>>749093179aaaaaaand it's slop
it is actually, finishing my review rn even without making it through the endless maze
>>749093419Post a screenshot of a new skill description.
>>749093179I actually thought DD2 was pretty decent, and about what I expected it to be.Anyone that thought a modern game would have the soul of the original, were always delutional.Dark Arisen 2 will be the same.Nowhere near the original, but still okay. /v/ will of course say it's the worst game ever made.
>>749093250literally all it needs to shine is more enemy variety and engaging combat scenarios and it'd be perfect
>>749093594Just settle for “trust me dude” since they've placed pixel-sized micro-TMs everywhere for new content. I'm not going to risk my job by breaking the NDA just be content with knowing that “the wind is pushing me” part II :^)
>>749093179Just needs a gameplay loop so there is a reason for the community to form up and share pawns. That was the most damning aspect of DD2, without BBI and less customization for characters it meant people werent actually coming together to share shit and talk about stuff. So as long s they have a gameplay loop where you can ask people to share their pawn and do some runs, I think Ill be happy.
>>749093806How's the remix sound?
I didn't even finish my first playthrough of the base game yet and I'm looking to start a new one and start minmaxing stats because that's the only way this game is interesting in the long run.
I was going to start a fresh file but I procrastinated too long and forgot how much game there is. I might just go back in on my 100% playthrough I left sitting in post-game two years ago.
Do I start a new game plus, and just rush to the new DLC area? Or do I start a completely new game? I really like my pawn and would like to do a new adventure with her again but also I'm maxed with equipment and don't want to re-learn all the vocation skills and passive again.If these fuckers would have just released hard mode with the fucking DLC this wouldn't even be a question, but I guess so many people dropped game on release that hard mode isn't a priority?
>>749094015It's the same as the DLC sold for a few dollars plus the new tracks for the dungeons and the new region. In my opinion, it's much, much better than 70% of the original tracks in vanilla DD2. There's one track in particular that will likely be a favorite for many,, it repeats the first two minutes of the orchestral section but this time with just the choir and it gets progressively louder and angrier. The first time at the end of the battle I paused it and smoked a cigarette
>>749094237Hard mode is coming with the DLC, they prioritized it after enough people screamed at them about it.
>>749094265>it after enough people screamed at them about it.I mean it's basic fucking logic for the people that actually beat the game would need a proper step up in difficulty or something to motivate them to revisit a $40 or $50 DLC. I'm sure I'm not the only people to express confusion at how to handle a re-play of the game. People shouldn't have to "scream" for stuff like this.
>>749093179What if the game is good?
>>749094631I mean to reply to this anon>>749094364sorry still waking up and need coffee
>>749094364The balance is a bit off, and there are some bugs, but they've asked us not to mention it or to wait for the (release candidate) day-one patch coming in the next 24–48 hours which includes the fix. Basically, as it stands now, most mice will one-shot you 100% of the time and sometimes, if you get hit by a smol ice goblin you'll fly off into the stratosphere for 1–2 minutes
>>749094631>People shouldn't have to "scream" for stuff like this.Well they did, and it worked. I'm not talking shit that's just how it happened. And you can probably blame the japs for the devs not initially prioritizing it cause according to a recent dev comment, they want more ease and convenience while westerners wanted more difficulty and friction.
>>749094237You're fucked and out of time. You should have a save on new game + with port crystals at 7 of the new dungeons, 2 of them marked with pins on the map, 2 port crystals at the dragon guy and the dwarf respectively and the last one in your pack. You should also be at exactly level 40 with at least one of every piece of weapon and armor in the game. I am prepped, you are not. Deal with it.
>>749094664It's more than good but only if you keep your expectations in check. Anyone expecting a cure for HIV will be very disappointed, but let's just say that if it had come out like this right from the start everyone would have hailed it as a great sequel. Rumor has it that, depending on sales (they're expecting one-third of the vanilla game's sales), they may continue to support the game for some time to come
>>749094973Dude fuck off with your crypt bullshit of "trust me dude." If this is your angel of shill on /v/, it's awful and insufferable
Should I make a kitty as my next character?I don't even know if there's any benefits to it other than probably getting to go to Battahl more easily early.
>>749094364Is that going to be new file only or can I just turn it on?
>>749093620Felt the same way you did until I reached the Unmoored World. It was much more soulful than DD1’s grind 20 wakestones post game. Actually made you feel like it was the end of the world. Realizing the Rivage Elder was right all along was kino too.
just gonna continue on hard mode with my level 70 or something character at ng+not replaying that mediocre as fuck base game
>>749095245They already confirmed you can just turn it on at any time. IF you want to revert back to Normal however you'll need to do a NG+ cycle.
>>749095245You can just turn it on.
>>749094973>dude trust me broatleast post a screenshot wearing the pre-order armor killing some goblins in melve or something if you want people to believe your bs
>>749095186Do it for the novelty, because I'm sure most people don't.
You retards just need to let go of the expectations you've been holding onto for over a decade that were all based on a concept art slide deck. There won't be a moon dungeon or a gorillion new vocations, but it will probably have some fun enemies to beat up and decent dungeons. The focus they seem to be putting on enemy variety and difficulty already makes up for the biggest flaw in the base game to me, which was that you spent about half the game killing goblins that can't touch you past the opening hour or two
>>749095180You shut the fuck up retard, I already paid for the fucking thing so he’s not shilling anything I haven’t already paid for, if this nigga is right cool, if not whatever fuck it and move on
Is hard mode going to be too difficult for a completely fresh run?
>>749095786Only until you get good.
>>749095918So it's going to be like DD1.
>>749095786yes, you will be raped
>>749095956It’s sounding like you won’t become as busted as quickly as you could in DD1 Hard Mode
I'm gonna blast so hard bros.
shaved my legs for this one, can’t wait
>>749095981DD2 makes you rely on your pawns a lot more because quite a few enemies can stun you for 10+ seconds whereas you could mostly solo everything in DD1. Unfortunately, the recent patch made them retarded.
>trust me bro
Oh leaker, if you’re so great, tell me that they put the Hydra back in with his literacy and threat letter writing abilities still intact.
>>749094237I remember an interview quote roughly saying that the Hard Mode DLC region would feel appropriate for lvl200s, but that's to be seen. Last I heard, Hard will release same day as DLC. If you wanna see how well your current character and pawn fare against the DLC, you can always try that recently added SHINChimera fight quest, 'Ware the Corrupted Beasts, you get from your Vernworth home. Nigga is overtuned as fuck and I hope an honest preview of how ballbusting the DLC will be it won't>I really like my pawn and would like to do a new adventure with her again but also I'm maxed with equipment and don't want to re-learn all the vocation skills and passive again.If you're a PCfag just mod that shit if you go that routeIt takes a moment to install Fluffy Mod Manager, REframework, and any of the editor or cheat mods, and just set your Discipline gain to something wacky for a bit.
>discordtranny clinging to the last vestige of sanity before ultimate dogma 2 drops in 4 days
waiting to start a fresh level 1 hard mode run. Hopefully it also gets rid of the eternal ferrystone as well.
>>749093179you don't trust capcom?
Moon status?
>>749096227Seconded. Also, did they keep the attack where it swallows you and you slowly slide down its throat? That’d be really neat, ha ha.
>>749096496It's in.
>>749096496REaching for it with the REach for the Moon Engine™
>>749096295>lvl 200that would be insaneI'm not even lvl 100 after exhausting unmoored world in NG
>>749093620>/v/ will of course say it's the worst game ever made.I can see them changing their minds now that the game got more optimization. A lot of faggots here are the fox and the grape and will only hate if they can't play the game. This happens all too often.
>>749093806Kys faggot
Please add Monster Hunter styled gear loadouts already. I want to be able to save a loadout for each vocation and then easily recall it at the guild. It would make switching vocations much smoother.
>>749096581If you're lying I'm going to Savage Lash your balls.
>>749096775This would be goodIt's weird for a game that's so fixated on class-specific gear to have no load out system whatsoever and just make you switch shit manually
late-game dlc is super sweaty. elden ring tier but if designed by korean mmo grindsloppers.
>>749096915I'm very happy for you to see the final game when it's out.
>>749096043>bulgeThat's a boy isn't it
Im in for the long haul I have 600 hours on the base game. I deleted my save. I will do 3 playthroughs at once so that I have my 3 main pawns on each characters. All 3 games on hard ofc and with SDT mod to block xp gain after level 40 or 50 depending how hard hard mode really is. I ll do the first 3/4th of the main story and all base game side content and then I ll go do the DLC. Looking to put in another 600 hours of unadulterated BLAST-HAVING.
will there be any new sexy armors? All the new armors I seen seem pretty mediocre.
>>749097001For the sake of your balls I hope it's good too
Did they do anything about the minimum height or are dwarves still not possible?
>want to pre-purchase the DLC so I can be a part of the hype train >memories of the DD2 launch are the only thing holding me back Is it worth the possibility of being fooled *twice*?
>>749093179Suckers never learn
>>749097380>starting the game from scratch Zamn, my current file is at the beginning of NG+ after the scorched earth or w/e it was called thing. Haven’t been able to check my pawn’s history in 2 years.

>>749097380>I deleted my savebased. going to avoid 4chan for weeks because the first threads up are going to be faggots rushing through the dlc content to post spoilers.
No mystic knight, no buy.
Thinking about continuing the tradition and getting the sequel on a Nintendo platform once again. How low should I wait for this one to be? I bought the first one for the Switch digital for like $7 and I really liked it.
>>749093179The performance fix actually made me enjoy the game so I have tepid hope.
>>749098701oh shit I gotta try that
>>749098758Play Warfarer, dumbass.
>>749099013NOT mystic knightCompletely inferior experience
I wonder what Hard Mode will be like. It’ll be total crap if it just means I spend more time constantly reviving my Pawns.
>>749098758Real leaker here. It's in.
>>749099060It's identical. Fighter has enchanted riposte, Sorcerer has enchants and prescient bolt, that's the only skill you used on MK anyway.
>>749096930It really should be such a simple thing for them that I'm surprised it hasn't been added already. I'm hoping I'll see it in the DA patch notes.
I’m in the bargaining stage. No Mystic Knight? Sure. Actual Mystic Knight ripostes that don’t suck ass for fighter? Please, please, please, please, please.
>>749099924Yea more ripostes would be nice. I can make shit with Warfarer but I need more stuff to mess with at least.>take all fighter abilities>mage staff secondary, only take one skill for the bubble shields on it. Since the heavy attack has healing built into the class now I get to also heal>so while fighting I play fighter as normal, when support is needed I swap to staff and heal/bubble and do ranged magic damageI can play a paladin now and Im happy, I dont need to take a mage every party compy for support.
>>749093179Already bought the blast preorder edition. Hoping it's good, I enjoyed the base version despite its flaws.
>>749096496Blasted
