Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2: Review Thread

Capcom is on a roll, almost every single one of their releases has been unanimously praised.
I’m happy for the fans of the IP, I have a few friends who loved DG1 and were waiting for the sequel. I’m also a bit curious about the claims that they improved on the storyline, as it was by far my biggest gripe with the first entry, so much that I never bothered to finish it.
Honestly they’ve been on a steady decline in my eyes at least. With each and every new entry they’re becoming more and more like the rest of the Triple-A studios.
Sure many of their games are still decent fun if you can ignore:
Personally I just can’t as mere existence of these thigns ruins my trust towards these developers/publishers.
Can’t you all complain about games that are out having issues? Like Helldivers 2 and how the lightning gun was shipped in a sorry state and how Arrowhead lied about the flying bugs?
(I kid, this game sounds like a mess and my opinion of Capcom was already pretty bad)

I actually loved parts of the story from 1. Granted, a lot of it was pointless, shallow, needed expansion, better written characters, so on and so forth. But every scene with the dragon was enthralling. A lot of what happened after you beat it was interesting. And idk how to do spoilers here so I’ll be vague, but what happens at the final boss on a second playthrough blew my mind. I had no clue, and it had been hundreds of hours since, so my jaw literally dropped.

The first game had a lot of good ideas for a story and messed up the execution of pretty much all of them but the dragon itself.

Too true.
