    The comments on this video are expressing justified concern about a lot of things in this game, but also a lot of unfair negativity aimed at me specifically. I can only speak from my personal experience with DD2, so here we go.
    I'm being called a paid shill more than ever. For full transparency, I can remove the video right now with no problem cuz I'm not being paid to talk about the game, there is no contractual obligation. I got to make an official pawn character for the game, I didn't get paid for this at all, no one who was invited to make official pawns got paid. I didn't know about microtransactions because there weren't any in the preview period, on any store fronts, or even in the game itself, there is literally no in-game vendor or any real world cash items. Finally, I have a super computer so I experienced minimal at most frame drops in cities.
    I didn't make this video to trick you into buying a game. I mostly make videos about games I love, I have finished the game at 70 hours (true ending and all) and still think it's an amazing action RPG. I don't know what else to say about this kind of thing anymore. It's left me very cynical about even making videos. Maybe I should stick to covering older games, because even when I feel like I'm doing something right something always goes wrong. I'm sorry if you felt tricked by my praise for the game, it wasn't my intention. You don't have to buy it, you never have to play it. If you feel this strongly about its issues, take it up with capcom and don't buy it. We as UA-camrs/Streamers can't do much for Capcom's decision making process about microtransactions but we can talk about the performance which we are doing, we are mentioning this stuff. But please be patient with those of us who've only experienced the game in its best possible way.

      We could all do with some positivity and it’s just nice to enjoy a game for the sake of enjoying it, not a lot of games are as enjoyable now as they used to be. If you listened to all the complaints you’d never enjoy a game ever again because you’d be sucked into the perpetual hatred brigade.
      Oh no, Capcom snuck some sucky business decisions into the game after you reviewed it, just wait until it’s Performance-patched up with all DLC included for half the price later on in the year.
      Keep making reviews on games you enjoy BEFORE you read other people’s opinions because they will find *ANYTHING* to complain about. Don’t even bother reading reviews before playing because it’ll ruin your enjoyment before you start. You start to believe that, if others say the game sucks, then it must really suck.
      Enjoy things for what they are and validly criticise things if they happen to really bug you. Some people aren’t happy unless they’re ruining someone else’s day so you’ll never win with them. They’re not arguing in good faith, they’re just trying to upset you for the fun of it.

    Looks great. And for those who are criticising this review for not talking about Microtransactions, I do believe they had that system entirely removed during the game - so the reviewers, all of them apparently, did not know Microtransactions were going to be present in the final product. I believe this, because NO pre-review talked about it - and even when members of the public had street-date broken early copies, no one mentioned it.
    It’s almost certainly something Capcom knew would be poorly received and so they waited until release before activating this system. If this is the case, I do not blame the early reviewers for not telling us about microtransactions - because they did not know themselves. You may think that Capcom bribed them - I don’t think all of them would have accepted, and I don’t think all of them would have done that, because of the cost of their reputation.
    Rock-Paper-Shotgun, a very pro-consumer, very honest site, also did not mention micro-transactions. RPS is rock solid in terms of its honesty - it didn’t talk about microtransactions, because it didn’t know about them.
    SphereHunter didn’t mention the microtransactions, likely for the same reason. I suppose I could be wrong and ALL reviewers, professional and amateur alike, somehow all colluded with each other to not talk about microtransactions, but I find that unlikely. At least one would have, if only for the fame of getting the scoop of the month.

      Ditto! Haven't played since the PS3 (never fully tried the Dark Arisen content) and frankly talk of the 2 made me want to give it another try! Lucky for my Switch, they had a sale a few days ago that dropped the game to 4.99 so I bought it, playing it! And I'm loving the game again! I guess starting with the vanilla version and being tired out by the time the Dark Arisen stuff came in and made corrections made me not want to try it again, but now decades older, wiser and a STRONGER system (as in faster loading with my Switch OLED) I'm just retrying and Vocations I dismissed like Mystic Knight and Ranger are growing on me, along with loving all the lines I missed that still repeat in my head ("They're Masterworks all, you can't go wrong!" for example LOL) I'm also wiser to the "cut off points" and have experienced OTHER combinations systems that I can better utilize my items and such and work with the pawns more! Loving every fight I come across. And crossing hands from other reviews of early copies that it gives me an experience similar yet DIFFERENT then Tears of the Kingdom! That Zelda is different then DD which is more Monster Hunter meets Dark Souls (not that MH isn't "DS" in it's own ways, just in atmosphere! I get DD: DA was STEEP in "Hey remember BERSERK" along with the ENTIRE Soulsbourne series of games! But I think that charm is WHY I liked Dragons' Dogma!) but I think the larger "Tears of the Kingdom/Breath of the Wild" LIKE world does good for Dragon's Dogma! (Just hope travel is less ANNOYING then it is in Dragon's Dogma! I swear I love exploring, but moving around normally is GOD awful annoying, even before you feel up the map! Should have had major points in DD1 have portal points and just let us use the Portal Crystal as a limited placeable teleporter! With how Tears of the Kingdom did this! Hope they took THAT into account along with LIMITING the amount of items needed for combinations and such so you're not WEIGHTING yourself down with trash and crap that ends up useless as you wonder "what the fuck this does!" (I do love DISCOVERY, but SOME hand holding can be nice as in "give me a manual or something" if you're not going to spoil!)
      But I have confidence in the team that they took lessons from other games AND past mistakes in Dragon's Dogma (that Dark Arisen was meant to remedy but still some flaws were still there even if they were MINOR instead of annoyingly big) to make a damn good experience (Especially what I loved about DD: DA is that EVERY choice is viable, like choosing to go it alone, go with a party of pawns, or just your own pawn and any combination of vocations or the vocations themselves are viable so you never feel you HAVE to reset the game to make a vocation good! You're choices effect if it's good from when you get in it or you have to work abit to make it good cause you made an OOPS early on) Plus hoping they EXPAND on the story established! We know multiverse will be involved with how the story of the first game was even if it's "a different world" per say! (Plus happy elves are here, felt weird making an ELF character in DD1 when no elf exist in that game and no indication other races sans the monsters existed! Now let Dwarves be a race in this and we can justify Dwarf character's! I'll be making my first character in DD2 the new Beastren race)

    Other than some technical issues...
    The game still has some of the same issues as the first game did 12 years ago.
    Repetitive dialogue with your pawns, though not as much but still a lot.
    No swimming and no mounts.
    You can end up getting high affinity with a character that you would otherwise have no romantic interest in, but the game assumes you do, so you might even end up getting a kid like Trysha just because you helped her with the mage quest to get the master skills. Which is pretty messed up.
    There is not enough interactions with your pawns, any small talk you can have with them are just pieces of dialogue they usually say anyway while you're roaming around the map.
    You can get away with murder pretty easily by just picking people up and tossing them from a high height.
    You still can loot items, valuables, and even food and money from peoples homes, and it won't count as theft because the game still has no bounty system.
    In the case of Trysha i couldn't complete the mage master quest, she kept telling me she is studying, and the quest log told me to visit her in a few days, but it had been weeks.
    Basically the game doesn't tell you that her grandma needs to be alive in order for you to complete the quest, and Trysha herself doesn't react to her being dead.
    The list goes on and on. But you get the point it's ridiculous.
    For some reasons some things have become worse here.
    Other than the now reduced 4 weapon skills only, there is also the missing jump up while clinging to an enemy, which really helped scale them a bit faster, at the cost of more stamina.
    The Strider and Assassin class are gone, and they didn't bother for some reason putting in something as basic as a dodge roll mechanic.
    The double jump is gone too, and the closest thing to it is the Concussive Leap, but that is weapon skill so just to jump higher will cost you a weapon skill slot.
    In the first game sometimes you could sit in a camp and chat with your pawn and tell them to be more reticent, and/or more offensive or defensive etc.
    Because even though the now personality choices affects some of that, they all still don't know when to shut the f*** up.
    Anyone who has played this game for more than 50 hours will tell you.
    This is a fun game, great in many ways, but outdated in so many other ways. It should not be acceptable for a game to have so many problems that the first one had, and even make some things worse. This game is far from "Amazing". It's great, it's fun, graphically looks impressive. But Skyrim even without mods has better attention to detail than this.
    Example:
    A kid loses his parents? He is gonna become an orphan and the dialogue changes in Skyrim, he gets sent to an orphanage. In Dragons Dogma 2? No dialogue changes, nothing.
    And there are many examples like this throughout the game. It really takes you out of the experience and constantly reminds you that this is just a game.
    The game is still worth getting. But i'd say wait when it's 50% off.

    As a DD1 fan I have alot of gripes with this game. It's way too short and way too small. In vernwurth it was fine things were going at a good pace. The moment you get to the second area the game just throws away previous characters and stories and just rushes you to the end. They showed off everything in trailers, the colossus is the second last boss and they showed everything about that boss. They left no secrets to discover. It just feels like the devs just wanted to be done with this project they just didn't want to develop it anymore they just wanted to be done

    This may not be a big deal for some, but my biggest issue with this game is that it does not have an option to sell items to any vendor from your storage, you or your pawns must be carrying them in your inventory. I'm not sure but I think this applies to the upgrade materials as well if you want to Enhance your weapons/armor.
    This feature was in original DD and made inventory management very fun.

    • @jase276

    The outrage about the technical issues are right, and I think with patches it will be solved in the future.
    The microtransaction outrage instead is absolutely stupid for many reasons:
    - apart of the deluxe edition objects (which are made avaiable for those with the standard edition who may want them) EVERY other thing can be found playing (by exploring, slaying monsters, buying with ingame currency or forging at the right npc) and relatively easy nontheless.
    - the microtransaction are really trivial and don’t introduce any game-changing-payperwin mechanic like in other games (expecially multiplayer ones)
    There are people who weren’t even aware about them, cause if you don’t search for them specifically you’ll never know.
    - Capcom did the same with all their games in the past and no one batted an eye (cause no one wanted to pay for freakin orbs in dmc, everyone just played)
    - Capcom did not introduced mtx after the release but they were already there in the press kit given to the journalists
    I agree that microtransaction are the bane of the industry and sucks a lot, but there are A LOT of games where they are quasi-mandatory.
    At least here you can EASILY ignore them and freakin’ play without ANY consequence.
    God, the drama for the techincal issue is justified but this is exaggerated.
