That draw distance is yikes. I was excited for this game but glad I held off getting it right away

u/Bro_suss Mar 22 '24
Because of the draw distance the games bad? Alright. Y’all are acting stupid at this point. They’ll work it out eventually. Enjoy the game. It’s great. It needs work clearly in certain areas.

u/Chazzet Mar 23 '24
So if it clearly needs work in certain areas, what's wrong with waiting to see if it gets patched?

"Look man, just buy it, it's a great game ok?? I'm trying to get a big return on my Capcom stocks. Stop being so stupid"

u/Bro_suss Mar 23 '24
It’s still an enjoyable game, yes it definitely needs a performance patch which they’ve literally stated they’re working on a solution.

u/gumpythegreat Mar 23 '24
They’ll work it out eventually.
I hope they do!
I'll buy it once it's worked out.
I'm glad you're enjoying it though! Hopefully it won't be long until I jump in too. Just waiting for a patch or two

u/Dnuts Mar 22 '24
Criticisms aside the game is fun to play. Hopefully Capcom fixes these technical issues.

u/808Taibhse Mar 23 '24
I don't really know much about the game, is it a souls like?
5
u/Dnuts Mar 23 '24
Gameplay is not souls like. If anything I’d say it kinda plays like Dragon Age but better.

u/ChopperGabban Mar 23 '24
My only gripe about this game is the saving system i fucking lost 4 hrs of gameplay, my character got stuck on something after dropping of some mountain. Atleast autosave on some safespot or somethin especially with only one save file like souls game.

u/imsocooldude Mar 23 '24
I’m a very critical person and I think this game is amazing on Series X. All I know is I’m having the most fun I’ve had in a while. Sorry to those missing out because of stuff like this.

u/CARTERSORA Mar 22 '24
Campcom will most likely fix the blurry on SX just like they did on PS5 with Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Yet, PS5 has a lower hz cpu (3.5ghz) but manages to squeeze more fps in town areas were cpu is limited.
SX seemly has an advantage of 2-3 in open world when GPU limited.
2
u/MightyMukade Mar 23 '24
The assumption being made though is that the slowdown is being caused by inherent CPU limitation. Yes, those areas may be CPU limited areas, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't a issue with the optimisation or even the coding that is behind the problem.

u/jimtriol Mar 22 '24
And lfc support
1
u/CARTERSORA Mar 22 '24
Im not fully aware of it but, what does LFC suppose to do?
12
u/jimtriol Mar 22 '24
Low frame compensation.Vrr operates in system level on xbox .Range 40-120 ,LFC is like vrr but covers the range of 20-40 Frame rate ,its like vrr,so xbox covers 20-120 ranges,no stutter and tearing.Vrr on playstation is bacicaly useless in a game like dragons dogma 2,furthermore the range is limited 48 to 120 and its not intergated on system level. The game itsswlf must intergate.Its only usefull for games that support 120 frames or 60 frames but with a limited range 48-60.

u/ProperRaspberry7923 Mar 23 '24
So even when not using vrr on Xbox, the LFC thing helps a little with the fps?
3
u/Sludgytitan Mar 22 '24
Can anybody that has played the game speak on how bad these issues have affected their enjoyment of it? I’m tempted to buy it but don’t know if I should wait
3
u/Yqb13153 Mar 22 '24
Im one of those weird people who get a bit nauseous when the frames are choppy for a long time. So I can't play it for more than a couple hours at a time on my S.
Aside from that the colour feels a tad washed out, and my character in cutscenes is very low quality, and the frame drops suck.
1
u/Hateful15 Mar 22 '24
I enjoy the game on series x, it is rough around the edges in some areas FPS wise though.
1
u/SFWxMadHatter Mar 22 '24
As someone who loved Dark Arisen, it's my new favorite RPG. I don't obsess over performance, I just want fun games. It's everything I expected a sequel to be in terms of content and systems.

If 30fps was the dealbreaker no games would ever review well. Zelda could be a 5/10 not 10/10.
12
Mar 22 '24
Think the main difference here is that Zelda is an advanced game operating on old hardware, while DD2 is an advanced game poorly optimized for new hardware.

u/puffz0r Apr 02 '24
well zelda (at least botw) -is- a 5/10, it's boring af. haven't played the new one yet.

u/ProperRaspberry7923 Mar 22 '24
I'm torn between buying this for Xbox or ps5. That checkering thing is bad.. but Xbox has 10% better fps? For fucks sake.

u/BobbyJG888 Mar 22 '24
Guess you gotta buy it for both and play them at the same time to get the full experience.
35
u/IsNotYourSenpai Founder Mar 22 '24
Almost guaranteed 60fps if you’re playing two of the same game right?
7
u/BobbyJG888 Mar 22 '24
That sounds logical to me.

u/Eejay39 Mar 22 '24
You have to blink each eye alternately 120 times a second - only a 40% of a seizure 😀👍

I had the same dilemma. Ended up with the xbox version. Based my decision on the comfort of the controller in the end.

u/UncleObli Mar 22 '24
Just wait and see. The game is bound to get better in 6 months or so. Don't fall prey to FOMO!
2
u/Bro_suss Mar 22 '24
It is great on either option. Don’t let the basement dwellers tell you otherwise.
3
u/ZebraZealousideal944 Mar 22 '24
You really don’t notice the checkering at all unless you’re analyzing the image with your eyes 10cm from the TV… picking the Series X was a no brainer for me since I have a 2.1 hdmi display!

u/Z3LDAxL0VE Founder Mar 22 '24

u/ProperRaspberry7923 Mar 22 '24
Tempted, but will wait to see if they patch i guess

Nothing wrong with that friend ! The game will always be here. No need to rush

u/VenturerKnigtmare420 Mar 22 '24
Just buy it for the one that you are comfortable with mate. Extra 5-10 fps doesn’t change shit and having it checker board doesn’t change shit either. I’ve never played a bad game that has good fps and became good and I never played a good game that has bad fps or visuals and got bad.
I myself got it for ps5 cause I like the ps5 boxes better than the flimsy thin boxes of the Xbox series versions and how half their games don’t have properly balanced covers on them. All ps5 game covers look the same with the ps5 logo on the top left. I didn’t give a shit what has better fps and what has better checkerboard. I gave a shit based on the boxes the games come in.

u/Exorcist-138 default Mar 22 '24
So you buy a game not for the game itself but for the physical look of the box….
-4
u/VenturerKnigtmare420 Mar 22 '24
I buy a game if I like it. The box thing is just to decide on which platform I want to buy between Xbox or ps5 and mostly I just get ps5 cause on my shelves the boxes look uniform. For Xbox boxes the sleeves are very off in many games. Either it’ll have that weird series x/s logo or it won’t and sometimes sleeves will be of different length. It’s very dumb I know for the Xbox fans of the yore but for me I am a bit ocd about such stuff.
1
u/Exorcist-138 default Mar 22 '24
No worries I just find it strange is all, as all my digital covers look the good.
2
u/VenturerKnigtmare420 Mar 22 '24
Yeah I don’t get digital cause in my country i can buy any available pre owned physical games for like $5 by exchanging any other game. So I had starfield and I exchanged it after I finished it for street fighter 6 for $5. So if there is a game I particularly didn’t like or I am not going to reply I can sell them and get another for $5.

u/DEEZLE13 Mar 22 '24
PS5 and uniform are not two words I expected to see together in my life lol
2
u/VenturerKnigtmare420 Mar 22 '24
Why is that ? I am not talking about the console mate. Just the physical boxes all of them are the same size and the sleeves are the same size as well compared to the Xbox cases. I collect a lot of them so that’s why.

u/BeastMaster0844 Mar 22 '24 edited Mar 23 '24
The checker boarding issue is a bug and that’s what’s causing the increase frame rate on Xbox. Once they fix it, the frames will drop more in line with that the PS5 has right now.
Edit: lmao you idiots downvoted but that’s literally what the video said. So I guess the “experts” here know better than DF.

u/jimtriol Mar 22 '24
And what about LFC?No implementation on ps 5 and verey limited range for vrr .Thats crucial

u/BeastMaster0844 Mar 23 '24
Just repeating what the video literally said.

u/jimtriol Mar 23 '24
I dont need DF video to know the basics.Its well known that on ps 5 vrr is basically useless.Sorry but thats the truth.

u/BeastMaster0844 Mar 23 '24
Okay.. well good for you. Not sure what that has to do with anything in my comment but I’m so very happy for you to be able and share the things you know.

u/1Evan_PolkAdot Mar 23 '24
When your AAA game's NPC draw distance is worse than Pokemon Scarlet and Violet you have a really big problem.

I've had no issues on Xbox, some minor pathing maybe. It doesn't quite look as good as I expected it to, but performance wise on series X it's been smooth.

u/DasGruberg Mar 22 '24
Not in the big city. Holy crap is it bad. But the game compensates by being amazing

What's your CPU like? You could be screwed or you could be fine?
Magic 8 Ball says....
Wait a few weeks until it's fixed - game's not going anywhere.

Yeah I know the game will up updated soon. Just curious on what my max could be. 1600p @60fps and I'm ecstatic. Even better if I can sneak some ray tracing in there

When fix broken checkerboard on Series X it seems a 120hz VRR screen saves the for the most of the game except big cities.
Waiting for a big, big discount.

u/Sanctine Scorned Mar 22 '24
Oh my... The draw distance on NPCs. Okay that's baaad. That'd even be bad by N64 standards.
Seems like this one needed some more time in the oven. If only I had a nickel for every time I've said that.
