The discourse around #DragonsDogma2 should be interesting next week as a lot of people are very excited for it - but it sounds punishingly old school.
Eg the map is all fogged out, no arrows over quest givers (in fact, NPCs largely seek you out and speak to you), they don’t tell you how to do the quests - just give hints, no fast travel, no compass markers so you have to run around and try to find the village for quest, then when there, no arrows for objective etc. Hard combat too.

I suspect a lot of people will hard nope out of it early in, potentially me included as I’m just too old for it.
That said, it looks like Emergent Gameplay: The Game from what I’ve seen which definitely appeals. Just piles of systems on top of each other, combined with random encounters - I’ve seen some crazy stuff in reviewer early impressions.
Eg people leading a load of enemies into a village and starting a mini war, where quest givers have died and the game is like ‘lol’ #DragonsDogma2

@GossiTheDog they are talking about a 4090 but the screenshots show a graph with a 3080.
also why the 5800X3D and not the 7800X3D.
I mean the point still stands the game is heavy. the article is just a bit odd?

@GossiTheDog I dont doubt it.
just the hardware they used in the text and the hardware in the pictures dont match.
and the 7800X3D is just my curiosity because it is the fastest cpu in most games
Memories of Darkness
@GossiTheDog Judging by their screenshot, looks to be maybe potentially a memory bandwidth problem. Why the hell are they reviewing a high end game like that w/ a DDR4 machine as the main lol.
