@@nathanduncan6919Sure. But you shouldn't need the bleeding edge of PCs just to run a RPG in a passable manner.

Frame rate drops yes, but the people having issues are not on that kind of rig. 4090 and a mid cpu will have sluggish fps though

Nice, MH Rise had a lot of problems, but the soundtrack definitely wasn't one of them. IMO it completely outclassed MHW's score by a landslide, barring a few exceptions like Rotten Vale or Bazelgeuse's theme.
I played the game for about 14hours today on ps5 and i had no crashes and not really big bugs or something just small lags about 2-3 times but i had a blast when i got in to it great game

@@MasterJiraiyaGaminIt's just people have very big standards. If someone wants to enjoy the game then if the drops of fps wouldn't happen very often, they will enjoy it. I once had a friend in high school that had some mini drops in fps during playing cs go or some other games and he was screaming that he can't play because of that, meanwhile during that time I had very old computer, so I had around 30 fps in cs go and I was enjoying it and it really didn't affect my game. Even now I heard many bad opinions on graphic mode for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on ps5, meanwhile I enjoy the game so far and I really don't feel much difference between 60 fps and 30 fps :P
I made my pawn originally as Melina from elden ring by for some reason I couldn't transfer my pawn from character creator so I just stuck with a default
Honestly i have been playing on PS5 and it runs great. Now im not getting 60fps or anything but im also about 5 hours in and have experienced zero bugs or chopping
Just watched a DF video that shows it going to the 20s in towns and anywhere in between 20s and 45fps in the wilds. That kinda sucks on ps5 without vrr.
You can buy metamorphosis in game to change appearance with rift currency. So far the game is great. It’s single player so if the micro transactions bother you just don’t buy them.
@@ztnep_3670 you can also apparently get an item that lets you do that in-game with in-game currency. Same with the 1st game. I hate that the microtransactions exist in the first place but this is pretty much a non-issue.

I actually tried this game for the second time and it finally clicked and now I can’t put it down. I ran into an Asmongold pawn that looks just like Asmongold.
Tried it when it launched on ps5 not knowing anything about previous dd games. And I hated it due to poor perfomance. Now I've got a ps5 pro and the game is now even optimized for my console and im having a blast. I just can't stop playing it.
Personally I don't think you need to rest if the game feels too easy. I'm 19 hours in & still haven't rested, my online pawn hasn't updated and says level 2. Having a smaller hp bar does make things harder but even then you kind of just get used to it and mess around with mechanics until you figure out when there is an opening.
His opinion on the microtransactions (around 8:27:00) affair is not even an opinion he's basically saying "it's bad, i don't know why". It's literally useless stuff to speed up gameplay for people like journalists or dads, and the game doesn't push anything ever and it's a singleplayer game you don't get affected by other people. You only see the store in the main menu and that's it. You are there for 3 seconds booting the game...
It is already dad casual game why do they need to speed up the process. If they don't have the time to play the game then don't play it. You pay 70$ for the game and then you actually pay more money to waste less time in the game that you are supposed to enjoy. Why do you play it in first place then?
@@Lebronscome Yep everyone can enjoy what they want but why you guys here normalize microtransactions. Sure it's not a big problem for now but it is clear that microtransactions will and are becoming worse and more invasive over time. Let other people critisize this shit if your some casual dad gamer just play it without saying in internet that it is some goty game XD
@@marasyq5686 what kind of logic is that my man. It's not a thing that's forced on you by any means. I paid 70 dollars and that's it. What are you even talking about, i don't need to spend more, the game is fine and complete. But IF someone wanted to buy useless stuff to slightly speed up the game in the beginning it wouldn't be any of your business (or mine). This guy actually spends money on gacha for content and then goes on about how something that's not even impactful in a single player game ruins everything for everyone I don't like extra monetization in games that are very smart about exploiting people's need for gambling, but opinions like this one are an exageration built on oversemplification and disinformation. I like this even less. I've seen a clip of that pirate guy telling everyone to go play Helldivers instead. What about in-game currency and battlepass in that game? That's somewhat ok but this isn't? double standards. Everyone should focus on the REAL problem here, a 70$ game that runs like shit on the majority of systems.
I played/streamed it for just under 14hrs straight. I'm in love with this game. I haven't been this hooked on a game in years. I love everything about it except the performance issues obviously lol
Quickest way You can unlock new vocations by handing in a weapon associated with the vocation, example: hand in a two handed sword unlocks the warrior vocation.
Pawn : "I know when to come and assist curing you master, you can count on me !" Asmon : "What about knowing when to shut the fuck up ?" Damn that bloody killed me xD !!
I know this is late, but the area with the ladder has a cave 1:33:00, that is blocked at this point in the game due to story reasons, it opens up after an encounter where you get to choose to go with the soldier escort or to venture on your own (the reason it is blocked is that it is actually a shortcut, and would bypass the encounter).
I love reading people being mad over literally nothing. You all are acting as if moving forwards costs 10 dolars but those who know how this game works know that those microtransactions literally mean nothing, more even they take away most of the gameplay because this game is about traveling and adventure that you cut yourself from with those stones. Even character creation thing can be bought in the first city you go to... How dumb people can be its amazing. The real issue is performence
@@ltlsWhatltIs They said fairly early that there will be only one save slot. It was like that in the first game. It's due to the pawn system and how their servers work for that. First game also had only one safe slot even in dark arisen version... Its just how they want it, not being able to delete it and start over is another topic
I can't shake the feeling that a society where you can't go 10 meters out of a major city without being attacked by goblins, huge trolls and ghosts working together to get your ass would face some difficulties in order to thrive. How about some cleaning patrols, like on the week ends or something ? Maybe not 1 oxcart with a bag of rice in it, but maybe 2 to 3 oxcarts with a bag of rice in it would make it.
that's because in the lore the monsters become more aggressive after the dragon was awake, so like is this chaotic due to that, the npcs in game always keep saying things are going bad to worse since the dragon was awoken.
It’s usually a lot more chill times, the dragon appearing stirs the pot a lot more and makes it waaay more dangerous thus causes a lot of problems for the player to solve
I think the micro transactions are perfectly fine in this game. They don't add anything to the game, but they allow those of us who work an average job who don't have the time to farm for the teleport stones or wakestones to be able to get those faster so they can spend more time playing the game and less time playing exploration simulator.
The original Dragons Dogma was about being a magical pimp and equipping your pawn to have the best equipment and look good in tights. If Dragons Dogma 2 isn't the same...
For anybody wanting to play this game, if you have a decent rig and are okay with having 30 fps in towns (most of your gameplay is outside towns/cities) then just buy it and play it. Don't do it if you are on a budget but if you have scrap to spare then just do it, I genuinely think this game is amazing and it deserves for more people to try it out. I've been so addicted these past few days it's been fucking nuts. If you have more than 2 brain cells jerking each other off you would see by now how little these mtx matter in the game, if at all, so unless you are hyper against it and decided already to vote with your wallet. I urge you to try this masterpiece out. On a side note; I understand asking people to spend $70 isn't reasonable on the internet but if you have that kind of money to spare, this game isn't a waste of it at all.
It is a waste to buy this game for 70 dollars whether you can afford it or not. First 10 hours are magical, but the next 30 it falls flat on its face with bad storytelling, barely any new monsters, bad cutscenes, etc. I'd advise buying the game off kinguin or wait for a big sale. It's worth TOPS 45 dollars/euros.
@@Zindril As pointed out by the director of the game, this was never about a great story at all but the adventure you choose to have in your playthrough, hence the 'passage of time' mechanic, which means every person will have a different experience with their game. There's nearly 0 hand holding in the game and it's all about your choices and exploration, I agree the story is pretty basic but I also think it might be that you had high expectations to begin with. The complaint is valid and understandable but my point is; the game has so much more to offer than just a story, that it's very silly to reduce it to only that and dismiss everything else in the game. However, enemy variety is lacking, that I do agree. Either way, I've personally had a blast playing this game and it's mainly why I'd still despite these complaints, would 100% recommend getting this game. It truly feels like one of a kind.
Delete save in your storage. I actually love this bc you cant accidentally delete a save file now. Youd be surprised what can happen when a controller is put down and drops on its face and random buttons are pressed…
@@bradkirchhoff5703That is a valid point but I would say the fact that i have to go turn of cloud save, go into the folder and delete a file outside of the game is way more tedious then it is good.

2:45:30 he should listen to the pawns. The new one told him something very important and he blew it off. Pawns get a plague. They kill everyone around them, including important npcs.
For anyone wondering about the micro transaction drama and hate, it’s MASSIVELY blown out of proportion, play the game and you’ll quickly see once out of the tutorial and into the first little barracks most of the items from the store are there and able to be purchased The pawn and main character purchasable items are either in the first town or city which you get to fairly quickly. Rift crystals are obtained from literally everything you do, you could zone out playing for an hour in the starting zone, check and see you have over 1-2k already Overall the store is still stupid but everything can be earned in game essentially instantly
Who cares. It’s a god damn single player game. Micro transactions are completely unnecessary. Especially when theyre going to release their pc port and it doesn’t work for half the people that paid 70 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR IT.
yea I agree. I've been playing and so far its been great, I hate review bombers who just join the band wagon. A lot of people are under the impression that the mtx items arent attainable without money (i see why, monster hunter does this all the time) but if they'd just play it theyd see its actually pretty good.
The micro transactions are stupid but I just jumped in without looking up anything and had a BLAST for 4 hours till I needed to sleep. It’s great fun I had no idea about the micro transactions at all
I started as mage bc I just had to see the magic. I went and got that archstaff and the greatsword. Gotta say, that dungeon you find them in is better than any dungeon in D4, Souls games or any rpg. Just the dungeon alone…
Yeah I think the level design is really good, a lot of verticality and varied terrain, I love the forest areas in the mountains, it’s like treasure hunting and butchering local wild life while hiking and enjoying a great view, and it all looks very LOTR inspired to boot!
Havent thought to try that yet. The game is an absolute BEAST though. As a vet of the original Im in heaven playing this game. Its soooo fn good. The magic feels even better than it looked in videos.
I don't think the door glitch works because you don't need to press any buttons to open the doors so they're not technically "solid" like in the first game, even the locked doors kind of interact and move when your character touches them, but would be funny if it's still there lol
@@bradkirchhoff5703been loving thief just unlocked the mage u need the arch staff for at work rn but I’m super excited to try it the lightning magic looks incredible
To be fair, these micro transactions are similar to the ones in Monster Hunter World and Devil May Cry 5. They still suck, but they’re not unusual for Capcom and they’re mostly unnecessary. However, paying to re-edit your character is made worse by the fact you only have ONE character slot and that it’s made very difficult to start a new game again. Capcom over estimated themselves with Dragon’s Dogma unfortunately. Edit: actually, you can re edit your character with in game currency by visiting a certain place in game. So, I guess you can completely ignore the dlc after all. Maybe the reaction wouldn’t have been so negative if the performance wasn’t so poor at launch. And the obstacles to start a new character easily.
Man I wish I had a 10k gaming PC so that I could actually enjoy the game. It's SO poorly optimized it's actually a joke. I just got to the capitol and I'm pretty sure (not kidding) my frame rate is like 13.
Dude, the original only had one save file so it is in keeping with that which was still loved, and there is an option to change character for free by finding the in-game items. You are not forced to pay for anything you can't already find in-game. FPS does need addressing though.
@@sparton4747 Fortunately, a workaround does exist of turning off cloud saves and then deleting the local save. Not ideal, nor does it excuse them, but if you need immediate solution, there you go.
But this is the thing, character editing is free in the game, but internet is the kingdom of ignorance and most people don't search if something is real before echoing bs. About the one save file, unfortunately Capcom didn't learn. The first game has the same frikin limitation.
When people are defending useless micro transactions, it’s no wonder why we are constantly getting shitty games and getting companies making a bunch of live service micro transaction games.
That doesn't even make sense. These micro transactions are things you can always do in game without paying. You don't need them at all. This game isn't live service. Capcom has been doing this for so long and you're only noticing now because people are bringing attention to it. You don't need them like you never need them in the games they make. Ignore them. 🤦🏾♂️
@@Theresnotenoughlet him be, him and everyone else will be crying about this for about week then find something else to rage about. Yeah the mtx suck but what's done is done. They can either play or not.
@@Theresnotenough If we don't need them, they shouldn't be there. If they are there, it means that the game is designed around it to an extent. FFS you pay full price for a game, you launch the game, and the fking game have the balls to ask you more money for basic quality of life before you even play it.
@Palindrome3945 your entire statement is false. They have these exact same micro transactions in Devil May Cry. You have never needed them at all. "To an extent" no. You don't need them at all. You don't even have to look at them. Play the damn game. The micro transactions are the most unnecessary things there. It doesn't affect you whether you buy them or not. You're complaining about nothing. 🤦🏾♂️
@Palindrome3945 saying since we don't need them means nothing btw. You don't need 3 companions, but you can get them. You don't need to climb on monsters, but you can if you want to. You don't need a shortcut in the game, but you can take it if you want to. Just stop complaining about it. It doesn't affect you one bit and it never in the past Capcom games.
people complain about the weirdest shit someone said "wow this game has no color" well its a medieval fantasy game me personally i cant recall a single knight walking around in colorful ass armor
Well why not ? They did have colorful clothes and battle gear back then. I like the color tone thought, but it could be more colorful and keep the "serious realistic" Aesthetic. The landscapes are fantastic
Yeah, people should really wait 2 years or so. There will probably be an edition with infinite versions of the MTX already included like the first game
I mean… if you buy the mtx that’s on you for being stupid lol, it’s identical to the first game where you unlock everything with a bit of gameplay. Like most mtx stuff from Capcom. Remember when Red Orbs kept you from enjoying DMCV? Or you gave up on Resident Evil 4 because you could upgrade your gun by buying tickets? Or monster hunter became unplayable when they added new emotes? None of those things make a difference if you get them or not. Just ignore them. It’s Capcom, they’ve always done this and it’s never been bad. I am 1000% fine with Capcom doing this. You want an actual shitty example look at Total War: Warhammer games. Start with like 4 factions available out of like 30 and each new one costs $10-20 depending. They’re all already in game and enemies can use them, but if you want to use them you need to pay. THAT is a shitty practice. Or if Capcom releases a street fighter and you only get half the roster and need to pay for the rest, that would be bad. Imo if it GENUINELY doesn’t affect gameplay or wall you from certain things already in game then mtx are fine. Every major Capcom game in like the last 15 years had stuff like this, even Dragons Dogma 1 and it didn’t make a lick of difference. I think it’s stupid but… probably fulfilling a shareholder requirement and doing so in the least intrusive way possible. They aren’t locking like races or classes behind a paywall, purely optional stuff you unlock anyway.
@@bigpuppyshoes5033take it up with Capcom then. They've literally been doing this stuff for all their games for well over a decade. Nobody had a problem with it in DMC 4/5 and resident evil. Monster hunter world has a paid character edit voucher which is the ONLY way to change appearance, but suddenly it's just now a problem with dd2 because everyone is lying about not being able to get ALL of the mtx in game for free(except for maybe the port crystal, but you're already able to get like 10 of em in game, 1 extra really isn't going to make a difference). This game specifically is basically being targeted by a smear campaign and everyone is just eating it up because they haven't had anything to bitch about for a week.
@@wr5488 they designed the game in a way that you have to go new game+ to even get a proper amount of upgrades in yojr first plathrough in DMC 5. This is a statement from my perspectuve as a casual DMC player and compared with a DMC fanatic (a friend of mine) who completed the game 5 times. So yes the MTX is influencing the gameplay an design. Even over hLf of the reviews of DMC still mention that it takes way longer to unlock simple moves. Now lets focus on DD1. All the content was included (with a bunch of rift crystals) for the PC port. The infinite ferrystone was locked behind pre-purchase before it was included in the PC port. This meant infinite travel for pre purchase players. This is a change in gameplay. A huge one. Undeniable. Now with DD2 rift crystals the hardest to get currency can be bought en masse. This is also a huge game changer. And that we are able to earn them doesn't make a difference as the game will be designed around the MTX amount. And the MTX amount of crystals you can buy are ridicilously high, which means the gameplay will be influenced by it. Meanwhile you get embarassingly low amounts of them. Also the deluxe edition of the game literally gives you rift crystals too. And 1500 is also a ridicilously high amount. Meaning that there is a gameplay mechanic requiring these amounts. But again, you collect them slowly and won't even probably reach that amount in a single playthrough as a casual player. This was massive problem in the first game too so there is no denial to this. The community alread has spoken. Also look at the reviews of the game. It's below 40% positive rating. I don't think that what you believe is anything worth in capcoms eyes. They deman 70 bucks, lie to the customers (the beta test being stable, DRM free and not including MTX, which got reviewed and then the release version had all three issues at once) and still get away with it. I agree that MTX only is not as bad and people would still recommend tbe game but in combination with all that's curretly going on? Well, no need to discuss one issue seperately if they won't even fix the others for the next 2 years.
I don't get why people have issues with microtransactions in single-player games. It's optional. MTs in multi-player games can be PtW and that's junk. But in solo play?? Who cares!?! You do you! Make it easier, make it harder, fast travel, or don't! I am cheap and don't buy stuff. Hasn't made me enjoy a game any less. I may have to grind a bit more. But if the MTs weren't there, I'd be doing the same thing anyways!!

@@nathanduncan6919Sure. But you shouldn't need the bleeding edge of PCs just to run a RPG in a passable manner. When even people with 4090s and the top intel CPU fail to manage in the main city, that's not on the customer for having a subpar rig. That's poor coding and resource management on the Dev end.

Personally I don't think you need to rest if the game feels too easy. I'm 19 hours in & still haven't rested, my online pawn hasn't updated and says level 2. Having a smaller hp bar does make things harder but even then you kind of just get used to it and mess around with mechanics until you figure out when there is an opening.
His opinion on the microtransactions (around 8:27:00) affair is not even an opinion he's basically saying "it's bad, i don't know why". It's literally useless stuff to speed up gameplay for people like journalists or dads, and the game doesn't push anything ever and it's a singleplayer game you don't get affected by other people. You only see the store in the main menu and that's it. You are there for 3 seconds booting the game...
Yeah I agree, I get the annoyance over microtransactions, but the amount of people just parotting stuff they don't really understand is just cringe
It is already dad casual game why do they need to speed up the process. If they don't have the time to play the game then don't play it. You pay 70$ for the game and then you actually pay more money to waste less time in the game that you are supposed to enjoy. Why do you play it in first place then?

But IF someone wanted to buy useless stuff to slightly speed up the game in the beginning it wouldn't be any of your business (or mine).
This guy actually spends money on gacha for content and then goes on about how something that's not even impactful in a single player game ruins everything for everyone
I don't like extra monetization in games that are very smart about exploiting people's need for gambling, but opinions like this one are an exageration built on oversemplification and disinformation. I like this even less.
I've seen a clip of that pirate guy telling everyone to go play Helldivers instead. What about in-game currency and battlepass in that game? That's somewhat ok but this isn't? double standards.
Everyone should focus on the REAL problem here, a 70$ game that runs like shit on the majority of systems.

I know this is late, but the area with the ladder has a cave 1:33:00, that is blocked at this point in the game due to story reasons, it opens up after an encounter where you get to choose to go with the soldier escort or to venture on your own (the reason it is blocked is that it is actually a shortcut, and would bypass the encounter).
I love reading people being mad over literally nothing. You all are acting as if moving forwards costs 10 dolars but those who know how this game works know that those microtransactions literally mean nothing, more even they take away most of the gameplay because this game is about traveling and adventure that you cut yourself from with those stones. Even character creation thing can be bought in the first city you go to... How dumb people can be its amazing. The real issue is performence

@@ltlsWhatltIs They said fairly early that there will be only one save slot. It was like that in the first game. It's due to the pawn system and how their servers work for that.

Ok. You went a little overboard with the bald patch but good job making the character look like you, holy cow
I can't shake the feeling that a society where you can't go 10 meters out of a major city without being attacked by goblins, huge trolls and ghosts working together to get your ass would face some difficulties in order to thrive.
How about some cleaning patrols, like on the week ends or something ? Maybe not 1 oxcart with a bag of rice in it, but maybe 2 to 3 oxcarts with a bag of rice in it would make it.
that's because in the lore the monsters become more aggressive after the dragon was awake, so like is this chaotic due to that, the npcs in game always keep saying things are going bad to worse since the dragon was awoken.
yeah imagine having to run small errand like give some letter to small town, it become a do or die quest =)
It’s usually a lot more chill times, the dragon appearing stirs the pot a lot more and makes it waaay more dangerous thus causes a lot of problems for the player to solve
I think the micro transactions are perfectly fine in this game. They don't add anything to the game, but they allow those of us who work an average job who don't have the time to farm for the teleport stones or wakestones to be able to get those faster so they can spend more time playing the game and less time playing exploration simulator.

For anybody wanting to play this game, if you have a decent rig and are okay with having 30 fps in towns (most of your gameplay is outside towns/cities) then just buy it and play it. Don't do it if you are on a budget but if you have scrap to spare then just do it, I genuinely think this game is amazing and it deserves for more people to try it out. I've been so addicted these past few days it's been fucking nuts.
If you have more than 2 brain cells jerking each other off you would see by now how little these mtx matter in the game, if at all, so unless you are hyper against it and decided already to vote with your wallet. I urge you to try this masterpiece out.
On a side note; I understand asking people to spend $70 isn't reasonable on the internet but if you have that kind of money to spare, this game isn't a waste of it at all.
It is a waste to buy this game for 70 dollars whether you can afford it or not. First 10 hours are magical, but the next 30 it falls flat on its face with bad storytelling, barely any new monsters, bad cutscenes, etc.
I'd advise buying the game off kinguin or wait for a big sale. It's worth TOPS 45 dollars/euros.
@@Zindril As pointed out by the director of the game, this was never about a great story at all but the adventure you choose to have in your playthrough, hence the 'passage of time' mechanic, which means every person will have a different experience with their game. There's nearly 0 hand holding in the game and it's all about your choices and exploration, I agree the story is pretty basic but I also think it might be that you had high expectations to begin with. The complaint is valid and understandable but my point is; the game has so much more to offer than just a story, that it's very silly to reduce it to only that and dismiss everything else in the game.
However, enemy variety is lacking, that I do agree.
Either way, I've personally had a blast playing this game and it's mainly why I'd still despite these complaints, would 100% recommend getting this game. It truly feels like one of a kind.
The only gripe i have is the no start over option.
Delete save in your storage. I actually love this bc you cant accidentally delete a save file now. Youd be surprised what can happen when a controller is put down and drops on its face and random buttons are pressed…

2:45:30 he should listen to the pawns.
The new one told him something very important and he blew it off.
Pawns get a plague. They kill everyone around them, including important npcs.
For anyone wondering about the micro transaction drama and hate, it’s MASSIVELY blown out of proportion, play the game and you’ll quickly see once out of the tutorial and into the first little barracks most of the items from the store are there and able to be purchased
The pawn and main character purchasable items are either in the first town or city which you get to fairly quickly.
Rift crystals are obtained from literally everything you do, you could zone out playing for an hour in the starting zone, check and see you have over 1-2k already
Overall the store is still stupid but everything can be earned in game essentially instantly
Who cares. It’s a god damn single player game. Micro transactions are completely unnecessary. Especially when theyre going to release their pc port and it doesn’t work for half the people that paid 70 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR IT.
Maybe they should fix the fucking performance issue first
yea I agree. I've been playing and so far its been great, I hate review bombers who just join the band wagon. A lot of people are under the impression that the mtx items arent attainable without money (i see why, monster hunter does this all the time) but if they'd just play it theyd see its actually pretty good.
The micro transactions are stupid but I just jumped in without looking up anything and had a BLAST for 4 hours till I needed to sleep. It’s great fun I had no idea about the micro transactions at all
People are just jumping the hate wagon as usual. The real problem is performance.
I started as mage bc I just had to see the magic. I went and got that archstaff and the greatsword. Gotta say, that dungeon you find them in is better than any dungeon in D4, Souls games or any rpg. Just the dungeon alone…
Yeah I think the level design is really good, a lot of verticality and varied terrain, I love the forest areas in the mountains, it’s like treasure hunting and butchering local wild life while hiking and enjoying a great view, and it all looks very LOTR inspired to boot!

@bradkirchhoff5703 oh man ,I can't get it until the 26th at midnight but I can't wait.
I don't think the door glitch works because you don't need to press any buttons to open the doors so they're not technically "solid" like in the first game, even the locked doors kind of interact and move when your character touches them, but would be funny if it's still there lol

To be fair, these micro transactions are similar to the ones in Monster Hunter World and Devil May Cry 5. They still suck, but they’re not unusual for Capcom and they’re mostly unnecessary.
However, paying to re-edit your character is made worse by the fact you only have ONE character slot and that it’s made very difficult to start a new game again. Capcom over estimated themselves with Dragon’s Dogma unfortunately.
Edit: actually, you can re edit your character with in game currency by visiting a certain place in game. So, I guess you can completely ignore the dlc after all.
Maybe the reaction wouldn’t have been so negative if the performance wasn’t so poor at launch. And the obstacles to start a new character easily.
Honestly idc about microtransaction as long as they doesnt limit anything or gives advantage in game
you can get the character customization item with in game currency, its not like monster hunter where you can only buy it with real money
Everything is acquired in game, the only problem being the new save fiasco

But this is the thing, character editing is free in the game, but internet is the kingdom of ignorance and most people don't search if something is real before echoing bs.
About the one save file, unfortunately Capcom didn't learn. The first game has the same frikin limitation.
I just got this game and like, it's 65-70% CPU / 65% Ram / 70% GPU and this is while in that "main town" my frames hit like 20-40 there. Big oof.

When people are defending useless micro transactions, it’s no wonder why we are constantly getting shitty games and getting companies making a bunch of live service micro transaction games.
That doesn't even make sense. These micro transactions are things you can always do in game without paying. You don't need them at all. This game isn't live service. Capcom has been doing this for so long and you're only noticing now because people are bringing attention to it. You don't need them like you never need them in the games they make. Ignore them. 🤦🏾♂️
@@Theresnotenoughlet him be, him and everyone else will be crying about this for about week then find something else to rage about. Yeah the mtx suck but what's done is done. They can either play or not.
@@Theresnotenough If we don't need them, they shouldn't be there.
If they are there, it means that the game is designed around it to an extent.
FFS you pay full price for a game, you launch the game, and the fking game have the balls to ask you more money for basic quality of life before you even play it.
@Palindrome3945 your entire statement is false. They have these exact same micro transactions in Devil May Cry. You have never needed them at all. "To an extent" no. You don't need them at all. You don't even have to look at them. Play the damn game. The micro transactions are the most unnecessary things there. It doesn't affect you whether you buy them or not. You're complaining about nothing. 🤦🏾♂️
@Palindrome3945 saying since we don't need them means nothing btw. You don't need 3 companions, but you can get them. You don't need to climb on monsters, but you can if you want to. You don't need a shortcut in the game, but you can take it if you want to. Just stop complaining about it. It doesn't affect you one bit and it never in the past Capcom games.
Why is this video so short?
Hey Asmond, been loving your content since I found this channel a year ago!
Asmondgold plays Asmondgold in this cult classic Dragons Dogma 2
The character is so accurate he can create its own youtube channel and people will mistake him as the real Asmongold
people complain about the weirdest shit someone said "wow this game has no color" well its a medieval fantasy game me personally i cant recall a single knight walking around in colorful ass armor
Well why not ? They did have colorful clothes and battle gear back then.
I like the color tone thought, but it could be more colorful and keep the "serious realistic" Aesthetic.
The landscapes are fantastic
Medieval clothes in general where a lot more colorful than today.
Yeah, people should really wait 2 years or so. There will probably be an edition with infinite versions of the MTX already included like the first game
The game already has the MTX items in it already. The MTX is just a shortcut for lazy or dumb gamers
@@caliscearleon9540imagine defending MTX in a 70$ game
I mean… if you buy the mtx that’s on you for being stupid lol, it’s identical to the first game where you unlock everything with a bit of gameplay. Like most mtx stuff from Capcom.
Remember when Red Orbs kept you from enjoying DMCV? Or you gave up on Resident Evil 4 because you could upgrade your gun by buying tickets? Or monster hunter became unplayable when they added new emotes? None of those things make a difference if you get them or not. Just ignore them. It’s Capcom, they’ve always done this and it’s never been bad.
I am 1000% fine with Capcom doing this. You want an actual shitty example look at Total War: Warhammer games. Start with like 4 factions available out of like 30 and each new one costs $10-20 depending. They’re all already in game and enemies can use them, but if you want to use them you need to pay. THAT is a shitty practice. Or if Capcom releases a street fighter and you only get half the roster and need to pay for the rest, that would be bad.
Imo if it GENUINELY doesn’t affect gameplay or wall you from certain things already in game then mtx are fine.
Every major Capcom game in like the last 15 years had stuff like this, even Dragons Dogma 1 and it didn’t make a lick of difference.
I think it’s stupid but… probably fulfilling a shareholder requirement and doing so in the least intrusive way possible. They aren’t locking like races or classes behind a paywall, purely optional stuff you unlock anyway.
@@bigpuppyshoes5033take it up with Capcom then. They've literally been doing this stuff for all their games for well over a decade. Nobody had a problem with it in DMC 4/5 and resident evil. Monster hunter world has a paid character edit voucher which is the ONLY way to change appearance, but suddenly it's just now a problem with dd2 because everyone is lying about not being able to get ALL of the mtx in game for free(except for maybe the port crystal, but you're already able to get like 10 of em in game, 1 extra really isn't going to make a difference).
This game specifically is basically being targeted by a smear campaign and everyone is just eating it up because they haven't had anything to bitch about for a week.
@@wr5488 they designed the game in a way that you have to go new game+ to even get a proper amount of upgrades in yojr first plathrough in DMC 5. This is a statement from my perspectuve as a casual DMC player and compared with a DMC fanatic (a friend of mine) who completed the game 5 times. So yes the MTX is influencing the gameplay an design. Even over hLf of the reviews of DMC still mention that it takes way longer to unlock simple moves.
Now lets focus on DD1. All the content was included (with a bunch of rift crystals) for the PC port. The infinite ferrystone was locked behind pre-purchase before it was included in the PC port. This meant infinite travel for pre purchase players. This is a change in gameplay. A huge one. Undeniable.
Now with DD2 rift crystals the hardest to get currency can be bought en masse. This is also a huge game changer. And that we are able to earn them doesn't make a difference as the game will be designed around the MTX amount. And the MTX amount of crystals you can buy are ridicilously high, which means the gameplay will be influenced by it. Meanwhile you get embarassingly low amounts of them. Also the deluxe edition of the game literally gives you rift crystals too. And 1500 is also a ridicilously high amount. Meaning that there is a gameplay mechanic requiring these amounts. But again, you collect them slowly and won't even probably reach that amount in a single playthrough as a casual player. This was massive problem in the first game too so there is no denial to this. The community alread has spoken. Also look at the reviews of the game. It's below 40% positive rating. I don't think that what you believe is anything worth in capcoms eyes.
They deman 70 bucks, lie to the customers (the beta test being stable, DRM free and not including MTX, which got reviewed and then the release version had all three issues at once) and still get away with it. I agree that MTX only is not as bad and people would still recommend tbe game but in combination with all that's curretly going on? Well, no need to discuss one issue seperately if they won't even fix the others for the next 2 years.
I don't get why people have issues with microtransactions in single-player games. It's optional. MTs in multi-player games can be PtW and that's junk. But in solo play?? Who cares!?! You do you! Make it easier, make it harder, fast travel, or don't! I am cheap and don't buy stuff. Hasn't made me enjoy a game any less. I may have to grind a bit more. But if the MTs weren't there, I'd be doing the same thing anyways!!
Don't explain yourself to these people. Keep enjoying DD !
If you have mtx you scale the progression and systems accordingly. No mtx in single player games. Stop normalizing it.
also everything can be bought with in game currency... no idea why they are crying.
Doesn’t it cost $2 to even make another character tho I mean that’s pretty low
