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

Holy shit that game is a glutton.

 

[Turisas]

Fucking japs should learn how to code properly already.

 

[Dyet]

Wow, the performance is trash. It's incredibly demanding of the CPU.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Some of the quests they describe sound Hitman-esque. The good Hitman games. That's the last thing I'd expect in a DD game. I don't remember there being anything like that in the original. That's fucking amazing if true.

There was some pretty cool stuff in the sidequests of the first game if you got creative, using disguises, befriending specific people, stuff like that. Most people didn't bother and just thwacked monsters.

It's Denuvo doing it's thing, guaranteed.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Seems like their RE Engine is shitting itself while trying to make an open world game run semi-acceptably.

Now that you mention it I do remember there being one quest that felt somewhat open-ended. I think it was in Gran Soren.

So performance bad, game good.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Reviews suggest it's definitely for Grognards only. Also lots of crashing on PC.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

Damn, I feel bad for the poorfags still rocking that PC from 2010. It was gonna bite you in the ass sooner or later.

 

[Carceri]

Full harem party or full Bro party. Choose wisely western man.

The former. Anybody sees a bunch of guys hanging out in the woods alone together is gonna wonder.

Careful about that, Capcom is on to you:

Aw no. That's terrible because I've always tried to hide my thirst and fascination with the female arse. Guess I'm getting exposed.

Anyways PS5 version has the most reviews and is sitting at 87 on metacritic which is right around where it will settle I wager. Not half bad for a game that is going to filter the absolute fuck out of normies.

Awful performance put aside, the game seems like a disappointment

I am shocked that it only takes like 40 hours to do everything that the game has to offer (including the endgame content!). I really expected the game to be "bigger". Though I don't have a problem with short games, but at least give me something like Everfall, where you can grind for better items.

Also, performance seems to be absolutely ass. Here I was hoping that I would get AT LEAST constant 60fps on 4k on max settings, but that seems to be a pipe dream.

Supposedly it's easy (no difficulty modes, but we get adaptive difficulty that mollycoddles everyone with journalist difficulty mode if you fail enough) and the endgame is even worse than Everfall was.

There's gotta be a way to disable that shit. I wasn't expecting much of a endgame. Like the original that will come later.

Pretty much. The leaked footage and what I'm reading in reviews hasn't impressed me. I might get it years down the line when its version of Dark Arisen is on sale and there are, hopefully, good mods out.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

The OG wasn't very difficult either until Dark Arisen came along. I don't see how this is shocking news. Seriously tho you better be able to disable that "adaptive" difficulty shit. It was worthless in REmake 2 and only made the game more annoying.

 

[Swen]

Loved the first one, seems good.

I've already read reviews that say upward of 80-90 hours. I generally wouldn't trust lower end hour clockings on a game like this. Especially from reviewers just trying to get the job done.

Source on this? Also wouldn't be surprised if it was an opinion based entirely on critical path content.

Remember these are game journalist reviews, they're going to miss 90% of the content that they aren't railroaded into.
