I expected more Dragon's Dogma, I instead got less somehow. Performance issues are genuinely unbearable, the denuvo included with this game is the worst version possible, and the story is a MASSIVE backwards step from the immense kino dd1 was. The gameplay is all fine, but at that point you genuinely have to ask yourself why you would pick this game up over dd1 in it's current state? The same gameplay, the same structure, but a worse story, worse performance, and overall has less content because DD1 has the DLC included in modern ports. I think a lot of DD1 fans are giving this game a pass because it is a DD game, and that it's "so effing based dude" because it does a lot of things that DD1 does that is really good. But, genuinely sit down and think about it. What in the eff are you doing paying 70 dollars for a broken mess, just to replay DD1 in a lesser form?
