      Releases March 22. I never played the first one but the videos all look good. I like the different classes. I will probably go with the standard shield and sword warrior but the thief is a close second. Sorcerer is cool but I hate getting my *** kicked up close lol.

      I do have some major concerns. Not happy that the game doesn’t have a performance mode for better frame rate. It’s an uncapped frame rate right now and hopefully maintains at least 30 FPS. There is very limited fast travel. And only ONE save slot? What kind of stupidity is this? Save files should be virtually unlimited. If you start as one character you can’t have a second save to try something else?

          This is a hilarious preview: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/how...-dogma-2-act-1

          A lot of people got a 3 hour hands on. Some good previews out there.

          Plus you can download a character creator right now on PS5/Xbox, etc. Can create 5 main characters and 5 pawns to prepare yourself for the games release March 22. All characters will transfer.

            Game is getting really good reviews. Graphics won’t be top notch but the fighting, pawns and adventure are a lot of fun. Old school map with no icons, no fast travel and other stuff may annoy people but it’s crazy fun apparently. Getting 87+ in reviews on average. No difficulty level but it is supposed to be dynamic and hard.


            This gloriously messy, medieval-flavoured silliness will give you the best adventure you’ve had in years. There’s nothing quite like it


            The Dragon's Dogma series consists of action games in a fantasy setting where players adventure in an expansive open world of swords and magic. Dragon's Dogma 2 is the latest title in the series, and the first mainline entry since the first Dragon's Dogma was released in 2012. The game is currently in production, and with a development environment that leverages Capcom's proprietary RE ENGINE it is sure to satisfy both newcomers as well as long-time fans.

              Reviews said this game is tanking even 13900K CPUs in highly populated areas.

                Surprised there's no preload for PC players. Thankfully I have good download speeds, but feel bad for those out there with less than 10mbps

                    Yeah, I don't think that the micro transactions were well advertised (shocker). The examples that I have seen are pretty insane (even if they are avoidable).

                      Correct me if I'm wrong, but are the MTX not all for things you can earn by playing naturally? They're just shortcuts for people willing to spend money to save some time.

                      I don't have an issue with them in that case.

                        Just getting started but I fail to see how this game shouldn’t have hit a locked 60 fps. The graphics and animations on PS5 look like a PS4 game lol. The fade to black cut scenes with dialogue button presses is like a PS3 format. I know what a lot of the reviewers meant by goofy or inferior things like this. But I’m excited to get out and explore today. Looks like each vocation will have some cool fighting skills but you have to wait to add them to your character as you level up.

                          Played a couple hours this morning. Once you get to a town where you can upgrade your character skills and then set out on adventure it gets good. Lots of things to fight. I quickly dump bad pawns for better ones when I can lol. I did venture into a cave and got my *** kicked after thinking things were too easy.

                          Kind of wish I stuck with my initial plan of being a fighter. Went thief with my main pawn a fighter instead of a mage sidekick. Inventory weight concerns are real. Dump some stuff off on your pawns.

                          Having fun so far.

                          Edit: glad pawn controls are simple and you don’t have full control over them. DAI was annoying with how much you had to manage.

                            Watched The Green Knight earlier so I used Dev Patel as the model for my Arisen. I'm sure with more time or skill I could have done a better job but I'm happy with it.

                            About 7 hours in so far:
                            - 3 creating my Arisen (warrior) and Pawn (mage)
                            - 2 main story
                            - 2 wandering into trouble and doing NPC quest

                            Love how dark the nights get. Really amps up the risk/reward of when to set out on your journey. FYI - I believe the day night cycles through every 45 real world minutes.

                            I'm still rolling with the 2 low level pawns I used to fill out my part in the beginning. We feel like a real team so I'm hesitant to let them go but probably should. Also the pawns pointing out treasure, killing and gathering stuff on their own is really helpful. They repeat some lines too often but I can live with it.

                            Overall I'm really enjoying the game. it's an open world but not too open if that makes sense. I feel like I have the freedom to go wherever but it's not overwhelming since there aren't map markers screaming at you everywhere.18e719c0d6f29-screenshotUrl.jpeggreen-knight-anatomy1-mediumSquareAt3X.jpeggreen-knight-dev-patel.jpeg18e719bdeb541-screenshotUrl.jpeg

                              Watched a few playthroughs of this and it’s just not enticing me to buy. We’ve seen so many fantasy open world games that for me the luster has been completely wiped away, especially when there have been titles before it that have done some of the more nuanced things better.

                              At this point there are a few non negotiables that I’m not seeing, near absolute requirements (some things can get a pass, but rarely).

                              Not going to deep dive into those requirements at the moment (I’ll probably come back and edit a list in), but yeah, all I saw was ho hum, generic fantasy world that animates like a PS3 game with a PS5 sheen over it.
