Optimization seems to be an increasingly more apparent issue in new games nowadays. Lets be honest, the graphics plateaued awhile ago. Very few games push graphic boundaries each year. I can play certain games at 60fps, no problem. But then a game will release with graphics comparable to games from 2015 and I'm running at like 30fps with some lag spikes here and there. Its almost like they aren't taking proper steps to optimize the 3D models or something. Like everything they do just constantly adds to the pile of information when they could instead compress or simplify certain things without much graphical difference at all.

It’s because you’re actually right. If you look into graphics programming there’s a corner of TH-cam that actually has a few videos talking about this, while games like Horizon Forbidden West are outliers where optimisation is extremely smart and efficient, there are countless games uses extremely basic optimisation techniques that, while are helping, are far from the capabilities of dedicated graphics programmers and time.

I'm sorry has our gamer Stockholm syndrome really escalated to the point where we're now okay with paying 70 dollars for a game without a new game option? And then shilling for it on top of that?
It's actually kinda the opposite. Gamers have become so entitled that they think 70$ isn't an absolute steal for at minimum, 20 hours of entertainment. If you need a second save slot, you've probably already gotten your money's worth from the game.
Having a single save slot is so you don't save scum your way out of making shit decisions with no consequences. The game wants you to live with the mistakes you make that's part of the experience. If you wanna make different decisions there is always ng+. The games whole premise is an endless cycle you won't get everything the first time.
“We’re now okay” I mean we were okay back then and we all knew this prior. What do we really need the second save slot for anyway? There is very little reason to have more than one character. You can swap classes freely without debilitating consequences unless you are a min maxer They are working on the issue regardless.
Yea was going to comment that. I have it on Xbox and steam (don’t ask why, it just happened and yes, I paid full price for both 😭) pc specs is a 12900ks and a 3090. I get 80fps outside town on large towns 50-60. On Xbox I get 30 +/- a couple fps in towns and 42 outside towns. Pretty solid 42 according to my tv. Tv specs is 75inch 4k @120 and has VVR and freesync so that def helps smoothen the experience a bit
“Its very very good” then goes in to explain why it not actually “very very good” then says to not settle for its “playable” and “it works good enough” this entire video contradicts his very first statement. If its only playable and “works good enough” that does not merit a “very very good rating” what it merits is “its playable and works good enough”
The game itself is very good, the performance as of now it not very good. All he is trying to say. The story can be perfect, action can be too, but if you can't even get stable framerates (terrible idea to just have the game w no cap on fps.) or good draw distance, is the game very good then? No.

Because it's a solid game and the only issue is major cities and even then it's not horrendous even on console, it's a bit annoying sure and they're working on fixing the issues with npcs. Is it said that even high end pcs can't always maintain 60 fps because of the cpu? Yeah but it's not new to most games in 4k.. you drop it to 1440 or 1080 and the game does a lot better. The npcs are all individually simulated by the cpu for some reason, my guess is time constraints and it was left because it'd take time to fix and they probably couldn't hit the deadline.

I have over 10 hours in the game now and i will say I do wish the game had a performance mode for ps5 I've still been loving the game and the lower fps isn't the end of the world.
Star Field does handle it better, but DD2 is at least trying something ambitious. Every NPC is named, has a completely unique face, along with having likes and dislikes, plus a (limited) schedule for where/when you could potentially see them at or on the way to. But regardless, the pop ins are pretty inexcusable. It’s an ambitious game compared to the modern standard. It’s just frustrating most the ideas are left unfinished or unpolished. Devs rarely get the time or funding to fully realize a vision. So exceptions have to be made for that bottom dollar babbbby.
Had it since day on PS5 and honestly have had zero issues.The camera is a little wonky at times when fighting a massive creature within a tight space.That,with all the spells going off can make for a confusing fight at times.Overall an excellent game.They have plans to keep releasing more content for it as well.Dont believe the hype and negativity.I always have to judge things based on my experience.If I used all of these vids as a barometer for my decision,then I would never get off the porch because of all the fear mongering.I also usually wait to purchase AAA games until they are on sale with all.improvements.But,I played the original for years and just couldn't wait for this one.
It’s not only that’s it has performance issues. It’s also a genuinely terrible game. Shame on you for pretending otherwise and wasting your audiences time and money.
I have no issues on ps5, it feels great and looks great. Not one crash yet. No framerate issues. No glitches. No pop in or screen tearing. Only issue is the npcs sometimes fade in to existence... Not a big deal. Too much parroting things people read or heard with no actual experience with the game themselves.
Its not very very good. It not truly open world. Traversing through canyons as the main terrain is not open world. The goblins are tedious. The camping is not immersive. There is no interaction in the player home. And you think the optimization is the only issue? Its just okay. Ive put in 10 hrs and havent played in weeks because...well no reason at all really. I just dont want to run back and forth in canyons fighting goblins for a bottle of whatever in a chest as the only loot. Meh
Bethesda removed a better A.I. from Starfield to improve performance. I know, i have read this somewhere. At one point they "optimized" the game and the A.I. had to be nerfed for better performance.
Game is fun. I don't mind lowering my graphic settings to low and so far no major issues. Frame dropping at major cities and the fade in npcs, which i don't really mind.
As a hardcore gamer who’s been waiting for the game I’m willing to put up with the jank but for casual players I’d recommend waiting 6 months to a year
I have like 250 hours on ps5 and have had 0 issues. I think people complaining are just jumping on the bandwagon about “micro transactions bad dd2 bad” without ever playing the first one or the second.
Yeah they need to Fix This ASAP Because its really Not Optimized with GPU lower than 4000 And i hope they add more Option like Advaced Graphic Settings so we can Setup everything to make game looks smoother
As soon as console gamers stop expecting to have a PC like experience on their potato hardware, we might be able to get somewhere. But when people demand console games to be 1:1 with a PC, we are always playing to the people with the word hardware.
I have it on PS5 and I think it runs smoother than PC from the sounds of things. The NPCs fading in and out doesn't bother me too much and thinking about it it only seems to be localized around the oxcart areas in Vermund and the oxcart in the rest town checkpoint. I haven't seen it anywhere else. I'm loving the game though and playing the hell out of it
I'm going to be giving it some time despite me loving the first game I have a I9-11900k and Rtx 3070 ti and I'm struggling with the frame rate not enough options to fully optimized Graphics settings.
After some performance improvements I think the game will be damn near perfect. So much fun just wondering around and notice a griffon is legitimately hunting you, or minotaur busting out of a forest charging at you. Its extremely dynamic.
We need Shorts on the best succesful way to obtain skills and specializations from NPCs. Also, what benefits do you get when you give gifts to some of the other characters listed in the menu history?
Yeah im done with day 1 steam purchases. I never buy at release because of shit like this. Even a game I was omega hyped for I waited a month to get to make sure the game didnt run like dog water.
I’ve had fun with Dragons Dogma 2 but it has way more issues than just optimization and micro transactions. Best way to put the game is that it feels more like the foundation of a masterpiece but overall is pretty rough
Dynamic NPC's need to use CPU. Using lots of CPU makes less CPU for the rest of the game. Using the CPU means people playing the game will need a powerful CPU to play the game properly. Loads of people have older CPU's and start having issues. Gamers: wanting the best games, but not having the best hardware and blaming the devs!
@@andishawjfacYou're talking bollocks. It has issues even on the fastest CPU available, just go and look at the gamers nexus piece. People are blaming the devs...because it's the devs who've released this mess.
DD2 needs a number of tweaks still. People have said how great it was about the sphinx and the 1st seaker token riddle but being level 62 and having that issue and trying to get NPCs to part with skills and specializations just wasn't working for me so I started from scratch again. They only allowed a new game to be created while 1 already existed with the latest update. So even if I wanted to go back to my 1st playthrough I can't now. Ernesto, btw, never showed for me no matter what time of day it was so timed quests should maybee have a countdown clock
dont see how when its predecessor had microtransactions as well 12 years ago everybody just whiny now a days and EVERY single Capcom since has had them as well
It's primarily down to the engine used for the game, unfortunately as capcom has spent so long using RE Engine that I just don't believe they will change that.
It looks great on ps5. If pop ins bother you, you are playing this game for the wrong reasons. It is the most fun I’ve ever had in a game and I’ve only played one vocation
😂 that's funny last short I was on was saying it doesn't even load for pc an ps5 was better 😂 i got a ps5 im boycotting till they get rid of micro transactions for the game feel like we all should boycott it really tired of games tryna sell me shit i should be able to obtain in a game the fuhk u mean u want $3 to fast travel 😒🤣
even the rendering distance is abismall and pop ins are incredibly noticeable. And it's just ridiculous that even disabling ray-tracing ( a feature that was NOT there at launch) it run at nowhere near 60 fps. That is absolutely inexusable.
Been living in Japan for 10 years and I remember at first I couldn’t even find a WoW server or LoL server to play on, because they didn’t exist here. Japan is a console country through and through, and as a pc gamer to play their shit you’ll usually have to deal with ports, generally resulting in your 2000 dollar rig being outperformed by 500 dollar PlayStations. Just the way it is.
But I do not and will not support pc gaming culture and greed. And I know Sony isn't better but 500 bucks is very affordable to save up in a regular 1 job environment.
Any game that costs $70 and has microtransactions to make the game more convenient is instant trash. Period. People who complain about higher standards on the ones buying these games before they even come out. Why?
There's no real micro transactions, don't stress about that. The Internet connection is needed because it's an online game. It's pretty good, don't let the crazy narratives some online folks came up with keep you away from it.
I feel like playing on PC is like a drug you can never come back from. I’ve always played on console and I never notice frames unless it starts chopping into a slide show. But 30 and 60 feel the same once you play a few hours of either
This is why I often wait for when games go a deeper sale and are often more than a year (or sometimes multiple years) old. Patient Gamer means saving money and less janky things you play.
In the same vein. There are some really impressive graphical things going on (even on PS5). When the sun is setting or rising, you can see it over the horizon/mountains casting a shadow in real time. And I found that the pop in was only egregious if I ever used a ferry stone to the main city area. When I walk there after a long session of exploring the world, it’s usually fine. ALSO, I’d argue you can make the game feel good on PS5 by playing slow and real immersed, that’s how I’m going about it and I have minimal complaints (this is coming from a guy who values FPS > everything else).
I've put in around 40 hours on ps5 and the only complaint I have is the pop in. But that seems to be on any platform. I only really see a dip in performance if I have 1-2 mages casting a big ass iceberg on the battlefield
PC really isn't the way they've patched up the game it's obviously not perfect but when is it ever console is for people who have lives, jobs, families/kids which is more common than PC
Im playing on PS5 and an LG C3 and the game looks absolutely amazing. I mean it looks Very very good. The game itself isnt quite what i expected but i do really like it
I swear too many people are out here acting like they have the highest gaming standards lol. Ive clocked in about 60 hours or so on Ps5 with not one issue.

@@allandm I do not think so, they don't have a performance mode that I am aware of, it's honestly really sad to see because the game is amazing otherwise, you'll probably have to wait a few months to actually play on console and even on pc for some for fixes to come through.
@@allandmLowering resolution wouldn't help since the game is CPU-bound.
i got an RTX 3060 12GB with a I5 121400F:i am playing HFW an i never go below 40 fps on very high settings and i got 0 stutters,now with Dogma 2 in the big cities(capital) without DLSS am dropping to t he low 20's the shadows look awefull RT is even worse and thats on High preset cause there is not Very High and barae in mind thats on 1080p@@yulfine1688
No thought was given to PS5. 🤬
I have over 10 hours in the game now and i will say I do wish the game had a performance mode for ps5 I've still been loving the game and the lower fps isn't the end of the world.
Star Field does handle it better, but DD2 is at least trying something ambitious. Every NPC is named, has a completely unique face, along with having likes and dislikes, plus a (limited) schedule for where/when you could potentially see them at or on the way to. But regardless, the pop ins are pretty inexcusable. It’s an ambitious game compared to the modern standard. It’s just frustrating most the ideas are left unfinished or unpolished. Devs rarely get the time or funding to fully realize a vision. So exceptions have to be made for that bottom dollar babbbby.
Ps4 games with next gen patches look and feel better than many native ps5 games
Had it since day on PS5 and honestly have had zero issues.The camera is a little wonky at times when fighting a massive creature within a tight space.That,with all the spells going off can make for a confusing fight at times.Overall an excellent game.They have plans to keep releasing more content for it as well.Dont believe the hype and negativity.I always have to judge things based on my experience.If I used all of these vids as a barometer for my decision,then I would never get off the porch because of all the fear mongering.I also usually wait to purchase AAA games until they are on sale with all.improvements.But,I played the original for years and just couldn't wait for this one.
It’s not only that’s it has performance issues. It’s also a genuinely terrible game. Shame on you for pretending otherwise and wasting your audiences time and money.
I have no issues on ps5, it feels great and looks great.
Not one crash yet.
No framerate issues.
No glitches.
No pop in or screen tearing.
Only issue is the npcs sometimes fade in to existence... Not a big deal.
Too much parroting things people read or heard with no actual experience with the game themselves.
Its not very very good. It not truly open world. Traversing through canyons as the main terrain is not open world. The goblins are tedious. The camping is not immersive. There is no interaction in the player home. And you think the optimization is the only issue? Its just okay. Ive put in 10 hrs and havent played in weeks because...well no reason at all really. I just dont want to run back and forth in canyons fighting goblins for a bottle of whatever in a chest as the only loot. Meh
Bethesda removed a better A.I. from Starfield to improve performance. I know, i have read this somewhere. At one point they "optimized" the game and the A.I. had to be nerfed for better performance.
its funny because companies are not releasing games for the ps4 in case this happens. yet it happened on a ps5…
It runs good on ps5. No frame stutter/ lag it’s constant wich is what’s matters. No npc that just appear and can see enemy’s from afar.
Game is fun. I don't mind lowering my graphic settings to low and so far no major issues. Frame dropping at major cities and the fade in npcs, which i don't really mind.
As a hardcore gamer who’s been waiting for the game I’m willing to put up with the jank but for casual players I’d recommend waiting 6 months to a year
I have like 250 hours on ps5 and have had 0 issues. I think people complaining are just jumping on the bandwagon about “micro transactions bad dd2 bad” without ever playing the first one or the second.
Yeah they need to Fix This ASAP
Because its really Not Optimized with GPU lower than 4000
And i hope they add more Option like Advaced Graphic Settings so we can Setup everything to make game looks smoother
As soon as console gamers stop expecting to have a PC like experience on their potato hardware, we might be able to get somewhere.
But when people demand console games to be 1:1 with a PC, we are always playing to the people with the word hardware.
Weird because I have it in ps5 and haven’t noticed any pop in at all.
I have it on PS5 and I think it runs smoother than PC from the sounds of things. The NPCs fading in and out doesn't bother me too much and thinking about it it only seems to be localized around the oxcart areas in Vermund and the oxcart in the rest town checkpoint. I haven't seen it anywhere else. I'm loving the game though and playing the hell out of it
Had zero issues on ps5 personally
That fading in is like something from ac2 back in the day 😂
I'm going to be giving it some time despite me loving the first game I have a I9-11900k and Rtx 3070 ti and I'm struggling with the frame rate not enough options to fully optimized Graphics settings.
After some performance improvements I think the game will be damn near perfect. So much fun just wondering around and notice a griffon is legitimately hunting you, or minotaur busting out of a forest charging at you. Its extremely dynamic.
We need Shorts on the best succesful way to obtain skills and specializations from NPCs. Also, what benefits do you get when you give gifts to some of the other characters listed in the menu history?
I preordered the game but didn’t play until later. I got lucky I never saw npcs randomly fading in
Yeah im done with day 1 steam purchases. I never buy at release because of shit like this. Even a game I was omega hyped for I waited a month to get to make sure the game didnt run like dog water.
Denuvo wrecks games. It's the fate of modern games.
Starfield can run more npcs because theres loading screens everywhere, unlike dd2.
I’ve had fun with Dragons Dogma 2 but it has way more issues than just optimization and micro transactions. Best way to put the game is that it feels more like the foundation of a masterpiece but overall is pretty rough
The NPCS are empty spaces though for Starfield. The problem is Dragons Dogma ALL NPCS are dynamic.
Dynamic NPC's need to use CPU.
Using lots of CPU makes less CPU for the rest of the game.
Using the CPU means people playing the game will need a powerful CPU to play the game properly.
Loads of people have older CPU's and start having issues.
Gamers: wanting the best games, but not having the best hardware and blaming the devs!
@@andishawjfacYou're talking bollocks. It has issues even on the fastest CPU available, just go and look at the gamers nexus piece. People are blaming the devs...because it's the devs who've released this mess.
DD2 needs a number of tweaks still. People have said how great it was about the sphinx and the 1st seaker token riddle but being level 62 and having that issue and trying to get NPCs to part with skills and specializations just wasn't working for me so I started from scratch again. They only allowed a new game to be created while 1 already existed with the latest update. So even if I wanted to go back to my 1st playthrough I can't now.
Ernesto, btw, never showed for me no matter what time of day it was so timed quests should maybee have a countdown clock
Crazy that its only truly playable on pc, and it literally crashed every 10 minutes for half the initial playerbase.
Dragons Dogma has too many enemy encounters and it makes it very difficult to traverse the map. Especially if you’re playing as an archer.
Microtransactions killed it
dont see how when its predecessor had microtransactions as well 12 years ago everybody just whiny now a days and EVERY single Capcom since has had them as well
It's primarily down to the engine used for the game, unfortunately as capcom has spent so long using RE Engine that I just don't believe they will change that.
Will an i9-14900k with a 2080 super be okay with it?
It looks great on ps5. If pop ins bother you, you are playing this game for the wrong reasons. It is the most fun I’ve ever had in a game and I’ve only played one vocation
Thank you, I was debating on buying it all this past week. I’ll just wait for it to go down before I buy it at full price.
Yet another game that I'm waiting for peak optimization. I'm SO tired of "playable" and "good enough."
😂 that's funny last short I was on was saying it doesn't even load for pc an ps5 was better 😂 i got a ps5 im boycotting till they get rid of micro transactions for the game feel like we all should boycott it really tired of games tryna sell me shit i should be able to obtain in a game the fuhk u mean u want $3 to fast travel 😒🤣
even the rendering distance is abismall and pop ins are incredibly noticeable. And it's just ridiculous that even disabling ray-tracing ( a feature that was NOT there at launch) it run at nowhere near 60 fps. That is absolutely inexusable.
Been living in Japan for 10 years and I remember at first I couldn’t even find a WoW server or LoL server to play on, because they didn’t exist here. Japan is a console country through and through, and as a pc gamer to play their shit you’ll usually have to deal with ports, generally resulting in your 2000 dollar rig being outperformed by 500 dollar PlayStations. Just the way it is.
But I do not and will not support pc gaming culture and greed. And I know Sony isn't better but 500 bucks is very affordable to save up in a regular 1 job environment.
Not everyone can afford a 4090 GPU and being that a ps5 is much more affordable...it is a trade off.
Any game that costs $70 and has microtransactions to make the game more convenient is instant trash. Period. People who complain about higher standards on the ones buying these games before they even come out. Why?
@@ChaosAscalon You sound like you celebrated trans visibility day.
@@ksteele13 the fuck you smoking how TF did you get that from what i said couldnt be farther from the truth
@@ChaosAscalonThe game sucks. Bonus points if that offends you.
lol dont offend me your opinion still remains shitty cause your reasoning is shitty @@Liberal_Triggerer
Lol the microtransactions are for trash gamers, like the ones asking for Dark Souls types to have a difficulty meter.
The no new game the microtransactions the online connectivity it just seems they went out of their way to make people dislike this game
There's no real micro transactions, don't stress about that. The Internet connection is needed because it's an online game. It's pretty good, don't let the crazy narratives some online folks came up with keep you away from it.
I have played 10 hours so far entirely offline what do you mean?
I feel like playing on PC is like a drug you can never come back from. I’ve always played on console and I never notice frames unless it starts chopping into a slide show. But 30 and 60 feel the same once you play a few hours of either
I played around 6 hours on ps5 and just decided it wasn’t really for me but I can see why people really like it
Meanwhile I'm over here booting up Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 because you can't beat the classics.
mods fixed microtransactions, your welcome.
This is why I often wait for when games go a deeper sale and are often more than a year (or sometimes multiple years) old.
Patient Gamer means saving money and less janky things you play.
literally haven’t bought the game just because of hearing how it’s so poorly optimized it is and that type of shit from a AAA studio isn’t worth $70
In the same vein. There are some really impressive graphical things going on (even on PS5). When the sun is setting or rising, you can see it over the horizon/mountains casting a shadow in real time. And I found that the pop in was only egregious if I ever used a ferry stone to the main city area. When I walk there after a long session of exploring the world, it’s usually fine. ALSO, I’d argue you can make the game feel good on PS5 by playing slow and real immersed, that’s how I’m going about it and I have minimal complaints (this is coming from a guy who values FPS > everything else).
I've put in around 40 hours on ps5 and the only complaint I have is the pop in. But that seems to be on any platform. I only really see a dip in performance if I have 1-2 mages casting a big ass iceberg on the battlefield
It’s feels good on PS5, people are weird, I have no problems with Dragons Dogma 2 on PS5
This game is fine. Period it's just fine. It's not bad by any means but it literally is just babysitting and fetch quests.
PC really isn't the way they've patched up the game it's obviously not perfect but when is it ever console is for people who have lives, jobs, families/kids which is more common than PC
What about how it plays on xbox series x?
Same thing but I’ve had them completely disappear right in front of my eyes lol
Im playing on PS5 and an LG C3 and the game looks absolutely amazing. I mean it looks Very very good. The game itself isnt quite what i expected but i do really like it
What I hate is all the hard to reach places and half the map being mountains
I played it for 70 hours. First game I finished in who knows how long
I play on ps5 and have never seen npc pop in and frame rate has been solid aside from the medusa
I swear too many people are out here acting like they have the highest gaming standards lol. Ive clocked in about 60 hours or so on Ps5 with not one issue.
“We should strive for better” how is DD2 not better 🤣
Honestly couldnt care about that shit games still amazing it doesnt even make me doubt playing the game people cry over the stupidest shit i swear😂
I’m 50 hours in on ps5 never seen that
they spent all the optimization time making the ingame shops
Small things like that don't bother me because I remember playing Atari soooo.....
I am waiting for Empress to make it better 🌚
Starfield had more NPC's but at the cost of many many loading scenes when you switched areas So DD2 does it better
Rmb when DMC 5 came out and it looked amazing and it ran amazingly on basically anything? Why can't we have that anymore?
I think their engine was simply not optimized for anything more than couple NPCs. in small lvls.
Jsut finished lies of p an lords of the fallen an was looking to pick this up since rise of ronin isn’t really getting the best reviews but I’m on ps5 so should I get or not ? Or any other game recommendations Anyone has I’m open to them :)
WTF are you talking about I'm on PS5 and that npc fade in/out never existed. The only issues is the frame drops every now and then which is hardly noticable.
