36.2 Hours

In the beginning much like soooo many others, I was frustrated with the frames, I was frustrated with the micro transactions, I was frustrated with the story too! This was all in the first about 6 hours because all of the controversy was getting to me. But after just thinking for myself, experiencing the game, experiencing the unfolding story, knowing as to why thoust fight. I learned to love it

Much like Dragons Dogma 1 I was SEVERELY struggling! But after getting used to everything, getting used to it all the game, the story, the combat, the world is so incredibly well done! I have a 2060 super with a ryzen 9 4000 series so my average framerate was from 30-45 dropping to the lowest of 25 in the maintown of Veremunt but for some reason ONLY in that kingdom, everywhere else I didnt have any sort of issue. Maybe its because in the main town there is TOO MANY NPC's! But everywhere else its moderate or better. But in any case I was able to play absolutely fine! I finished the story, I broke the cycle and faced the Dragons Dogma! Despite of the technical issues, I didnt encounter any game breaking bugs! No crashes! None of it!

If youre afraid of your rig not running it, wait for some better optimization

If youre confident and want to experince the game, go for it! You will not regret it! Just ignore the microtransactions because its NEVER in your face about it! Yeah its crappy and vocalize that, never support it but playing the game you can happily ignore it

I give the game an 8/10 with better optimization it will be a 9 or a 10 but as it stands, only the mid and high rigs can run this lower ends will for sure struggle with the dang drm thats in this.

So, why does thoust fight? Is it to reclaim thy stolen heart? Or to reclaim, thy throne. Will you leave this life in thine claws? Or stand and fight! The time has for thou to make thy choice is come. Show, the path thou wouldst walk!

Fight, and thy lie is forfeit. Thou wilt face the dragon's, Dogma

It's alright I guess

Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number. This game, although I only played for about a few hours is significanly longer than the last one and provides us with a bit more story. It gives us more variety that we can play as so many characters and each one character/group has thier own story. If I was a person that worked at a place of IGN or anything like that I would suggest it immediatly. The game has more gore than last time and provides us with an even greater challenge. So i have a question for all the Hotline Miami fans out there: Do you like to hurt other people again?

First Hour: Hmm good so far.
Second Hour: Hey I got armor! Woohoo!
Sixth Hour: Take that penguins!
Tenth Hour: Awesome diamonds!!
Fourtenth Hour: Holy **** I was playing for 14 hours?
