Taking a peek at the Steam charts quantifies for us just how excited players are for this game. Although the game is three weeks away from release, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already somehow in the top sellers list. As of writing, the game sits at ninth despite not even being released yet.

​

This is certainly a very impressive feat. Sure, there are many popular games that reach this height when they have hit early access and players can try them out for the very first time. However, there aren’t many games that are so anticipated that players plop down their hard-earned cash nearly an entire month in advance.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already outpacing other mega-popular games (that you can actually play right now) including Palworld, Enshrouded, and Call of Duty. As we draw closer to release, its entirely possible Dragon’s Dogma 2 ends up at the top of the Steam top seller list at number one, and doesn’t let go of the throne for quite some time.

I got my preorder in. Not sure what class I will make my pawn.

 

[ssringo]

Had this bad boy pre-ordered in January and yes I'm taking vacation to play it uninterrupted.

 

[Comandr]

Just waiting for my code from fanatical. So ready.

 

[DavidGzz]

Yep, not surprised. Many said that they think it won't sell very much. I countered with the fact that Elden Ring and Monster Hunter fans will buy it. Especially now that the Elden Ring expansion isn't coming until June. That fact will help Dragon's Dogma 2 be even more successful.

It'll be yuge

PC has become a good home for CaPCom

It's a shame they treat the modding community with so much disdain, considering how much success they've enjoyed thanks to PC players.

Do RE Engine games have issues with shader comp stutter? Did RE4?

 

[Freeman76]

Cannot wait for this game, and will be the first current title i've bought on my gaming rig, cant wait to see how it performs

 

[GymWolf]

The elden ring effect.

 

[Lokaum D+]

ditching FF7Re for this, ll play FF later on this year

 

[Buggy Loop]

Traversal stutter only (all versions, consoles & PC)

I would hope they updated traversal loading for an open world
But I have faith it'll be the best version by a long shot, unless we get silly combinations of Denuvo + Capcom's borked DRM duo like what happened with Village, but they fixed that promptly. They ain't no EA/Respawn with Jedi games I'll tell you that.

 

[Games of Today]

This game could be pretty sick.

 

[Svejk]

So fucking ready.

 

[Buggy Loop]

By the way, props to Capcom for making one of the best and most creepy creature in videogames since a long ass time

I can't wait for this

 

[Skifi28]

I hope the demo rumours are true.

 

[phant0m]

ditching FF7Re for this, ll play FF later on this year

Same

 

[Draugoth]

So fucking ready.

avatar checks out

 

[Luipadre]

Im waiting for the demo to decide my platform of choice, but its probably gonna be PC

 

[Hohenheim]

I've never had any stutter in capcom games on PC.

 

[rofif]

Do RE Engine games have issues with shader comp stutter? Did RE4?

No. These games don't stutter on pc.
They tend to have vram issue. RE2,3 had crashing issue due to exceeding vram once RT branch was added. Re4 had the same issue on release.
I am not sure what version I want to get yet but I think PS5 for this on. Dualsense, ps 3d audio is usually good and physical disc. My 3080 should be still fine for dd2 but 10gb vram is annoying

Now give us a demo and a new trailer.

I forgot but also this game is announced with DLSS 3 & Ray tracing. Nvidia sponsored. Not saying it's bulletproof but I'm more optimistic than AMD sponsored..

 

[GymWolf]

Capcom really fucked up if her riddle is not about finding the missing nipples.

 

[Lux R7]

this is gonna be the game of my heart for the second time. Can't wait!

It looks beautiful running at a proper resolution and framerate. Couldn't imagine playing it any other way.

 

[R6Rider]

I just some resolution to the missing (?) vocations.

 

[R6Rider]

It looks beautiful running at a proper resolution and framerate. Couldn't imagine playing it any other way.

This video isn't even a constant 60fps. It's maybe around 45-50.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Man, what a beauty, which brings me to : It's a friggin' shame since this will be heavily borked on consoles due to pixel crawling, jaggies, sub-par IQ and framerate like most next-gen only games so far.
I've been playing Alan wake 2 lately and those beautifully crafted graphics become an eye sore due to that FSR fuxkery where there's pixel crawling ahoy, jaggies everywhere, blurriness etc etc - heck, even Helldivers 2 runs at a sub optimal resolution.
Also,Capcom's own RE4Re was heavily marred IMO due to the also non-optimal IQ.

Maybe these consoles weren't that powerful to begin with, maybe devs have already reached their max potential (?) but that friggin' PS5 Pro can't come soon enough, it's reminding me of the PS360 generation where 99% of games had suboptimal image quality.

Every game I've been playing lately (AW2, Robocop, Helldivers 2, RE4Re) have their own specific problems but bad IQ is the common denominator between them.

THE WIND IS PUSHING ME

 

[Mister Wolf]

This video isn't even a constant 60fps.

Hoping to reach higher heights than 60fps.

 

[R6Rider]

Hoping to reach higher heights than 60fps.

Of course, it's just weird that the video they used is sub 60.

 

[Clintizzle]

I didn't play the first one and will jump straight to this one. Should I use lube or nah?

With the right pawns, you won't need to.

Having access to the Frame Generation is great. Get your game running at 60 - 70fps. Turn on the Frame Gen and have smooth motion like its running at 120fps with input lag like its 60fps.

 

[Tomi]

Cant w8 to see mods for this game

 

[AJUMP23]

The game has a lot of hype. I hope it pays off.

my RTX 2060 isnt ready for this, hopefully i can run this at 1440p@60fps DLSS Max settings w/o RT

@Clintizzle I didn't play the first one and will jump straight to this one. Should I use lube or nah?

The thing with DD1 is that exploration is really similar to DS1, there is no indication of enemies lvls or whatsoever, u simple do exploration freely and if u get to the wrong place and u are done, for exemple there is a sidequest that u get in the first hour of the game, that if u try to do it right away u are fucked.

 

[Mister Wolf]

my RTX 2060 isnt ready for this, hopefully i can runt thins at 1440p@60fps DLSS Max settings w/o RT

I would even look for mods to turn the Nvidia Frame Gen into AMD's Frame Gen so you can use it.

 

[SaintALia]

My most anticipated game of the year. Kinda sucks that I bought the first game on GoG which has some issues, but whatever, gonna pick this up on Steam.

Though I think I'll be waiting for a year or so though, in case a Dark Arisen style DLC drops.

Day one on PS5 for me. Doubt my 1660 super can handle this behemoth. My pcbenchmark test has me barely at minimum req.

I have a feeling this will not only be GotG of my heart, but potentially the dark horse goty at Geoff's advertisement awards 2024™.

Don't sleep on this one boys.
