Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Aren't Happy With Enemy Variety
Dragon's Dogma 2 is going down incredibly well with critics and fans alike (aside from on PC where it sits at "Mostly Negative" due to performance issues and MTX). But fans have one big grievance that the community has been complaining about since the first game launched in 2012.

Many are hoping that future DLC will rectify the issue and make the pool of enemies more diverse, while some are even calling for live service-like support to update the base game.
