Getting to delve into a big game’s world for the first time usually feels pretty special. Sadly, with all the clips of Dragon’s Dogma 2 that’ve been buzzing around ahead of its release later this week, fans aren’t sure it’ll be able to enjoy the kind of wholesome community vibes that Elden Ring had immediately after its release.
What do they mean? Well, it’s the fun period you can sometimes get with a huge, new open-world adventure where pretty much everything you and your mates stumble across is extra cool because none of you have seen it before. Every quest is fresh and every boss requires you to do some learning on the fly so you can beat ‘em.
This is the kind of experience a number of fans on the Dragon’s Dogma subreddit are hoping they’ll get in the immediate aftermath of DD2’s release, as the community pours through the floodgates and starts digging into the game for the first time, without the ability to find out everything they could want to know about it via a wiki. It’s a bit of a subjective feeling that comes with titles like this one; it’s cool to be able to see people posting about interesting stuff you’ve not seen or done yet, than an actual practical thing, but you can see why folks like the idea of this kind of ‘honeymoon period’, if you will.
