Dragon’s Dogma 2 PS5 Patch 1.060 Isn’t the Update You’re Waiting For

A fresh Dragon’s Dogma 2 patch has been pushed on PS5, but don’t get your hopes up for any technical enhancements. Although Capcom previously said that it was planning to improve the game’s frame rate via additional updates, it’s apparently too soon.

Instead, this new patch focuses on busting some bugs. You can download it now, weighing in at 515MB.

Here’s hoping the developer’s almost done cooking those aforementioned frame rate updates, because even though the last patch did improve things — specifically with ray tracing disabled — the open world RPG still suffers from some pretty severe dips in places.

Are you still playing Dragon’s Dogma 2? What do you want to see from future updates? Tell your pawns to settle down in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you’re lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he’s played ’em all — a little too much, some might say.

Really wanted to like this game. Utterly disappointed and decided not to waste my time anymore after 25 hours.

So many gripes with this game, it’s insanely outdated

@Specky I’m with you, I put in 30hrs or so, I have to force myself to play it and try to like it, just isn’t working, awful clunky combat, no lock on, hold assed fast travel.
Any1 known if you get mounts later or you forced to run across the land with encounters every 45secs of the same enemies for 175th time.

@Uromastryx
Same enemies with different colours every 5 steps, over and over and over again.
Pawns saying insanely dumb bs over and over and over again.
Storytelling is non existent, it’s just exposition thrown at you again and again.
You have to trek back through the same areas again and again, encountering the same enemies again, I can go on

It’s so tedious and they haven’t improved all that much in a time where stellar RPG’s have come out and they’ve taken zero notes

As others have said, so tedious. Gave up after 15hrs. They fixed the fast travel situation a little with Dark Arisen. Why the hell take a step backwards from that? Such a shame.

Think i spent 90% of my time fighting the same goblins, regardless of where i was on the map. They’re bloody everywhere.

@Specky I just don’t understand the praise, all the high reviews.
The game is junk, maybe passable at mid ps4 tier,
Having played this alongside Rise of the Ronin, I’m dumbfounded that game got slashed and pushed to the sidelines for what…a ps4 remaster with a 2 added on

Yeah, this feels like a janky WRPG, from 2007, but with modern graphics.
Personally I think the artstyle is incredibly generic.

Yet another overhyped game. I don’t even understand the praise for the original, which also was janky and boring.

DD2 is brilliant in its own unique way. To all these angry moaners, please take the toxicity somewhere else or play another game.

@Uromastryx There definitely won’t be mounts. The 1st was very much the same, but eventually, you unlock teleport stones that you can drop around the map, as needed, and warp to for fast travel. I think these stones were part of the mtx outcry, but essentially, you’d unlock then so your new game plus mode can be done much quicker, once you know where to put them.

@Silenos bad take.

a hater is someone who hates something regardless, all the commenters here have specified why they don’t like the game and I find that very useful.

feel free to comment why you think the game is brilliant!

I’d like that phantom oxcart quest to be able to actually do it after screwing it up. How about Hugo actually doing something in his cell besides grunting.

Love the invisible walls, if you don’t want us to climb, then don’t provide ways to climb.

Interesting to hear the feedback of actual gamers who played the game. As expected, a very different experience from reviews in paid media. But the game sold well, mission accomplished, right?

I haven’t picked this up yet mainly because I was put off by the frame rate issues.

For me, I will always choose 60fps over graphics. I don’t even mind mediocre graphics if the frame rate is good (and I see no reason why this can’t be an option on all console games when PC has lots of scope for various graphics).

Hopefully they can fix that, but from the above comments it doesn’t look like a top priority.

@Silenos What’s the point of a forum or comment section then? Admins should regulate only happy things about anything can be talked about? Everyone should think the same things? All the criticisms above are perfectly valid opinions, even if I like the game. Please don’t misuse the word toxic, it’s already losing meaning with how it’s being applied.

Dd2 is amazing. Loved examine of my 100 hour playthroughs. Rise of the ronin is the one I wanted to like but had to force myself to play. After 20hrs with rotr im kinda done.

I love the game despite its numerous flaws. I fully understand and respect why people don’t like it or feel disappointed but I knew exactly what I was going to get when I ordered this and its pretty much what I wanted. The first game is one of my all time faves and this is just much more of the same.

To the folks complaining about fast travel – this game hands out so many ferrystones and portcrystals that you can pretty much fast travel to anywhere of import. You can even decide where you think is the most optimal spot to place a fast travel point. No, you cannot fast travel willynilly, but that is the point. It’s a more deliberate act and you can find some pretty hilarious solutions to quests via fast travel. There was a quest where I needed to deliver an item to someone, but couldn’t fast travel while holding the item. Instead, I went to the person, picked them up and fast travelled back to the item! Hilarious!

@wildcat_kickz No it doesn’t hand out lots of ferrystones and portcrystals. Please don’t misinform people.

@Uromastryx talk of outdated, that reminds me of Kingdoms of Amalur! Think that was 2011 I played it?!?

Running back and forth across the map and constantly having repetitive unavoidable encounters with the same mobs again and again.

Fine for ten or fifteen hours, but after that you just can’t be bothered anymore.

My memory of DD1 was the same. I have to walk through that cutting in the rocks again, and there are the same goblins I’ve done countless times already.

@Michael2008ish I’ve accumulated well over 20 Ferrystones so far and like 5 Portcrystals. If you’re smart about where you place them, then you can get just about anywhere. Don’t put them where oxcarts travel, for instance.

@wildcat_kickz After 15hrs i’d accumulated 0 portcrystals and 1 ferrystone. Somebody isn’t telling the truth here.
Sorry 1 portcrystal..

@Michael2008ish Thanks for accusing me of lying – much appreciated. I have a portcrystal currently placed in Bakbattahl, at the Sphynx, at the Elven settlement, at the Volcanic Island Camp, and one not placed. That makes 5. Ferrystones are littered about the map in plenty of chests and are often a reward for completing quests.

@Silenos care to elaborate on why its so brilliant?? Or were you just hoping you’d have alot people join you on your comment, Toxic/haters….. please learn to use the words appropriately, Any hater had given their reason to why, yet you come here and tell them to go elsewhere…on a comment section on a forum about the game, the audacity of them,
If this was a new IP it’d be forgotten already,

@Michael2008ish Actually in the True ending post game, port Crystals are the only method of travel. Every single enemy that isn’t undead can drop a ferrystone. By the time I had gone to NG+ I had over 40 stones with 7 warp points.

You can take an Ox cart to travel between cities, ride a griffin to its nest. There are dungeons to avoid Headless Swordsmen at night.

@wildcat_kickz rng chests? I gave up because of the lack of fast travel options and fighting the stalker goblins over and over.

I don’t like how others have used the term “outdated” to describe this game. For me outdated implies that a present state of something is superior. Like DD1, DD2 is an acquired taste. I’m pleased DD2 is more of the same. So for me I’m glad they didn’t go with the flow and make an RPG like everyone else whatever that means. They stuck to what they know just like Bethesda whom knows their core audience. RPGs are supposed to be unique and offer something different. As this genre of games isn’t the mainstream sector for gaming. Likely never will be. I like DD2 for what it is and appreciate it. I hope developers around the world do different things. As for reviews, one needs to know the tastes of the reviewer if one is to value the opinion. Just like I never value the opinion on beer from someone without knowing their preferences/standards.

@Uromastryx Respectfully, toxicity often comes down to language and not necessarily the information behind it. Hyperbole often leads to toxicity because you’re diluting your argument with deliberately inflammatory statements; statements like, “The game is junk” or “if this was a new IP it’d be forgotten already.”

This game obviously isn’t for you and that’s totally fine, but you seem hellbent on making sure everyone else thinks the game sucks too – even to the point of calling out @Silenos for enjoying the game and asking for details, as if he’s somehow lying about his enjoyment?

I only bought it about 10 days ago so am only around 10-15 hours into it. Frame rate isn’t as much of an issue as I expected. It’s not perfect, but it’s not game breaking either. There is some really nice lighting in the game. There are some game mechanics that are annoying though, like the loss gauge (where your health gets lower and lower until you rest at a camp/Inn). Having to constantly move inventory around between you and your pawns so you don’t get overburdened is tiresome. Then yesterday I heard about something called “dragons plague” which sounds like all kinds of annoying! Right now though, I’m still enjoying it.

@B0udoir Wouldn’t say it sold well… yet (it has started well but if ROTR is expecting to sell 5 mil units, DD2 probably aims for 8-12 mil being on three systems). The drop-off in the PS store has been quite quick and in Asian markets is already almost out of the top 10-12 games. A game with this level of marketing/advertising would’ve wanted to have more staying power.

I do find the disparity between gamers and critics with this game to be surprisingly different. Maybe proof that there are too many critics cut from the same cloth/tastes and not enough who have unique voices/tastes?

@SgtTruth The funny thing is I’m playing Nier Replicant and the characters joke about having to keep killing enemies because they cannot fast travel for the first half of the game. That means this has been poor design for a long time. I understand what DD2 was trying to do, they just failed the execution.

Michael2008ish

@breakneck Completely different execution. The map as it was in Nier was confusing at best, but killing enemies was fun. And you can’t beat poetry reciting robots. Classic. Nothing like DD2.
Edit. Was thinking of Automata, but love the original and remaster 😀

@Michael2008ish Yeah I was saying that the fact that Weiss and Nier joke about it just nails how much people hated backtracking even at the time that it was played for a joke. The beauty of Nier is the world is so small and you run so fast that you can be anywhere on the map in 2-3 minutes and massacre most enemies in the area.
