No GOG release any time soon if ever. That's just how it is, not enough money to be made here besides a DRM-free requirement. Maybe GOG can save up millions of dollars over the years to "minimum guarantee" a release here in the future or something like that. (Would people really want all that money to just go to a single one release?)

Sadly, you're probably right.

I'd planned on completely bowing out of this console generation, but if Dragon's Dogma 2 doesn't release on GOG or PS4, I may have to seriously think about whether to buy it from Steam... or break down and get a PS5. *grumble*

C'mon GOG... I really don't want to give Steam or Sony my money.

That depends on: where else would it go otherwise? If it would be into further updating (meaning: wrecking) GOG Galaxy, then might as well put it towards just a single release.

Or if it would go to another useless purpose such as that, then it would also be better to spend it on a single game.

yes it fails as a trailer imo and just looks like they gave 1 a graphics nip and tuck... i mean which ending is cannon and what/ who are we playing as in 2?

will prob grab it on special but not looking forward to it in any way at this point

Hopefully GOG goes out of business so they won't waste money any more. /s

People have mentioned various things they want to see improved around here (to varying degrees of importance). Personally I wouldn't mind most of the profit being spent on "minimum guarantee"ing highly-desired titles, but I also very rarely usually have to deal with the Support bot, bundling issues, website problems, wanting both more and less curation at the same time :P, etc.

Gog is fine [when PR isn't cooking the books] and Galaxy isn't really the issue with Dogma servers but yes... 2nd hand service is the norm now

But usually when GOG thinks they are "improving" things, they are actually, in reality making things much worse.

In addition to the Galaxy 2.0 example, there is also the example of how most GOG sales are now colossally aggravating to navigate, because GOG forces a horrible new format which features intrusive & unwanted pop-ups that go into the customers' face and block the view of the things that they are actually trying to look at, whenever they move their cursor over the games in the sale.

Instead of GOG doing the right thing, which would be quickly to realize that this new sales format is garbage, and reverting back to the previous format which had none of this crap in it and which was at least 100,000x more comfortable to use, GOG instead doubled-down on the horrible new format by continuing to use it, and also adding it to Galaxy 2.0 as well, for which GOG bragged about this new "feature" as if it's a "good" thing in an announcement thread the other month related to its recent inclusion in the newest version of Galaxy.

And remember when GOG totally wrecked the website for the 10th Anniversary in many different ways, all in the name of "improvement," and some of the things they wrecked at that point are still not fixed all these years later, like all reviews on GOG now transforming ampersand symbols into strange characters that the authors of the reviews never actually wrote, but yet which appear in their reviews as if they did write them.

So, examples like all of these ones show that GOG's customers are generally much better off when GOG doesn't try to "improve" things.

The GOG version of the original is lacking some major patches as it is. Crapcom abandoned this place years ago, don't get your hopes up.

Sadly the trailer only shows the new consoles at the end, which is weird as some of the textures look like they are from the end of the PS3 era. Gotta sell those new consoles I guess.

Right now I don't feel the need to get a PS5 as there's nothing interesting to me exclusively on that platform.
Maybe once they've released a PS5 Pro in a year or two I'm going to get one, if the price is right that is.

Exactly. Dragon's Dogma looks like a game that I would enjoy, but I don't want to reward this behaviour.

(I don't want to stay off-topic for too many posts)

You gave a few examples and I get what you're saying, but that doesn't convince me GOG shouldn't try to improve the service. People have complained about numerous things, like lack of Support / the chatbot, and I think GOG should try to fix what gets the most complaints (whether that be using the profit to hire more Support staff, or changing the bot to something else, or whatever).

Years ago GOG changed to allow new games here - not just Good Old - and I think many would see that as an improvement. For all the complaints about Galaxy, and many may well be valid, if GOG hadn't tried to do anything in that category, users wouldn't have the option of things like Achievements or online multiplayer in titles here (I know not every game has them, but without Galaxy, no game would have them here). IIRC (I don't have a source) Galaxy was key in getting some Telltale games here (like TWD), as Telltale wanted feature parity for all users.

I would like to see GOG do some new poll(s) - linked on the front page so many people will see it - like they did back in the day to gather user feedback.

When it came to combat, Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite among action-RPGs. However, story and character interaction was barely there, so I hope the sequel will improve that department.

I would love a GOG release this, along with the many Capcom games already released on PC, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Yeah, sadly I give like 0.1% chance it will land here. Fact that part one is here doesn't mean a jack; just look at Ubisoft, EA, Sony, Konami and others who released something once and forgot GOG's existence.

It looks like Dragon's Dogma 1 was kind of a test for Capcom. There are only two of their titles here on GOG, so they probably tried to release a few games here and abandoned it because the results were rather unpleasant.
