I still absolutely love my time playing Dragon’s Dogma 2. This is a great RPG that creates moments of urgency, if you can get past the weird microtransactions on day one (which weren’t even particularly good). It’s a chaotic situation where a pawn accidentally blows up a vehicle because you equipped it with a certain spell before a goblin ambush.
However, there is one problem that cannot be excused. It’s a puzzling performance problem in town. The game doesn’t look that terrible, but why do my framerates of brawling with 10 goblins in a crowded forest and 10 peasants leisurely strolling around with particle effects flying left and right send my framerate? I couldn’t understand why. Salty depth.
