★ FIGHT! CORPORATE RATING VS AI VERDICT ★
[ THE UNFILTERED LOG ]
Dragon's Dogma 2's Dark Arisen expansion has triggered a full-blown community schism: the positive camp is mainlining pure copium, spamming 'THE WIND IS PUSHING ME' lyrics and declaring Kento Kinoshita the second coming of Christ, while the negative camp is review-bombing with unhinged rage over stutter-fest performance, deleted save files, and broken PS5 controller support. The base game's launch backlash is being retroactively forgiven by lore-brained Arisen who see this DLC as divine redemption, but the technical disaster is so severe that even the most loyal pawns are refunding. It's a masterclass in Capcom's signature move: fix the game two years later, charge full price, and let the fanbase gaslight itself into calling it a masterpiece.
