Director reflects on Dragon’s Dogma 2: ‘I didn’t make a Nintendo game designed to be liked by everyone’https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/director-reflects-on-dragons-dogma-2-i-didnt-make-a-nintendo-game-designed-to-be-liked-by-everyone/
Pretty based ngl. Game still has way too much cut and rushed content.It's missing the entire final dungeon which is just an elevator ride instead. You keep waiting for the tower to be this crazy cool location and then it's pure ass.Still played for like a good 100+ hours, good combat.
when did you realize that itsuno is a hack?
>>719316235He's not though. He's made a bunch of really great games. He doesn't hit it right every time, but I don't any game director does that. And if they do they're just being safe and formulaic.
>>719315773I still don't get what was the point of carrying all the shit ideas from 1. Like, the UI. Literally why
>>719315773>his game bombs>starts to cope by shitting on nintendoA true snoy.
>>719315773Tranny discord thread >>719316235>>719316373>>719316386
>>719315773Why is this controversial? He is right. Nintendo is a family, all ages company. Their games ARE designed to be widely appealing and liked by everyone.
>>719315773>realize the game is badly designed and overpromised>whooppsie dooopsie, time to leave the company>you know, my game design is not for everyone
>>719316235>quote is how he doesn't make a game that appeals to everyone>poster complains it doesn't appeal to themJust play something else, the game simply wasn't made for you>>719316373The UI? Of anything you could have an issue with you bring up the UI?
I play Elemental Hero Potential Man in Defense mode. I set two face-down cards and end my turn.
>>719315773Itstuno is a hack. DD2 was criticized even from fans of the first game and now he is deflecting name dropping Nintendo kek
It didn't even appeal to fans of DD based on how hype died immediately lol.
but who liked DD2?
>>719317115Itsuno. He made a game for himself. He's a true artist, like Kojima.
>>719315773Shitsuno the Potential Man is finally free from Capcom holding him back. His AAA new IP Action game funded by unending Tencent money will finally show the doubters what his TRUE VISION is capable of.
>>719315773Capcom devs returning to 2010-era cope"We can't compete with Western FPS" has become "We can't compete with Nintendo"
When I played original Dragon's Dogma, it felt genuinely amazing. Like yeah, the game did have lots of rough edges, but it genuinely did lots of interesting things, and even without hearing about all of the planned content you had feeling of "Oh man, if only the devs could expand on this...!"So of course with sequel you're going to expect that those elements that felt lacking would be improved on.But DD2 genuinely just felt like more of the same. Yeah, some stuff was improved... But it genuinely was disappointing.
>>719316235Itsuno made the best DMC games and created DD and DD2, both excellent games.>>719316465Looney troons keep the DD torch alive in their own way. They're usefull. Also, it's funny when you notice how artifical these threads are. They start one, the same group of troons flood it with the same "arguments", images and so on. Then they move back to Discord to decide other game to shit on. At least they'll die soon.>>719317115Me. 90 hours first playthrough. 240 hours clocked on total. It's not a game for everyone as he stated. Not a game for you as well.
Why is every Capcom thread just this.It's so forced.
>>719315773Yeah he's officially senile, let's hope Dragon's Dogma gets a mentally stable director in the future
>>719317664It's the looney troons discord brigade. They tend to do that for games that are popular on /v/.
>>719315773The important part is>I know its a piece of shit but it sold well so idgaf lmao
>>719317746after this fiasco there's won't be another Dragon's Dogma until some executive at Capcom HQ randomly pulls it out of the IP bargain bit in 20 and releases a Remaster of the first game
>>719316373UI is actually worse. The map is almost unreadable
>>719317664like clockwork a new thread with the same replies will go up when this one hits page 10
>>719318082Given how they always have the exact same point and can barely talk about the games beyond a surface level, its really not surprising anymore.It's becoming a better indicator that a game is worth playing if you have a set of people who make it their (unpaid) job to try and badmouth it
>>719318082Calling DD2 popular seems to be an exaggeration given that the whole board was full with threads on announcement but a year after release it was forgotten.
It's always great to see those blasthavers posting screenshots of these super secret "discord" pics but never post the link to these rooms or whatever they are.
>>719318651You can say the same about a lot of singleplayer releases. They come out. There's no constant stream of updates and endless amount of threads on what's next or the need to talk about them constantly. You play it, have whatever opinion of you time and play something else.The forced nature of a lot of these threads is bringing up news about the game or capcom instead of people talking about things within the game, mostly because the latter requires them to have actually played it.
>>719318651DD2 threads lasted for a good while, but troons made it unbearable. And now the troons carry the torch by keeping them alive. Funny how it works>>719318824Because that pic isn't mine but they do show you they exist and you can easily spot their presence by their behavior. But of course, you can link us the place if you want. By the way i had a blast with DD2, just so you know.
>>719315773Then for who was it made for? While I'd rather have a game director with this mindset than someone making slop "for everyone", people who didn't like DD1 didn't play it and most complains I saw were from people who liked DD1.

>>719315773he could've atleast made a game liked by some
>My game was shit but you weren't supposed to like it hahaSad cope.
Yeah, but I would still rather play DD2 than FFXV. DD2 might have been a huge disappointment, but FFXV was objective dogshit.
>>719320808works for Kojima and his drones
I liked it. I'd like a DLC but I still had fun
>>719318651DD isn't popular but Crapcom is, thus DD is targeted by the looney troons too.
>>719315773Weird since I think Nintendo games are shit
>>719320870let me know when kojima decides to make a rpg based on dnd with character classes etc not just military job and delivery man
>>719315773Nint0ddl3rs BTFO'd
>>719317115I like it. Im also incredibly disappointed by it.
>>719316235Itsuno san’s legacy includes massive blast hits such as CvS2, DMC series and DD2 ( Luv this game is such a blast). show him respect you mongrel, can’t even imagine what a turd nugget like you considers good vidya.KYS
>>719316235dmc 2
But why do those discord people do it? Do they just sit all day on their servers plotting to fucking shitpost of all things? Don't they have jobs or actual hobbies? Friends and family to spend time with?Anyway, I was kind of let down on my first playthrough, specially after reaching the desert. The first hours exploring the map were a lot of fun and the new vocations are great. The more I reflect on the game, the more I want to start a new playthrough and truly train my pawn.
>>719316235dmc2 you dont do dmc2 then 3 and be fully forgotten then dmc4 shit happened
>It was shit on purpose, even diehard DD fans being disappointed with it was intentional All according to keikaku.
>Everyone I don't like is Discordabsolutely mindbroken
>>719315773>‘I didn’t make a Nintendo game designed to be liked by everyone’ ?????????????The main complaint is that the game is easy as shit
>>719315773I resent Dragon's Dogma 2 not because Itsuno made it niche, but rather because he actively spat on the fans who liked the mechanics from 1.He removed vocations, he removed skills and lowered the amount of active skills from 4 to 6, he removed spells and status effects, he removed animation cancelling and animating canceling skills like instant reset, he made enemies noticeably less aggressive and far easier, he put a timer on the post game, he refused to put in a UR Dragon style community raid boss, he shrank the FOV to the point where you could barely see your surroundings, he tied to inclinations to voice types, he simplified and dumbed down the equipment system, and he made inventory management worse (where the fuck is the button to deposit EVERYTHING in a category? 1 / Dark Arisen had this...)Dragon's Dogma 2 is a fundamental misunderstanding of what made the series so beloved in the first place. And I want to hang every single retard who says 2 is 1 but improved. Shame you can't call them out though without them accusing you of being a shitposter from Discord.
>>719315773And that’s why no one will remember your games.
>>719326893well personally I had an absolute blast personally playing DD2 and DD DA personally
>>719326502>Everyone who spams this same thread day after day because they're still butthurt that the game sold millions and their entire shazam campaign got btfo is discordtranniesCorrect.
>>719316276lol
>>719328964I swear most games he gets to make get half way through production and capcom pushes the release to next week so it's either hastily wrap it up or leave the game unfinished.DMC4 was definitely a sign of a game being rushed.
>>719328964Shitty take. If the replay value of the game is high, it doesn't matter how short it is, because you'd play it again. It's not a walking simulator that'll be done once you finish it once.
>>719315773yeah he designed a shit game to be liked by no one.
>>719329784its a niche game bro you wouldn’t get it bro Itsuno san himself said he didntmake it for normies so understandable you didnt like it bro me personally I had a blast
>>719319662but dmc3...
