So, to start this off I love this game. Even through its poor performance and what some consider lacking monster diversity, I think it is the perfect sequel to the first game.

Let me start by giving the note that I didn't play the first game till some years ago so I was fairly late to the party. But I fell in love FAST and that love stuck.

What I think most people are upset by about the game, besides performance, is that it didn't innovate like the first game, and honestly, I have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue how it could have, because of just how innovative the first game was. I think people wanted what Dragons Dogma 1 gave to gaming as a whole to be true with the second but to be frank that just isn't really possible to the same extent anymore. And I think Capcom knew that.

This game is just Dragons Dogma 2. It isn't meant to innovate gaming. It isn't meant to add whole new aspects that would blow peoples mind. It was simply meant to be the sequel to a game that just did it right back in the day. And that's all it is, at least for me.

Now, I won't deny the poor performance. I got the game when I had a laptop with a rtx2060 and a mobile ryzen 9 4000 series and it didn't run great, usually between 40-60fps not in town and a solid 30 in town. Now I have a much better system running a 4070 super and a 7950x3d (with some fairly serious overclocking) and at pretty much maxed out settings (without framegen because the latency and tearing doesn't feel great, I would use framegen if that wasn't the case tbh so go cry abt it idk) it runs at a solid 80-100 most every where with the occasional dip into 70 in towns.

My last little bit is play time which I see people complain about a lot. I currently have just shy of 65 hours and I haven't finished the game yet. I haven't just wandered around for no reason for 20 some hours either. I've been enjoying the game and playing it like DD1. You can totally run through the entire story in 30-40 hours or whatever sure but that's not what dragons dogma is there for. It's there to enjoy the world and fighting these monsters, trying out new classes till you find one that sticks, gathering a group of pawns that work with each other and yourself, and mainly to just enjoy the world, which is something I think DD2 shares in common with the first game.

Anyways I really love this game, combat feels great and the monster variety is good enough, sure it could be more but it's not bad at all. I feel like I encounter a good diversity throughout my travels and if I really need parts for upgrading I know the spots where certain things spawn. Traveling feels satisfying whether you take an ox-cart that gets ambushed and destroyed or not, or if you've put in the time to place your portcrystals and get to "fast travel" to where ever you are going. Yeah I miss my movement tech with magick archer (and tbh the new magick archer doesn't quite feel that fun to play because it is just stupid powerful) the classes, new and old, are fun and add things that the old game didn't have. (shout out my monster hunter greatsword shoulder charge tech)

I think the game, not including performance, is truly great and eventually we will get a dlc that will be dark arisen sized, if not bigger, and people will complain a little less. *And hopefully we will get proper performance optimizations.

It's like dark souls but with only skill issue

Pretty fire as a casual.

Play a few games against urself to see abilities.

Enter multiplayer and get true comboed for your first 10 games till you eventually match someone else that doesn't know what to do and maybe if ur lucky get a hit.

10/10 watching someone beat your ass after losing has never felt better

Absolutely one of if not my most favorite Rogue-lite/like I have ever played.

Being a very avid player of smaller short and sweet games Samurai Bringer blew any and all expectations out of the water.

Almost no game has given the pure sheer amount of joy and fun I had while playing and I still have so much more content and combos to discover create and try.

10/10 Thank you

I got a temp ban because the game crashed on an error while loading into the match tf...


Cont. I tried loading back in to a match 5 mins later exact same thing happened... gave me another 5 minute ban

I have had mixed feelings over Cyberpunk from it's release till now.

To be short about how I feel; as the game is now (and has been since update 2.0) I love it. It is easily my favorite rpg to have come out and that I have played, bar none.

To be not so short about it however, and to tie back into the comments of my mixed feelings over its lifetime; I legitimately loved cyberpunk when it released. It ran fine enough (I was on a laptop with a 2060 and a laptop ryzen 9 4000 series) at medium-high settings (being ran about 60 fps most of the time) and while yes I encountered MANY bugs mostly some side quests I couldn't continue or activate in the first place. It was so much fun, being able to explore the city and learn more about characters and build a relationship (however limited it may have been back then).

And then the first few major updates came out, I hated what had happened. I loved that I could experience the side quests that I couldn't before. But they also, for me at least, ruined driving and the experience of it. And this still stands to this day. They (being CD Projekt RED) had gone too far in trying to fix the game that certain parts weren't as enjoyable anymore and I was honestly sad over this game that I had loved through its bugs.

HOWEVER, none of that (besides the driving physics and experience) still stands. The game has come to a place, where like I had said, is by far my favorite rpg to have ever come out. And it's not just because cool tech man go pew pew. For me, Cyberpunk has what most rpgs fail to encapsulate, which is the aspect of role-playing. Most rpgs, from my experience at least, put you in a story, or a role, and say "alright this is you and you can (sometimes) choose your attitude towards things but like, this is you so you better like it or download some mods." Cyberpunk however, even though you are a set person with a goal, feels like you can actually roleplay past what most games give you. Sure like most games you can choose your combat playstyle, but beyond that you can truly be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you want, or a peoples person trying to help everyone and the game doesn't just give you these moments in little sections for you to later be ripped away from that and thrown back into whatever the developers have said your character needs to be. In cyberpunk you feel like you can be the character YOU decided to be more times than not and that is what truly makes Cyberpunk amazing for me.

Besides all of that, there is the level of immersion I have yet to feel from another game. Especially, for me, this is highlighted by relationships and the updates that have gone into those. What modern mainstream game have you played where when you get into a relationship and you start to get texts from your in-game spouse? For me? None. And it goes beyond that, you truly feel like after putting in the "effort" of starting these relationships that you have an emotional tie to whoever it may be. They care about your character and it shows in a way that most games fail to capture.

Another massive aspect of why I love Cyberpunk is replayability. For context I am currently on my third and a half play-though (I had a couple characters that I started but never finished and I'm not quite done with my most recent character.) While I love to play an rpg for a second time to try a new playstyle or choose different dialogue options I haven't ever had the experience where a game was as enjoyable the second or third, or so on, time around as the first, except with Cyberpunk (not including games that there were some 5 years in between plays or such.) Even with my last few characters (which happened in the span of a year and change) which were all made to be a similar playstyle and have similar choices, I had just as much fun and excitement and enjoyment and so on as I did the very first time I played Cyberpunk (not accounting for having a system upgrade so I could further enjoy the graphics as well) which I think is something that other games don't do for me in any similar way.

My last points here are two but a bit shorter:
Modding for this game is incredible. Truly just amazing. And while yeah they aren't at the same level as Skyrim where you wait an hour or two and download a mod that adds an entire dlc sized area and questline, they are incredible in a different sense. They add things to the game that just make sense, and that isn't to say that CDPR messed up by not adding them, because they didn't need to, but rather that the community wants to add and help grow the game in a way so that others can all share in the same sense of immersion and enjoyment.

My actual final piece is that the dlc is incredible and honestly puts most games dlcs to shame in terms of quality and size. I am still playing through liberty city for the first time and I have barely scratched the surface yet I can easily recognize its utter brilliance. Besides just the story line it adds and the area of dogtown itself, it adds so much to the "base game" that just makes it that much more 'Cyberpunk' and I love it.


*this is my little sidenote for the 0 of you that care but for the longest time I had a negative review for Cyberpunk because of that weird awkward point it had before the 2.0 revamp when the game felt truly bad to play for me and I was honestly feeling bad for having that review up but I hadn't felt justified to take it down yet. But after getting back into the game in the last year I can so confidently say it is one of my all time favorite games.

Very A1
