small detail @4:20, gaol is just a ye olde timey spelling for jail.
For other folks playing Xbox Series X: since the recent update which lets you tweak graphic settings, I’ve turned off ray tracing and motion blur while leaving the frame rate set to variable and my FPS has DRASTICALLY improved. Towns will still have dips but it truly is a night and day difference
You can buy riftstones by merchants every few days and you can farm wakestones fragments from saurians with thief.
I've been having fun so far but the longer I play the more I'm starting to think... this could have been way better. Performance and mtx aside, this game has a lot of issues that only show up after you've played a bit that I wish more reviewers brought up.
My main issues are just how the main adventure systems work together. There are so few ox carts and I swear they get attacked leaving you stranded so often that you end up having to do a ton of just walking. That is fine for the first like 20 hours because you have fun exploring and fighting which is what they seem to want you to do... adventure!
But then... you realize nearly all the encounters are with the same few monsters, there is little to no valuable pois outside of some gear you can probably just buy in town, there is zero incentive at all to revisit a certain area outside of a quest, and the whole "camping" is very lackluster. For a game that wants you to feel like you are on a journey and your only camp options are to literally watch a cheesy stock footage meat being cooked and sit on a rock.... Disappointing is the only thing I can think to call that.
Many of the quests I've come across have been very.. meh as well. Most of the time the action leading up to me trying to get to the quest has been more than the actual quest with most being resolved in about 5 minutes after spending 30 mins or more to get there. One such quest being to rid a town of lizard invasions which consisted of like 3 lizards in the town... I killed more lizards on the way to the quest than the actual "invasion" itself.
I can't comment on the later parts of the game because I'm still fairly early since I do like to explore every part of an area before moving on so idk if it improves. I'm still having fun for now but it really does feel like they didn't think through the systems well or just frontloaded all the fun and didn't bother to flesh anything out to the next level.
Tldr: A lot of fun at the start that quickly diminishes due to the world issues, bad to mid performance, and ofc the mtx controversy. If anyone is thinking, I would honestly hold off for a sale or future updates. I don't think it is really worth 70 as it is now though If you can get past the performance and mtx you will prob have fun
That perfectly sums it up.
I can't help but think that I'd rather be playing the witcher or elden ring
the enemy variety sucks and theres too many enemies in the later part of the game and the game gets insanely easy at like lvl 40
Absolutely spot on. I agree with every word. Once the new game smell is gone you start seeing how barebones the game is
yeah if they make it so that enemie spawns are a lot more random and the chests respawn after some time (like in...the first DD) then adventuring and walking back and forth would be a lot more fun.
Yup. I could go on and on about the issues the game has and why I just don’t think waiting on a DLC to fix the issues is fair since people already paid $70+ dollars on the game. Still fun but probably not worth $70.
Console player. If I hadn't read online that there were MTX I still wouldn't know, because the game never tells you as far as I've seen (currently level 27).
As far as performance, it's been fine for me. I can tell when it slows but it doesn't bug me.
And the MTX is all useless shit you will be loaded with by the end of the game. Currently new game plus lvl 56.
Same here.
Ignored the microtransaction and the game was fine. Do I wish they werent there? of course but the base game is great and you dont need to buy any of it to enjoy it.
Exactly
Yea, my buddy told me about the RC Points... He told me to buy it so I did... GAME IS AMAZING! Great Work Capcom!!!
I have a almost 6 year old computer that can run the game but I gotta turn the settings down quite a bit, this game pushed me over the edge to finally put together a new rig, so putting the game on hold until I have that built and hopefully there will be a few more performance patches by the time I have it together.
lol same here. I’m going from a 6 year old 1080 ti and i7 8k series to a 7800xt and i7 12k in hopes I can run this better. I’m honestly surprised my old build lasted as long as it did
I have a 3060ti and my performance is still dogshit. Those performance patches better be lit.
@@colossusslayer1234 I have a 7800 xt with a 12th gen i7. I get minimum 40 frames avg of 60 fps in the big city, 80+ in the wild. I play on med-high quality for pretty much everything. What do your settings look like?
@@matthewm7590Mine's mixed. Minimal shadows/trees, no rtx, minimal post stuff. 1 gb high graphics. But tbh it doesn't really seem to matter, high or low I get the same fps. Even DLSS doesn't help. I think its CPU side, and the cities make it way worse.
@@colossusslayer1234 yeah idk, maybe it will be fixed with the patches. I followed Spartacus’s guide on settings to improve performance and I haven’t had any issues. But best of luck to you man, hopefully it’s better soon
The same is a solid 7/10, the hate is unwarranted, but the story could do with more work (hopefully updates and a DLC would fix that)
Story felt kind of off and enemy variety is very low. I still think the combat is fun though
I'm playing on the PC and I've had minimal bugs/glitches and not really noticed any fps drops, not saying there was none I just haven't noticed them happening. With the microtransactions I recently finished the game and I finished with about twice as many rift crystals than are available in the store, about 8 wakestones and 2 portcrystals and that was after a fairly standard playthrough doing most quests but not much exploration, so in my mind the microtransactions are a non-issue. Btw the patch increased the Art of Metamorphosis in the shop to 99.
wait until you reach the last area, i have 47 riftstone atm and i didnt hoard them. same for rift cristals etc, normal mobs drop them later
This is one of the best games I have ever played. I have over 60 hours on PS5 and haven't crashed one time.
On series S i get some fps drop in vermund when im whipping around but other than that im having a blast
This review is bullshit. Dude had to spend the entire time talking about the micro transactions and performance instead of reviewing the actual game. I have 100 plus hours and beat the game on PC and never ran into game breaking issues or having to purchase anything. The gameplay is great. You’ll have a fantastic experience if you actually play it.
Thank you again for addressing the microtransaction store and explaining that they aren't necessary. I think that is very helpful for anyone thinking about purchasing the game. Same to be said about the performance issues as well.
Playing on xbox series x. I've had 1 crash and 1 freeze. I have 150 hours of play. Stability is near perfect.
Very rarely am i seeing any framerate issues.
Your logic isn't welcome here, ItalianSpartacus! 😋 Thanks for the rundown. I've wishlisted this on Steam but in Canada it's $100 so I'll be waiting for a sale for sure.
Those pawns stopping you as you walk by remind me of the cell phone service sales people at Costco and Sam’s club. Annoying as hell lol.
Funny thing about the micro TX is that they’re not multiple use. They treat each one like a dlc, you buy it and you can only have one of them.
I bought a port crystal bc I love this game and wanted to support just a little. I was only able to buy one which was like 3$ after tax but they lock you out of just paying to beef up your character to a certain extent
it's a game plagued by so many baffling decisions from Capcom's side and also developer (Itsuno's team side)...but when the game is allowed to shine, what it brings to the table is an experience no other game can deliver for me, not even Fromsoft's souls series.
Will a ryzen 9 5900 give at least a consistent 60?
It's a bit of a let down but it's still good compared to most modern games. The huge cut down of skills and amount of skills you can equip at one time as well as the huge lack of variety of monsters compared to the first combine with a rather pointless story that has nothing to do with hunting down and slaying the dragon holds it back substantially. What made the first one fun was the variety of monsters to kill and skills to try out while you deal with this cult that worships the dragon till it finally shows up to challenge you. That's not even getting into the endings and side quests. Like I said while better than most games nowadays it doesn't live to the expectations I had for the sequel.
theres many issues outside of the mtx and performance, gameplay and story wise. Mods fixed a lot of them for me but the game still falls short in a lot of the promises and makes the same mistakes the first game did 12 years ago. It becomes very noticeable during the battahl quest line and region. Still fun but sad we are saying “just wait for the dlc”.
It’s been awesome for me and I can’t stop playing. Performance has been fine on PC (I do have a fast PC). And I haven’t had to buy anything and the same items I obtained very easily by playing.
AMD liquid frames and dynamic resolution together seem to work awesome, using fsr 3 makes things really blurry even in quality mode. It runs really well on my 5800x and 6800xt. Maybe it’s optimized for AMD. Idk
Because of the poor performance alone not even taking into consideration the MTX, it is 7/10 highest would be 8/10
The DLSS3 mod on Nexus doubled my frames, im around 80-90 IN VERMUND! 120-140 avg outside town - 1440p 4070ti I7 32gb thats with DLSS in quality mode!
I must say, i played 20h of DD2 and already start to get bored. The enemy variety is a big issue for me because the combat mechanics itself is fun. And yes, you can completely ignore the microtransactions, it is still something that must die out (in a full price game)!
The RC for sale are the thing I have the biggest problem with. The game was proud of not having a difficulty selector but they are essentially selling the ability to play on easy for the first half of the game. No one said the items for sale weren't available in the game, I don't know where these responses keep coming from.
The big problem is the performance. They rushed it out on the 21st when the game wasn't ready for launch because the fiscal year ended on the 31st and they wanted those week 1 sales. I don't care if they patched it to a solid 120 everywhere, no one should buy it before the end of the month. They don't deserve the balance sheet bump for incomplete work.
Oh come on, the game is easy, especially in the beginning. Besides it's singleplayer. I wish it was a bit more difficult.
My biggest issue is besides the 2 DRMs on top of a poorly optimized game and the ability to have only one save character at a time, is the lack of a targeting system for ranged characters. I love playing as a mage or sorc. My character attacks everything and anything other than the very frigging thing I'm looking at!
Console player. It was performance issues that kept me from getting the game and had me most concerned. It didn’t sound like the game was designed to push you towards the shop as much as others and it was clear you didn’t need it. And it’s just par for the course these days. But bad performance isn’t good and is annoying
I am waiting for the next 2-3 updates.
@@BCY85toss in a sale too lol
dunno but performance on ps5 is fine for me
Performance on console seems fine, the PC port seems so bad those people deserve a refund+
I’m playing on PS5 and having a blast 🤷♂️
Doesn't have a performance mode option on PS5 despite being $70. That in and of itself is bad. It could be a good game once the performance gets up to new, AAA game standards or the price drops to better reflect the product on display.
As soon as I turned off Ray Tracing on Ps5, the performance became smooth as butter.
Yea if the performance is an issue jus hold off for a few months and maybe catch a deal along with the patches
They should add the option to change races with Metamorphosis
it's not a GPU problems (go looking Gamers Nexus reviews about this issues), it's a bad CPU usage and that is not easy too fixing i think. And for the consoles side, sorry it's the same story,, Capcom added with the patch Frame Rate at Max 30 fps option. For me that is not good sign.
Oh and on PC we are lucky, we have Denuvo CPU booster. Yeaah.
For me, i played over 200h with DD1. This DD1.5 (oops sorry i mean DD2), i saw a lot of Déjà Vue in this game.
I going buy this game if it's coming in 2 years on GoG on huge sale.
Thx for the video.
PS Swen from Larian Studio is going/playing this game... what you think is going in his head ? ^^
The Age of Metamorphosis count is supposedly increased to 99 in the update, so even the perfectionist players that obsess over character appearance should be set now.
What I didn’t like is in the first game you had the option to change both your character and your main pawn when using this editor option in the same use. In DD2 you don’t. The massive increase to these books will fix that. Glad to see you enjoying the game.
Cant change races tho, sad
To me it needs more patches and a sale before I am going to buy it. No need to buy at full price or quickly with the issues it has.
I had not one single crash in over 100 hours on Xbox and the game runs fine besides some minor texture loading issues
Playing on Xbox and I am having fun, to me that's the most important thing in a game for me
It's not perfect, but I am playing it way more than anything else in awhile.
Is 40-60 fps really so bad? I'm playing on the xbox series X and I haven't had any crashes or frame issues. The game is still gorgeous and very playable at 30fps.
Is it worth buying the game for a 2070 super?
The problem is the CPU getting bogged down not the GPU. Gamers Nexus has an excellent video on the issue.
Does Teigr like to bounce? - Machine
I don't have to buy the items i know, i also don't have to pay full price for the game guess im waiting for a sale
The stuttering form denuvo in just random locations and times it's what's killing me.
I feel like you immediately pointed out more than 2 controversies and didn't address the lack of multiple saves, or the content value for your money. Also saying microtransactions are just a part of the landscape we live in is not true. Some games justify their microtransactions by saying that, but many many games don't do microtransactions at all. For a game that came out with semi-functionality breaks and a super early patch to let you remake characters, it's clear that the energy used to create microtransactions could have been used to optimize the game instead. Since finite resources is usually the argument game studios use to support instituting microtransactions, maybe they'd have more resources I'd they didn't spend their time developing microtransaction systems and concentrated on making a finished product then came out with microtransactions after as add-ons
They didn't take any time "developing micro-transaction systems". They just put stuff from the deluxe version available for sale. And they don't matter. And you have to look for them, since they aren't shoved in your face.
Quit whining. The game is a finished product and is fantastic.
I'm about 10 hours in (maybe half way to the end) and so far I would give it a 6/10. Combat is pretty basic (larger monsters are fun though), story is average and the game just lacks overall polish, including mediocre performance in large towns and certain areas. It's definitely not up to the same level as BG2, Elden Ring, Witcher 3 etc
Lol, 10 hours in and you think you're halfway to the end. What a terrible take.
@@baneintherain Sure, you don't agree = 'terrible take" 🫣. There are entire let's plays on RUclips completing the game in 12 hours. Seems the average is around 18 hours based on steam discussions and reviews.
@@baneintherain There are plenty of people on steam discussions and reviews completing the game in under 20 hours. And several let's play series completing the game in under 15 hours. By RPG standards it's short. I like that you agreed with everything else I mentioned though. 😎
I am playing on my ps5, has no perfomance issue so far, running greatly, and about the micro, fuck them, I don’t need it but I won’t cry and bomb the game because of that.
It can run good or it can completely go bad I've had tons of issues on ps5 it can even shutdown your console after 15mins and erase all progress.
Sounds like your PS5 is probably full of dust and gunk.
I am on PS5 and played over 60 hours with no crashing or performance problems.
There's Dust all inside your PlayStation, you need to get it cleaned out or looked at because it shouldn't be doing that, the console shutting down is a problem with the console, normally if a game is causing the problem then the console will just close the game and return to the Home screen.
Mtx and performance aside there are some seriously questionable design choices that make me not want to recommend the game, even after enjoying the first one.
I bought a port crystal yesterday purely out of being lazy, mtx are no big deal.
Ultimately, the MTX shouldn't be there, quality of life especially with travel could be better (at least give me infinite stam outside of combat if nothing else) and the performance is utterly unnaceptable. But aside from those things, 2 of which are fixable if the devs feel like it, the game is fantastic. Some convoluted quest design here and there and some horrifically unexplained mechanics (like gifting) exist, but Ultimately the issues are way overblown. Still a fantastic game.
It’s crazy hearing PC players when they are upset about frames, like as a console player it’s hilarious to hear 70 fps described as “manageable” lol
They need to fix the performance drastically or I wont play it.
I just hate the double DRM bullshit ruining the performance, I want to be able mod my single-player game any way I feel like even if its big anime titties or custom gear
I just think it is shallow and kinda boring. I expected the combat to be better, but especially the big guys are really button mashy with not a lot of strategy to it. And of course the amount of goblins, wolves and harpies (who absolutely suck to fight) get tired.
I’m so confused with anyone saying PS5 performance is bad. It wasn’t exactly stellar but it wasn’t terrible. The patch made it way better. Turned off RT, MB, and left VFR. Game runs great now. No bugs. No crashes. It isn’t like we are playing with different versions of PS5. It just boggles my mind how there can be varied experiences other than personal preferences or faulty systems.
The MTX are a non-issue. 🙄This isn’t a thing specific to DD2. It’s a common and passively accepted convention by the majority of players. Thankfully, there isn’t anything that is P2W. Not that it matters because it is a single-player game. Don’t buy them. Money talks. We lost the war on them existing long ago. Whine, cry, rant, rage … MTX aren’t going anywhere.
I thought they were pretty quick with the patch to address more egregious concerns outside of PC performance. Not being able to start over was a huge WTF moment for me. It was straight up insulting as a consumer. Problem solved though.
I give the game a very fun 7/10 as far as my experience. I have a few pain points that I can’t get over.
Traditional fast travel not existing is one thing; ox carts getting attacked so frequently is annoying though.
The story was never going to be good. It could have been 10% more … more everything … a few more story quests later to bridge some parts would have been great. It would have been a more cohesive experience.
I like the vocations. Why they locked two of the most appealing at the end of the story was a huge amount of stupid.
Trickster … I think I took a whole point away just for this. I was hyped for this more than anything. Some of the skills have no practical use outside of niche areas. They do no damage. This level of a support class is better saved for co-op type games. It makes no sense. A poison cloud, burning ash, frozen mist, or one other DOT type attack would have made it so much better. It would have been like an illusion tank with damage over time … but yeah we just don’t want people playing it to do damage I guess. Weird philosophy in a game built around active combat and exploration.
Anyway. Rant over.
Thanks for the video.
why is no one talking about the obviously cut and trashed story? literally half of reddit is only complaining about that whats wrong with yall that you think its necessary to circlejerk the same 2 arguments that are performance and microtransactions over and over?
I really hate MTX with a passion. However, how they did the MTX in this game is that they made it like an extended deluxe DLC that you can buy individually. You can't rebuy any items and it's only $49 or so to buy it all. However if you could buy all the RC you wanted for an example that would have been a big no-no.
It is.
Gaol has same pronunciation as jail. It's just an old English spelling.
My issue isn't the performance or mtx, it's that the only advancements I felt over DD1:DA are the improved graphics and the larger map. The map being a double edged sword as enemy variety is lower than the first game (while encounter density is higher) and only 1/100 locations actually have something worth looting. Still loving the game because there's simply nothing else that hits the same, but I can't say I'm not disappointed as someone who dreamt of a sequel with larger budget/dev time since the first game came out.
I still love the game
Is it better then baldur gate 3 ,?
Honestly, no it's not. I love that game so much
This game is effin awesome. Best time ive had since Elden Ring
There’s no need to talk so much about MTX, that’s not the issue. Outside of endgame area, there are hardly any items to be found in the world, most of the items are in the cities. There are 4 main mobs that you run into and that persists into endgame. The combat system makes you feel cool, but you never feel a sense of progression as you master the game after 10 hours due to lack of variety. You will do the same thing for 30-80 hours, fighting constant hoards of mobs because there is a lack of fast travel and quests requiring you to travel vast distances. Oh, there isn’t a story and every NPC has 1-2 lines of dialogue. What makes the game fun is the combat system when multiple mobs/bosses come at you but everything else is below mid. 6/10 game
I’m 70 hours into this game (yes I’m addicted) and haven’t felt the need to buy anything at all. There isn’t even an in game window suggesting you buy anything.
There's been a lot of misinformation about the mtx's, that's true. You can completely ignore them and be just fine. My problem is why are they there to begin with? A lot of Capcom fans chalk it up to " well they always do that so it's not a big deal"
Mtx's have no business being in a single player narrative game. I thought larian would've helped people understand that with bg3. It doesn't matter that we can ignore them THEY SHOULDN'T BE THERE. Period.
But yeah the performance I've experienced on PS5 is shoddy at best. The open world is fine but I have constant pop ins in any city I go to. Especially if I'm sprinting through
Thats there because it is absolutly Normalized in Japanese Developed RPGs, its even expected from them in Asia. Asian Player want to be able to buy such Stuff, because they are all in into the Grind of these Games. They will play Hours (without any Story Progress) just to Reach the Highest Level Possible before getting anything else in the Game Done. Check out any kind of JRPG, Trails Series, Atelier Series, Tales Of Series, Monster Hunter and so on and on.... The Only JRPG i am Aware of which didnt do that kind of Stuff (before the Remades/HD Versions on Steam) was the FF Series. The Main Playerbase/Market they Produce their Games for demands it.
OFC we could debate if these Mtx´s should be on the European Versions, but since they arnt needed anyway and dont bring you any kind of Relevant Change in Charakter Power or such, i think they thought: "Better we allow it here to, instead of getting complaints that only 2/3 of our Players got the Choice". And tbh Mtx done as in Dragon Dogma are absolutly Fine, simply because they Change nothing. They dont bring you any significant Advantage, they arnt P2W, they arnt Forced on to you, the Game didnt get harder or unbearably Grindy with the Items it sells as Mtx (you basicly can get everything you can buy in the First 2-5H depending on how fast youself play) and so on and on. People Only Complain about it for the Sake of Complaining, but we dont Complain about the Crap a lot of MMORPGs does because the Game itself is "Free"? Like why? There are a Shitton of Games out there, in which you get forced to Grind 30+ Hours for a single "Base Item" or we can Buy the Option to "Skip the Grind", because the Grind was never meant to be played its only there to Justify the Item in the Shop..... Thats what we should complain about and not a Game which basicly says "Here you can buy it, but if you dont it doesnt change anything" xD
@@sensen9900 I'm gonna be real with you I only skimmed through cuz I'm not reading all that lol but I will respond to a couple things you said...
1. If they were all into the grind of these games they wouldn't buy mtx's as mtx's are there to circumvent the grind
2. We can agree to disagree on them being fine because I will never agree to that
3. When it comes to MMOs or similar games I don't like mtx's even then but I can deal with cosmetics because they don't change anything significant but it still makes zero sense to me to have them in a single player game. Especially considering they're not even cosmetic items it seems even more pointless to have them if they're as miniscule as dd2s
There are more devs profiting from MTXs than not. MTXs are never going away, and Larian was never going to change that for the industry.
@@shru88ery for sure. I suppose it's naive to think the consumer base would rather go against greedy consumerism. It's pretty much only Fromsoft and Larian that we can expect to actually give af about their fans
@lokilucario I think most players are all in the same camp of "we don't like mtxs" but at this point our options are play the games and not buy the mtxs if you don't want them, or stop gaming all together. I enjoy gaming too much to choose the latter.
For me it's just the poor performance of pawns that are so so stupid and annoying that take me off this game
The game is great got it on ps5
Performance issues and micro transactions aside, the story of this game after halfway through is just so... bad. The game isn't bad because of gameplay, necessarily, the writing is just *not* good.
My experience with performance on P.S.5 is that it has been great performance wise.
X-Box, I can't say. Someone from over there would have to let us know. I'm honestly curious how things are going over there performance wise.
Another thing messing the performance is the Denuvo DRM. It's a known performance killer.
I give the game a 30/60 on console.
Performance is just bad in towns, enemies are just goblins, people, and a few 'big' creatures. Story for an RPG is sadly Call of Duty Campaign short.
PC or consoles? I don't understand why you're complaining when they clearly stated that there would be some issues with the PC version at launch. They have already addressed these problems and even provided a detailed post about all the new additions, including fixing the locked 30 fps issue. So instead of whining, just be patient and play another game for a week or less. Dragon Dogma 2 is going to improve very soon. And let's not even waste time discussing microtransactions because they are insignificant and only for lazy individuals. This game is definitely not pay-to-win.
@@Retro-Design-4033 thing is I’m not even complaining about the dumb extra pay content. It’s dumb but I just didn’t interact with it and I didn’t feel like it held me back at all. I’m complaining about the very underwhelming campaign, huge lack of enemy variety, zero actual end game or reason to interact with new game plus besides maxing other vocations, finding some missed items, etc. Even if the game was a stable fps in all areas it would still be like a 5 out of 10 game. I loved dragons dogma owned it for both PlayStation and pc and finished it multiple times. This game is just bad and wasn’t ready for launch and honestly I don’t think it will be good short of a massive overhaul on mobs and possibly adding a few dlcs worth of story and questing content to flesh out the huge empty pointless world
I came to DD2 right after finishing Elden Ring. Huge mistake. To say DD2 feels average after Elden Ring would be giving it too much praise. It just feels like an enormous downgrade in every area. I thought this would be my next big RPG adventure after ER, sadly I'll need to look elsewhere until DD2 gets some major updates and come back to it at a later date.
Yep and the story is like 8 quests and they are mostly political quests in first big city the travel to next big city roll credits. Bad endgame if that's what we calling it
very different games. your mistake was to judge DDII against ER. DDII does it's own unique thing very well.
@@collapsiblechair9112 Yes they are very different. Elden ring has an open world with wildly different biomes around every corner, untold areas actually worth exploring, literally thousands of unique weapons, armour, and incantations. Probably the widest set of unique enemy types in any rpg ever, actually interesting NPCs, and some of the best boss design in gaming history. DD2 has ai pawns that repeatedly jump to their death mid combat at a glorious 30 fps if you’re lucky, so it has that I guess. Yes, very different.
I've had no issues at all on PS5 and that everyone said consoles were supposed to be under performing.
This is ultimately a repeat of what happened with the Dragons Dogma PC port that came out a while back. DD1 came out on console, got ported to PC, its performance was iffy and controls wonky. It slipped under the radar because DD1 was still more a cult classic than the hyped up DD2.
What really upsets and disappoints me about DD2 is they repeated their mistake despite the negative reviews of DD1. Now DD2 has the same issues as its older brother with triple the eyes on it. It’s getting shat on, (rightfully so), when they could have learned from their previous mistakes and avoided the same issues. But the bottom line will always be more important to companies than anything else.
Content creators for the love of god do your research before trying to set thing right. It serves no one to debunk one missconception while creating another. DD2 just can't get a break.
the fact that there are micro transactions at all in a single player game like this is a problem in itself. It dosent matter if it is player power or not.
I think you are both right and wrong. I'm really not here to argue btw lol. Just offering my 2 cents. I think how it is implemented can matter because MTX can definitely be way more predatory than in DD2. But yeah, I also do not think they should be in any single player or multi-player game even, that has a full game price. I get it in free to play games, almost a necessity for those games to keep getting updated. But for paid full price, it is kinda a slippery slope with what we allow as gamers. Becasue ultimately, we are in control, especially if we were more organized.
1 character file...really Capcom?????
It's an awesome game
So game is obviously not bad but who here thinks it's actually a good sequal?
The performance is same as bad in console than in PC, and the developers knew since the beginning so ther is no excuse. And the only solution they gived was "We wil fix it in the future" I wish i could say the same with my money.
Over 60 hours on PS5 and it runs just fine.
@@baneintherain Good to know you like 24-30FPS on an outdated console 👍 come back the day you enjoy a good AAA game at 60FPS and we can have a conversation.
@@lagunriv I don't jerk off to framerate and have been gaming for longer than 5 years. Come back after you grew up playing some of the greatest RPGs ever in 16 bit on the SNES and we can have a real conversation. I have a high end PC and chose to buy DD2 on PS5. You know why? So I don't have to whine about performance and I'm just enjoying a great game.
@@lagunriv Just ignore Bane, just lots of angry posts defending any and all aspects of the game, it's like they have a personal stake in DD2 or something.
@@JCTiggs1 have you played it?
Anyone who is on a PS5 and is complaining about performance issues are smoking crack. I'm about 60 hours in, on my 2nd playthrough, and have not had any frame issues, stutters, or anything of the sort. It runs smooth and looks great.
I would not go near it on PC though.
Boring story, boring world, boring characters, too easy from level 1 and ongoing. Combst is the only good thing.If you haven't played bg3, play that one instead or buy stellar blade, more worth the money
sure it isnt bad but its not good
First playthrough is solid, here are my issues as someone who’s clocked 3x now with over 70 hours in the game. Micro transactions aren’t an issue at with regards to locking players out of anything.
Story is abrupt and doesn’t make sense in many points.
What happened to the queen? The dragon just appeared and destroyed phaesus’s plans? The main story questions is so short?
Why is night time not more deadly?
Why is there ONE elven village in the ENTIRE game?
Why is the map this small?
Why is the enemy diversity so small? Once I learned to kill drakes in like 20 hours in the rest of the game was trivial (don’t get me started on how disappointed I was with the dragon).
Once you ng+ the game doesn’t scale with your level, why lol?
Wayfarer weapon swaps instead of classes, why?
I’m playing my fourth playthrough with over 25 mods, the mods make it fantastic. Would never touch it again without mods honestly.
Moment they put microtrasactions and TWO DRM invasive performance crashing hacks in a single player game it was an instant no. Those things outweigh any positives the game may have had. Even if the microtransaction aren't major pay to win ones, its still a horrible development decision that i don't want to support. Hell ive played games with microtrasactions and still do, but they are multi player not single player. The biggest clincher is the two unnecessary DRM's, I don't want legalized spyware on my rig if i can help it.
Game is trash, boring main plot, hardly any side content, take open world which is just paths blocked by mountains, dumb ass AI for pawns and NPCs, NPCs are lifeless with nothing to say, same repetitive battles over and over! Screw micro transactions and frame rate issues this game has many issues no one seems to even mention!
This comment is trash and boring. There's tons of side missions and stuff you can miss on a first playthrough. Lots of fun to explore and the replay value is fantastic. The game is great.
Das Spiel is bad performance 30fps 2024 is realy bad und schwach! Eldenring 60fps cyperpunk 60fps lies of p 60 fps etc etc. Sekiro 2019 2024 mit 60 fps
60 hours in on ps5. Performance is fine havnt crashed once or seen a bug.
Pay For Convenience/Timesaving is off-putting even when the benefits are small.
But a player can decide for himself whether to care or not. You don't need permission from the gaming community to enjoy a video game.
While I get the issues with the mtx this outrage nonsense started before people even knew what any of the items were for or how easy they are to get. I've got 1 ferry stone for almost every hour I've played (30 or so stones) and 20 something revive stones that I don't even use 🤷
Also it's Capcom, all of their games have this shit and this is likely the least offending of them.
With that said, I do still agree with the outrage and they need to hear this shit so they either keep it in check like they've done with this game(look at re4r) or remove it entirely because it's hurting their sales(unlikely but we can hope).
Never even noticed there was a store. It’s so much better than DDDA
Dragons Dogma 2 is more like a remaster, anniversary edition of Dragons Dogma, and doesn't really feel like a new game or its own title.
Full price and day one microtransaction with the hope to trick people into buying them just shows that Capcom doesn't respect their customers and this title is simply a cash grab to bolster their numbers for their fiscal year that ends in March.
That they few the customer as imbecile moneybags is what rubs me the wrong way.
nah game sucks
the dialogue is pretty boring. doesnt really feel like an rpg maybe just an adventure game. having to click through a bunch of dialogue to just get "accept or deny" at the end is pretty lame.
the dialogue is well written and voice acted, it doesn't have the depth of Baldur's Gate 3 but that's due to it being a different style of RPG
Ngl, been sick of hearing _"Probably best to wait on buying this game till a big patch comes out to fix performance."_ Especially for consoles. _What happened to buying a game and not a tech demo?_ Exaggeration but my point stands.
These days I never buy games at launch, with extremely few exceptions I wait at least a year after a games release to buy it, they are almost always cheaper and in a way better state then when they came out. I can recommend doing things this way
A lot of wierd kids these days talking about games they never played XD. I bought rise of ronnin and dragon dogma 2 both amazing games ON RELEASE too. Feel bad for the poor kids.
