Tbh I'm getting flashbacks to pre release dragons dogma 2 . People were quick to point out some issues and were shot down extremely quick such as topics on difficultly or enemy variety.
It would take the game releasing then multiple people slowly to realize the game indeed has those issues. Like people aren't understanding. The game isn't just easy it's very streamlined to the point your essentially speeding through it .
Like look at the feature they've implemented and think for a little bit how that's going to affect the experience combined with the lesser difficulty.
I love Dragons Dogma 2. Flaws and all. But the subs are borderline embarrassing sometimes.
I was in the DD sub before DD2 was announced. It was this cool group that still posted screenshots of one of my favorite games.
Then, the conspiracy theories about how there would be 40 new classes are the colors of the vocation emblems. That was hilarious. Until I realized they were serious. Deadly serious. It was like 2 weeks before launch. I'm like, "Guys, we might only have these 9 vocations shown on the official merchandise." Bam! I'm a doomposter.
All of the prelaunch footage looked bad to me. It looked 30 fps. It looked like there wasn't enough enemy variety. Bam! Doomposter. "You don't have to play it if it's so bad." Then CAPCOM announced the game was "targeting 60fps" and all of the defenders tracked me down like it was some gotcha. Bro, "targeting 60fps" is code for "unstable 60fps." Which I'd be shocked if console ever hit 60fps. I returned it and played it on PC.
It's much better now on PS5 Pro and PC. I'm hoping MH Wilds performs as well or better than DD2 does now. But, if it's as bad as DD2 was at launch, this sub will be nuts. It will be 60% people complaining, 40% people blindly defending the poor performance while complaining about the complaining.

Tbf them showing the colors and various combinations did make it not that big of a leap to assume there would be more classes than there are. Of course that merch was the nail in the coffin.

This is probably the most defensive fanbase I'm a part of. It's up there with Dragons Dogma.
