https://youtu.be/jU-vkDLoGwQ?si=tEpio9trmZ9zXR-M IGN’s review is more mixed. They like the game, but note that pawns continue to die in frustrating ways, the camera often fights against you (especially when climbing), and notes that performance can chug as multiple enemies pile into a combat. Review is for the PS5 version.

So there's no difficulty settings in DD2, right? Something about adaptive difficulty?

Is it confirmed that there's no permanent stat growth depending on which vocations you level in this time? I recall reading something about that but I'm not sure. If stats just switch as you switch vocations that'd be fantastic.

Jack Trades posted:Oh oops, mixed up the posts. Ah good to know. I'm more curious for my mother's sake. My mother (who is now in her early 60s) was a big huge goddamn fan of Dragon's Dogma 1. I think she played in like 2-3 times total. The thing is - she is absolutely dogshit at video games. Despite playing very serious games (Dragon's Dogma, Witcher 3, God of War, etc) she often struggles even when games are on "Easy" difficulty. So she's excited but incredibly nervous about DD2. As for me, I played only a few hours of DD1 one evening a few years after it came out, but never went back to it because I ended up distracted by other things. So for all intents and purposes, I'm going into this game completely fresh.

Hmm... I have been playing Dragon's Dogma 1 on a reasonably nice laptop, and I preordered the special edition of DD2 on Steam in the hopes of doing the same thing, but these tech issues are concerning. On the other hand, RPGSite just posted an article specifically about tech specs and performance alongside their DD2 review: https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/15623-dragons-dogma-2-an-amazing-game-but-you-wont-be-running-it-on-steam-deckquote:As for general PC performance - when I played the game, I spent most of my time on my desktop with an RTX 4090, 64GB of RAM, and a Ryzen 7 7700x. At max settings, 4K and DLSS set to quality I generally had anywhere between 80 to 100FPS outside of towns, with towns and cities hitting a CPU bottleneck around 60~ FPS, with Vernworth in particular having regular dips to 50~ FPS. On my laptop with a Ryzen 7 5980HX, 32GB of RAM and an RX 6800M - the game generally ran at 30~40 FPS at 1440p, high settings. My laptop closely matches up with the recommended requirements, which state that the game should be playable at 30 FPS, high settings, at 2160i; so we can confirm that Capcom's performance estimates are, if nothing else, reasonably accurate.

All these reviews are making me feel like it’s captured the exact same jankiness of the original PS3 release, even the performance. This is the best news possible for me specifically.

I recall a MHW performance mod whose author claimed the game was doing insane things like running over 100 threads at once. be curious to see if anyone cracks this game open and finds what’s going on with the optimization.

If the game really is CPU limited in cities then it's almost certainly NPC pathfinding.

I barely scrape those minimum requirements (i9-9900, RTX 2070) and boy am I sweatin’. Guess I’ll see how it goes come tomorrow.

Jack Trades posted:OH MY loving GOD! Not only fist bump, but high five, medium five, low five and sometimes even do that awkward thing where one person goes to fist bump and the other wants to slap palms, so the palm slapper just kinda holds the fist for a bit. Generally? If someone liked Dragon's Dogma 1, they'll absolutely love this. If they don't know that they love Dragon's Dogma 1, there's a chance they'll not love this, because holy poo poo the designers made some dragons dogma rear end design decisions here. E: I was incorrect about this -- the stuff that's lost on insta-dead pawns gets dumped into your inn storage. I don't want to put anyone off, because Dragon's Dogma is absolutely one of my favourite games of all time, and this is nailing all the same highs and then some. Just be aware that it's intentionally an old school game in many ways that may seem a bit weird by today's standards, and that it's intentionally janky in some ways, and unintentionally janky in some others. But that's all part of the charm. Can't say anything about game length or the overall plot because I only got the game a few days ago and I've been just adventuring around the world all the time, I stopped doing main scenario quests the second I could. Performance for me has been all over the place. 5600X and 3080, the capital is a slide show, and the game sometimes chugs heavily even out in the wild with occasional sub 30 FPS. This is with DLSS set to "Balanced". And the weird thing is, according to Shadowplay, neither my CPU or GPU are maxed out, so there's something loving weird going on with this thing.

Uh Are we sure its gone forever? In the first game it got dumped back into your inventory when that happened. Did they really get that much more brutal in 2?

Zore posted:Uh At least for me they are gone. It's only happened to me once, so I guess it's possible I've run into a bug or they've been dumped in some non-inn storage bin somewhere, but some stuff I very much would have liked to keep is now g-o-n-e. E: Actually I'm gonna double check this. The game says when a pawn becomes forfeit, all the poo poo they're carrying gets sent to storage. E2: OK, the stuff I thought was perma-lost is in my inn storage, editing original message. Phew. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Mar 20, 2024 |

Ok guys i hope i’m not being a nuisance but it’s better to be safe than sorry,i was planning on getting a new computer just for DD2 (and of course other games but really DD2) And i don’t want to spend a fortune if i can’t even play it so with that said,would this computer be up to scratch? https://amzn.eu/d/bhIGcHz I’m not looking for max settings and 4K poo poo just a steady framerate and medium settings (full screen prefferably).

The brute forcing with top end cpus seems to only go so far, looks like every setup bends the knee to Vernworth. It's just a question of if you're hitting the 20s or 30s

DD2 is primarily CPU bound. They're there but won't get you high frame rates in cities, that's just not happening.

I watched a preview where the reviewer said he spent 40 minutes watching an NPC sing in a town for a side quest, and then skipped a cart and it took over an hour to walk where he was going. He was very positive on the experience. On the one hand I want to try DD2, on the other hand i just don’t know, man. That’s….a lot.
