these numbers are at interlaced mode meaning native res will reduce performance further

Capcom looking into PC issues...

Capcom Is 'Aware' of Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rate Issues on PC, Looking Into Fixes - IGN

In a statement to IGN, Capcom acknowledged possible frame rate issues with Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC, saying they may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.

I mean, c'mon, it's not 2059 where CPUs are advanced enough to deal with such a complex NPC systems. JFC, Capcom. There needs to be settings to switch all this shit off, reduce the amount of NPC, etc. etc.

 

[sigmaZ]

Welp... It's settled then...












Preorder canceled.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Well, I guess I won't need to buy this until I finally get around to upgrading my i5-4690k

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Going to wait for patches on PC

Game runs like shit at launch and is getting 9/10s

This shit has to stop. I'm sure it's a great game but just ignoring performance issues and throwing around 9s like candy is why we games keep launching like this.

 

[Karak]

Despite the CPU issues in the cities the game's sense of discovery may be one of the longest I have ever experienced. Right up there with other classics that if I name someone is going to lose their mind over.

One weirdly nice thing is if you are like me and spend a ton of time NOT IN the city, the drops don't come up near as often. I found myself wilderness bound a huge amount of my gameplay time.

 

[SCB3]

Hmm, I'm still not sold on this, I tried the original one late last year and it was interesting but it was also something I felt I could easily drop

Watching a few reviews, it just feels like other games have done this better, for example I think I'd rather do a replay of Elden Ring than play this, which is looking inferior to it tbh

 

[jshackles]

My 3060 isn't even going to run this at 1080p/30fps, is it?

Don't bitch out on us! Tell us these classics, hype it up lol

 

[Mr Moose]

Gonna wait for some high res sceenshots but it looks softer on Series X than PS5 from this video? Is it using VRS?

 

[Kings Field]

The true GOTY has arrived.

 

[Randall365]

Nvidia will fix this with drivers

 

[FoxMcChief]

Not gonna lie. I’m pretty hyped for this game right now.

What CPU do you use?

On the contrary, journos lowering scores because of performance, is piss poor critiquing and glosses over actual art and design. Performance varies on so many different levels and can be patched up easily and/or simply fixed by upgrading your hardware.
Large games will forever launch like this, otherwise they will never come out.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Waiting for the DF video for console perf, since these numbers are from the open world from what I skimmed through the video.

Excited to check your review once lunch time rolls around my dude.

 

[darrylgorn]

Good Great start!

With no fucks given about dismal performance.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

I'll probably wait until the PS5 Pro comes out before I get this so I can play it at 33fps instead of 28fps.

 

[SlimySnake]

Holy shit dude what is this.

Amateur hour.

wait for more benchmarks.

 

[Karak]

What CPU do you use?

I test on up to four. Super low to high. The lowest being the old 8700k and highest being a 13900k if available at the time.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Lots of PC talk for this great console game.

 

[Luipadre]

I thought this game is gonna be much longer. Not saying 25-30 hours is not enough, but expected a much larger game. Maybe those times are rushed playthroughs anyway im gonna wait with this for further patches. Im still deep into FF7

 

[iHaunter]

I'm predicting a solid B+. The clunkiness will turn off some people, mostly if they're used the fluidity of the Souls series. Monster Hunter is also clunky, and I feel got a similar rating for this reason. Overall, will be a great game!

I've stopped even looking at reviews any more. The amount of hyperbole is ridiculous - everything is the best thing ever, or the worst thing... Waste of my time.

"You’ll be doing lots of backtracking and exploring on foot, as there’s very little in the way of convenient fast traveling."

God Im so sick of this shit. What year are we in? This is exactly what turned me off of the first game.

Yeah you need to be in a mindset to 'get' this game.

 

[Mr Moose]

Firefox is using more CPU than this.
He has a magic PC.

 

[Needlecrash]

I'm curious how my 4090 + 7800X3D will fare....

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Double dipped for Capcom.

Remember to vote with your wallet kiddos.

 

[Kings Field]

looks like the game is hitting 40fps a lot more frequently than PS5 in the open world according to that video posted. The game seems to hit 30/31 indoor during that cave battle.

Can’t wait to play. Been waiting a long time for
This one. Hopefully they patch a 1080/60 patch or even a 40fps mode (doubtful)

 

[Clear]

I did warn people. The reason most games aren't designed like Dogma is because its running constantly under worst-case scenarios for load balancing. You need a massive power surplus to work around it.

 

[yamaci17]

The game uses ray-Tracing for global illumination on PC, PS5 and XSX. Xbox Series S does not have ray-tracing. This setting does not affect shadows and reflections.- Ray-tracing cannot be disabled on PS5/XSX.

Told ya

And that makes me happy.

Oh I get it, but that on top of hearing how similar it is to the original just makes me want to avoid purchasing until its cheaper and I have nothing on the plate

 

[Solarstrike]

Denuvo strikes again.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Don't worry, DF dudes will defend garbage performance on PC again. will be fine

It's pathetic, I'm genuinely convinced PC players don't actually play games they just get them for benchmarks to stroke their tiny dick egos that their 5000$ rig can run a game at 400fps but I guess they have to do something with their time in these threads now that most console games come to PC and they don't have to beg for them at every turn like they used to.

Bitching seems to be the PC master race creed

Some guy in here was even complaining that the reviews are unfair to give the game a 9/10 because the game is unplayable and broken...lmao he's probably complaining about real life being a slideshow after doing a 120fps playthrough of the Nvidia benchmark.

Its fucking 30 fps people... we've lived with it for generations, it's not crashing your PC for goodness sake.

 

[TrebleShot]

Wait? runs like shit on PC?
FFS you were supposed to be the chosen ones.

 

[JayK47]

Glad to see such good reviews. Hopefully it is not a Starfield situation. I am sure a few patches and driver updates will improve performance. Standard PC gaming at this point. I just am not ready to pay $70 for a game yet and will wait.

 

[SlimySnake]

I like how the game has a 91 on metacritic and gaf is just talking about PC performance lmao

 

[ssringo]

Early game NG+ footage and some spoilers in menus showing the map and enemies lists.

He's playing on a monster pc and gets 60 to 90fps maxed settings with dlss. Without dlss it was down to 30. Performance on weaker rigs is his only real concern. Otherwise incredibly positive and is his current goty pick.

 

[mejin]

Solid reviews. Needed more dev time. PS5 better console version. Nothing unexpected.

 

[NeverYouMind]

This reminds me of 2014's Dragon Age Inquisition. A touted release that years later nobody cares about.

 

[GymWolf]

PC bros about to learn 30 fps is completely playable too after bitching so much about the unplayable 30fps console versions.You love to see it

Pc bros can turn down settings to reach 60 frames, consoles bros can only play the bullet time version without any option.

Absolutely lovely to see, yes.

There's no shortage of open world games that let you cut out travel using menus. DD does something different and tries to make travel meaningful.

Game ain't for you, go play something else
