There’s a substantial amount of hype and people who haven’t played the first game are gonna be in for a rude awakening

It's facts.

The first game didn't exactly set the world on fire. It gained momentum when the PC version dropped in 2016 but it's popularity is due to it being ported multiple times across 10+ years.

Console version was kinda rough at first. I liked it but bounced off of it cause it was just too janky


The “Dark Arisen” re-release made it a proper classic imo.

"In Dragon's Dogma 2, a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate," a Capcom representative told IGN. "We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future."

Although Capcom specifically addresses a fix for frame rate issues on PC, some with early copies here at IGN have experienced frame rate inconsistencies on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S as well. According to IGN performance reviewer Michael Thompson, Dragon's Dogma 2 can be impacted across all formats by CPU and memory bandwidth demands. These can impact consoles and medium to lower-end PCs far more. Areas such as Vernworth are very demanding, even on the highest-end machines and, in particular, the CPU.

During his playthrough, Thompson noted that the Xbox Series S suffered most with memory demands as texture would fail to load and become very low-quality after roughly 10 minutes of open-world exploration. In addition, Thompson lost saves a few times returning to an earlier point in the title and even cause a game reset from the start.

Dragon's Dogma 2 currently has high demands on hardware, with the Steam Deck struggling to run at playable rates and even high-end machines of an RTX4090 paired with an AMD 5800X3D CPU can drop into the 30s whilst in the denser populated towns.

Dragon's Dogma 2's framerate issues were so rough for IGN senior editorial producer Mark Medina that he had switch from playing on PlayStation 5 to PC because he was getting motion sickness.

Never preorder anymore, so I can see what/where the day 1 glitches are, but I’m in :wow: if the frames are as bad as they have said on console, I’ll just wait on them to iron out the inevitable PC shyt :pachaha:
