>>729869887Personally I loved it.Got it for 40 bux in Dec '24 after the nov'24 performance update, played it on base ps5 at fukken 55-60fps everywhere but cities.Shit was CASH!
>>729869887there's not she goat
Better than base game DD1, but since there's no DLC planned it will stay worse than Dark Arisen.Sad!
Ive noticed more than a decade ago the majority of posters literally do not play videogames and the ones that do have to wait for a crack. This place is unserious. They can't even verbalize whats wrong with the game. At best its enemy variety.
It was good but as usual the weird convoluted quests that can fuck themselves up can be really annoying, but that's just DD
>>729869887I really enjoyed it. Sad it won't get an expansion.
>>729869887I finished it in ~70 hours and loved most of it. There's just not enough of it to play more. The first 10-20 levels are the best, after that you're already overpowered against anything but drakes. Enemy variety was fine for me, the quantity and powercreep was not. I suppose it's not balanced at all for playing most of the content in one playthrough, it's like you're supposed to complete the main story within the first 30 levels and then seek out everything else in NG
Yes, it is literally just Dragon's Dogma again. Including the developers not acknowledging the issues of the first game and not bothering to fix them, instead adding more issues.
No. I WANTED literally Dragon's Dogma 1 but bigger and with all the things cut from the original game. 2 wasn't that. At all. It was straight up worse than even the unfinished mess that was 1 with an even worse story and cast.
>>729869887Who is making all these Dragons Dogma threads? it's the same shit everytime.
really fun game but i stopped before the performance patch a year agoshould get back into it
>>729869887It's one of the few modern AAA games that I bothered to play to completion so it must've did something right. I still think the first game is better though.
It's a worse version of DD:DA with better graphics.
Fun for the only playthrough I did, but I got annoyed at not having a particularly reliable way to avoid hits as any class other than thief or fighter. Made playing warfarer with a big fuck off sword but none of the damage mitigation of warrior a chore.
>>729869887I JUST WANT A BITTER BLACK ISLEGIVE ME A DUNGEON TO CRAWL THROUGH
>>729869887>its literally dragon's dogma 1Yeah, that's the problem
>>729870898>doesnt parry everything with warriors skillsquite literally a skill issue
>>729870670This. Moment I found out it didn't have the moon or other cool shit and it really was just a safe sequel, I was out. I don't even know if it had a crazy twist/world change like the first one did?Think most people wanted a batshit crazy sequel and what we got was disappointing.
It's good. Solid improvement on DD1 in most ways, however the story is worse (in that it's pretty much just a blander repeat) and the characters are much less interesting. It also really suffers from lacking a Dark Arisen type expansion or even something like the Everfall to keep people playing and interested.
>>729870965This lolDragon's Dogma 1 on launch was a like 6.5 tier game, something with potential but also cleaely with troubled development and not enough time to reach full potential. Dark Arisen brought it to 7. Fans expected a sequel to actually bring the score higher, sadly some years ago a bunch of discord and reddit kiddies started spamming that DA was some sort of flawless masterpiece.
>>729869887neutered the fashion and removed my favorite class.while adding not much.also>introduce fun, actually fun captcha>immediatly replace it with an annoying versionits all so tiresome
Utter disappointment.Solid 6/10.
>>729871537Whats rhe new captcha? I still have picking the odd one out of shapes/letters
>>729869887So first of all, the original basegame DD was an experimental proof-of-concept Original Title that came out 14 years ago so the fact that the two games are even comparable content, story, or gameplay-wise is laughably pathetic. The fact that DD2 CAN'T be compared to the original with 1 (One) DLC applied is equally, if not more pathetic.Second of all, basegame DD had an actual story, an endgame loop in the Everfall/Unmoored overworld (I forget what it was actually called when the Dragon dies and the sky turns red and the world changes back then), and an actual reason to do NG+. DD2 has none of these things, and no final boss. It also has less vocations for some reason (Wayfarer and Weedman aren't real vocations fuck off) and it "Fixes" warrior by kneecapping every other vocation to be in line with it instead of adding more fucking slots to use.Feel free to stop making threads for this series, there's no point.
>>729869887solid 5/10its shite, tried so hard to return this drag and drop import of a game
>>729870634An open world and an attack-minus-defense damage system really did a number on DD1.
>>729870670>DD but biggerSeconding. Still baffled how they failed at that simple and obvious recipe for success.
>>729871130>I don't even know if it had a crazy twist/world change like the first one did?It did. Once you beat the game there is a secret way to start the REAL game which is the first time the title screen shifts from Dragon's Dogma to Dragon's Dogma 2. It's extremely kino and one of the high points of the game imo.
>>729870670>with an even worse story and cast.>evenDD1 had an incredibly memorable cast, and a genuinely inspired story - even though very little happens until Deny Salvation.
>>729871709Weedman could've been a real vocation if they didn't straight up remove throwing weapons, despite fixing throwing mechanics.
Is there any way to make inventory management less frustrating, other than just not picking anything up?
I like DD2 a lot, the changes to vocations by putting prior skills into the basic moveset was great. I love playing an archer sliding around and kicking the shit of everything and vaulting off motherfuckers. I still wish there were more vocations, though.I wasn't even all that put out when Itsuno finally broke free from Capcom's retarded c-suite. No, what pissed me off is that Capcom did the same old "oh it did so well and is now a major focus" song and dance to immediately and very visibly ignoring it.But much like Itsuno, it was enough to make me not give a shit about capcom at all anymore.
>>729870670>retards obsessed with design docsFake fan
>>729875513You're me, I'm you.DD2 could have been a phenomenal game if they put out even a modicum of effort after launch.Then we saw that fucking dino game and the disaster of MHwilds, man, only game I'm buying from them for the foreseeable future is plapmata.
>>729874613Weedman is the biggest gimmick class in the where much of what you do is just to make your pawns better. But that requires other people making good pawns, and they routinely do not.
>>729876667>>729874613Weedman is insanely OP
>>729869887yes, it's the same as DD1>having a blast>suddenly no more side quests or things to do, forced into an endgame you don't like or want to play
>>729869887>its literally Smash Bros Melee but bigger and better>/v/ hates it anyways
>>729870670I could have forgiven everything if the combat was good, but the slow, floaty physics and passive sand-bag enemies make it impossible for me to enjoy.Games that market 'realistic physics' has become a red flag for me.
>>729878363I think the physics are super based. Name even ONE game where you can land on a big flying boss monster's head and have the sheer kinetic impact of that knock the thing from the sky.
>>729878908That's a conditional fall animation, you fucking retard.
>>729879496Conditional on me slamming into him from the sky
I thought I hated it at first espescially cause I decided I wouldnt finish a game that I was disliking. That plus all my friends told me there was no connection to Dogma 1 cause their lying assholes, anyways the game is a lot better if you play it like a freak meanwhile Dogma 1 really only had the oxcart mission as its big friction point, the missables in Dogma 1 were easy to control and not a big enough problem that doing a 2nd playthrough was fine.v hates 2 cause it only does a handful of things right/better than 1, side quest design, vocation design and the world design/enemy placements are just so fucking bad in 2 PLUS its harsher survival elements that genuinely feel out of place since 1 didnt have them and I swear this game was not balanced with this shitty health cap shit you lying fuck Itsuno. Anyways I used to hate it for those reasons turns out mods fixed them all and I been enjoying my replay, only real shame is that the games endgame gear grind I find a lot less fun than everfall which really sucks cause we probably arent getting a DLC to fix that like we did with BBI.
>>729879598That's not game physics though. But the slow ass fall speed is.
>>729878908Battletech? They even have a name for it, a Highlander burial.
