits $9.99, or if ever.
The biggest issue that I have is that this game got higher review scores than Rise of the Ronin which is actually the much better game.
ROTR feels polished and finished while DD2 feels like a janky PS3 remaster, and the fact that ROTR got criticized for it's graphics which look way better that DD2 which was praised for it's graphics for some reason...
Crazy....
It's actually the only problem it has
i really dont understand people taking the word of sponsored game journalists. Play the game for yourself. The game is amazing. I hasnt sold almost 3 million copies for nothing, and as an average score of 85 on metacritic and 88 on open critic. The microtransactions are OPTIONAL. you can earn all that stuff IN GAME as you play. These articles are ridiculous.
I am having a friggin' blast with this game. The exploration, enemies, different abilities, it is fantastic. I haven't had any frame rate drops or crashes.
