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 […]

Dragon's Dogma 2 has received a new mod, allowing players to start a new game and play multiple characters along the way through unlimited save files per character. The newly-released Dragon's Dogma 2 hasn't received the welcome from the community the devs were expecting it to, and to top it off, Capcom decided not to include the option of starting a new game, which did bother some gamers out there. However, the modder Llama has come up with an exciting solution, creating a dedicated mod to sort this problem out, along with giving users the ability to create multiple characters […]
As I mentioned in my Dragon's Dogma 2 review, despite the announcement of NVIDIA DLSS 3 being available at launch, NVIDIA's frame generation technique is nowhere to be found. That, on top of other performance issues caused by CPU optimization that CAPCOM has promised it'll try to address and the newly discovered microtransaction controversy, has translated into a rocky start for Dragon's Dogma when it comes to Steam reviews. The current average score from users is 'Mostly Negative', with a very low 39% approval score. Of course, that might change in the future if some of those issues are solved. Meanwhile, […]
Capcom has provided a Dragon's Dogma 2 release launch update following community backlash over the game's paid DLC, subpar performance, and more. The long-overdue sequel to 2012's Dragon's Dogma is available worldwide across PC and consoles. Unfortunately, with the game now being available for everyone, it's already being review-bombed over paid micro-transactions. Interestingly enough, many of the items that can be paid for, can also be obtained by playing the game. Paid DLC isn't the only thing that publisher Capcom is receiving backlash over, however, as people are also complaining about its performance. On Steam, Capcom has now issued a […]
Dragon's Dogma 2 features many quests, but not all can be completed by simply going from one point to another. Some of them have some requirements that must be met to be completed. This is the case of a couple of quests you must complete for Captain Brent in Vernworth. To even begin The Stolen Throne and the Feast of Deception quests, you will need to score yourself a set of suitable garments to be granted access to locations only available to the nobles' of the city. How to Get Courtly Clothes in Dragon's Dogma 2 The suitable garments mentioned […]
Dragon's Dogma 2 features ten different vocations, allowing you to employ different fighting styles to defeat the many enemies you will meet on the road. Every vocation is extremely fun to use, so you will want to try all of them out before settling on one. To do so, however, you will have to unlock some of them first. This is the case of the Trickster, a unique vocation that puts the Arisen into a markedly supportive role. How to Unlock the Trickster Vocation in Dragon's Dogma 2 To unlock the Trickster vocation, you will have to make some progress […]
Much like its predecessor, Dragon's Dogma 2 doesn't hold your hand most of the time, leaving you to figure out what to do to complete quests yourself. This is the case of The Caged Magistrate quest, one of the main story quests that can be difficult to complete if you don't explore the city of Vernworth thoroughly. How to Complete the Caged Magistrate Quest in Dragon's Dogma 2 The Caged Magistrate quest is initiated by speaking with Capitan Brant in the evening or night at The Stardrop Inn, found in the Merchant Quarter of Vernworth. Brant feels that Magistrate Waldhar's […]
Dragon's Dogma 2 features many armor pieces that allow players to make their Arisen and Pawns look great while increasing stats. While the possible combinations are fewer than in the original game, there are still plenty of customization possibilities to make characters stand out. One thing that many consider an issue in the original game and its Dark Arisen re-release is the inability to hide the helmet or head armor, forcing players to unequip any head gear to be able to look at their characters' faces. Is it any different in Dragon's Dogma? Let's find out. Can You Hide Your […]
At the start of your adventure in Dragon's Dogma 2, you can choose between only four of the ten Vocations in the game, but it doesn't take too long to unlock two additional Vocations that are incredibly fun to play: the Warrior and the Sorcerer. How to Unlock the Warrior and the Sorcerer Vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2 Before you can unlock the Warrior and Sorcerer Vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2, you must progress through the main story, complete the In Dragon's Wake quest, and reach the city of Vernworth. Once you have access to the capital, head over to […]
There's great news for gamers interested in playing Dragon's Dogma 2 without having a beefy PC: NVIDIA has just announced that CAPCOM's open world game will be available at launch via its GeForce NOW cloud platform. Despite the fact that the previous installment is supported on GeForce NOW, the same was far from a given for the sequel. While the Japanese publisher has agreed to add games like Exoprimal, Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7, and Devil May Cry 5 to GFN, Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 are still nowhere to be seen, and the same goes for […]
A new Dragon's Dogma 2 ray tracing comparison video was shared online, highlighting how the game's implementation is far from being the best we have seen recently. The comparison, which was put together by ElAnalistaDeBits, highlights how ray tracing brings the most marked differences in interiors and dark areas. In well-lit areas, on the other hand, the differences are very limited and are definitely not worth the performance impact. ElAnalistaDeBits also shared earlier today another Dragon's Dogma 2 comparison video that highlights the massive animation and visual improvements over the original version of the game. You can check out this […]
Dragon’s Dogma 2 has arrived, and the game is a bit of beast on pretty much any hardware you’ll play it on. Not only is it a “dynamic” 30fps on current-gen consoles (in other words, often under 30fps) but not even a high end PCs are free from troubles – Wccftech’s reviewer Alessio Palumbo had issues despite rocking an RTX 4090 and a Ryzen 7800X3D. A lack of promised DLSS 3 at launch also means there are limited ways to smooth over the problems. Thankfully, it seems Capcom is aware of the issues, and is vowing improvements. That said, those […]
