People who gave this game a bad review obviously did not know what they were buying! Dragons Dogma 2 is a great improvement on the first in everyway and form. If you haven't played Dragons Dogma 1 you may get into 2 not really knowing what it is or what to expect. If you're expecting a deep story and advanced RPG mechanics like Baldur's gate, You WILL be Disappointed. this is an action exploration RPG based on the same gameplay mechanics and enemies as the first. Simple and exciting with many armors, weapons and other items to collect. Lots of enemies to fight and places to explore in the company of your main pawn that you can customize HOWEVER you see fit. Just like the first game, There is NO STORY line worth following. This game is amazing and delivers great action RPG experience based on gameplay just as the first. Five Stars! If you're a fan of monster slaying, exploration and anything goes character customization! this is for you
