Anyone going to check it out? Reviews are "good" on it. however that's coming from a specific subset of gamer or fan of this franchise.

I don't think too many people are up for giving the franchise more money after DD2 was shipped half-finished. I waited a full year to uninstall DD2 waiting for a patch or some DLC announcement that never came. They waited until nobody thought this was coming to announce it.

Comes out Oct 9th on all platforms.

How are reviews from certain subsets of gamers good on it but it doesn’t release for another three weeks? I know some review sites have played it but how have gamers?

I’m in the camp of no I’m not going to check it out unless I see a bunch of people here saying it fixed performance and the snoozefest that is the main game. I doubt that happens.

Nah, I could not get into DD2 and DD1 was one of my all time favs. They got all the money they are getting from me.

I loved Dragons Dogma 2 even with the issues, lol. Definitely picking up Dark Arisen.

Fuck I forgot how to actually play this. Wonder if I should just start a new game or go straight to the dlc not knowing how to control anything. Why they wait so long.

They did patch the game on PC a few months ago that really improved the performance of the game, but I'm still not getting the DLC till it's like $15.

If they really want my money, they'll put this song on the intro screen.

I really loved the base game despite it's jankyness. Going to get the DLC this weekend I think, may just start a NG+ to try it.

Opened the game, and positive thing (might been an old patch, not played since release) is that they added 3 save games. So you can start a new game on hard mode and still have your old save. Also lets you import your current character into a save (without NG+) where you carry over your character with what I think are items/levels/skills, but game is reset and start from the beginning.

I just started a completely new character on hard. From what I've read they add 13ish? new dungeon type places to the base game, but other than that, it is mainly the same. The new item and loot system (which some reviewers like, some dislike) first start at the DLC zone.

It does run a lot smoother than it used to that's for sure.

Seems like they addressed the biggest complaint (difficulty) where nothing mattered and you just stomped through whatever with whoever you had on your team.

You need a real team now on hard difficulty and every fight is serious. That adds a lot of gameplay but not sure it's enough to pay full box price on this DLC.

Yeah hard is hard, at least at the start. As a warrior I died lots on the opening goblins before you even get a pawn. You can't just swing your sword and watch them fly around. Need to block and position yourself.
