"Tricking other players with counterfeit ferrystones and beetles will never get old."
Yeah, no, this article is not the ringing endorsement of DD2 that the author seems to think it is.
If anything, these are actual in-game reasons (buried under all the modern video game industry horseshit slathered on top of the game) that make me not want to play DD2. Or, at least, play it with online turned off completely (assuming that's even possible to do, which it likely isn't, considering that the game is infested with goddamned Denuvo).
And looking more into that "plague" shit mentioned in the above article, yeah... that asinine dogshit doesn't sound like an enjoyable video game experience to me at all.
"In short, Dragonsplague causes any infected pawns to become stronger and more effective in combat. However, it will also, eventually, cause them to turn into a massive dragon and wipe out whatever town you’re currently resting in, killing every villager and then saving your game in the process. Not great!"
You're fucking right that's "not great!" Especially if the only way to "fix" the problem before it becomes game-breaking is to murder your pawns. (You know, like perhaps some of those high-level pawns that you idiotically just wasted real world money on buying DLC rift crystals to recruit, maybe?)
This seems like some of the dumbest dumbshit to ever be dumbshat into a video game. If I were playing this game (which seems even more unlikely at this point) and that shit happened to me, I'd simply uninstall the game and never touch it again.
Seriously, between Diablo 3, Shenmue 3, Mass Effect 3, and now Dragon's Dogma 2 (and several other, lesser examples that I don't care to bother to list here), the modern video game industry has proven very adept at making me utterly loathe sequels to games I'd previously loved.
Also, this Jade King writer on TheGamer.com seems like a worthless troll whose shit I'd be best off not reading in the future.
