People thought Dark Souls was the best thing since sliced bread, and that ran like absolute trash on the Xbox 360/PS3

Never played it on consoles but ones that come to mind that I played on PC which were popular but ran like plop for me were Ark, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Arkham Knight. At least down the road (a long way in some cases) eventually I was able to enjoy Wildlands and Arkham Knight, Ark never got into a position where I was able to enjoy it. But so many others did/do. One of the promising things about Dragons Dogma 2 I guess, is that despite the performance issues, many respected reviewers , like ACG/Fextralife etc, still say its a brilliant game. I can live with only hitting 60fps out and about and getting drops to 30-40 in a town if the game (most of which I assume is played in said out and about areas) is very good but then I do have a slightly higher tolerance for these things than some (looking at you Mr Worthabuy geezer :D )

To be fair even Elden Ring which has been out a while doesn't really run amazingly considering how it looks, if you enable stuff like RT it just kills the performance and doesn't improve the visuals.
 
Midnight tonight release time by the looks of it

Will this be one of the very few games without issues this year?. There does seem to be an awful lot of disappointments of late, i really want this to be worth buying, hoping its good, for the dev's and us.

If you can live with framerate issues, then the actual game itself is getting very good reviews. Most reviewers are not having any major problems with the framerate (It is not stopping it being an enjoyable experience). Your milage may vary though depending on your system.
 
Not sure - every review I've seen so far says PC performance is really bad due to poor CPU optimisation (probably because of Denuvo which they probably remove in 12 months time when they meet their sales targets)

It seems to be more of an issue when you enter towns or settlements. Out in the open world the performance is better. From the reviews I have seen, it hasn't stopped the overall enjoyment of the game. I guess time will tell.
 
I'm lucky to have a powerful PC.

But I also grew up playing games that were janky as hell. Wing Commander on the Amiga 500 was a complete slide-fest.

I also played many games made for NTSC format that ran 12% slower than they should have, Or ran below 20fps like Ocarina of Time.

So although I would much rather play at a stable 120hz on my OLED, I can deal with low frame rates.

The fact it's CPU limited, means that G-sync should also help. Unlike some games which have traversal stutter or shader compilation stutter that Variable refresh rate technology can't do anything about.

Dragon's Dogma 2 players discover that NPCs are linked to performance, so they decide to commit genocide to gain more FPS​

Yup, and you have to pay a MTX fee to change your character's appearance, or for the benefit of fast travel. Along with Denuvo being there, too.

You can change your appearance and fast travel without paying a fee. You get the items to do that ingame, the MTX is just a way for those people who cant be bothered to get the items to shortcut it.
 
MTX to change your character is really unforgiveable nonsense.

I'm OK with the game being designed around not enabling fast travel etc.

Both of these should be user issues though, allow users to toggle them on/change them with the warning that it's not how the game is designed. Charging money on top is just greedy.

Its also not true though, you get the items to do both of those things ingame, you dont have to mtx for them, unless you're someone who cant be bothered to get the ingame items of course, then you mtx
