I swear YouTubers were letting Dragonsplague get out of hand just to make a "Dragonsplague Wreaked My Game!" Video. You have to flat out ignore the signs for it to become a real issue.
Still exploring every inch of DD2. I honestly feel like this game doesn't even need a story. I can play for hours while only interacting with merchants/vocations NPC's.
I think the microtransactions story is pretty overblown after seeing what they actually are. I'm not giving them a pass, but I'm not bothered by them.
I haven't had one pop up saying "Check out the store!" like most games do. It would be great if they weren't included at all, but I have zero desire to purchase any of them.
The performance on the other hand is obviously a problem. It's a shame because it's the only thing really holding it back. I'm going to put a ridiculous amount of hours into regardless.
I'm either playing the game or wishing I was playing the game lol.
@BIG3 The game doesn't hold your hand at all. You just have to figure it out. There are so many things you can do that the game never tells you. The NPC's can be very vague when giving you a quest.
Plus I hope you like walking. Because you are going to be doing a heck of a lot of it.

Re: Hands On: Fallout 4 Next-Gen Runs Great on PS5, But Some Old Problems Persist
Load times are an absolute game changer. I don't get mad when I accidentally click on a exit door now lol.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Stellar Blade?
I got that Fallout bug. I might down the road.
Re: Video: Does Fallout 4 Look Better on PS5?
I hate how obsessed people are over graphics. I'll take 60 FPS and greatly improved load times any day of the week.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Fallout 4's Next-Gen Version?
Starting it in a few hours. Looking forward to it. I haven't played it since it first came out in 2015.

Downloading now.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch 1.10 Out Now on PS5, Adjusts Dragonsplague, Pawns, and More
I got the Platinum and going to put it down for a while. A Bitterblack Isle type expansion would bring me back real fast.
Re: Project Awakening Still Exists, Six Years After Its Stunning PS4 Reveal
I'm getting bad frame rate vibes.

Re: Fallout Games Attract 5 Million Users in One Day Due to Popularity Surge
I'm very much looking forward to the PS5 version of Fallout 4. I'm going to be super unoriginal and make Lucy "Goosey" MacLean.
Re: Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide (PS5) - A Fantastic Sendoff for Square's Action RPG
Boss fight the game.
I mean that as a compliment.
Re: Future Dragon's Dogma 2 Update Will Nerf Its Coolest Mechanic
No longer leaving your Pawns hanging on a high five is the biggest fix.

"Okey Dokey".
(Forced to say more or can't post.)
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide?
Going to check out the free Dead Island 2 DLC first because free. I'm still looking forward to this though.
Re: Fallout 4 Sales Up 7,500% in Europe as Bethesda Series Dominates
@BugCatcherGarl Lucy was great. I'm not sure what you are going on about? The show didn't even just focus on her either.
Re: Fallout 4 Sales Up 7,500% in Europe as Bethesda Series Dominates
I definitely have the itch to jump back in after watching. I will be all over the PS5 version of 4.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Returns to Top 10 in Quiet Week for New PS5, PS4 Releases
Hogwarts Legacy was such a win. It's a shame they are probably going to ruining the next one with live service BS.
Re: New PS5 Pro Leak Points to Significant Graphics Push from Sony
Performance Performance Performance.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Patch 1.31 Brings Big Damage Buffs for Clive, Better Side Quests, and Much More
This is really good timing for me. I'm just trophy chasing in DD2 at this point.
Re: Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide DLC Is Designed to Be More Challenging
Going to be hard to top the boss from the last DLC. I can't wait.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Successfully Expanded the Series to New, Younger Players, Says Square Enix
"Opening such a dense franchise up to newcomers is never easy"
Especially when the fanbase isn't welcoming to new players. God forbid you didn't get into the series the exact same way.
Re: Feature: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5 Games of 2024 So Far
I feel like most people enjoyed Rebirth, but the people that didn't are just really loud online.
Re: Rockstar's GTA+ Membership Putting Its Price Up
Come on guys. They only made $8.5 billion off of GTA5. How are they supposed to survive?
Re: Stellar Blade's Demo Had Way More Daily Active Players Than Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's
There has been multiple articles on this site that have pushed Stellar Blade while taking a shot at FF or DD2. It's kinda weird.
Re: ÂŁ850 Final Fantasy Music Box Might Be the Most Extravagant Gaming Merch Ever
That beautiful. I'm not buying, but it's beautiful.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Rise of the Ronin Rides Again, Refuses to Leave Top 3
I went with DD2. Zero regrets. I'll just wait for Ghost of Tsushima 2.
Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Out 25th April with New Modes and Content
"Another settlement needs your help".
Re: Video: Our Favourite PS5 Games of 2024 So Far
Rebirth has been my favorite with DD2 a close second.
Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5
I tried it on PC, but wasn't for me.
Re: Diablo 4 Season 4 Could Boast the Game's Biggest Improvements So Far
I still plan on coming back when they add actually new content. I have zero desire to start over again.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Rise of the Ronin Has a Surprisingly Strong Second Week, Dragon's Dogma 2 Drops Off
I just don't know why we put so much stock in Japan sales? They clearly perfer mobile/handheld games.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon's Dogma 2?
It doesn't run at 8K 120 FPS on my $500 console. It's the worst game ever made.
Re: Microtransactions Don't Belong in a Single Player Game, Says The Witcher Dev
CD Projekt RED judging people after Cyberpunk is hilarious.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 522
Still exploring every inch of DD2. I honestly feel like this game doesn't even need a story. I can play for hours while only interacting with merchants/vocations NPC's.
Re: Hands On: Dragon's Dogma 2 Update Improves Frame Rate on PS5 at the Cost of Ray Tracing
Yeah. The photo mode is pretty basic unfortunately.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch 1.050 Adds Graphics Options, Gameplay Improvements on PS5
I would like a option to select multiple things to give to a Pawn at once. You can do something similar when selling.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC? Tell Capcom You Want Another Dark Arisen in New Survey
Bitterblack Isle 2.0 please.
Re: Judge Rules in Sony's Favour in $500m Controller Comms Lawsuit
All the cool things the DuelSense can do differently put more wear and tear on the controller faster.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Discover Working Trebuchets, Secret Areas
Playing as a Thief is basically a cheat code. I absolutely love it.
Re: Mysterious, Viral Dragon's Dogma 2 Mechanic Infecting Player's Pawns
I told my Pawns to wash their hands. We're good.
Re: Capcom Responds to Dragon's Dogma 2 Microtransaction, Performance Backlash
I think the microtransactions story is pretty overblown after seeing what they actually are. I'm not giving them a pass, but I'm not bothered by them.
I haven't had one pop up saying "Check out the store!" like most games do. It would be great if they weren't included at all, but I have zero desire to purchase any of them.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Rise of the Ronin?
Absolutely not. DD2 all day.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dragon's Dogma 2?
@BIG3 The game doesn't hold your hand at all. You just have to figure it out. There are so many things you can do that the game never tells you. The NPC's can be very vague when giving you a quest.
Plus I hope you like walking. Because you are going to be doing a heck of a lot of it.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dragon's Dogma 2?
I think it's pretty great myself. That said I'm sure a lot of people that didn't know what they were getting into are going to hate it lol.
Re: PSN Is Currently Down, Seemingly a Widespread Issue
Another win for the single player games.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's PS5 Graphics Enhanced, Here Are the Patch Notes
I'm planning on doing another playthrough after DD2.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
@ShogunRok What level is your Pawn? We are going on an adventure.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
"Outstanding combat"
Never a doubt.
