Fell off this one before I could get to the end. Really wanna come back to this when they fix the performance issues and maybe drop the equivalent Dark Arisen type expansion.
Really mixed on this. The original DD was this inspired but jank and unfinished masterpiece. It was this peek into an impossibly ambitious game that broke so many traditional rules of triple-A RPGs at a time when other games were playing it so safe. This one? Well, it's sort of the the exact same janky unfinished game and now it's competing with a gaming landscape that's got a lot more going on.
I'm a little disappointed, I can't lie. The promise of this game was 'Dragon's Dogma but finished' and instead we got 'Dragon's Dogma, but bigger, and still unfinished' and that really sucks. It still takes a lot of really cool interesting swings but they're just not as novel a decade later when now there's so many indie RPGs and even big Fromsoft games doing things just as interesting.
