ELDEN RING post-release positivity ignites hopes for DRAGON'S DOGMA 2

Mar 19, 2024 1:53 PM

As the anticipation for Dragon's Dogma 2's release grows, some fans are voicing concerns that the experience may be dampened by the recent leaks that have surfaced online. These leaks include clips and gameplay details that are stirring up discussions in the Dragon's Dogma community, particularly on Reddit. Fans reminisce about the post-release period of Elden Ring, where players explored and discovered the game together, sharing their fresh findings and strategies in a sort of "honeymoon period". However, there's a looming fear that the shared sense of discovery could be disrupted by the spread of spoilers and tips.

The subreddit discussions suggest that while the leaks may influence some players' experiences, it's important to remember the game will largely be played by those who have not been part of these online exchanges. Moreover, many of the leaked clips don't reveal significant portions of the game, leaving plenty for players to explore themselves. Historical parallels are drawn to the Elden Ring community, where despite early completions and shared strategies, there remained a vast number of players engaging with the game unspoiled, highlighting the possibility that Dragon's Dogma 2 could still offer a community-driven discovery experience once it launches.

How do game leaks affect the player experience?

Game leaks can spoil important plot points, secrets, and surprises that developers intended for players to discover by themselves. This can affect the sense of wonder and discovery that comes with playing a new game for the first time. However, a significant portion of the player base typically remains unaffected and can still enjoy the game without prior knowledge of leaks.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an upcoming action RPG developed and published by Capcom. It is the sequel to the original Dragon's Dogma, which was released in 2012. The first game was known for its open-world exploration, deep combat system, and Pawn mechanic, where players could recruit other players' characters to assist in their journey. The original game has gained a cult following over the years, and its sequel is highly anticipated within the action RPG community.
