There is a storm raging online between many potential Dragon’s Dogma 2 players, Capcom and the journalists and YouTubers who reviewed the game.
Capcom bring us the long-awaited Dragon's Dogma II twelve years after the original title, and it lives up to its predecessor's legacy. Gaming Respawn reviews.
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.
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.
I have it on ps5 and pc and it plays as actually pretty well on PS5. The uncapped frame rates works best for the game then the newly added Max 30fps version.
The only town that gets the frame rates down between 25-35 ish is the first big city, but you won't be that much in it to be fair - I spent from 50 hours about 3 in the city and the rest exploring and the second main town which has better fps.
-on pc with my 3080 and 10700k CPU, the fps outside is better for sure as it can do stable 60fps... But it's the same or worst for the main city. I had fps between 20-50ish and the drops were really noticeable. But the same, most time was spent outside.
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.
It will end up on PS+ extra someday.
It is good devs release the game first and release it months later on PS+ to give it a second life.
If it was on sub service day one it would have sold 300.000 Max
For a sequel to a niche game from the PS3 days I would think 3 million is very good. But I don’t know their sales expectations so I can’t say for sure.
I . . .dont know.
AAA companies are weird. It depends on their fiscal stuff.
I would guess its successful because the first game sold way less in the same time frame.
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.
"Most of these reviewers have played the game from anywhere from 50 to 100 hours to make their full judgement, and even getting a short ways into the game, you can see just how easy it is to ignore the extremely limited quantities of what’s being sold here"
It's not the point, they should have told people, it's their job, to inform the consumer about what to expect within a new game and what to watch out for before they buy.
Fact is nobody wanted to p*** off Capcom and get blacklisted or stop getting super cool press release packages from them.

MTX ≈ Bad
But spending $10 more on the deluxe edition is OK. Even though you're getting items that could be more helpful early on in a game.
I'm not defending MTXs but don't pretend buying the Deluxe version of some games doesn't give you a leg up early on.
Probably because they’re completely optional and all of it can easily be gotten in the game.
I don’t remember Monster Hunter World reviews going all “let’s burn this mother f*cker down,” with basically similar micros like buying a character editor. At least in DD2 it’s available for 500RC’s.
This has gotten blown out of proportion due to misinformation and people just quick to grab torches and pitchforks without doing any research.
How come Helldivers 2 doesn’t get flack for having micros? Such hypocrisy.
Because its a nothingburger
