god that's so awesome.
Dragon's Dogma 2 review - endless discoveries paired with limitless potential
Our review of Dragon's Dogma 2 - a quirky sequel that improves on the original.www.eurogamer.net
Judging by Eurogamer's review, this game's emergent storytelling sounds incredible.
True, though that one only highlights the issue further since World Tour was also pretty badly optimized, and DD2 is presumably quantifiably more ambitious.

Wilds is pushing creature density and weather effects on top of possibly being open-world (or at least as big as the Guiding Lands from World). If they're going for dynamic seasons like what the end of the trailer seemed to suggest then things could get crazy, at least on consoles.
What I want to know is how it feels on Series X on a VRR screen. Just wondering if the larger VRR window vs PS5 makes a noticeable difference.
It actually might seem the PS5 version is the way to go unless you have a above mid-tier gaming PC...
Ah, so it's the Monster Hunter World Problem where an underpowered CPU will severely bottleneck performance regardless of what GPU you have. Hm.
Hopefully my Core i5-13600K plus Radeon 7800XT is enough, if not I guess I'll refund and either wait for a patch or go console.

There is no frame-gen unfortunately. (Source: I played it)
As a game, sounds phenomenal. Performance issues could be a concern, but I made it through DD1 on PS3 so I'm used to that from this series (love that I can say "series" about this properly now!!)
It has DLSS3 right? Seems to from the promo video here. Any footage of performance with it enabled?

Yeah... I've got an 11980HK, so I'm looking at the impressions here and feeling cold sweat pour down my back, lmao. I'm gonna give it a try and pray since I have no other platform to play this on, but... eesh.
Closest CPU in this article is a 7900
Dragon's Dogma 2 performance analysis: It'll take everything your PC has and still want more
I hope you have a top-end CPU and GPU because you're really going to need them.
IGN's says the plot and characters are interesting.
Still, this is a Capcom game, story is not their strongest perk.
Reviews are good as expected, but those comments on PC performance have me seriously considering cancelling my preorder and picking it up on sale in a few months.
Still have Infinite Wealth and Rebirth to finish up anyways.

FWIW I disagree with the "bad narrative" complaints. In my review I made special mention about how the main story is actually enriched by some of the sidequests, and I ended up feeling pretty positive about it overall.
Metacritic score is 87 right now and 89 on OC.
To be honest DragDog was never going to be a game that was going to get 10s everywhere, it's weird and esoteric in a way a Zelda game isn't and even with all of the polish in the world it's definitely not gonna click with everyone.
Yep. Story wise I don't remember anything about the first game except the beginning and the end. Everything in between is a blur.
Should I just make a PC Performance thread? Since a few people in here are trying to discuss it. Or is it too early?

That's great news seeing as they heralded Spider-Man 2 as one of the greatest games ever made.
Sounding good, overall. Gonna play this on the not-so-maximum setting and hope it doesn't fry my PC.

Go for it, the PC performance thread for Elden Ring went up when reviews did as things were looking spooky ☠️
That's the thing that confuses me. DD has always been a series that inspires very divisive and very PASSIONATE responses, both positive and negative. Everyone expecting the sequel to be something like BG3 where it universally clicks with EVERYBODY always confused me.
My worries about lack of plot in DD1 was eased by the characters and some chatty Pawns. With Pawns being better in this game, even on conversation alone, maybe that'll help.
Fucking Christ.
How does this make sense in any way?
Sometimes I wish devs would simply stick to older graphic engines and simply max them out. Insane how a lot of games on max settings barely look better than 10 year old games while these 10 year old games run on fucking toasters while this one runs like shit even on DLSS BALANCED and the best GPU out there. WTF.

I haven't read the review, but it's worth keeping in mind that plenty of people would consider the design goals of Dragon's Dogma to be "its weaknesses".

I updated it like 10 mins ago, check the OP. It's 87 on PS5 which has the most reviews...
I agree. I do wonder how many reviewers bothered to go back to Melve, do the Havre sidequests, etc. There is plenty of stuff to find, but you have to dig it up yourself (which is great imo).
