Dragon's Dogma 2 is fantastic, but fails to capture its predecessor's magic. This reviewer spent 100 hours with the game: Read more!
Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received a new title update that adds Frame Generation for NVIDIA RTX 40 series users (only). Unfortunately, the vast majority of gamers on RTX 30/RTX 20 and Radeon GPUs will have to keep waiting for an FSR 3 implementation of frame generation. There’s another tiny issue with the update.
Capcom kind of fumbled with this game.
This could have been GOTY 2024 but no.
Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom's latest JRPG, has reached a new sales milestone, rolling over 3 million copies in a span of two months.
Hands fown my game of the generation so far, definitely has some flaws and buggy quests, but damn is it good, and surprisingly flexible in how it allows creativity and different approaches to resolve quests and reacts accordingly.
I just picked this up for PS5. I'm going to hold off playing as long as I can though, in case they decide to add a new performance mode. I don't want to play this at 30 fps unless I absolutely have no other choice (PC isn't a choice for me). I have a dozen other games in my backlog so I'm good.
Really tried to like the first one, started it like 5 times, but it didn't click with me.
I'll try the sequel someday, but I'll wait for a good (like 50%) discount.
Knew the game had long legs. It had some disappointing issues like performance, dumb microtracsanctions at the beginning. There is a DLC coming. Wonder what that will add to the game.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
This is a generous score.
I played 72 hours. The game is at its best when exploring at random in the early game when everything is fresh, and you're stumbling upon caves and new monsters and genuinely having fun adventures. It doesn't last. As soon as you focus on questing, the game reveals itself to be a slog, and then the story ends before it begins, like reading a prologue to a book and never bothering with chapter 1. And even triggering the events leading to the true ending can't redeem it by that point. Still worth 6/10 for somewhat competent combat (when you're not getting stunlocked) and class variety. Subtract a couple points if MTX bother you.
Going from FF7 Rebirth to DD2 was a severe drop in quality and entertainment
