is the game worth it at 40$ ?

[Dr.NoBody™]

please give your honest opinion, i need as many reviews i can gather before the sale is gone.

For you? Nope.

[Singed]

yes. Good PC = Good Game. For me is it a GOTY candidate. If you like to kill big monsters, Explore a gigantic world in a nice medieval setting you will love it.

This game is worth at its full starting price for me. I got my full value back from paying this game at its full price pre-ordered before it is released.

I agree wholeheartedly. Even with my mediocre system and adjusted expectations of the technical aspects, I would have paid even more. But for anyone who considers themselves a mainstream gamer with mainstream expectations and habits, I can't seriously recommend this game. It's very different from anything I've played before, but for me it hits the mark.

Please note that I'm old school, which gives me a very different perspective to games and gaming as such.

Personally I would rate it as being worthwhile in the $20-30 range. This comes from a longstanding DD fan, who played the original back in 2012 - I think DD1 is overall a better game in most respects besides some that may or may not be superficial to you such as graphical fidelity. It's also significantly cheaper, I believe.

My personal suggestion is, if you haven't played either game, try and get dragon's dogma: dark arisen on sale for a cheap price. If you really enjoy that game and just want more dragon's dogma and don't mind a couple things being dumbed down then dd2 might be worth it. Personally I am very dissapointed with dd2 although it's not like it's a horrible game or anything. It's a very good looking game so that may be more of a selling point for you than it is for me.

$40 begins to come close to the right price for this game, but personally I wont touch it until its less than $30. I bought the first game and watched for years as this one was built, and they just didnt improve or expand things in a way that justifies that price. $70 is always too high and I intentionally ignore any publisher who tries this, and on top of that this isnt a good game lol.

What he said - I agree

[SHARKON]

if you have to ask, probably not.

[αℓвℓσєツ]

no no no no

[darien]

Game is worth it for gameplay but if you were hoping to see a very good story, nope. Its clear the devs focused on other things.

[Wanda]

It'a STRONG good game, but sadly not a "must have" at all. Wait for a true performance patch if you want enjoy it with a clear mind.

No, game lacks content/is unfinished and runs like crap.

[Redsun]

Game not worth until at least 40% discount. Definitely not at 20% or even worse full price. I pity the idiots who bought at full price (this includes me, yes i'm an idiot).

[XGear]

The game is fun, but it works like a car without 2 front wheels and with poor quality gasoline.

It's not worth any money, you are better off (re)playing Dark Arisen which is about thousand times more interesting than this one.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a soft reboot which made many mechanics lot worse and didn't improve anything from the previous game. It's simply very irritating to play.
DD2 is worth buying when they inevitably release an expansion DLC and if they are actually doing anything to improve the game. Until then... do not waste your money.
