Some fat autistic Ausie lady (possible troon) called Infinite Cringe. Tried to become a Monster Hunter channel after DD2 flopped and was universally hated but had a recent meltdown and posted a goodbye video on her YouTube channel where she basically blames the fans for the game being forgoten and the channel being dead.

It was exactly everything I wanted from a sequel and nothing more. I played it during a week off from work and felt the same feelings I felt when playing DD1 for the first time and exploring Gransys, it was absolutely uncanny and utterly amazing.

Similar to DD, this is something that will stay with me forever. I am truly glad I can still enjoy games for what they are.

>>689337996
Nah it didn't "flop", but 3 million is on the very low end for an RPG from a big company. The recent FF did about the same and they considered that an absolute disaster.

They had so much hype fpr DD2 pre-launch but the barebones state of the game completely killed all potential for post launch growth. If they bothered to put in some effort into enemy variety, a better non-static enemy spawn system, more unique gear as rewards for exploration etc and actually finished the MQ... the game would be in a much better state both in terms of sales but also player reception.

The game wasn't a loss, but regardless, it's likely trying to get in more sales, as they were underwhelming, yes, and also in preparation for the expansion.

considering the fact the game isn't a mainstream name like elder scrolls and shit. sounds like it did as expected to my ears

that's probably because of what a legendary name final fantasy always has been, which means they're willing to dump more money into its development than usual and shit
>the barebones state of the game completely killed all potential for post launch growth
iirc i found even dragons dogma 1 to be barebones without its dlc
>If they bothered to put in some effort into enemy variety, a better non-static enemy spawn system
i think dragons dogma 1 suffered from the same issues. but that's expected considering it was from like 2010 or some shit

i don't remember relying on exploration for gear in dragons dogma 1. i think i bought my gear from the "masterworks all, can't get it wrong" dude

>>
>>689339321
>how much are they paying you? Are you still mad that we made your game flop?

Given I like ARPGs and fantasy games, and that includes Souls, and Dogma, I am going to have a natural inclination to defend stuff I like. Plenty of people defend underrated or lesser received works, especially if they like them, who would've guessed?

>what kind of cope is this? they're not going to make an expansion for a failure. Talk about stages of grief. I guess if you give them another $70 the game might get good this time! LOL.

Given Capcom had 6 months in order to 'save' face on the game, the game getting a secondary and larger marketing push now (near the end of the year) is suggestive of some major DLC announcement (not to mention class rebalances, new content, the cover armor being added, etc.)

DD2 is a decent game. Its biggest issues are performance and DD1/Dark Arisen existing.
>>
DD2 is a bad game because it feels like they didn't even build on DD1. It feels like they looked at the blueprints that led to vanilla DD1 being built, tried it again, and stopped well before implementing it all AGAIN, but in an even worse way. Like literally zero experience from making the first game went into improving the sequel and parts were actively worse, nevermind in comparison to Dark Arisen.
>>
>>689341410
You won't get any sincere discourse, so I'll just spoonfeed you.

DD2 is a 7 out of 10, I like it, but its issues are:

>Low equipment variety, further exacerbated by how linear its progression is, 90% of gear is worthless due to how much stronger end-game stuff is relative to early-game stuff.
>Enemy variety is kinda crap, made further worse by the fact that enemy density is so high (encounters with groups every 5 feet.)
>CC/Stun/Knockdown is out of contol, and you flop all around and it's really fucking annoying, when grabbed there is no way to escape grabs, unlike 1.
>Battahl is very underdeveloped, and should've had more activities to do, and worldbuilding.
>MSQ isn't bad, but very strange in how fragmented it is, even side quests like the Phantom Oxcart are part of it and flesh it out (quests people are unlikely to do.)
>Unmoored World is very cool, but the lack of a proper final boss is tragic.
>The Dragon while intentionally weak due to the meta-narrative is still far too disappointing of an encounter, especially after 1 and Greg.

Big fixes would be more convenient travel (but don't go too far.) More enemy variety, lower enemy density, make enemies stronger, more gear, or some kind of horizontal progression, make weaker stuff more useful, hard mode, and a snow region. Bring back all monsters from 1 and DA, and distribute them well, even if it doesn't 100% make sense.
>>
>>689341410
the biggest issue the severe lack of content in every aspect, while charging $70 and having useless mtx shoved into it like a cherry on top.

non-contrarians still had other RPGs like ER & BG3 fresh in their minds when DD2 launched, which both had far, FAR more content will costing less. It's no wonder the sales for DD2 dropped dead straight after launch. The fact that the hardcores ignore this and keep comparing it to DD1, not even DD:DA, is very telling (and a massive fucking COPE). It's been over a decade, Sequels are supposed to get better and build upon what came before instead of making the same mistakes AGAIN.
>>
>>689342076
And a proper final boss.
>>
>>689342162
>non-contrarians still had other RPGs like ER & BG3 fresh in their minds when DD2 launched, which both had far, FAR more content will costing less.

More or less this, I would say I prefer Dogma over Souls, but ER is simply content-packed and full of stuff to do, and for a lower price point. And BG3 is God's gift to mankind with no flaws or issues whatsoever because people didn't get past Act 1 and just gloss over stuff like Gale wanting to fuck you despite only knowing him for 3 days and being nice to people. But it came out at a bad time and really just had bad priorities, especially the physics engine.

Tried to replay it when they said there was a performance update like 2 days ago, it still runs like shit, I think it actually runs worse, there is a new stuttering I get sometimes when even on the main menu when its showing the maps in the background. DD deserved better, even if the game ran well it is so underwhelming. It actually did damage to DD going forward in my opinion, as I have no further interest in DD at this point if they were to make more, not unless the DLC is something incredible and turns everything around.

They did that survey when DD2 came out about what people want in the game, and it honestly seems like they ignored it when they added a fucking casual mode and there has been no major updates at all, and the game still runs poorly. Im really hoping that they are just packing everything into a DLC that will also revamp the base game like DDDA did. If I dont hear anything but praise for the DLC when it happens Im just done with DD, I have Monster Hunter and many other games like this that are better realized. I dont even hate the game or think its bad, its just incredibly mid. TGS is at the end of the month, and with the update and sale it might be an attempt to raise awareness for an announcement, then again, if that was the case they would wait till closer to TGS to do it...hope is the first step on the path to dissapointment

No, if you didn't do the annoying quest to get the gold idol(which most people didn't) the best weapons would be found as random loot on chests in the overworld and then at the everfall.

Fuck off faggot. I played DD base game and just the base game right before playing DD2 and it was still a much better experience. The core gameplay is at best a sidegrade with the changes made to combat and movement(personally I think the hit effects are a straight downgrade and the parkour got lamer), the vocations are arguably worse, the characters are much less memorable, the monster roster is technically larger by less than a handful but the larger monsters are all slower and non-threatening as early as level 40(DD1 only really got easy at level 80 and that's well into NG+) AND the new monsters are barely utilized so effectively you're still fighting the same chimera, cyclops and ogre 90% of the game. The soundtrack which was one of the coolest around for a medieval RPG completely lost character and is just a generic orchestra with no memorable melodies or callbacks to the first game. And of course they took no measures at all to address complaints about how the RPG aspects in the first games were implemented, including the retarded damage calculation system. Despite all this, the core is still like DD so the game is decent, but after 12 years I expected much more. And yes I'm made they removed the option to make short characters.

On top of that, original DD had a big random factor to the loot you'd get from chests so your experience wasn't always the same. You'd know you'd get something good, but not sure what. It gave a reason to redo places after some time had passed.

In DD2 all the loot if fixed souls style, except it's nearly all completely underwhelming or outright useless as you just buy the best gear in the shops.

I had something similar, its just so underwhelming. I bought pizza and shit, got to Vermund and realized the game just felt completely off. Though I got farther than that I still havent finished it
>explore
>find dungeon/hidden area
>expect something cool
>"RC" or "wakestone"
Like that mini dungeon in the elf area and the volcanic island started to give me hope we were going to get an actual dungeon with something that you havent seen before, but the dungeon is empty, has nothing in it and at the end its an enemy youve been wasting with ease. Cant even play dressup, theres less options that before. It sounds silly but I remember playing RE4 and seeing the knights armour enemies and thinking "man I cant wait for DD2, look how good this stuff looks with the lighting reflecting off them and how it all layers like real armour" and there is nothing even close to thatr in DD2, everything looks overdesigned and there is little variety.
>4 surcoat of different colors in DD1
>ONE in DD2.
WHYYYY. Why does the game have less customization and look WORSE than DD1 aesthetically with its armours.

No, I mean like Concord that never even got over 1000 concurrent Steam players and died in less than a month. Even now you've got people hoping for an expansion/DLC and I'd argue this thread was made because of that.

Probably some kind of meta-narrative kind of thing, I think that while laziness is a factor, it's also I think Itsuno thinking the plot was more clever or self-aware than it actually is (although I think the plot in DD2 is interesting in some surprising ways, just it shouldn't have been such to the detriment of a proper conclusion and end-game.)
>>
>>689347085
Dual weapons, six skill slots, more armor and clothing slots, Ur-Dragon raid boss and dynamic loot pools for chests are all things that started with DD1
>>

what even is the plot of dd2? gimme a qrd. is grigori back?

>>689347484
The Ur-Dragon is literally a Greg reskin.

DD1 also has the most barren open-world in existence, with around 5 dungeons and a singular biome. That's why 2 is a side-grade, it improves in some aspects, but is weaker in others, or not substantial enough of an upgrade.
>>
>>689326789
I expected more customization, not less. Not only is there less armours, they are now more class specific, and they didnt really do anything like layering or pallete swaps, everyone fucking looks the same because there is no options
The map is bigger, but its also empty of anything interesting.
Though secondary quests are great and better written than the main quest.
The main quest is now a complete fucking disaster in terms of writing.
Still no difficulty options, this was a massive problem with DD1 too.
Wanted more skills, not less, without 3 extra slots the more niche skills are never used becuase they are too situation specific
Pawns are kindof boring now
Added a pawn infection system that feels poorly implemented. Like there shouldve been enemy pawns, as suggested by teh very end of the game the pawns turn into drakes(?) but we never fight an enemy like that in the game itself, they did nothing interesting with the pawns

I have no idea how anyone could be pleased with DD2, its not a bad game but my god is it one of the most underwhelming and dissapointing games Ive ever played, hands down, I cant think of anything comparable.

Fuck Capcom. They make this huge open world and fill it with characters just to slap players with their meta-narrative dick so they can make fun of me for being invested into their game.

The DRAGON'S DOGMA is a cycle, but it's starting to fall apart, so mystery nigga, who isn't supposed to be interfering, starts interfering with it to keep it going. The DRAGON'S DOGMA is meant to protect the world.
At the end, mystery nigga turns into a dragon, and you kill him. The world is finally released from DRAGON'S DOGMA, and fate is put back into the hands of humanity. (You) got seriously wounded during the final scene, and (You)r fate is unknown.
The end.

I dont think I get the story in DD2, DD1s was straightforward. Who the fuck was the guide? I was expecting a seneschal fight with him but he just fucks off.
>save the world by killing the dragon
>"Nah the loop still happens of dragon and arisen"
ok so whats so bad about that now? I killed the dragon and taker the throne, the dragon is dead, the previous guy was a false arisen, so Im not just replacing the previous guy so what the fuck was the problem with just accepting this reality, what is the downside?
>"heres the real world, everyone is going to die now"
>save them all
>"the world is still going to die, heres an even bigger dragon, one you cant fight, its just a cutscene, also youre pawn turns into a shadow dragon for some reason, thats never explained"
>kill it
>everyone is saved, you are dead
Huh? Why did I do that, the cycle didnt even fucking end the dragon will return apparently. The only difference between the real ending and the one where you take the throne is that YOU FUCKING LIVE at the end. Where was the seneschal fight, where do dragons come from now that the seneschal isnt a thing anymore, becuase the dragons were made by arisen who beat the dragon, but lose to the seneschal, where do they come from now. Why was there a ghost arisen just sitting at the bottom of the ocean who turns into a sword? DD2 fucking sucks man, explain the story to me, I dont get the point.

The autists grinding the Ur-Dragon were not why DD2 was made, that's a bizarre and retarded claim to make.
>because you can't refute the fact that there's almost nothing worth mentioning in GTA5's northern half of the map?
Because GTAV has nothing to do with this and it's a hyperbolic statement, but the fact remains that the sandbox/world in DD1 is very empty and unfinished.
>>
>>689348603
So you didn't play the game then? Thanks for verifying.

It gets way too meta. The brine that prevents anyone from crossing the seas? Thats because there is nothing beyond the seas. Only the game world exists.

You poor child. NONE of the characters in DD2 matter. They are cardboard cutouts that serve to push the player towards the dragon.
>Brant has a subplot about retaking the throne. Taking the throne is the false ending.
>Disa wants her son on the throne instead of you. Her son wants to suck your cock so its a moot point.

>Then why was it made?
DD1 was a niche game that has a cult following, and sold better and better as time progressed, especially due to the PC port, and character customization and pawn system. The game gained notoriety over time and that's why 2 was greenlit, not to mention Itsuno's desire to make it as his "dream game" after DMCV wrapped up.
>except for the claim that "DD1 also has the most barren open-world in existence"
It's a hyperbolic statement and bit of rhetoric for exaggerative/emotional effect.
>so essentially worthless in the arena of actual discussion
No shit, why are you zeroing in on it? Are you autistic? Do you not understand rthetoric or emotional expression and hyperbole.
>This game is shit.
Is it literally shit? It's an expression.
>>
>>689349539

i.e. a bunch of "autists" really loved the game and people took notice

I see that none of the discourse surrounding this game is genuine.
>>
>>689324591
Wow, I didn't believe that I would see a game do so shit. Capcom spent 100s of millions on a scam that was so bad it caused the director to be fired and all the shills to kill themselves. I really hope the same thing happens to fromsoft so we don't have to hear about eldenshit on this board anymore.
>>
>>689350218
>i.e. a bunch of "autists" really loved the game and people took notice
Yes, but this has nothing to do with the Ur-Dragon, or at the very least, it's the smallest part of why the game gained a following. People kept playing the game to make different characters, and various pawns, with the combat, story and other elements being secondary and tertiary to that. The character creation was the primary catalyst in the game gaining a cult following (and the fact it was another open-world ARPG released around the time of Skyrim and Dark Souls), not due to a shit MMO grindfest.
>yes we've already established that it's a useless statement in the world of substantive discussion
Rhetoric and emotional expression have been used in debate and discourse for thousands of years, we're human beings, and emotional creatures, and that's how we generally communicate, again, it sounds like you have autism. It's a strange thing to focus in on.
>see above, you've effectively destroyed your own position
It's not objectively the most barren, empty world in all of video games, so it's then it's not actually a barren, empty world?

The open world is barren despite the fact that there are likely other games with even emptier open worlds.

This does not mean that the open world in DD1 is not barren. The open world in DD1 can still be empty (bad) despite the fact that there games with emptier (worse) open worlds. The usage of hyperbolic language does not refute any point I make just because of the aforementioned fact.
>>
>>689352491
They thought it was a feature. Ironically the only character that matters is your pawn, the canon soulless flesh robot.
>>
>>689352718
The usage of hyperbolic language is to emphasize (for emotional effect and impct, as a tool of rhetoric) that the open world of DD1 is empty and bad.

It's like I am talking to an autistic 10 year old.
>>
>>689352718
Then why not say that instead of making yourself look like a hysterical and biased? It's really hard to take anyone seriously if their immediate criticisms of something is "_____ IS THE WORST EXAMPLE OF _____ EVER" and then they have to slowly backpedal on their statement

It's crazy. DD1 didn't have an amazing story or anything, but at least you had a moment of Julian and Mercedes dueling each other with world building of foreign countries and personal insecurities. Or saw how insane the current king was and then why along with how pathetic he was for thinking you took the dragon's deal, with real consequences since the guards try and have you killed from then on.

DD2 has less attempt made on characterization than most NES RPGs.
