This is really disappointing. The game does give off GOTY vibes until you realize big issues like only having one save file you can fully control, intentially vague dialogue for key quest details, and bad AI. All of which just happens to encourage mistakes that can only be fixed using items which are very limited without microtransactions. Its like an MBA took over in the final phase of development and made it a sleazy moneygrab. The fact that it is a hit means we can expect more developers to adopt this tactic and take it further. Capcom has become EA.

Thankfully I was able to get a refund on Dragons Dogma and used that money to buy Rise of the Ronin. Was not disappointed. They are very similar games but Rise of the Ronin has all the QoL features gamers have come to expect like unlimitted fast travel and saves.

This is a lot of complaints for someone who’s played less than 2 hours of a 100+ hour rpg…

Didn't know you can get Battahl in 2 hours. You may be a speedrunner, but don't assume others are too.

I was pointing out the idiocy of your petty assumption by stating I was at Battahl. Pretty sure its impossible to get there in only two hours.

“PeTtY aSsUmPtIoN” LMAO chill pal most people don’t use disks to play games in 2024. It’s perfectly reasonable to assume people use steam
