James Galizio: "Having completed Dragon's Dogma 2, there's no hesitation in stating as much now; Capcom and Hideaki Itsuno have fully realized the promise of that original release from over a decade ago, and the result is an RPG that I feel confident will stand the test of time."
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.
"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."

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.
