How is it?
>>728312343Good game on its own but a letdown if you've played the first game
>>728312343DD1 was a 7/10 and DD2 was a 6.5.It's fine, but lacks content. Beautiful world full of nothing. Less enemy variety than DD1 somehow. Less equipment and things to find. Bit of a disappointment.
>>7283123434 skills per vocation, what where they thinking? Play dd1 it's a better game
>>728313862Fuck Itsuno
Fun but disappointing and painfully unfinished. For example the main story feels like it's about 35% complete
>>728312920It's not even a good game on its own. Barren world that barely has anything of substance to find, same few enemy types but recolored mostly, and a shitty ass story.
>>728312920This. It's an great game standalone, just a shit sequel.
no loli no buy
>>728312343While it is true Crapcom can't be relied upon to deliver proper content, fortunately for us the autism of modders can.The first public release of the biggest DD2 mod is finally out today!> Bestiary - Aggressive Enemies and Variantshttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1196https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxppPfgfe7o [Embed]This mod doesn't just simply increase "enemy aggression" and introduce a few new palette swap enemies...It completely overhauls enemy movesets (especially of bosses).The properties of "vanilla" movesets have been heavily modified - attacks generally come out faster, enemies string together more diverse combos, some moves depend on the creature's state, there's entirely new attacks and even extremely rare existing moves are now much more common.The new enemy variants have their own abilities, quirks and even spawn points, not to mention alot of enemy encounters throughout the game world have been changed as well.The purpose of this mod is to make combat more engaging by pushing players to use their full arsenal (including Pawns).As such, some enemies are designed to be much more difficult than their vanilla version, giving their appearance during the game much more weight (look out for Chimeras, they are no longer a pushover and shouldn't be challenged in the early game unless you want to suffer :D).1/2
>>728316327It's also highly recommend to install the other great mods by these two mod authors:> Dullahan - Modular Vocation Overhaulhttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/817> Enemy Resistance Overhaulhttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1079> Lenient stagger and exhaustionhttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/807> Durnehviir - Dynamic Enemy Encountershttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/883> Unofficial Dragon's Dogma 2 Patchhttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1147> Simple Difficulty Tweakshttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1018> Gear Progression Overhaulhttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1171In fact, the first 3 mods are so important that Beastiary has been balanced with them in mind.So you might as well install them anyway, otherwise some attacks and enemies might be a bit overtuned. :Phttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP1SBel6huAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJCh4zaJmqE2/2
>>728316143>Barren world that barely has anything of substance to find, same few enemy types but recolored mostly, and a shitty ass story.So... just like DD:DA? gotcha
>>728312343its a blast
>>728312343only once you complete 70% of the game does the title screen change to dd2 so you are actually playing dd1 its typical jap jibberish and runs like dogshit
>>728316327>>728316414I’m reinstalling DD2
>>728316414NTA but when you use Simple Difficulty Tweaks, maybe consider raising the slider for Knockdown Resistance for enemies, NOT BOSSES. (Personally, I prefer being able to fling enemies into walls as they do to me). This is of course if you haven't installed Lenient stagger and exhaustion.TLDR:Lenient stagger and exhaustion installed? Do nothing. If it isn't installed, consider raising the sliders so you can wallbang enemies relatively early as well.
>>728316327>>728316414does this fix the knockdown stat/mechanic though? i remember that completely ruining the game if you tried playing without any pawns
>>728317443use:> Lenient stagger and exhaustionalso keep in mind what >>728317329 anon said
>>728316826Whatever you say Itsuno
Again, not the anon who gave his fucking kino list. Before the thread dies, also download this one.>No NPC No Enemy.https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/351Contrary to what the title says if you raise the number in the menu to 70~80, enemies and NPCs will not pop in.
>>728312343I liked it enough to 100% it. I think the biggest issue is the lack of enemy variety, fighting the same few enemies throughout the entire game gets really dull by the end of it.
It's fucking awful. They dumbed down and shitcanned just about every mechanic from the first game. It is like a tech demo of DD1.
>>728316327>>728316414These good to use for a first playthrough? Might get the game soon.
>>728316143post hours
>>728312343Abandoned. I guess nowadays Capcom won't do anything but RE, MH and SF without someone pushing for it. Mega man revival probably comes from the top.
>>728320265honestly can't play the game without them anymorethe improvements are too substancialsee, vanilla DD2 is mechanically solid but unfortunately very rawthere are way to many signs the game was shipped out in the middle of developmentone small example:>in vanilla, during the minotaur's charging attack, if the player hit him dead on in the head, you get a whopping x24 damage multiplierit's literally a placeholder testing valueand the game is full of things like these...fortunately the Enemy Resistance Overhaul mod completely wipes out all these inconsistencies
>>728312343>>728317074>>728317443>>728320265for anyone interestedhere's an extensive list of cool mods available:> https://pastebin.com/mQ0AZiDS
Can you make cute girls?
>>728312343I liked it, honestly I was fine with the four skills given that they improved core skills, I never felt like I was missing something important in my kit. I have only two real issues with the game. First is trickster, it feels lame to play, and needed more work. It is the only class I hated playing. Additionally it has all the same problems the original dragons dogma had, in that the story feels unfinished, and the endgame unsatisfying. Unfortunately capcom only cares about flagship games so it probably will never get the dark arisen treatment.
>>728321981you can even make cute cat girl xD>rip /ddg/
>>728321981maybe
>>728321981Certainly.
>actually it's not bad!this board's revisionism is approaching critical levels lately
>>728323663still having a blast!xD
>>728323045So true!
>>728321981
Is it ready to play yet? Are they still giving it qol updates?
>>728316327>>728316414I just finished killing Grigori and couldn't stomach BBI. This is just what I needed. Thank you.
>>728312343DD1 was 9/10DD2 was 4/10
>>728325332It's as ready as it's ever going to be. There have been several improvements since launch. It's still a half-baked game compared to what it should have been but it's definitely a fun romp for a while.
>>728312343Tons of fun to play. Shit story. Fucking photogenic. Once you get used to it, turn the hud off.
>>728323045we're still on /vm/ you know...
>>728327669Yup
>>728321754this is amazing, thank you anon. I just upgraded my gpu and was thinking of visiting my pawn again. I miss her
