Should I purchase Dragon's Dogma 2?

I don't normally buy games on release but I loved DD1 back when it came out, probably sunk a hundred hours into it and another 50 or more after Bitterblack Island released. Pretty sure my computer's strong enough that the performance issues people are bitching about won't matter to me.

How's the sequel hold up? Anyone already give it a try? Only reason I haven't is a deep-rooted distrust for Capcom.
