As someone who has played the first on like 4 different platforms, it's not even about the money. I wouldn't recommend the game at all until the DLC is out, because the only thing that can save DD2 is adding on something like Bitterblack Isle and all the other improvements that would come with a Dark Arisen style expansion.

When PUBG came out, the original map had a bunch of barren spots where you couldn't find any loot. The kids with ADHD complained that they found it boring, so they filled them all in so virtually every empty spot on the map had some buildings and loot in it and so the average distance between points of interest went from variable and interesting to being roughly the same in every direction. Globomaphomo I say.
Not sure I'm explaining it correctly but I find this latter design really awful, there should be some disparity in some places, some truly empty places, or your world design is shite. DD2 is missing this kind of disparity. DD1 had many places where besides some herbs or monsters there really wasn't anything, and it was great, it felt a little like EQ exploring that game.
BBI was of course just dungeons but it had a lot of variation within and some truly big rooms so it was far more than just one grid of halls after another and I agree it was a great expansion.

That's what people are hoping for, but seeing as TGS came and went without anything from Capcom besides saying DD2 will get a PS5 Pro patch I'm no longer optimistic about it happening anytime remotely soon.

Honestly you needed a better loot distribution in that game. You either landed at a place with loot or in the boonies. But if you landed in the boonies, you were at a massive gear disadvantage.
If you landed at a place with loot, it was pure RNG on whether or not you got any loot worth a shit. 80% of my matches dropping in a spot with loot usually resulted in me finding a crowbar and a level 1 helmet and some mother fucker comes round the corner with full armor/helmet and a fucking SCAR and blasts me

Dunno, seems hard to be undergeared doing the natural progression. Pretty much steamrolled the game, unlocked MA and steamrolled all the bosses until the game was over.

The biggest problem with this game is that it's still, fundamentally, a game from 2011 or whenever DD1 was released. While I'm sure that was novel and great for the time, everything in DD2 feels "meh" because it has now either already been done, it feels dated, and/or it has already been done better by another game.
It's basically Monster Hunter, just with slightly shittier combat and barely "programmable" AI. Biggest waste of $60(70?) I had this year.

Second that.
It took time for the buyers remorse to set in, the new and shiny "installment" to Dragon's Dogma had finally arrived-- but once full hindsight was possible, it stands as a colossal waste of money.
The "Collector's pack" or whatever Deluxe was insultingly stupid and up there with the cash grabs of the year. Can't name 1 thing from the Deluxe that was cool.
If a Ascension type DLC comes out for this, it'll need to be as well-received as DD1 DLC to get my attention again. DD3 is DOA.

Anyone played this post patch? I just got around to playing. Did a warrior and I keep getting my ass handed to me as the AI is fucking stupid. Looked up classes but not sure how many of the best ones were nerfed in the last patch. I did an elemental archer (spells on arrows) in the 1st one, may go that route again. Deleted the tank , all the valleys make my followers come just in time to watch me die.

Well this game just isn't fun and I'm tired of pretending. Glad I got it on sale but between the constant too fucking dark HDR which I'm reading can only be turned off if I turn off HDR in Windows? and in fighting about the time I figure out why I'm getting my ass kicked , I'm dead , I just don't need this grief. Oh well time to find something else to play.

While I overall like the game, it definitely has something missing over the original. The combat doesn't feel as good and I don't like how they cut down the number of abilities you can equip.
It really does need a Bitterblack Isle style expansion.
Night is supposed to be dark as shit, it's not just an HDR thing.

I wouldn't even try going anywhere at night because it was so dark during the day. Not sure why RE engine games are this way but HDR is fucked. I can turn it off by going to fullscreen windowed and it's correct, then next time I save the damn game 'detects HDR' and changes it back. Doesn't matter now,I'm looking for something else to play.
