Dragon's Dogma 2 Review

[@IGN]

At launch, Capcom added microtransactions to Dragon's Dogma 2 that were not available during the review period. In our reviewer's opinion, they can be safely ignored and do not affect the experience or his recommendation. For an in-depth look at what these microtransactions are and how they work, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJCQc2hoptSjbsU

that's super scummy and they should be widely mocked for doing such.

[@Manganization]

Why dafaq are people complaining about AN 8!?

[@ivxwiv6692]

the review barely touches the depth of the game, such as dungeons, combat etc

[@Manganization]

@@ivxwiv6692 the review touches enough of the game to entice you. It mentioned the combat was its strongest aspect.

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

Because childish mfs get angry when their favourite game is criticised in any way

[@canallj3480]

They gave Skull and Bones a 7, so if DD2 is just a point above that game it means is absolute garbage 😂😂

[@Digital_Ghost_]

Because it’s IGN.

[@Blitzz1907]

An 8 isn't bad

variable 30 fps on anything that isn't a switch is

It is when u give crappy games a 7

[@CreepyBio]

It is when you preordered the game thinking it was gon be a 10 😂

This game deserves a 5. Between the performance issues and the garbage microtransactions, this game isn’t what it could have been.

[@Booya456]

Unless your PC I've had no performance issues after 60 hours so far. And those "microtransactions" aren't even remotely a big deal. They are dirt cheap and offer only minor conveniences to the overall game lol relax it's not horse armor

[@Crashed131963]

But 30fps with forced Ray Tracing , it is set in medieval times so there is no shiny floor and widows anyways . Elden Ring plays at 60 fps and looks the same or better .

I'll wait for some patches to fix the performance. Once again buying on launch is being a beta tester.

what a boring reviewer lol, where was the guy that did the preview man he seemed genuinely interested in the game??

[@isimioyekunlemarktaiwo3643]

Who cares about interest, it is about his points? Does it make sense? Based on the videos and what he said it does..can you just set aside some emotions.

[@randomnobody9229]

Prepare for the reviewers in the comments who haven't played the game yet, raging that it wasn't a 10.

[@RiderZer0]

Not even a mention of PC. Nor does he really talk about what exploration is actually like. Is there a lot of loot? Interesting caves/dungeons? Does the game make you want to explore or is tedious and boring? Seems important for a review of a game like this….

Almost every mob is the same. And quality of life is worse because of the lack of portcrystals. This is a 6/10 at best.
