Dragon's Dogma 2

this game is very very glitchy. went to use a port crystal and lost almost 20 hours of progress in the game even after multiple hard saves. i can deal with the glitches every 5 min, but not losing progress. i still have certain achievements, but also lost the levels and progress for them. it literally put me back to where I was a few days ago.

TL;DR: A more refined version of DD1, definitely worth on sale for any RPG fan. [h2] The good [/h2] [list] [*] you can freely switch between classes, and unlock all the skills. Every class is different, you can often change your playstyle if you get bored. [*] a lot of stuff to find in the open world. For the masochists (like me), all the seeker tokens. [*] bossfights are cool early in the game when you can't one shot boss with 8 health bars with a single ability. [*] overall, a more improved and refined version of DD1. [/list] [h2] The bad[/h2] [list] [*] Combat can get stale if you keep the same class. [*] Pawn AI is kinda stupid [*] controls on keyboard are.. meh. I can clearly see the game was made primarily for controllers. [*] I would welcome dodge for all classes, not only thief. With that being said, I can understand why it is only for specific class, so just my preference I suppose. [*] Class balancing is a bit off [*] Enemy variety is... limited [*] Optimization is kind of meh, was getting between 30-50 FPS depending on location on high settings, you can see my specs thanks to steam's useful feature. [*] no real romance option. You can raise NPC affinity, they will blush, but nothing changes except for slightly different dialog. [/list] So overall, despite the game having it's issues, it was quite enjoyable 78 hours I spent, worth the price on sale.

La verdad creo que es un juego que tiene la esencia del primero, pero tengo que decir que la historia en general si estuvo un poco mas floja, en cuestión de jugabilidad me encantan las nuevas vocaciones, y si tengo que decir algo malo seria su optimización en las ciudades, aunque estoy ya ha mejorado con las actualizaciones.

menos de 60 fps en una rtx 3080 increible.

I've heard this game had quite the abysmal launch. But, from what I've been playing it looks like whatever headaches were present have been fixed, alongside other slice of life changes. Gameplay is very fun, story is what I'd call the Spaghetti Western of Fantasy Medieval as it's likely something you've seen before (Dragon Quest type deal). It is a shame there is no muitiplayer option as it feels like the game is designed around it. At best you have a Pawn of your own to customize, with the 3rd and 4th slot being Pawns you can borrow from other players, including friends. It is neat though that secrets you find can be witnessed by your Pawns and then when they are sent back will aid the player it belongs to.

If your going to buy a game just wait for dragons dogma 2 dark arisen, because the amount of pettiness that they did to dragons dogma 2 after the first dark arisen game is truly petty, do understand the game is not bad but all it really is, Is just a reskin of the first dragons dogma, they did the exact same thing back then that they did now, the endgame for dd2 is literally just as bad as dd1 yet you have to wait for DA just to have a solid endgame or even for it to be fun to even play, so yea just wait till october, if you cant then by all means go for it but for me i should have waited it out. if they even bother for a Dragons Dogma 3 just know i wont be buying there crap till the 3rd Dark Arisen.

I deliberately waited to play this game - something I didn't do with it's cousin Monster Hunter Wilds. Wilds was a year-long headache that took forever to fix while I did my best with mods and tweaks to make the game playable for me. Since I waited for DD2, I can happily say it is now 100% stable and playable with both the gameplay and performance issues fixed. With those problems gone, I am enjoying the heck out of a much improved pawn system and the first-rate graphics that bring this game to life beautifully. It's early but I have no issues with the story and love the combat. Honestly, the opponents are a bit too easy but it's early so I expect I will eat those words later. Nearly 10 hours in and I can confidently say this is an A+ experience especially at the new price.

Really cool fantasy game with sick vocations (classes) and the combat is addicting once you get the hang of it. There isn't a dodge but the combat is like monster hunter with mages so can't beat that. And the mages are so sick. From heals/elemental buffs to giant lightning strikes and levitation. I just wish it was multiplayer
