I am conflicted about the coom/eye candy mods. On one hand, the aesthetic of DD is literally its strongest point, and to get rid of the gritty, shadowed features of the originals feels ridiculous. On the other, I love attractive women.

Agreed, devs have zero understanding of how to make a good risk management game. DD gets old fast.

Does it actually have sexy girls, or is this fanart cope?

Because the first was a fluke. They're good at setting the atmosphere, aesthetics, story and mood but their gameplay ideas suck. Just look how the first game was shittier and shittier with every "balance" patch.

Great, love it, still play it. Bunch of new modded classes and encounters just came out last month. Kamen Rider Delta is crazy, really feels like having that bastard Kitazaki in the party and the addictive effects of the Delta gear and how aggressive it can make you really stand out. Though horribly unbalanced for the actual game even on the hardest difficulty, the darn thing is hitting 70 crit at level 1. Jet Sliger hits everyone for 11 damage, burst spread hits for about the same and marks. The only thing about Delta that makes it anywhere close to balanced is that Lucifer's Hammer needs you to camp to get it off cooldown. I can't wait to see Faiz and Kaixa, especially since the dev is promising he wants to make combo attacks a thing.

Years of playing Xcom has taught me the best way to play these games is trying to mitigate bad RNG by playing like a big pussy. Sometimes you restart runs until you get a good early game going that snowballs to a lategame where it becomes impossible to lose even if you get bad RNG. From there you're just going through the motions until the credits roll.
I never played with cosmetic mods cause I think DD is perfect as it is.

Is there really THAT much of a difference between walking down a hallway and driving down a road? The difference seemed negligible to me, but I always see people harping on about it. The boss lairs would have been great places for DD1 style dungeons though.
>>
>>735046359
I enjoyed it, and once I figured out it was actually just a management game and not a dungeon crawling rpg it became piss easy to play.

But the problem with it is I wanted a dungeon crawler rpg and not a management sim. I still enjoyed it, but I put it down once I dispelled my illusions and I lost interest in future instalments entirely. Haven't touched it in years.
>>
>>735046523
So I'm not the only one who coudn't even finish the first run? Its so boring and repetetive. Completely killed off any fun of short dungeon runs and character progression. Whoever came up with that gameplay loop should had been fired from the company.

Almost every DD1 map lets you pick from routes to get your objective. It's such a retarded complaint since the only difference is picking which hallway you walk into vs which road you drive into.

DD1 was cool, but got way too grindy during the finale even if the idea of not being able to reuse was neat.
For DD2 the devs simply removed many of the fun parts and ramped up the stupid grind. Also they went from an interesting setting to "what if its all just metaphors, or a dream".

DD2 is a garbage game, I regret supporting it financially. And I regret spending the time to finish it.

>>
>>735055214
The correct opinion.DD1 not respecting your time and being really grindy is my only problem with the game.
>>
I like a lot of the DNA that went into DD1, but the finished product never did a good job hooking me. I think there should have been some way, even if it came at a cost, to progress time while at the estate, because the tedium of running a B and C team while A team recovers their stress is usually what kills my interest when I attempt a replay.
I also think veteran characters should develop some kind of stress resistance passively, like how many times do you have to get splashed with a goblet of fetid blood before it becomes just another day on the job?
That said, Lustiest Lair is amazing and I wish other games I liked had such dedicated porn modders.

Honestly I love the character building and losing characters in Darkest Dungeon 1. I feel like it's done so well and losing characters feels much better than in something like Mewgenics. In Darkest Dungeon if I lose someone, I know I can make a great character again from some fucking rando, but in Mewgenics if I fail a run, I potentially lose a good breeding cat, and I have to go through the slog of breeding more fucking cats.
>>
>>735046359
Great game but I never beat it or played the DLC. It's like a 30 hour campaign that you either win at the end, grind new units or have to restart, which is fine, but one kick at it was enough for me.
>>
>>735056915
I think he just did it for fun for a few of the characters he liked and called it a day
I remember downloading a modpack with a bunch of skins made mostly by chinese artists, most of them were shit but a few tried to copy the shindol style and were actually decent.
>>
>>735055982
I don't really mind the crimson curse much. Nothing is making you go to the first courtyard dungeon in the early game, so you are free to stock up on blood before you feel like doing it. I've gotten 28 vials in my current run. Once you have a good group of level 2 heroes is when I finally head in because of that damn Croc.

>>735058004
You could have easily asked for that kind of advice here. It really isn't difficult to get good at the game. It is mostly just knowing what characters form good teams and what abilities are good. The most important thing is the action economy, it is almost never a good idea to split your damage. Back line hurts, either in stress or damage, but they usually don't have effective attacks in the front. So even if you can't hit them in the back for good damage, you can either pull them, or kill a smaller target in the middle to bring them closer. There is always going to be exceptions of course, such as the blighters in the weald having escape cloud, making them dangerous to bring up to the front.

It's mid.
fun for a bit, but the game hates your time. it does everything possible to make the game last as long as possible. everything is retardedly grindy and it is obsessed with forcing you to grind even more with heavy rng elements in a game that demands you have a minimum of 16 top end units because you can only use one character once in the final dungeon and you have to complete it 4 times. if you ever fail one of those 4 times you will automatically lose a minimum of 1 character too so hope you have backups. by the way stronger units won't go to weaker quests so you can't use your max level characters to help grind replacements, because fuck you we don't respect your time in the slightest.
>>
>>735058004
Certain classes are designed for certain maps. Crusader does well in Ruins. Hellion not so much. Houndmaster owns the warrens and sucks in the cove. It really just boils down to whether the mobs are weak to bleed or blight and adjusting your comp accordingly.

The studio got mad because everyone was shitting on the new artstyle, so they decided to make the game a roguelike purely out of spite. They also did other things like replacing HM with the duelist. Some devs who had genuine love for the game tried to save it with Kingdoms, but it wasn’t enough

It has some of the most god tier atmosphere I have ever seen that has yet to be topped, but the repetitive nature slowly killed my drive and I never finished it.

Almost all turn based games turn into finding a combo that sounds and then one shots. Or has infinate healing every turn. If you make a turn based game with actual strategy aka "exploits" for your pea brain, then you should leave it in the game so that it is actualy fun. If i wanted bland as fuck no thought except go first, get lucky, or lose, then i would just play one of the thousands of shitty jrpgs

Devs need to realize that if you're going to massively change up the gameplay you need to make it, and sell it as, a spin-off, instead of trying to sell it as "[Thing] 2" and pissing off every one of the fans that was hungry for more of what they actually came for.

rat runs where you take 4 suckers off the stagecoach and throw them into a dungeon with fuckall supplies are fun as hell, and it sucks how much of the game you just don't get to play if you play it that way.

Darkest Dungeon has one of my favorite art styles in vidya. However, I do get filtered by its gameplay whenever I want to play it. It's a game designed with you having to assess risk, that you have to account you're going to have a bad time, and what you can do to mitigate that or plan for it. Not something for >erryone.

it's pretty nice. Being forced to stick it out despite poor conditions got pretty tense. Salvaged a lot more than I realized I could during some endgame stuff and that felt great. Fuck the hag though. Fuck her. Fuck her a lot. Bitch got the highest bodycount in the game. Also I accidentally killed my jester at the very end.
beat the game for the first time somewhere around two weeks ago, right before I started noticing the socks were wearing thin on the balls of my feet. Since I decided to switch to air drying the instant I noticed that, I don't think I'll ever really play it consistently again. It simply isn't the same in a warm room with a window well above the ground compared to downstairs in the cold at the witching hour, with big dark windows for any cat dog or deer to leer into, a low rumbling coming from the tiny hallway barely separating me from the machine I deliberately chose to leave in the dark
very easy 9/10

no you fucking caveman
that's not the point i'm making
if everyone is just naked and sexual by default, it's never earned, discovered or incorporated into the actual game

it's no longer a fucking game, you're just looking at jpegs
i swear to god, coomers have 1 braincell between them

Haven't played it ever since it started running like shit for some reason and I'm too lazy to do troubleshooting to fix the issue

I'm sure I'll never unironically play enough porn games or mods to be actually upset at the internal logic to one. You have to be pretty far gone to be upset that your porn movie has insufficient motivations for the characters to be having sex.

he won't,
they never fucking do
porn mods never understand subtlety and pacing

I'm pleasantly surprised by this thread, it's nice to see that most people dont like darkest dungeon either

Slowly managed to patch out all the fun, turned into a "mopping with the faucet open" game. Reminded me of that gravekeeper manager game actually, not gameplay wise but in the somehow manages to push all the annoyance buttons and blue balls you the entire fucking game.
>>
It's so weird the devs are so anal retentive about the balance of the game and try to push dumb strats like poison Graverobber.

This, but the terminal circlejerk hatred around the sequel ends like most cirlejerks of hatred do. Whenever the ending of a series is disliked by a small portion of the audience, the cringe bitches try to backpedal to having been the "first hater" as a status symbol, that's where you get "people" saying shit like "Yeah Attack On Titan was a kino masterpiece for the first 3 minutes and 47 seconds of the series, after that it went to shit".

At most the complaint about DD2 is that they don't like the presentation of the same concept, but since they're all trying to one-up each other they have to pretend it's completely different from the first game and it's a sin to have even thought it up.
>>

Do i need the DLCs for that mod or base game only?

>I want my literal porn to have subtlety and pacing
Fuck you're one autistic retard

My problem with DD2 is the attachment to the characters.
You play with eyeless dudes, but they kind of get a story as you use them.
You create an A team, a backup team... you spend gold and do runs on money deficit just to level up them.
And then you lose them. You feel emotions.
That doesn't happen with DD2.
When someone dies there, you just feel as if its a slight annoyance.
Not to mention one of the appeals of the first game is how easy it was to mod it.
DD2 has some... peculiarities, that makes modding original character and skins much harder.

It's the definition of a style over substance game.
Yeah, the ancestor voice actor is great.
Sure, the art style draws you in.
It's very atmospheric.
Sound design is pretty incredible for an indie game.

But the gameplay itself sucks.
I doubt I'll ever play it again.
>>
Just by the fact that you alone need either to use a speedhack (like CE) or a speed-up mod... you can already see there are problems with the game.

I haven't played DD since it released. What version should I play for most fun gameplay balance? Original with just the hotfixes?
>>
>>735070437
Why would it be buggy? Yeah, most mods work fine with the new build because nothing has really changed much. The only real problems that happen are when multiple effects go off at the same time that then must be cleared at the same time.
>Effect happens on kill
>Effect happens that spawns new creature from the one that is killed
>Game tries to say that you get a bonus from killing something, but game also says you didn't kill something because a new creature spawned.
Basically, avoid using mods that give you things on kill, such as Hollow Knights gold on kill bonus trinket or the Privateer (big boobed red head, not the old man) mark skill that gives you extra drops on killing. With a mod like the boss rework mod trinket Necromantic Scroll, which causes a Banner Bearer skeleton to spawn when killing an enemy.

Hard to say, there are so many. I love almost all of them I have used, but I guess the ones that I like the most are the Dungeon Meshi crew. Even then, there is going to be a place in my heart for the Kamen Rider Kuuga mod. Not only so much effort into getting them super accurate, but even went back and did a double balance pass to make sure they weren't hitting stupid damage numbers in the first levels. I'll always remember getting to 100 stress and Godai virtues with Rising against the Necromancer, using Chouhenshin again and going Amazing Mighty form and drop kicking the bastard so hard that the map screen comes up to show the blast radius.

The ost and artstyle are great but the devs have clear issues with balance and game design.

And I don't mean too hard, I mean too easy. All the difficulty is really info burden in regards to risk mitigation (RNG), and there's just too many cases in the game where the RNG is too stupid to ever meaningfully engage with.

I beat Stygian (Vanilla) and Bloodmoon (DLC), and it's funny that Crimson Court unlocked made it easier by replacing all events with the mosquitoes stress one. Consistent and predictably a little bad was better than random really good and really bad events. In a way it's the same with "death is the best CC", for all the different ability interactions burst DPS is really all that matters.
>>
Put in about 200 hours years ago. Currently contemplating going back for a Bloodmoon run, if I can manage it.

I want to like it but it feels too repetitive especially in terms of enemy variety. I sunk like 15 hours into the game and its not very hard in the sense that execution of strategy is important. The difficulty is in having control ripped away from you by the stress mechanic but if you are prepared then the game is very easy. But an easy strategy game + few enemy types/compositions + tons of grinding for the end game made me drop it.
>>
whats the go to strategy for bloodmoon? do you have enough weeks to make something like the bank worth it?
>>
I always end up using too many modded classes and get stuck with party comps that don't synergize at all. The normal classes are boring but they are the bread and butter that make the game work.
>>
If I've never played before, should I turn off all the DLC for my first run?
>>
>>735087112
Wouldn't suggest Crimson Court on a first run.

To be as spoiler free as possible, Shieldbreaker has a chance of special encounters when resting so if you have her at party and you're camping get ready for a fight.
If the encounter is going to happen, I don't remember exactly when actually but after or before you choose rations she'll say something, that means you are about to get her fights. During those times you want to use combat buffs instead of night time ambush preventing skills, those won't work
Musketeer is basically a worse Arbelest, she's her reskin but has worse trinkets so I suggest using a rework mod for her, there're multiple
CoM is basically just an endless combat mode if you like the combat, you can bail whenever you want

Gay mechanics make it unappealing to 99.999% of players.

>>735069449
Look-wise I wanted to love Werewolf but she's just so fucking weak, worse than Abom who is already considered by bottom 2 class along with Leper
Other than her my most used modded characters are Sorceress, Legion, Tempest, Ironclad(StS one), Witcher, Songbird, Eternal
I could write short descriptions of each but I just don't feel like doing that

I really enjoy Miscreant but it seems like a furry has made it his life mission to go full schizo about the artist drawing loli and posting gay discord drama.

>>735089862
The fact that you care or even know about furry discord drama is just as gay as the furfag.
