Dragon's Dogma 2 Is actually AMAZING

[TheSphereHunter]

The comments on this video are expressing justified concern about a lot of things in this game, but also a lot of unfair negativity aimed at me specifically. I can only speak from my personal experience with DD2, so here we go.

I'm being called a paid shill more than ever. For full transparency, I can remove the video right now with no problem cuz I'm not being paid to talk about the game, there is no contractual obligation. I got to make an official pawn character for the game, I didn't get paid for this at all, no one who was invited to make official pawns got paid. I didn't know about microtransactions because there weren't any in the preview period, on any store fronts, or even in the game itself, there is literally no in-game vendor or any real world cash items. Finally, I have a super computer so I experienced minimal at most frame drops in cities.

I didn't make this video to trick you into buying a game. I mostly make videos about games I love, I have finished the game at 70 hours (true ending and all) and still think it's an amazing action RPG. I don't know what else to say about this kind of thing anymore. It's left me very cynical about even making videos. Maybe I should stick to covering older games, because even when I feel like I'm doing something right something always goes wrong. I'm sorry if you felt tricked by my praise for the game, it wasn't my intention. You don't have to buy it, you never have to play it. If you feel this strongly about its issues, take it up with capcom and don't buy it. We as YouTubers/Streamers can't do much for Capcom's decision making process about microtransactions but we can talk about the performance which we are doing, we are mentioning this stuff. But please be patient with those of us who've only experienced the game in its best possible way.

If I don't hear "Harpys will snatch you and fly" after I'm already airborne, I shall be mightily disappointed.

I really honestly didn't expect this game to get a sequel.
Dreams really do come true

I just did your mission in Cyberpunk and now you dropped new vid. What a fantasy.

I created Niko Bellic from GTA4 in the CC Demo and honestly spent an embarrassing amount of time laughing at the thought of him having three Roman Bellic pawns following him around and just constantly harassing him about going bowling...

I can't wait to play this damn game.

Playing Pillow Talk (Dmc1) in the background was a nice touch, I love that melody.

Aside from how detail rich these videos are, I love your choice of music. When I heard out of phase I thought it started playing at another tab in my browser.

I love your review style so much! Its just you genuinely gushing about the things you enjoy about a game and that is so refreshing

[bravebiird]

My mouth saying words when Suzy Spherehunter uploads: "THEY'RE MASTERWORKS ALL, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG"

I never expected this game to get so much public attention! I fell in love with the first, so it’s amazing to see the second game enter the public spotlight like this! As I’m sure you’re also happy to see.

Love hearing you gush about the games you love. Always such an in-depth look into mechanincs and story.

I didn't know this channel, I came for Dragon's Dogma 2. But let me just say that I could listen to your voice for hours on end. That plus the well written script that almost evokes having a conversation with a friend who loves gaming as much as I do really sweetened the deal and sold me. I'll keep an eye on this channel for sure. Very well done :-)

Looks great. And for those who are criticising this review for not talking about Microtransactions, I do believe they had that system entirely removed during the game - so the reviewers, all of them apparently, did not know Microtransactions were going to be present in the final product. I believe this, because NO pre-review talked about it - and even when members of the public had street-date broken early copies, no one mentioned it.

It’s almost certainly something Capcom knew would be poorly received and so they waited until release before activating this system. If this is the case, I do not blame the early reviewers for not telling us about microtransactions - because they did not know themselves. You may think that Capcom bribed them - I don’t think all of them would have accepted, and I don’t think all of them would have done that, because of the cost of their reputation.

Rock-Paper-Shotgun, a very pro-consumer, very honest site, also did not mention micro-transactions. RPS is rock solid in terms of its honesty - it didn’t talk about microtransactions, because it didn’t know about them.

SphereHunter didn’t mention the microtransactions, likely for the same reason. I suppose I could be wrong and ALL reviewers, professional and amateur alike, somehow all colluded with each other to not talk about microtransactions, but I find that unlikely. At least one would have, if only for the fame of getting the scoop of the month.
