I'm sure the devs thought it seemed super cool to make this game where a ton of stuff is very easy to miss or screw up with instant auto saving and an endgame thats on a timer to encourage repeat playthroughs. Problem is that they weren't making a roguelike run-based game but a 50+ hour RPG, nobody in their right mind would want to suffer through this shit again to see the content they missed. It's a ton of effort for something fundamentally unfun.
The camera in the dragon fight is the literal worst one I've ever experienced in my 25 years of gaming. Holy shit it legit makes you want to barf
>>749636295>endgame thats on a timerIt's not a real timer. It's just a limit on the number of sleeps you can commit. If you want a full heal, use All-Heals or die and self-rez with a Wakestone.

>>749636570There is dismemberment now? Or is that a mod?
>>749636669damn right;and anons were saying it was an impossible mod 2 weeks ago
>>749636295>Dark Arisen greatly improved the enemy variety in Dragon's Dogma 2>The enemy variety in questionI'm never fucking believing Shitsuno's lies again. I can't fucking take fighting another goddamn shitty northern bandit or wolf or lizard reskin so help me god I will end Shitsuno my goddamn self.
>>749637142You should have known this is how Dark Arisen 2 would have ended up when the first thing the reveal trailer shows is reskinned enemies
Anyone has encountered the reaper enemy in the devouring rancor?What am I supposed to do? Even if I get a null sleep ring he still instakill my pawns with his gigarange scythe, is that some kind of 1v1 fight?
>>749637142The DLC itself is peak but once you get into post-game, especially the rifts, it's like stunlock central. In one rift I fought the arisen dragon + two of those goat demons + about a dozen of those skinny little zombies that rush you. everything spamming long-range AOEs. And this was after a wave of fighting a regular dragon with a couple ogres by its side a wave fighting a giant harpy boss and a couple goat demons. All three waves accompanied with those skinny little zombies, and all I can say is thank god I was in normal mode I don't even wanna think about how hard mode folks are dealing with it because everything is a fucking bullet sponge.Once again a game turned to shit because soulsbros cried about difficulty.
>>749637591Its like garry's mod in hard mode since I spent like 2 minutes on ragdoll in the fight against satanachia with his laz0rs and the tornados, the damage scaling is not that bad, I guess, me and my pawn make meaty damage, the problem is most of the bosses have knockdown res cranked up to 11 so you cant stunlock
>>749637142Itsuno left Capcom over 2 years ago
>>749637142>no maneaters>no hydraNo vore, no buy.
>>749638820>no hydraLiterally how, it's like the coolest fight in DD1
>>749636295>a clear remake from the first game, even call the dlc the same>slap a 2 on it
>>749638919It's meta commentary on how repetitive video games and their sequels areor something
>>749637591DD2 goes from being piss easy to stunlocked/pushed off cliff oops you're dead. No inbetween
>>749638913I don't know. Maybe it was too big? I mean it was too big for over world encounters in the first game too, but they just put it in dungeons.
posted this in the wrong thread apparently >>749639464 please respond
>>749639651No, advanced vocations are still arisen-only.The new skill for sorcerer is a lightning whip.
Should I finish the game and head to the DLC on NG+?
>>749639884>advanced vocations are still arisen-onlyBullshit you're lying. I saw a pawn walking around as a Sorcerer and I remember this vividly because I browsed through their skills and saw Salamander.
>>749639981There's a bit of miscommunication happening here. Warrior and Sorcerer aren't "advanced" vocations in 2. That distinction no longer exists. There are "Arisen-only vocations" but they're never given a specific name outside of that phrase being in their description. Plus, weren't Pawns always allowed to be Warriors and Sorcerers in the first one? It was the hybrids they couldn't use.
>>749636295Ah Christ this one of those games where I need to follow a guide to the t to enjoy it because I’m not a kid anymore with months of free time?
>>749640130>weren't Pawns always allowed to be Warriors and Sorcerers in the first one?I genuinely don't remember. Yeah, I know they couldn't be stuff like Mystic Knight.
>>749640150no it's one of those games you'll play for 10 hours and feel like you've accomplished absolutely nothing
>>749640150based reddit gamerdad
>>749638820>No vore, no buy.Play the DLC first before you shitpost.
>>749640150There's like 6 points of no return the game doesnt warn you about and most side quests have some hidden condition you need to do to get the good ending and reward. So enjoy lol
>>749639981Pawns could always be sorcerers bro. That's not an advanced class. Advanced classes are mystic spearhand, magic archer, trickster, and warfarer.
>>749639981In DD1 pawns could be advanced classes but not hybrid classes, in DD2 there's no logic to how vocations work its just lol lmao
>>749640532>buy the dlc for things that should be in the base gamekill yourself cracpum shill
>>749639884>the newThere's two new skills for each vocation, lil bro
>>749641360There's a vore enemy, you stupid fucking faggot. The game and DLC have myriad problems. You don't need to invent shit that doesn't exist to complain. Only retarded shitskin children complain about games they don't play.
>>749636295>Walk for 30 seconds, fight 4 goblins>Walk for 30 seconds, fight 4 goblins>Walk for 30 seconds, fight 4 different color goblins>Walk for 30 seconds, fight 4 goblins>Walk for 30 seconds, fight 4 goblins>Kill dragon>The endBRAVO! KOJUMBO DID IT AGAIN! MASTERPIECE! ALL OF THEM!
>>749636295>instant auto savingAuto saves don't override your manual save and you can choose to reload your last manual save instead of the auto save when you die. Inn saves are also separate from both. This is all directly told to you like the first time you save but I guess you're an illiterate retard.
Hopefully one of these AI shills does stunting actually cool and ports DDO and DD1 monsters into DD2. Would be a genuinely cool use case for AI and prove it's ability. Assuming of course AI is as good as they all claim
>>749641587Go out at night and fight skeletons instead
>>749641419It's one new skill plus an upgrade/variant.
>>749642248No it's two new skills. One at the obelisk, and one from killing the Ghost at the Obelisks during Ruin-Night
>>749642248There’s more variants with weapon passives
>>749637142Isn't someone allegedly using AI to port enemies from 1 and online over?
>>749636295normalfag hands typed this
>>749642426Did not know about the ghosts. But then I've been farming Satanomachia since it unlocked.>>749642604I know I've got level 5 gear.
Eir's face is completely unmoving when you talk on the final elevator and because it zooms in and focuses on it, it looks really. She has no emotion or natural eye movements at all.
>>749642751Source of that?
>>749643880Source of what? Him asking a question?
>>749641587Goblins?
>>749640130>Warrior and Sorcerer aren't "advanced" vocations in 2. That distinction no longer exists.Then why does the icon difference persist, and why can't you start the game as one againYou're repeating lazy marketing spin as if it's reflective of any actual difference in the game, and not just corporate ass-covering to lower expectations for more vocations
>>749644364Got a source for the source of the question?
What is the easiest way to level vocations early on? I was trying to get some augments from stuff other than my main one.
>>749649773clear out an early game cave(s) over and over again. You can get to lvl 5-6 relatively quickly
Any other RPG games that have good enemy variety?
>>749641587Why do you people play Dragon's Dogma if not for the adventure? Do you want nothing dangerous or challenging when you're trekking through the wilderness?
>>749650834Maybe he’s talking about the dogshit enemy variety, dumbass.
>>749650834adventure is when you walk along linear paths fighting an endless stream of identical goblins that exclusively populate all major trade routes between towns, which you are subjected to as a purposeful annoyance as a sort of greek tragedy-style ironic punishment for not properly respecting the fruits of modern civilization and simply taking the bus- which is of course ignored by most such goblins per the contractual agreement they have to help bolster the public transport systemThis was clearly established in the seminal fantasy work 'The Lord of The Rings', which author J.R.R. Tolkien insisted until his death was not in any way allegorical or inspired by his traumatic experiences encountering foreigners while walking to the store
>Get to the gazer fight.>Two of my pawns died halfway through the dungeon to the brine.>Pick up the two in the locked cages.>They also throw themselves in the brine.>Get to Gazer with just me and my main pawn.>MASSIVE fucking HP, all of its balls except 1 immune at any time, can only hit 1 once before it puts up an immunity shield.>Keeps slapping us into the brine????????? is there a trick to this???
>>749636295My pawn is my beloved.
>>749636295>stuff is very easy to miss or screw up with instant auto savingAuto saves don't touch your manual saves or inn saves, and the game tells you right at the start (as you approach the inn tent in the tutorial camp) you should not rely on your auto save alone.
>>749652928yeah it leaves with full hp after you kill the balls
>>749653245The Interim Save didn't even exist until about a month ago. The game originally only had inn saves and the auto save. That's why it said the auto save was unreliable: they wanted to encourage you to use the inns more (since that's also what updates your Pawn online)
>>749640831>Brant straight up tells you to go do all you can before the coronation because things will change>The titan waking up warns you several times with cutaway scenes and then a quest literally titled "Guardian Gigantus">Unmoored World is behind several layers of obvious game ending actionsThere are no other points of no return besides these. And even the titan can be killed so early all it does is destroy one bridge>all the "hidden conditions" on quests are reading 10 words and spending 5 seconds thinking what they mean
>>749636295The first game has missables too, like letting the people kill the witch in the forest. How bad is it in DD2?
>>749640130arisen only vocations are always the hybrids, aka dual color ones. spearhand, trickster, wayfarer, and magic archer
>>749654030Warfarer only has one color
>>749654073Warfarer has a black color, aligning with it being quite literally a hybrid of every single possible vocation and thus associated with all colors at once
>>749653298Thanks I kept slapping eyes into its shield and eventually it ran away.Where do you fight it for real?
>>749654267unmoored world but finish dlc first it's at that power level
>>749654328Thanks
>>749636295>normalfag can't handle the tiniest bit of spice. fyi nothing is ever even missable because you can infinitely repeat the game. They threw you newbies a bone.
