Dragon’s Dogma is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG series that challenges the players to choose their own experience - from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more. Now, in this long-awaited sequel, the deep, explorable fantasy world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 awaits.
On your journey, you’ll be joined by Pawns, mysterious otherworldly beings, in an adventure so unique you will feel as if accompanied by other players while on your own adventure.
All of these elements are elevated further through physics technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and the latest in graphics, to create a truly immersive fantasy world in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Wield swords, bows, and chant magick. The vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2 give you the ability to approach combat the way you want.
Players can customize their own main Pawn, who will always accompany your Arisen, and enter a covenant with up to 2 additional Pawns from other players through the network.
Beyond the town borders, you will encounter diverse monsters that inhabit the lands. You will need to decide between engaging in battles or finding alternatives; so be aware of your party’s setup, the terrain around you, and the monsters you face.
Travelers, merchants, soldiers and other folk go about their daily lives.
Preoccupied by their own objectives and motives, they all exhibit different emotions. At times, they may lead you to a quest by approaching you and asking for a favor.

With launch there's a lot of misinformation going around surrounding the MTX so here's my thoughts: 1) Reviewers were aware of the MTX beforehand, they weren't stealthed in. I looked at em, saw a bunch of unnecessary shit and never thought about them again. Same as MHW, RE4, DMC5, etc. It's a bunch of pointless shit that you earn just playing the game. Yes MTX are shitty. No I don't give a shit about them. 2) "Fast travel is pay-gated" You get 5-6 port crystals in game and ferrystones drop frequently in end-game, nothing is pay gated. 3) "You have to pay to change your character" You get 2-3 changes at the in-game shop per playthrough and everytime you start a NG+ cycle. You'd need to do 4+ complete character overhauls in a single playthrough before you'd pay $$. 4) "Save is locked behind cloud" You can delete your save and restart, even though that is fucking dumb and shouldn't have to be the case. I get people being upset about performance, and people are always gonna bitch about MTX as expected, but the blatant amount of misinformation being pushed around for shit that's false is whack. If you're mad that MTX exist I get you, but let's not spread fake news about shit that's not true.

@butterflap 2 месяца назад

After dumping 80+ hours into this game I had to come back to this review and say I am struggling to understand how you came to the conclusion this game is a masterpiece. The combat and world are cool just like the first DD but this game is a complete and utter broken mess on almost every level not even including the MASSIVE performance issues I have experienced on pc. With almost every quest I did in the game breaking and constant bugs and random glitches having me stop and look up what the hell was going on it continually became apparent that this game was shipped completely unfinished. In just one of my many broken quests the npc randomly died at some point and I thought I was going insane trying to finish it as I had no idea who the npc was so I had to look all of this up on a guide to figure out wtf was happening meanwhile I have these random encounters throwing time based quests on top of the initial quest I’m trying to complete which I had to auto fail as I couldn’t travel where they wanted me to as I was too busy trying to find a dead npc to complete the quest. My entire quest experience throughout the game was truly awful and confusing to the point of frustration. Not that the quests really are good in the first place. The story starts off well enough and starts to turn into a bunch of convoluted nonsense all at once later making everything a confusing mess. I still had fun with the different classes and pawn system as well as some of the exploration but outside of that the game is really a backwards step for this series unless they patch the living shit out of this. I think more people will come to this conclusion after finishing the game and I’m wondering why it is receiving such high praise at this time. It’s still fun combat wise and there is some enjoyment to be had but a masterpiece is far from what I would call this. I would call it a fun but overall disappointing sequel. I could not recommend this to my friends right now without warning them the game is mostly broken so how can it be a “modern masterpiece” ? We are once again left with very cool ideas stuck in a complete mess of a game and this was how I felt about the first one tbh. It is a shame and the years of waiting don’t help anything so I feel pretty mislead having seen all the praise when other game companies would not get a pass on this. I will continue to hope major patches are incoming.

@FightinCowboy 2 месяца назад

I didn't have the technical issues given my PC so that wasn't an issue but I still called it out. As for quests it sounds likr user error tbh. Only time I had quests fail was from pushing the MSQ too far by mistake and locking me out, like evacuating 1 city and it turned out I needed those folks to finish a different cities quest. That's not the games fault tho.

@butterflap 2 месяца назад

@@FightinCowboy I was explicitly giving an example where it could not have been user error in this instance to convey it was the game itself. The npc getting killed across the map and disappearing had nothing to do with me cause I was not there. Last time I saw the npc it was alive. Most of the mechanics and quests seem designed to drag out the game rather than provide an experience although there are a couple enjoyable ones, this example took me an hour to get back to the morgue then revive then go back to the location then progress the quest which is ass after finding out I already wasted hours trying to solve an unsolvable quest at the time. Other examples would be the next part of a quest having no marker or destination or action that will advance the quest which usually turns into you are supposed to tackle a person. You could account that for user error but why would they not just put “apprehend” this npc or something similar in the quest description after detailed quest descriptions until that point. It’s almost like they barely finished the quests and planned to patch it and we are ignoring that when we are scrutinizing other companies for less. Capcom won’t fix the game if they think it’s a masterpiece already we gotta make sure they are aware of these major problems in the game. I’m hoping they patch things up and we can get an update video soon going over the feedback on the game and how they have handled it so I’ll keep an eye out for that 🤙🏻

@socrdude209 2 месяца назад

@@butterflap on ps5, the game deleted my many Inn saves and manual saves. I lost over 35 hours and a new pawn I had created. It set me back to a random old save near the beginning with my old pawn. Before I stopped because of this, I was finding the game a bit boring and easy. Same small enemies you have to fight between cities and towns which after level 20 felt more like a chore than fun. Inventory management was a joke, nothing enjoyable about it. I honestly stopped feeling the need or want to pick anything up. Combat was fun initially, but isn’t something I would yearn for after time. I really don’t understand how this could be a masterpiece either, perhaps I don’t have the same preferences in an rpg anymore as cowboy 🤷‍♂️ . I really wish I didn’t spend $70 on this game.

@Cab8819 Месяц назад

Agreed, this and many other reviews are either fully dilluded or simply overinvested in the games combat. The quests and systems that control quest completion are utter dogshit. Vanilla skyrim was more consistent and dynamic than this game. Im going on 120 hours in my first playthrough and have yet to be able to finish a quest without reloading because something broke. Didnt even know a dragon attacked melve until i looked up a guide for the mystic maister skill. Gonna have to wait for NG+ and hope that encounter doesnt break again so i can have a chance at the quest that lets me get it, but cant forget if i kill the drake in melve then i cant get the quest to get the miester skill, because, you know, the quest systems in this game are dogshit and leave no room for dynamic completion.

@Cab8819 Месяц назад

@@XxWolfxWaRioRxX Seems he wont but I will. Luke constantly proclaims things as facts when he does little to no research on the matter. Like he also makes 20-40 minute long videos on topics that really boil down to "In my opinion this thing is bad in games" but says it in a way as if it's objective, then give that same thing a positive rating in a different game. He has given misinformation before on quite a few games, saying he has put "hundreds of hours" into games, but still gets the most basic information wrong on said games. He's a known plagiarist. However, that was 6 years ago so take it as you will, maybe he's changed. I don't want to write a wall cause 99% of people wont read it, but all in all he says a lot of nothing in his "critiques", padded with fluff words and nonesense. Is negative about nearly every game he talks about for clicks. Overall if you like him that's fine, but there are 100s of better content creators worth listening to before him.

In the first game, after beating it, you could re-make the appearence of your character and pawn, will this game have this option too? I would like to make a beastren Arisen for my second run, but I've heard from Ratatoskr that you cannot restart the game for some reason, so this is an important aspect for me. I know there is at least one item in the game that allows this but I wonder if the number of times you can alter your appearence are limited.

@FightinCowboy 3 месяца назад

Yes you can. Everytime you start a NG+ cycle you can import and tweak or change your character. He was prob referring to starting a fresh game which involved purging the save file and is rather tricky.

@@FightinCowboy thank you for the clarification. Only thing left to hope is for the performance issues to be less severe on the final build, I have a medium tier build pc and, even though I upgraded my cpu just for this game, I still fear it's not going to be enough. I hope I can at least look forward to 30 stable fps at medium/high graphical settings.

Cowboy I played the first dragons dogma two years ago. Didn't like it because when you've never played it the combat feels clunky but I watched your videos and got the hang of it. I ended up finishing it when we were on vacation in north Arkansas. We ended up getting iced/snowed in at our cabin in the mountains and it was such a special time having the frosted mountains out the window behind the TV I was playing it on against the color palette of Dragon's Dogma. Good memories of that game. My wife enjoyed watching me play it as well. DD2 is one of my all time favorites.

Do you think it will be optimized properly at launch? Also with rumors of a "PS5 pro" supposedly being launched in holiday this year. (Extreme grain of salt to be taken here) its obvious that games could be running better in the near future. Would it be a good time to wait to play?
