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 may have only recently been released, but it needs to get a sequel sooner rather than later due to its unofficial remake status.
Capcom's action role-playing game, Dragon's Dogma 2, has been struggling in terms of sales, even in the presence of discount offers.
Dragons dogma 2 is a good game. The biggest mistake Capcom made was allowing it to launch at 30 fps. When the game came out, all anyone was talking about was the performance of the game. The game has a dedicated fanbase and they should have given the sequel of the original the care it deserved.
Theyy did eventually improve the performance on console but many still do not know if you can play the game at 60 fps on base PS5 and Series X or if they need to buy a $700 console to enjoy this one game.
I'm a big fan of the first game, and 2 was fun first time through, but the game really could use more in the way of replay value. Still holding out hope they release a DLC similar to bitterblack isle but I'm not holding my breath.
PS Store Staff: "We've announced the 2024 annual download rankings for PlayStation®Store! We'll be introducing four rankings in total: PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®VR2, and free-to-play titles. We've also included the annual rankings for the United States and Canada, so be sure to check them out as well.
The number one spot on the PS5's 2024 annual download ranking is the second of the remake project trilogy, "FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH," in which you escape the Mako city of Midgar and travel through a vast world! In second place was "Dragon Quest III: And into the Legend...", and in third place was "Dragon's Dogma 2."
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
