- Well after a 12 year wait, Dragon's Dogma 2 finally arrived. I don't think anything could have topped my hype of waiting for this to finally come out.
After putting in around 150 hours into a couple playthroughs, there's some really mixed feelings about this game. Also, there's a few things I'm going to say about the microtransactions "controversy" that aren't going to be popular with a lot of people. But that's never stopped me from speaking my mind before, welcome to America.
UPDATE I completely forgot when talking about performance that I turned off ray tracing right when I started. This is likely very important for smooth gameplay on console.

What did you end up thinking about Dragon's Dogma 2? Was it worth the 12 year wait?
I am loving it the first one is a game on paper that was perfect for me, but the game always felt to disconnected in feedback for me. 2 feels more refined in that department and am finally able to enjoy it.
My favorite part was that I legit missed some big things my first playthrough, and it was around 100 hrs. I had to look up where Medusa was on NG+ because I had walked right by it
I like your video and voice so you got a new subscriber! Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks! I appreciate it. Have come a long way from the first videos, and still working on making them better.
@@JiggleBellyGaming I listened to your Banishers one and also quite liked it. Keep up the good work and I hope this hobby stays satisfying for you!
Eh to think that reddit...or any social media platform is any different than youtube is wild to me. Tho I can guess why you didnt include it.
I appreciate your video and enjoyed it tho!
Mainly because I can control the level of toxicity of the comments here, that's the main difference. Normal discourse gets buried over there.
@JiggleBellyGaming True, but you can not control all the other channel's comments....which I mean is literally 99.99999% of the content. So you only approve of media you get to have control over?
Lol, I'm mostly messing with you. Just enjoy playing devil's advocate.
I did enjoy the vid. It feels honest; something that has become rare these days when it comes to the internet. Got my sub.
Still tho...your defense of mtx is unfortunate. People like you will normalize worse and worse mtx interactions...because I mean the devs will always need to eat right? They can't just rely on a good game. So it will only get more intrusive as the bar for an average "good game" gets lower and lower. Tho like me, you'll most likely be dead by the time games become completely monetized.
I played the first game and have 250 hours in the second. Both games have bugs, but if bugs were deal breakers, then Skyrim wouldn't be universally considered a top 10 all-time game. Dragon's Dogma 2 somewhat punishes players for failing to explore but allowing them to miss quests. It also makes some quests harder to complete if you're overpowered. For example there's a quest that revolves around poison that you stumble into by exploring a house that's just outside Bakbhatal. If you're too strong or your party has a mage that can heal debilitations, you will fail this quest. That quest encapsulates what Dogma 2 is about. Which is exploration and adapting your party and skills according to quests.
Yep, I had a mage in my party on that quest not even thinking about it. I got quite a bit out of my 2nd playthrough. But I think at this point I'm probably gonna wait for DLC to hop back in like I did with DD1
2 steps forward 1 step back exactly, but i like the game. Haven't been hook to a game so hard since rdr2 according to my game time record, gonna be my goty if not KCD2. Now im in fear that we may never see 3 because of mobs and the shitshow, so imma enjoy it while i can.
I'm looking forward to KCD2, but I don't think it will beat DD2 for me. I think we'll still see a third, it's sold really well. Hope it's not another 12 years though. I'm just hoping we get something like dark arisen that adds some stuff like hard mode and speedrun on top of some new enemies. Something like that will keep me playing for a few years
@@JiggleBellyGaming Yeah, by my personal goty i'm not saying kcd beat dd2, it's just for me kcd also has a special place in my heart, just like dd2,or ddda. Though loveing it like few others, it's a 7or 8 of out 10, and i don't think dd2 was finished and developers kinda tricked us? Huge, huge potential wasted...and like you said, there's hope that dlc can address some of it.
Yeah I kind of felt like it wasn't completely finished too. Too many things just missing that didn't make much sense.
@@patricka5193 They apparently had a smaller development team for this game vs their other games. I think most of their development is currently going towards Monster Hunter: Wilds and that's the reason the development team for DD2 was smaller.
Bought the game on steam and it rans like crap. Bought it for ps5, rans even worse...
It was pretty stable on ps5 for me. Except when I tried the capped option. That ran horrible, and I went right back to uncapped.
