After the updates I'm forcing myself to try and enjoy this shit again but its just so mid and soulless, playing it almost makes me angry because it should be awesome but it just isn't, it's just a boring game at its core and I don't think the DLC can change this fact
Fascinating.
It's Capcom's Starfield. They put a bunch of time and effort into ideas that just arent fun
The level of dynamism in the combat/physics is unparalleled, it just suffers from low enemy variety and low difficulty. Unfortunately reading the dev comments they were surprised western audiences felt this way and were originally planning to make the dlc even easier, so even if they backpedal now they don't know what they're doing or how to fix it.

>>748890640Made by trannies for trannnies I don't understand why any sane person wants to play this shit
>>748891750yeah the "sane" person is the one who posts on 4chan while trannies live in his head rent free
In retrospect, I kinda think Itsuno & his team were pissed that Souls/ER got way more popular than DD, to the point that they were subtly dissing ER during the DD2 announcement

>>748891750Why try to rewrite history? Literally every single chuddy was shilling and hoping this game would unseat woke BG3 as the GOTY back then only to have a massive meltdown and site wide clitty leak when le based japs shat out a turd so massive no amount of willful self delusion could hide the fact it was mid at best to offensively bad and unplayable at worst. Cue even more tears of impotent rage when BG3 did indeed become GOTY both in the mainstream and in dedicated circles that year. Who are you trying to fool?

>>748892046DD2 released the year after BG3
>>748890640How different is if from the original?
>>748890640>>748891598That's cute. I will have a blast though.
>>748892430yea 2023 goty should have gone to armored core 6, but western jewnarlists preferred the faggot propaganda disguised as a video game made by literal and unironical faggots.
>>748892691Literally me.
>>748890640no need to force yourself to having a blast bro. you need to understand that Itsuno san made this game not caring about mass appeal and that so only those truly based enough might see the vision of his magnum opus. don't feel left out, its a niche game and not for everyone.
>>748892691patiently waiting until i can finally start my hard mode run with my pawn on the 9th.
dragon's dogma has one of best greek mythological creature design and i wish to moregive me centuars, kraken, pegasus, cerberus
1 week my negros
>>748892479not that much, 2 got worse vocations, worse voices, worse characters but a bit better quests, better world, better graphics and they're about equal in combat.
Me and all the bitches I got by being Arisen (autistic)>>748891954I can understand that and kinda agree with it. Even in its janky and implementation-wise half-finished state both Dragon's Dogma games have more going for them than any of Fromsoft's own Souls games barring Demon Souls and even that wasn't all that unique. It really boggles my mind that those games lasted so long in the limelight after Bloodborne, which was the last time From really tried to do something different.At least we still have Dragon's Dogma and PAWG pawns (and PAAG and PABG (black not beastren) pawns too. no Beastren pawns though. I'm not racist. I'm just not a cat fucker)
>>748894520>worse vocationsHalf the classes in 1 use daggers and almost every class has some “stupid bullshit you should just spam” I do not know by what metric you could ever say vocations in 1 are better.
>>748890640Blastbros... not like this...
>>748894520I don't like the quest at all in 2. Going in the underwater ruin was fun, but that like one of the few missions you went somewhere with combat. All the other Quest I remember was mostly go to a place and talk to someone
>>748894767Not to mention the warrior class is gimped beyond belief in 1. 3 skills, no defensive options and generally a really underpowered class. Now the warrior is actually viable for most enemies because he has a defensive barge option (along with a parry move), 4 skill slots before the update made it 6 and even has a fucking anti-air while not being too broken.I love DD1 but people really don't see how flawed it kinda is. 2 is flawed too but a lot of people have rose-tinted glasses or are just used to the quirks of DD1 to not see that a lot of it was genuinely kinda bad. Not game ruining bad, but definitely stuff that made you question what even was the plan.
>>748891598The devs understand action combat but know fuck-all about making a fun RPG
I did enjoy DD1, and maybe I'm just a brainlet, but DD2 feels like there's simultaneously so much going on but also nothing happening at the same time. A lot of the systems feel needlessly complex, but also poorly described, but also unimpactful. Character progression feels somehow slow, but also too fast to get intimately familiar with your abilities. Feels like the world is massive, but I don't really know where to go, but also I don't feel rewarded for exploring. Plot happens to me, not because of me. I'd like to sit down and give it another good try when DA drops. Maybe I just need to start fresh when I've got less going on in my life and more time and energy to dedicate to playing longer sittings
>>748890640>blast status: waiting roomI've done absolutely everything and prepped for the DLC, I legit cannot wait I'm turning on hard mode straight away and hope I get my ass kicked
>>748890640DD2 is much worse. They switched genre from RolePlay Action to Slasher-Action-Roleplay.Useless enemies on every step.
>>748896908DD2 tries to push the whole systemic shit even harder and it mostly just fails at it, there's clearly a lot of mechanics thats meant to lead to emergent gameplay stories but a lot of them are shocklingly badly designed and balanced, so much so that it makes me think retarded playtesters came in and whined about stuff being too hard or something, so they had to casualize the systems.
>>748897213BasedBlast Bro
>>748894520dragons dogma TWO has>removed vocations>removed weapon slots>removed armor slots>missing monsters from 1>weaker weapon and armor variety than 1 (lack of elemental weapons and status debilitation weapons)>weaker skill variety than 1 (missing sorcerer spells for example)>worse npcs than 1>worse story than 1>no ur dragon, or everfall, or giant bbi-like dungeon in base game>no REASONABLE FUCKING LEVEL CAP to have a shared endgame pawn pool>also the english voice acting is shit compared to 1
So it's not getting a discount for day 1? I mean, the pack is already cheaper than the base game + DLC but I'd like some extra sweetness on that deal.
