Finally! Dragon's Dogma 2

Getting worse with reviews (already 12K and mostly negative) and people i mean sheep still support this scam i mean gaming industry of today. Gaming companies going to keep producing garbage because people will buy it on launch. Actually i am starting to think this is a good business model.

I like one of the negative reviews:

Hey Capcom,

You can purchase a "good review DLC" for $1.99.

Isn't Capcom known for using programs like Denuvo and not disclosing that fact? Or am I mistaken?

I don't think so, Steam is very clear about showing when Denuvo is in a game.

I was watching a stream of someone trying to play this on a 3050 and god it looked trash. Then I see Digital Foundry's analysis where they're showing an unbelievably bad cpu bottleneck and 40 fps with a 4090 using a 7800x3D. Yeah no thanks, I'll steer clear of this one for a year at least and hope it ever gets fixed.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that this particular release had Denuvo. I just thought I remembered a Street Fighter release or something having undisclosed Denuvo. Thought it was relevant in the context of previously undisclosed microtransactions.

Dragon's Dogma 2 does have Denuvo but Steam does list it. You are correct though, Capcom does have a long history of trying to hide their scummy additions.

For at least the last five years Steam has always had a prominently displayed "Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo" label on the game's page when it has Denuvo and similar for other DRM. Sometimes a game will hide it's using Denuvo until launch but after that Steam seems to require it to be listed.

For what it's worth I've been playing the game on my PC the last two days. I'm not seeing any massive performance issues. Few spikes in the frames when visiting areas for the first time.

I'm running all high settings with dlss quality at 4k and ray tracing enabled. I do see it ranges from 70-100fps. Obviously turning dlss off and trying to run native 4k it doesn't always stick to 30 fps.

@sze5003 Same boat as you. I haven't had any performance issues. The game runs great for me. I'm playing at 4k, FRS3 quality, all settings on and maxed including ray tracing. I get 50 to 100+ fps depending on where I am. The game is fun.
