Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

[mediocrepoet]

I need to get my ps5 fixed I miss the fuck out of this game. It's the best of the best, haters can suck a chode.

Did you break the PS5 or did the 500 dollar machine break on its own?

He got drunk and pissed in it then turned it into a bong.

Your hate boner for me is sad and pathetic.

I don't hate you. It just sounded like the most likely scenario for your life.

Capcom will show during TGS a pre-recorded stream that *might* contain news about Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC.

On their booth there will be no playable Dragon's Dogma 2 demo, which makes sense since it will be a six-month-old game by then.

It will also be a month after their current survey on DD2 ends. You have told Capcom how they fucked up this game right?

Capcom released another survey - https://jp.research.net/r/P_DD2?lang=en

Change the language from Japanese to English using the drop down menu on top right.

Last question let you share your feedback in free text format - hope this means they will release a huge patch to add back in cut contents and other improvements.

Will more likely be other games they've already announced and will ruin, and some of the known but not heard from (Pragmatica) as well as stuff from the leaks (Rockman Taisen, Legends collection, etc.).

Sadly, that survey seems more interested in how players perceived the music/sound or the subtitle text than in important aspects of gameplay and content. The best we can do is point out some deficiencies in the text box near the end of the survey.

 

[deuxhero]

Say the translation and UI text are shit because they use body type.

I want to believe

I want to believe

That sounds pretty much like the Anonymous Guy just made all of that up off the top of his head, but I could be wrong.

The DD2 expansion will be his swan song. LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOO

 

[Vincente]

Interesting. Did he get kicked out for fumbling DD2, or did he finally had enough of Capcom's shit?

The DD2 expansion will be his swan song. LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOO

Is he even making a DLC? Itsuno didn't make Dark Arisen.

SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUUUP!

 

[Suicidal]

Well that sucks.

No DD2 expansion and DMC 6 will be a souls clone.

Hopefully I'm exaggerating.

 

[Shinji]

Well, I remember when I had installed mods to explore out of bounds, some of those sealed caves had black box placeholders in them.
There was one in particular that was somewhat large and deep, I think it was that one to the west of Battahl

So not only were the doomsayers right about this game only having 2 new vocations and cutting others, there's not even any confirmation of an expansion to fix that?

 

[deuxhero]

The surveys were explicitly asking about opinions/wants on DLC. One of them just ended day before this announcement. I wonder if the thoroughly negative reception reported in surveys played any part of this departure given the timing. Would be way too early to gather the (rather large) comment field (to know they're all complaining the game barely runs as the big one), but would be plenty of time to see the numerical score being very low. We'll find out at the end of September (or very early October) what DD2's sales have been for the past 3 months, which will be interesting (I'm expecting to see they completely stalled after launch at low 3 million)

 

[DJOGamer PT]

After this departure, there really is nothing to look foward in the future by Capcom imo...

He says next month he will already be working on a new studio and project which would imply he actually left sometime ago and is only now making it public...

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Did he get kicked out for fumbling DD2, or did he finally had enough of Capcom's shit?

The latter most likely
I don't understand why some people keep pushing that DD2 was a financial failure, when Capcom themselves declared in a public earnings report to their shareholders only just 2 weeks after release that the game sold well

But then again this trend isn't exclusive to DD2, nor even to online shitposting
Even among my friends I've noticed this trend that if a AAA, or even AA game from a famous company doesn't make at least 5 million sales in the first month and doesn't break the 300k concurrent player count on Steam, then it's a failure

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Is he even making a DLC?

If the DLC exists and if it's anything like that early leak described (i.e. "The Dragon Princess" leak), then it was probably being developed even before the game came out - which would mean Itsuno had a hand in it
Regardless, if the DLC exists then it's Kinoshita's (i.e. DD2 lead game designer) responsibility - he was also the one that made Dark Arisen and DDO

 

[Shinji]

Yeah, he did say before DD2's launch that he wanted to make something new

Well 30 years... he's definitely paid his corporate dues and had the chance to do what he wants before he retires. Here's hoping it's awesome.

Really hope the next company he's moving to gives him equivalent resources or more. Most of the time I've seen this happen the dudes end up becoming mobile game designers.

 

[Ezekiel]

had the chance to do what he wants

Doubt it. Even the games he did make, full of dumb mandates from above. Capcom is such a boring company.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Capcom probably greenlit DD3 and Itsuno was like "It is all so tiresome..." and fled.
