Pre and post-release DD2 was a crazy rollercoaster. When they suddenly announced the game all the people who had been anticipating it for years naturally flooded the board while those who could never get into the game started feeling left out, and some of them started dooming and glooming in the hype threads. Then Itsuno started making vague statements in interviews that people naturally interpreted to mean we were getting much more than what we ultimately got. Then the game released as an unfinished mess (that I enjoyed), so those who were dooming felt vindicated while those who were looking forward to the game were in different shades of disappointment, even if blasts were had.
Now we're in another cycle with the announcement Dark Arisen, but now many are much more wary of what is being previewed. All I can say for myself is that I can't wait to blast again.

This board does not play games or consider them on their own merits because video games are the only way they can get any socialization so they are always emotionally loaded hysterical matters of contention.

For the DLC itself the bare minimum is lvl 20 to access it. But they said around 50-60 should be good enough to clear it. They're also adding hard mode separate from the DLC and it drops on the same day.

Dragon's Dogma 1 was one of the top favorites of old /v/ and modern /v/ has a thing about shitting on everything old /v/ ever liked. Whether that's because the current crop of underage faglords are just a bunch of retards or because there's been a concerted effort to destroy any sense of community on this site for years now, well, who knows?

People are mostly just disappointed at how much of a backstep it is from 1 despite supposedly being a "finished" version of 1. But you don't actually care about that because you're a demented faggot blastposter who will avoid actually talking about the game.

With all the comparisons to Bitterblack Isle, how is Norgan going to be replayable? In DD:DA, they just keep the shortcuts to each floor of the dungeon and you can go through it as many times as you want killing Daimon over and over again. How are they going to replicate that in an open world format?

>>746519671
Same as always

There's shortcuts you can create in the new region as well. Plus fast travel locations.

Even without BBI, Dogshit 2 was a step back from 1.

I don't get why they didn't add a swing sword button in the pause menu as well?
Like go next to a boss, pause the game, click the sword button 30 times, unpause and you win.

/v/ had a collective hallucination about what the game was going to be, and decided it would be fun to larp as smashfags and theorycraft 100% of the game on headcanon alone. Reality kicked in, and /v/ would rather call the game kuso for not having nunchaku and throwing stars then admit they were being retarded on pre-release.

I fell for the shills. Denuvo exists to suppress word of mouth. I spent $70 and played the game for just a few hours before realizing it had nothing but endless lizards. Not to mention black people in a medieval setting. Uninstalled Steam in disgust. Never again. I learned my lesson

>>746519671

Undead Dragon. Why would anyone think there's gonna be another one? Did no one learn anything from DD2 marketing? DD1/BBI was lightning in a bottle. DD2DA won't even have the same number of enemies as base DD1, and that's depressing.

Having said that it does have the Daimon face for whatever reason, but seeing the DD1 art book and then looking at DD2 is just so depressing. So many good concepts not used to instead rehash the exact same game but in a worse package.

Or, the heartless arisen is really the evil one and the Dragon is actually like Daimon and is a tragic villain.

>>746528421
I would say whatever the source of the “Lambent Flame” is, it’s the biggest question mark from the original game plot and Battahl seems to worship it for providing protection from the dragon in some form. The cycle was probably disrupted on the Norgan continent by nuking the dragon and that’s why the Brine stops ships from leaving the main landmass.

Pawn system. Vocations with unique skillsets. How fighting every enemy feels like a actually fighting a foe vs other fantasy RPG's where fighting a dragon sucks ass.

In the original, layered armor, variety of debilitations. How you can basically upgrade every piece of gear including even clothing. Rings that let you boost your skills to be even stronger in BBI. I wish they would bring back Torpor. Always found it cool how dragonforged rusted weapons gave guaranteed effect.

Also the forgery system. I did prefer it in one where you could forge stuff without being told to keep items like the Ring or Blessed flower where as the side quests make it more obvious.

>>746525206
oh man i am laughing

Boys I got scammed out of playing the base game, I bought the DD2 Dark Arisen from the Capcom Town Store website and I figured "okay well it doesn't release for a few months but at least I'll get to play the base game till then"
Except they don't provide a key for the base game, I bought it, it's literally included, but they're holding it hostage with dark arisen till that releases. I mean it's not the end of the world but it's kind of lame, oh well. Guess I'll just play dark arisen again till then.

>>746529459
I got scammed by capcom last season as well. turns out iceborne, monster hunter world dlc, had several hundred dollars worth of DLC in a bundle. The $6 DLC had $450 DLC. The $450 DLC does not contain the $6 DLC.

>>746529625
Well at least I'm not the only one, I kinda wanna try and dispute the charge just so I can potentially get my money and back and then buy a key so these fuckers don't get any money, but there are no refunds even though I don't have access to any of what I purchased.

Hello bros!
I recently reset my progress using this mod:
https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/917

Everything's going great so far, but I want to know if my pawn is still in the rift and not banned.
Could someone perchance take a gander?

Here's the pawn ID. Think I'm level 26 at the moment. No this is not some elaborate ruse to get hires. It's for science.
Just tell me (with proof preferably) if you can see him in the rift.

It's dogshit but actually really fun just like the first game, it just happens to be chock full of modern-isms that blow dick and ruin the charm the first game had.
That and a bunch of cool shit got cut and they barely attempted anything they said they wanted to put into a sequel back in 2012. Reality of that probably is the game being developed on a short schedule with not a lot of money though, and the fact that RE Engine sucks. Not necessarily the developer's fault.

>>746531538 (me)

I feel like half of the forced hate for this game comes from the chinese cabal of discordfags who frequently raid /v/. The other half are most likely the DD1 fans who are slowly starting to realize that BBI was the only reason DD1 is remembered fondly and without it or an equivalent, then the game feels stale.

>>746542242
the discord "anti-shill" fuckos just poison the well. honestly, the more you try to engage with people on /v/ these days the more you realize everyone here is retarded. there's no gatekeeping, no moderation. most posters are failed normalfags and third worlders. it's basically impossible to talk about any game here anymore. new, old, doesn't matter, everyone has some dumb shit they copy pasted from somewhere else to say and everything you read is so mind numbingly stupid it's impossible to tell if you're talking to a legitimate shit eating indian or just a retarded 19 year old raised on ipads and twitter.

>>746542242
I mean we know for a fact that Aqua jeet comes into damn near every single DD2 thread to seethe about it. Personally I do think DD1 was better than DD2 simply because DD1 had more and better quests and story while everything else is mostly the same. If everything in DD2 was the same quality as the first region then DD2 would be leagues better than 1 but man does the entire 2nd half of DD2 suck ass.

Rhade could be here, you know...

>>746539462
Actually, in a set of digital comics Capcom made for Dragon's Dogma 1, they establish that Saven's pawn took the shape of his deceased father. I believe the idea is that when a newly minted Arisen touches their first rift stone to manifest their pawn, it takes the form of the first people that comes to mind. For Saven it was his dad but you can RP your pawn to be whoever you want them to be in this context.

>>746542742
I'll never understand the perception of DD1 having a better story, basically nothing happens in DD1 besides the explanation of the story metaphysics. The only other actor in the story is the Duke.

>>746543178
DD1's story isn't anything crazy good but what it is is consistent and well paced. 2 also loses a fucking lot of points in the story for literally just telling the exact same story again but somehow worse.

>>746543492
2's story is completely different how tf can you think it's the same? DD2's story is about the fallout from the Seneschal gaining awareness of the Watcher and the larger purpose of the cycle, ultimately resulting in things going off script.as various actors in the story attempt to break out of their intended roles. The stories share a cycle but they're not the same at all.

>>746519671
They are all vengeful Crimson Desert trannies that are mad because that game fell off and failed to be culturally relevant, unlike Dragon's Dogma.

>>746543178
It might just be that the player experiences most of DD2’s story through “sneak around the castle and pick up this note” missions instead of anything engaging, see the anticlimactic throne confrontation scene, and then get sent to Cat Land where nothing is resolved. At some point you get an OC Donut Steel ‘rival’ that you can just throw into a pit at the end of the game.

Tell me the specific plot points in the story you think weren't answered, I swear people just say random shit about the story because they don't understand it.

DD2 doesn't even have a story until you get to Grigori then the game shits itself and that's the end

>>746546828
DD2's story is
>At some point in the past a Seneschal named Rothais founded the kingdom of Vermund and discovered the world is "fictional" and guided by a hidden force called the Watcher (which is the Brine)
>he basically went insane from the revelation and became obsessed with "conquering the real world", so the Watcher had to send a guy to try and fix things
>The guy (Pathfinder) kept sending Arisen to try and kill Rothais, but Rothais kept shattering their souls and throwing the pieces in the Ocean
>Since Arisen can control pawns, NPCs were able to use the Arisen pieces to make implements to control pawns
>Some of those NPCs are now conspiring to try and break the cycle so society can stop being reset by the Dragon destroying shit

Also the dragon in 2 isn't Grigori

/v/ never had "community" especially, after 2016 when 4chan as a whole was hijacked by mentally stunted retards who got one tapped by anti-sjw cringe comps and never recovered from that era.

This place has no meaningful room for discussion, it all becomes riffing on whatever bullshit is the new gripe and trying to bait each other for nothing more than an imaginary competition for who can feel smarter for a single vapid instance.

People loved the first game, waited 15 years for a nother one, Capcom slipped their dick into peoples mouths right as the game was being launched by adding suprise microtransactions, the game ran like shit for a long while and it turns out to be shittier than the first game. Plenty of reasons to get upset but none that would upset the average slop consumer.
