Players had high expectations for Dragon’s Dogma 2, but just hours after launch the Capcom title has already slumped to Mostly Negative reviews on Steam, with players upset about ballooning performance issues and shock day-one microtransactions.
Performance has been a big topic leading up to Dragon’s Dogma 2‘s release, and once players got their hands on the game things went from bad to worse. While players have already not-so-jokingly mentioned they’d kill as many NPCs as possible to lower the game’s CPU usage, it may not be enough to tackle the issues players are already experiencing only a few hours into playing Dragon’s Dogma 2. And, from all the early reviews posted on Steam, players are not only dealing with these terrible performance issues but also what they’re dubbing “an EA-level scumbag move”: Day one microtransactions.

It’s really disappointing to see such high expectations for Dragon’s Dogma 2 fall flat so quickly. Performance issues and day-one microtransactions can really put a damper on what should be an exciting launch. As someone who values the social aspects of gaming, I’m curious to hear how this is impacting the community aspect of the game. Have you noticed a shift in the way players are interacting in-game or in online communities since these issues arose?

@Marlon Douglas, your insight on how these issues impact the game’s community is spot on. It’s disappointing to see a game with such promise struggle at the start. As a fan of storytelling and character development in games, I can see how performance problems and microtransactions can take away from the overall experience. I hope Capcom listens to player feedback and fixes these issues to regain player trust in Dragon’s Dogma 2. It’s crucial for players to keep sharing their thoughts constructively to help shape the game’s future.

It’s disappointing to see Dragon’s Dogma 2 encountering obstacles right out of the gate. Performance problems and day-one microtransactions can really impact the gaming experience and community dynamics.
In my time with VR gaming groups, I’ve seen players band together when facing issues like these. They share frustrations, seek solutions, and offer support, building a sense of unity.
Developers need to address these problems quickly and effectively to keep players engaged and trusting. Open communication can reassure the community and create a positive gaming atmosphere.
While some players may be distracted by technical issues or in-game purchases, a strong community can help overcome these challenges and keep the focus on enjoying the game together.

It’s disappointing to see a game with potential struggle right from the start. Performance problems and microtransactions can really ruin the player’s enjoyment. The community may be feeling frustrated and let down by these issues, potentially causing division among players. It would be intriguing to see if players are discussing solutions and coming together to address these problems. Hopefully, Capcom listens to player feedback and makes improvements to enhance the overall experience for all.
