As a huge fan of the first Dragon’s Dogma I am very much disappointed with the game as it was released today. Honestly after playing for about 2-3 hours today on PS5, I have to say the game is very much not ready for release.

• Terrible performance with an unlocked frame-rate that’s between 20 - 35 FPS (give me a smooth 30 FPS and never use a fucking unlocked frame-rate on console. WHO DOES THAT? If you can’t get a smooth 60 don’t make me play an uneven mess such as this)
• Controlling the character feels like moving through molasses
• Annoying motion blur that cannot be disabled
• bad dialog animations and lip sync
• micro-transactions in a full price game

It’s clear that the game was rushed and needed at least a couple more months in development. I am sure they will fix the most egregious problems but as it stands right now I would not buy the game. Shame fucking Sony won’t let you refund a game if you downloaded it, which is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
