Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

A new Dragon's Dogma 2 patch is now live on PC and consoles, introducing some gameplay tweaks and fixes. As announced earlier this month, the April 25th patch focuses on gameplay improvements, tweaking the dragonsplague mechanics, adjusting the infection frequency, and making it easier to spot infected pawns. The new Dragon's Dogma 2 update also introduces some improvements for Pawns, adjusting their behavior and dialogue, making them less likely to fall off cliffs, reducing the frequency of some of their dialogue lines, and more. The full update notes can be found here. Dragon's Dogma 2 is now available on PC, […]
The next Dragon’s Dogma 2 update will not address the performance issues plaguing the game, instead focusing on gameplay adjustments. With a post on X/Twitter, CAPCOM confirmed that the next major update, which will go live later this month, will introduce some gameplay changes and tweaks, such as changes to the dragonsplague system, Pawns' behavior and dialogue, and others. The new update will also address an issue that caused escort quests to fail under certain circumstances and introduce a new option to zoom in on the faces of the Arisen and Pawns in the status screen and shops. As already […]
The ultimate cure for the annoying Dragonsplague affliction featured in Dragon's Dogma 2 is now available, but only for PC players. The Dragonsplague System Removal mod, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, removes, as the name implies, the dreaded gameplay system that can nuke entire towns. The mod tricks the system so that an afflicted pawn will not kill every NPC in the vicinity after resting once the affliction value reaches 10. Additionally, the mod ensures that the affliction won't pass on to other pawns, preventing the Dragonsplague from spreading. While the mod should be fine to use online, […]
Dragon's Dogma 2 launched around ten days ago, earning a favorable reception from critics (I gave it an 8/10 in my review) but not equally enthusiastic from fans, especially on Steam. That was largely due to the microtransactions and technical performance, but there are other minor issues that PC users can easily fix with the help of mods. The Nexus website dedicated to Dragon's Dogma 2 already hosts 313 mods that have been downloaded 1.5 million times in total. Here's an overview of the best ones. Camera Tweaks Dragon's Dogma 2 features a 'Camera Distance' slider. However, that doesn't really […]
We get it, you’re still probably playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and that’s okay. It’s a big RPG and there are a lot of important choices, side quests, and min/maxing to be done, and we’ve got all the guides you could possible need for Square Enix’s m...
Dragon's Dogma 2 only launched a few days ago, and yet CAPCOM has already sent out a survey to players asking whether they'd be interested in purchasing DLC. The previous installment in the franchise famously got Dark Arisen, which featured additional content like the extra dungeon of Bitterblack Isle, around a year after the release of the base game. Of course, whether Dragon's Dogma 2 gets its own Dark Arisen will likely depend on the sales. So far, CAPCOM hasn't said anything. We only have partial data, like the latest UK retail chart, where the game ranked #2 on its […]
A new Dragon's Dogma 2 mod released online this week improves the game's ray tracing quality, fixing some visual issues as well. The Quality Ray Tracing mod, available on Nexus Mods, increases ray tracing resolution to full resolution instead of the default 0.4 and disables the aggressive denoiser to fix the smearing that is very visible during movement. The increase in ray tracing resolution, however, impacts performance considerably, so using this mod is not advisable to those without top-of-the-line systems, which already have trouble running the game smoothly. Another rather big issue found in Dragon's Dogma 2 is the very […]
Among the most interesting vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2, and the series as a whole, is the Mystic Spearhand vocation. Like most advanced vocations, however, the Mystic Spearhand vocation has to be unlocked first before the Arise can change to it. How to Unlock the Mystic Spearhand Vocation in Dragon's Dogma 2 The Mystic Spearhand can be unlocked by speaking with a specific NPC called Sigurd, who's also the vocation Meister. There are two ways to do so. The first is to play through the Readvent of Calamity quest in Melve until you meet him. The second is to find […]
Most of Dragon’s Dogma 2's classes (or “vocations”) are carryovers from the series’ 2012 entry. However, since this is a sequel Capcom’s newly released high-fantasy action-RPG does feature some new vocations for you to unlock. One of them, the Darth Ma...
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is finally here, and while many are enjoying the experience, there have been some complaints, leading to a bit of a mini-backlash against the game. One of the issues that’s brought up in a lot of negative reviews on Steam and elsewhere are microtransactions tied to items that provide quality-of-life features like being able to re-edit your character, place warp makers, and more. Now, most of these things can be earned via regular play in-game, but getting them is just difficult enough that some may be enticed to pay real money for them. Here’s the list of […]
Dragon's Dogma 2 is going to receive plenty of improvements in the future, which include NVIDIA DLSS quality improvements and additional graphics options on consoles. Today, CAPCOM revealed additional details on what the development team is working on. Alongside the option to start a new game when save data already exists, the team will increase the number of the Art of Metamorphosis items, which allow the editing of the Arise and the main pawn, available in Pawn Guilds to 99, making the quest that allows players to acquire their own house available earlier and miscellaneous text display and bug fixes.
