Dragon's Dogma 2 is out, and while it's a fun game, it has a lot of problems. For once I'm not disappointed, because I actually enjoyed my time with the game, but it does fail as a sequel. I've put several hundred hours into the first game, so I figure I'm about as qualified as it gets to dissect this game. So, join me in this review, analysis, prolonged complaining session, whatever.
