Dragon's Dogma 2

Entiendo la critica que tuvo en un inicio, con las mejoras [ y sobretodo la última] es más que jugable y disfrutable Merece la pena al menos pasarselo 1 vez.

Having a blast still after 600+ hours

my feet hurt...

They made the performance much better over the course of my playthrough with the new patch. So performance is not an issue for me anymore. Gameplay is awesome, it is a lot fun, although loot is meaningless everywhere except towns. They need to make that better in the DLC, because adventuring is fun, but pointless for equipment and treasure. Be careful that if you go too far into the main quest, it also locks you into the ugly red epilogue world, which was a sore to look at, despite the enemies being fun. So make sure you do all the side quests and explore everything you want to before progressing. The story is very bad, most of the quests are very boring and most of the characters have the most boring personality and dialogue I've ever seen. The middle English verbage is also annoying and repetitive. The ending tries to justify the poor quality of the story and characters that with some badly executed metanarrative ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ which is even more badly written. Seems like the writer was whining about the state of fantasy stories, but they did not have the skill to come even close to executing it properly. If I wanted that, I'd play Undertale. I have seen countless mediocre triple A and indie games with mediocre or boring stories, but Dragon's Dogma 2 takes the cake for actually being able to piss me off by the end of it. Pathfinder is also the biggest ♥♥♥♥♥ I've ever seen in any videogame. I won't say "play if you don't care about writing and story in videogames", because the story is very intrusive, and the pawn dialogue also gets very annoying throughout it. So in that sense it isn't something you can ignore. Buy the game only if this unique gameplay still makes you want to play despite all the rest of the game being completely bare bones. If you can wait for when the DLC itself gets a discount along with the main game, that'd be the best time to get it.

20 hours in as of now and it's a solid 7/10* ( 2 years waiting for the fixes + removal of DRM [ main reason I waited 2 years to buy the game ] ). Combat is fun and changing vocations to experiment with different playstyles paired with exploring the map without any guides or external sources of information is an amazing experience, the community pawns helping point out POIs is really nice. Game runs reasonably well and mostly free of bugs ( small stutters while running in open areas and NPCs still load just a few feet away from the player inside cities - 2 Saurians spawned at the center of Vernworth but that only happened once and it was pretty funny so I guess I can let that one slide ). Will keep an eye out on the DRM situation since Capcom added Enigma to other games after removing Denuvo ( changing a product to a state in which a consumer would have avoided the purchase is a pretty important part of consumer right here in Brazil so I am making it as public as I can - I only purchased the game due to the removal of DRM ). Edit: * - 7/10 is good almost great - one more big patch to fix those minor stutter and increase NPC "draw distance" and it's a 8/10 ( that to me is 1 point short of games such as Witcher 3, HiFi Rush, Baldur's Gate 3). Good on you Capcom ( thou it would've been better to release the game as it is right now in the first place ).

I'm here for the pawns and I love the game. but If I'm being honest, they need to fire the scriptwriters. Story , at least what I've seen so far, is ok, generic fantasy stuff, Vo is great, but the script... It sounds like it was translated to be as inoffensive as possible, and feels very stiff, like it was written without understanding how people that speak English actually communicate. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS SO ON POINT I DONT CARE! if the Dialogue was a little more snappy, and took more chances to make jokes or be sarcastic or flippant I would give it a 10/10, right now its the biggest turd in the pool because when my PAWN open their mouths I'm reminded they have no soul, BUT when they run around and do thing on heir own and brings things to me or work together in a fight, all of that is top tier, 20/10 I am genuinely afraid of the power creep without a hard mode though, crossing my fingers they commit to that. I think Localization missed the context of "Pawns" referring to you as "Master" sounding cringe in english, and feels kind of gross as the only people with "masters" in English are slaves. Makes me wonder if the translation for Master is derived from Senpai or Sensei, which contextually would make a ton of sense, When I mentally substitute these terms for master it feel much less like I've got a gaggle of helpful slaves, but again, the gameplay transcends that bad writing/translation. The game is very worth playing. I don't typically feel the need to go this deep into a review, but in the context of DD I think its worth knowing the gameplay really does a great job despite the cringe dialogue.

I skipped this game because the performance was apparently really bad and tried Gothic instead. Gothic is literally unplayable for me and this game runs totally fine. I got this game on discount and it really should go on sale more, but after playing thus far I'd pay full price knowing what I know now.
