Finally. I can explain my 1 star rating for Dragon's Dogma 2: It sucked.

[–] OmegaMouse@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I've not played it but enjoyed the first one - what was bad about it?

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You gonna make them write it twice? 😜

The answer is probably being worked on even now on Sony's site.

I played the second but not the first. The game is mid. It feels like an MMO rpg but in weird ways. Some of the quests were designed by a sociopath. An example: there are collectible discs throughout the game. Hundreds of discs. One quest near the end of the game has you go find the place you picked up your first disc. And you only have seven in game days to find it. Literally impossible unless you wrote down where it was. There are other little things but if you have zen like patience it’s decent. Just don’t pay full price, it’s not worth it.

Take all the proboems the first game had and, instead of fixing ghem, make it worse. Give it a really bland story that goes absolutely nowhere. Make every quest as vague as possible. Hell, make it hard as fuck to even find side quests. Give it the most annoying combat you've ever seen in a game, where your stats and weapon really don't even make a diffetence. Give it sub 30 fps. And that's DD2.

Absolute worst sequel to anything I've ever played. Such a disappointment after the first game was so great with only a few issues that easily could have been remedied.

That's a shame to hear! I really enjoyed playing the first game the other year (though that was quite janky and confusing at points)

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Lemme guess: "It sucked." is the entirety of the review?

Is that what Ozzy was saying in the opening to Crazy Train??

Just tried it out, and it gave me an error. Now no one will try out indie gem Forgotton Anne that I picked up on sale.

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Make here a post, maybe a lemmy user pick it up

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How long till the first game get review bombing?

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

To be fair the PS store always was the IGN of store ratings. The game doesn't start but instead a small plastic projectile gets shot out of the disc drive straight at your balls? 3/5 PS store rating.

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

I don't even know how to rate a game

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Hell, I'd give any game that can accomplish that a five-star rating for sure!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's your 5 star and justsomeguy's 1 star that averaged it to 3 star 😀

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Really would be 4 because justsomeguy only mentioned a 3/5, even tho he was just mocking the ratings..
