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.
Oh my god, this takes me back. I am completely with you about the 40 vocations thing. The fanbase worshipped the director like he's a genius who just couldn't get the budget to meet his true vision, and would make theories on how the game will have as much content as something like Baldur's Gate 3.
Even though DD2 had the budget for his true vision and turned out to feel just as incomplete as DD1, much of the fanbase are still coping for a DLC to solve the game's issue.
The "Itsuno's Vision" defense! Why no multiplayer? Itsuno's Vision. Why no enemy variety? Itsuno's Vision. Why limited fast travel? Itsuno's Vision.
It was their defense for everything. And, when it didn't deliver on the promises that people made up in their heads, it was CAPCOM, all along, that hamstrung Itsuno.
