Still exploring every inch of DD2. I honestly feel like this game doesn't even need a story. I can play for hours while only interacting with merchants/vocations NPC's.
I think the microtransactions story is pretty overblown after seeing what they actually are. I'm not giving them a pass, but I'm not bothered by them.
I haven't had one pop up saying "Check out the store!" like most games do. It would be great if they weren't included at all, but I have zero desire to purchase any of them.
The performance on the other hand is obviously a problem. It's a shame because it's the only thing really holding it back. I'm going to put a ridiculous amount of hours into regardless.
I'm either playing the game or wishing I was playing the game lol.
@BIG3 The game doesn't hold your hand at all. You just have to figure it out. There are so many things you can do that the game never tells you. The NPC's can be very vague when giving you a quest.
Plus I hope you like walking. Because you are going to be doing a heck of a lot of it.
@milonorth I had a similar experience. I normally hate card games in RPG's. I forced myself to "get good" and it really grew on me. The payoff is worth it if you stick it out.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Successfully Expanded the Series to New, Younger Players, Says Square Enix
"Opening such a dense franchise up to newcomers is never easy"
Especially when the fanbase isn't welcoming to new players. God forbid you didn't get into the series the exact same way.

Re: Rockstar's GTA+ Membership Putting Its Price Up
Come on guys. They only made $8.5 billion off of GTA5. How are they supposed to survive?
Re: Stellar Blade's Demo Had Way More Daily Active Players Than Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's
There has been multiple articles on this site that have pushed Stellar Blade while taking a shot at FF or DD2. It's kinda weird.

Re: Japan Sales Charts: Rise of the Ronin Has a Surprisingly Strong Second Week, Dragon's Dogma 2 Drops Off
I just don't know why we put so much stock in Japan sales? They clearly perfer mobile/handheld games.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon's Dogma 2?
It doesn't run at 8K 120 FPS on my $500 console. It's the worst game ever made.

CD Projekt RED judging people after Cyberpunk is hilarious.

Yeah. The photo mode is pretty basic unfortunately.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch 1.050 Adds Graphics Options, Gameplay Improvements on PS5

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dragon's Dogma 2?
I think it's pretty great myself. That said I'm sure a lot of people that didn't know what they were getting into are going to hate it lol.
Re: PSN Is Currently Down, Seemingly a Widespread Issue
Another win for the single player games.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2024?
I dropped down to Essential a few months back. Zero regrets. I don't think the value is there unless you don't often buy games or are new to PS.
Re: Hi-Fi Rush (PS5) - Xbox Gem Makes Its Rhythmic Debut on PS5
Not for me. I'm sure I will be buying an Xbox game on PS5 at some point, but haven't be interested so far. The Outer Worlds 2 would be day one.
Re: Sony Allegedly Pausing PSVR2 Production Due to Surplus of Unsold Stock

Re: Monster Hunter World Has Now Sold a Staggering 25 Million Copies
Fond memories.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
The combat and music are Godtier. I'm 90 hours in and haven't even finished the story. It's in my top 5 available PS5 games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 519
Rebirth might have the greatest music of any game I have ever played. It's incredible how it's on point at all times.
Re: Helldivers 2 PS5, PC Almost Matching Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Sales in UK

Re: Rumour: Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Will Finally, Finally Release Later This Year
If this flops BioWare is dead. It feels like they kinda already are. Which pains me to say.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for March 2024?
I will get to Sifu at some point. Rebirth has consumed my life and Dragons Dogma 2 is right around corner.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 518
Rebirth of course. I'm exploring every inch of this game.
