So i'm gonna try "preset b" to get rid of the ghosting on subtitles + names, if that doesn't work is there another way? Or just take it and upgrade the rig.

>>750283662just stop using frame gen?
>>750283497Rapes my PC and I have to use 3x frame-gen to get a capped 90fps meaning 30fps input but the difference from PT to RT is easily noticable. It does introduce a fair amount of artifacting on some things like greatsword swings, fire particles (like the ones near the lava spots where you fight Talos), or around fires.The input latency to me is not as horrible as it sounds. I haven't manually checked the PCL yet with Frameview but I should do later to see how big of a hit it is. It doesn't feel like that much to me with how "slow" the game is relatively in terms of execution and I also play on controller rather than kb+m. I play at 3440x1440 with a 4080 Super and a 5800X3D using DLSS Quality.

mods work? i thought reframework hasnt updated yet for dlc
my pawn is looking at me like this lately
>>750284560i dont think that's true because i usually dont get any updates when sleepingthen after a while, not counting the time, i get hit with an update with like 20 gifts at once
>>750284745
>>750284710I saw this but the exposed muscles/whatever you want to call them look a bit too cartoony/flat. Maybe it's just the settings that the mod owner took the screenshots on though
>>750284590Make a copy of it at the forgery guy
>>750284796those are pity hires
>>750284841Yeah but like is there any other situation i will need it?
>>750284850i dont think jizzman6 giving her a ring is a pity hirealso pity hires only give thumbs up never hearts
>>750284808The textures for it are AI generated and I'm gonna assume they have no pbr textures, only the diffuse. I don't blame the modder, it's still impressive, AI or not. This engine is annoying to mod
>>750284867I don't remember use cases for progression, only loot right now
>>750284893>only give thumbs up never heartsthat is wrong
if an npc is blushing that means they love me right? whats the best way to lower it without outright killing them? how do i make my pawn love me
>>750284949What kinda loot then
Lol........
>Can't romance Ilsawtf capcom
>>750285010I didn't specify for a reason. Because there is no instance in the base game where opening a chest is really worth it

Norgan is more fun than the base game for me now. Did most of the Lost Rite dungeons (not the UW ones) so I was ready for it, and it's been great to explore.Concentrated good DD exploration with BBI gear system, it just werks.
>>750285276I had such a blast when I went to the DLC on release. I wish I could do a blind playthrough again
>>750285276that good? im enjoying exploring the basegame honestly is the dlc just that much better?
>>750285427>Im enjoying exploring the basegame honestlyThat's good but you will probably enjoy the DLC more. It's just paced better and more interesting in general
>>750285427The DLC could be its own game and adds stuff that seem like a natural progression of DD. Its so good its made me excited for more DD content again.
i need to romance hershe's so cuuute
>>750285427Base game is good, don't get me wrong. I very willingly spend a good 80 hours in it leading up to getting NG+ for the dlc/dungeons. And now the dlc is like a more compacted version of the stuff that is satisfying to do in basegame, at least that's how it's coming across to me.
>>750284745The hell is wrong with these damn freaks...!!!!
This just a better beastren mask?t.l Human
Just how good of a weapon do you need for enhanced Satanachia as a Thief? I've gotten a decent Battle Frenzy III roll with upgraded STR and while it works, the damage isn't great and the battle drags on a ton. Even lucked out on an upgraded enhanced jump helmet to use with Skull Splitter and the skill barely tickles him during phase 2.
Same trader sold me a tarred value nullify ring then sells me this ringSo traders have hidden items they sell once you buy something specific, oh great...
>finally get to kill Death without it just fucking off>my pawn was dead from a Belly-yay so I missed the badgecool thanks
Dogma Balls
>>750285960
>>750285846I played warfarer with thief skills and I ran>enhanced masterful kill>powder barrage>detonate and dash>battle frenzy IVAnd it's fine. Nothing groundbreaking of course but satanachia is very telegraphed so you just counter the attacks on which he doesn't teleport afterwards and when he is stuck in a slow recovering animation after attacks you slap powder barrage on his eye. Sometimes hes so slow you can do powder barrage and detonate and dash. For the rest skull splitter. Took me roughly 5-10 minutes per clear, depending on how well I did
Can you transmog basegame stuff?
>>750285754Why would you even need a beastren mask after you reach Bakbatahl?
>>750285754It's just a normal helmet with terrible stats. It was most likely part of the main quest in battahl that didn't make it into the game. You can get the rest of its set btw because the quest wasn't fully deleted but I don't remember how to do it anymore.
>>750286180No, you unlock transmog late in the DLC. At that point your gear is so strong it wouldn't even make sense to be able to transmog base game stuff
I'm too lazy to clone Ephemeral keys and just got the Sword & Shield.It's very weak and has no enchantments. Do I have to deliver the final blow with it equipped or what?
>>750285847Yes, one of the roaming merchants in Vermund sells you a Golden Bettle after you spend 10k gold
>>750286219Theres a bar that only sells shit to beastren
>>750286331Yeah, but there's other ways to obtain that liquor
>>750286180You can take their appearance, not their stats. The new gear is just better and has traits.Transmog shouldve been there at the start of the DLC just so people actually use it as they are levelling up, you only see transmog at quite high levels as they have unlocked it
Can you teleport with an escort npc?
>>750287038Yes
>>750287038Yes**it tends to work on story quests, but not random escort quests

>>750284745No don't do it! I'm a virgin!
Moon loli status?
>>750284736Anon, please google nightly versions and read the text on the GitHub page. Keep them in mind for the future.
Alright, I'm finally done with the first region and after playing for like 15 hours total and arriving in checkpoint town I have no desire to continue honestly, all the enemies I saw were goblins, green goblins, lizards, cyclops and a few ogres. No challenge whatsoever, no reason to explore dungeons, even tho I did it anyway, because there's a wakestone fucking shard as a reward 99% of the time. Quests are boring too. Good thing that I got it with 100% discount, otherwise I would've been immensely disappointed. Maybe I'll play some more just to see the new region but holy fuck this is the most mid game I've played in my life.
>>750285427Honestly it just feels like another section of the base game map to me, I don't really see why everyone is hyping it up as something entirely new. It's a good map, story and bunch of fights though.
Post some GAMEPLAY
>>750287710kino status?
WE KINO?
>>750285272>Don't pick them upPawns are for carrying.
>>750287093>>750287038It's guaranteed to work on random escort quests if you pick them up and throw the ferrystone while they're over your shoulder.
>>750282929Mine runs well but it is still boring as fuck dogshit
>>750287635The base game has the problem of just being wide roads with some dead end caves, the DLC is actually wide open and has multiple paths that loop around and theres dungeons underneith the map that often connect to eachother and open different routes. Its a smaller map with a lot more packed into it and incentivizes exploring because of the loot system, youll often want to go back to places youve been just to get some more items to appraise or fight a boss for drops, of which, the enemy spawns change unlike the base game, they move location.The moving bosses makes me feel like the base game shouldve had "hunts" too, with how you get pawn quests.
>>750287710Sometimes you just get reminded that your big ass sword and armour weigh nothing in comparison
>cyclops spawns inside city when i teleport>npcs don't even move, don't even reaction to it. i mean, how the fuck did it get inside? and if you can't be bothered to explain it at least despawn the npcs or make them run idk
>>750288073They usually do react so it likely just bugged out
So what more non-boss monsters from mythology can they add?I'm talking goblin/saurian/harpy tier monster.Sirens/mermaids are out because of brine
>>750288192
>>750288013The base game is also like that though, there's a massive amount of layered areas, alternate paths, winding caves, etc to find. Likewise the DLC has a shitload of wasted space and areas never worth venturing, even more so as you progress when the best way to get relics is running to boss arenas essentially.Don't get me wrong you can probably safely say Norgan is much better at all of this, but if you enjoy Norgan you'll almost certainly enjoy the base game or vice versa. Or if you hated the base game maps, Norgan doesn't do much of anything to alleviate it's problems. It's just an upgrade and not a new system.
>>750288482Giant bugs of any kind is welcome, but normies are still pretending they all need arachnophobia modes in videogames
>>750288192When I saw Trickster, I thought Fae enemies that used similar spells would be neat. Stuff like creating fake bridges, extending rocky outcrops past where they actually end, or disguising other enemies as destructible environments so you'll be duped into attacking them by mistake. Probably very hard to implement well though.
I'm hoping this is the evil eye area
Playing fighter or warrior myself is just so fucking slow and the damage seems kinda meh compared to archer
>>750288904KWABOTY
>>750288901Together we can manifest the next DLC as an Elven Kingdom being attacked by the culmination of fallen Pawns that have gained a will and all the new designs will be based on Fae, with the twist being that they're trying to enforce their own Order onto the eternal cycle in opposition of both the great will and the demons.
>>750289168>game looks immaculate>colors poppingteach me master
>>750288617I disagree entirely, I feel like we played different games. I absolutely think this is a vast improvement to the base games map on all fronts. Its a direct improvement over the base game to the point where I would say that if you didnt like the base game you might like this, if you liked the base game youll love this. The base game is like the stretched everything out and made it all thin, Norgan is like they condensed it. It feels more focused. If they do another game do not do it like base game, do it like Norgan. Do not add areas like Volcanic Island and Battahl. See that giant mountain across for Vermund? Instead of it just being dead space put a dungeon in it with shortcuts to the other side etc.
>>750289214use HDRturn off ingame post processing filter via graphics suite litedl renodx to make HDR actually usableuse dlss 4.5 presets (M or L)that's about it
>>750284516Try looking at this image on ur phone anon
>>750288617I don't think the DLC had a single piece of content I didn't engage with. I generally had fun exploring everything and I didn't feel like it ever wasted my time.The problem is that itsuno has all these elaborate gameplay mechanics where his thought probably was>How can we make it inconvenient or unique to the playerinstead of>How can we make it fun for the playerMissable quests, caves with nothing in them, fucktons of NPCs with no depth, go here, fetch that, your reward? 2000G, salubrious draught. the list goes on.Thats the strength of norgan, there is less clutter everywhere. Of course it isn't perfect, but it's still a breath of fresh air despite utilizing the same mechanics of the base game. Walking under the castle and encountering a demon for the first time was genuinely x100 more interesting than anything you can find in the base gameIf you disagree with the unique or inconvenient take, just take a look at the riddle of wisdom from the base game. It's genuinely a bad joke. Trying to come up with the solution yourself at release and then finding out about it was not even fun or an "ohhhh..." effect, it was just cheap
Did they neuter Sorcerer pawn AI on this dlc? Overworld is fine, but any closed spaces like Lost Rites or Vortexes they just derp around and don't cast shit.Doing a Lost Rite dungeon as Fighter was the worst experience ever. Even the Mage kept being a retard.Switched to Warfarer to get things done by myself.
>>750289510It's because there is too much shit going on that the AI can't handle. They don't have space to cast in peace because there enemies and spells everywhere so they have to react to that
>>750288192Bears as forest wildlife minibosses.Little imps to expand the new demon theme of enemies.Expand on elves/dwarves including hostile factions.Vampires.
I don't get how to do parries on warrior, do I have to charge my shit and time the release exactly when my guy flashes blue and also when the enemy guy swings his weapon?
>>750283486If you want to make a pawn that looks like a girl, just make a girl. You can even giver her a masculine voice so you can pretend that she is a troon
>>750289421It's crazy people still play without hdr in almost 2027
>>750282929I did the Rite where you could only be either Magick archer or Archer and holy shit the drake in there is a fucking damage sponge.
>>750286389i use it to buy rotten meat, although only once in a while because the restock rate is shit
>>750283330Thanks, I was looking for something like this. Hard mode exp gains are a little too crazy.
>>750288981It's the complete opposite in late-/endgame
>>750289831>>750289421HDR is greyed out for some reason in DD2's graphics options even though I have an HDR monitor, a 9070xt, have HDR enabled on my display settings ect.More people would use HDR if it wasn't such a cluster fuck.
>>750289857I found the dlc stuff on normal moderately challenging. It's still "easy" in the sense you're virtually immortal with preparation, but I took some mortal damage here and there getting gangbanged or not being able to react in time to stuff like Satan's barrage or Eye's chaincasts because I didn't account for animation end lag.
>>750289510use the pawn ai mod
>>750289419>>750289507>absolutely think this is a vast improvement to the base games map on all fronts.Yes, an improvement of the same exact content. It's still the same design philosophy in terms of level design, flaws and all. There's still no reason to explore caves or the more open areas, the only rewards that you get are the same useless ones as the basegame. The enemies reward you more now as a band-aid fix, but eventually you're given only disincentives to search for them because the post DLC experience is just running to highlighted markers to fight boss encounters. I feel like this is just another case of BBI syndrome where everyone claims it's the best experience mainly because the fights and overall experience was better due to being condensed, while the actual design or balance and enemy variety problems are still pretty much the same. Like the example the second anon used of why Norgan is 100x better is running into a scripted demon fight during the main story quest. Are you guys even being serious?
>>750289992I'm seriously considering changing from Magick Archer to something else but I don't knwo to what.
>>750289960this sounds like you have freesync premium pro capable monitor (this is some sort of extra HDR shit built into hardware)anyway install latest reshade 6.8.0 (the addon version) and dl renodx from dd2 nexus which bypasses that shit, maybe it'll work then
>>750289960You can always fall back on reshade to get the job done, and remove the fog effects on modern games too while you're at it.
>>750285427>is the dlc just that much better?Yes.
>>750287956Don't think I ever saw my Pawn say this. Mine is Calm though, so guessing it's inclination based.
>>750290054I was playing Fighter but went back to Warfarer using S&S + Magick Bow. Glacial Bolt does a lot of damage and I don't even have Battle Frenzy in it, unless the one in my sword counts for the character as a whole.Before that I was spamming Corkscrew Arrow with a bow, but it's nice to have magic attacks on demand and the nastiest enemies won't let you cast augural flame properly. I also think the devs don't want you doing that anymore because sometimes it seemed to trigger while they were teleporting around and it was wasted.
>>750289214ReshadeLiterally any videogame can be made to look like that
>>750289869why would you need rotten meat?
>>750290030>Yeah post-DLC after you're done there is no point in exploring anymore!>But this during-the-DLC setpiece while exploring doesn't count! Because it just doesn't ok!?Kek make up your mind man you can't have it both ways
>>750283330Oh neat, you can even adjust the damage enemies deal. Having them do double damage feels a lot better.
>>750290343nta but it distracts wargs
>>750290343Your best friend against Blobs.
Blast havers, should I finish the base game first and go to Norgan on NG+? Currently playing on hard mode.
>put actual useful shit in boxes and pots>spend literally every moment breaking everything the entire dlcits really that simple
>>750290496No need to wait for NG+, just do it during the playthrough. Start it before unmoored because you can't get there if you dont do it by then
>>750290591Did they fix NG+? I remember when DD2 first came out, NG+ was a joke.
>>750290660There's nothing to fix. It's just another cycle to do leftover or trophy stuff.
>>750290445Yeah, but wargs are pretty scarce in DD2 and in Norgan they're just pushovers once you get good gear.>>750290483I'll give you that, but they're not that common at least not to point of needing a constant supply of rotten meat.
>>750290496Do the 9 Lost Rites in pre Unmoored World with basegame end gear, then go to Norgan and play up until you get decked in Norgan level 3 gear, then go back to the base game and start Unmoored World so you can do the 3 Lost Rites only available in Unmoored World and then go back to Norgan.This is a really awkward path but it lets you get the most out of both the Lost Rites and Norgan. The Lost Rites are legitimately really good and I think really deserve to be played at the proper gear level so you don't just breeze through it.
>>750289192I could see this fae stuff work atleast in design. DDON had interesting designs and even an ent. I always found the alchemised evil eye an interesting concept. Fae being this on the surface good and divine looking thing while maliciously corrupting beings to do their bidding could work. Maybe not for the cycle though. Since dd2 this entire cycle plot is convoluted
>>750290496I would say yes, the problem with Norgan is that even the shit tier equipment you get from there outclasses the dragonforged end game gear so the base game becomes trivial, even in Hard mode.
>>750290903Shame that theres 0 incentive to get maingame endgear at all
>>750290030>There's still no reason to explore caves or the more open areasWhen playing the DLC you need to get new gear, you do not immediately start in and have access to level 4 gear anon, you need to loot and explore to get stuff to use. Exploring to find and reveal items that can change your build adds miles more than exploring a cave once because there is never any reason to go there again because the only item in there was an all heal elixer>The enemies reward you more now as a band-aid fix, but eventually you're given only disincentives to search for them because the post DLC experience is just running to highlighted markers to fight boss encounters. Which is more than the base game which has static spawns, and linear gear progression, the same enemies always spawn in the same locations and there is best in slot items. At least in the DLC the enemies are moved around the map every time you sleep, and can spawn randomly even when they arent marked on the map, and now you can make builds because the gear is by preference, not simply "this one has bigger numbers", it can change your playstyle so you want to collect more just to make different builds>I feel like this is just another case of BBI syndrome where everyone claims it's the best experience mainly because the fights and overall experience was better due to being condensedYes? Ill say it like this; Would you rather have another DLC that is more like the base game, or another DLC like DA2. Which one do you think would be a much better game even with the most minimal of effort applied to it.Base game is not bad, but the DLC is the base game done better. It goes from mid, to actually good.>Norgan is 100x better is running into a scripted demon fight during the main story quest. Are you guys even being serious?Literally yes. A designed encounter is not bad just because it was designed.
I had more fun doing the lost rites than the entirety of base game in dd2
>>750290962Makes me wish there was an infinite dungeon of some sort with a bunch of traps and stuff that can even do what BBI does where it just repeats maps and moves enemies around. Some of them were actually quite long.
>>750290942I mean it makes sense considering enemies don't scale with your level and the DLC dropped 2 years after the main game.I think DD:DA had the same issue.
Why did itsuno make every rift stone broken by default?It kind of diminishes the origin of them being broken in dark arisen because of how cursed BBI was
>>750288192Giant Enemy CrabMenacingly Large SpiderSignificantly Sizable ScorpionOozlum Bird that drops rare loot and you have to catch it in time or else it disappears up its own buttHippocampusHippogriffPegasusPixies / FaeriesCait SithVorpal Rabbit / WolpertingerVampireDryadsDjinni of the Lamp, coming at you with Sphinx like bullshit
>>750290892To add to that, DDON surprisingly has infected designs that would fit way better into the whole brine corruption stuff
>>750291117Because you better watch this immersive animation gaijin
>>750290903Basically if I go to Norgan before finishing the base game, it will trivialize it too much when I'm back?I bought the game on release, but waited for them to fix it to start playing, so I neve actually experienced the basegame before the DLC. That's why I'm asking.
>>750291138The infected griffin kinda looks like one of the unmoored world dragons so they have definitely got inspiration from this for dd2
>>750291278Yes
>>750283486damn is that a brapboi?not fucking bad
>>750285427absolutely, but you should enjoy the base game as much as you can before tackling itgoing back to vermund with dlc equipment makes everything there even easier than it already was
>>750291120Tree men would be cool.But they need dragon lore where dragon scales are seeds that turn into evil trees
>>750291278>Basically if I go to Norgan before finishing the base game, it will trivialize it too much when I'm back?Yes, do what this anon says >>750290762Except I would just finish the game at that point and do Norgan on NG+. Cause you unlock the option to go Norgan once you reach the capital and talk to Brant.
>>750291440female that posed as a femboy
>>750291138Are they just designs or are they properly implemented in-game?
Capcom here, what Dragons Dogma monsters would you like to see in the MonHun collab?
>>750288192Kobolds, gnolls,troglodyte,orcs,skavens and some different humans like demon cultists who can summon demons or heavy armored knights
>finish DLC + get to the very end of the unmoored world to get the last pieces of unique armor for fashion>the game fucking ends and you don't have a sandbox to mess around in your new fashion onWhat the fuck. This game needs a 2nd DLC.
>>750291612The drakes and fimbl make the most sense.
>>750291662NG+?>This game needs a 2nd DLC.True
>>750290892You don't need to create another divine identity situation, just design a new "force" based on them. That's why I suggested Pawns that gained a will due to their master now acting out against the system or trying to create a world where Pawns aren't separated from their Masters. That way you don't need to change any lore around and make it convoluted. They'd just be the same entities as the Demons, only with a different driving force that spawns them.
>This game needs a 2nd DLC.already on the way bros :)
>>750291662Its called NG+
>>750291662Hell, the 2nd DLC doesn't even need to be big. Just finish the goddamn base game story and finish up some loose ends on the side quests within the desert area.
>>750291716>NG+no point. You're overlevelled and everything is a breeze. I want a NG+ from level 1 but i get to keep all of my armor, at least for transmog.
can you bros guess which one is my arisen?
>>750291571Some of them are but they serve more as variations
They could pull random stuff from the short lived mobile game too.
>>750291117The rift stones in BBI are fucked because Daimon is an asshole and making things around him corrupt.The rift stones in vanilla DD2 are fucked because Rothais is an asshole and has been stalling the Cycle possibly for millennia.The rift stones in vanilla DD1 are okay because despite big dick Grigori's infamy, he hasn't been delaying the Cycle for too long.Also adds the elements of -The restored Riftstones with unique traits for pawns that you can then select at a big stone-One-Time Stones that randomly pops out one guy
So if i started a fresh new game and i wanted to get OP as fuck as fast as possibleWhats the tech
>>750291816Theres absolute 0 monetary incentive behind "fix up the base game" unfortunately.
>>750290224Augural flare is still OP if you build for it, the sole thing stopping you from killing super Stan on hard with a stack of flares is he has an invuln phase
>>750291939Hecatoncheires seems like it'd be a fun fight. Make it huge like that one Cyclops in BBI.

>>750292287skill issue
>>750292240>not a single one that combines thief and archer to make Strider or gives the magick archer daggers to switch toYou dont need a mod. Just play Warfarer. There are even mods that let you use maister skills if you feel like cheating.
What happened to the >itsuno visionHow did we go from this to talos? Imagine encountering this while exploring
Finna need a guide where to get all maister skills
>>750292287>pressing a single button to switch weapons is clunkyReally? Imagine how much worse a mod would be
>>750291089Kinda, but 1: there were only 3 tiers of gear and tier 1 was basically end game main game gear.2: you could dragonforge it so the jump from tier 1 to tier 2 wasn't even that big3: tier 3 was pretty much only available after killing matt daimon once.So you pretty much had only two tiers of gear that were stronger than main base stuff and like 1/3 of the dlc you would still be using main base gear. In dd2 even fully dragonforged gear is immediately outclassed by tier 1 shit from dlc.
>>750292359What the fuck even is Talos?
>>750282929dd2:da is worse than dd1:daalso the pawn ai is still totally fucked from that patch

>>750292585>He just really got into greek aesthetics during DD2 development dont worry about it>DD2The series has always been about this. Both Cassardis and Gran Soren are based on Mediterranean architecture. Harpies, Hydra, Cyclops and Chimera etc are Greek monsters, and the Skeletons were animated to look like the stop motion from Jason and the Argonautshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx5LALHV3E0It was a huge influence right from the start, not the only one (there's also Berserk, old school D&D etc), but a big one.

Played game on release. Finished it. Now I'm continuing in NG+ but I forgot everything.
>>750292932I can't believe Rovall died from sugma.
>>750292441It's a giant automaton that awakens and acts to prevent disruptions to the cycle, when Phaesus was threatening to break it all down he awakened. There's a bunch of lore and implications about it spread all throughout Battahl, but most people never read them (and I only remember some of it myself).
>>750293069A real tragedy.
>>750293121you can see one of them dead in the lost rites dungeons in unmoored
>>750292441Talos is a failsafe made by the Brine/Oblivion to stop the dragon in the event it tries to actually destroy everything instead of being the big bad evil guy
>>750293121Wait, is it those plaques scattered around that talk about finding something terrible underground?
>>750292460Meh, you're just a bitch. After playing DD2:DA, I can't go back to 1. Part 2 is just the better game at this point.
>>750293196But they can't have discovered Talos, could they? Talos was way out in the ocean, and there's nowhere in Battahl I can remember that goes anywhere deep or far enough. The closest thing I can remember is the research lab, where they've got a dragon skeleton somehow.
>>750293369Tell me about the prawns. Why do they avoid the brine?
>warfarer gets absolutely nothing for the dlcBros... how do we save warfarer?
>>750293196Nta but I think what they found was evidence of previous cycles, I don’t remember what exactly they dug up but they were excavating in the area around moonglint tower
>>750293179Yeah, it's not a specific guy or entity. It's literally a giant mecha that's piloted by something's will, hence why our pawn can hijack it.>>750293196I don't remember that part specifically, but some of the researchers talk about it before you ever see it. It's mentioned in notes and flavour text as well. There's actually a ton of lore that most people will never in this game, both important to the story and mundane local stuff.
So when I enter the base game endgame...is sleeping the only thing that force progresses it or if I spend a bunch of days (and nights?) traversing the land and foightin' roun' the world will it progress down too? Like a bunch of days just running around killing shit.
>>750293395With the state that some of those blocks are, I wouldn't be that surprised if they're from around Rothais' time. I have stumbled across a Battalhi guy from Phaseus' lab studying one but I don't think those are the guys who uncovered them. SO they could be a lot older.
>>750292879You cant transmog maingame gear tho
>>750292879capes
>>750293531it's just sleeping that advances the fog, but apparently now, with 2D2A (2Dark 2Arisen), you can just ferry to Norgan and sleep as much as you want.
>>750292320She has a blue icy mint-flavored sister
>>750292893This is a reach. It's mostly based on dungeons & dragons. I don't recall greek mythology having beholders or goblins. The similarities start and end with the monsters. Gran soren does not look like a greek city and cassardis is just a standard fishing village. You can take a look through the DD1 art book, there are no signs of greek references anywhere. It's mostly based on medieval europeThe only valid mention is jason and the argonauts. In fact I just remembered that this nigga itsuno straight up just copied the entire concept of talos from it>itsunovisionhttps://youtu.be/8goVW2TNlE0?t=426
>>750293453With mods, of course.
>>750283063My white whale holy grail mod still doesn't exist. Showing all equipped weapons on warfarer.
>>750293453Warfarer got 9 new skills…
Can I kill the sphinx before she can escape and shit in base game? Should I? I do like boobs...
>>750293878let me guess. six skills for every vocation and meister skills? a bit over the top
>>750293830Harryhausen Skeletons were in DD1, and most of the big monsters front and centre in DD1's lineup are specifically the greek ones.I thought it was pretty obvious that there was a strong Grecian aspect to DD1 paired with the standard western fantasy D&D aesthetic.
>>750293121I did, the entire thing just makes no sense in lore. So first of this thing is sitting down there with rothais for some reason. You could argue okay it's keeping an eye on him. But then it activates for phaeseus and chases him. And then you stop it despite its goal aligning with yours? If it activates to prevent disruptions to the cycle it didnt have to awake at all because it is very clearly shown that whatever phaeseus was cooking was fucking dogshit and was never gonna work
>>750294117yeah, you should, because that's how you get into the huge golden chest.
>>750293830The Lost Rite dungeons are all full of Greek warrior statues. The vast majority of "ancient" stuff in DD2 is basically all Greek material.And Cassardis is absolutely Greek. It's even in the name.
>>750294117If you fight you dont kill her, she says "sick fight, heres a reward"Should be noted that you need to attack her ass first, not her head, there is a really obscure clue that lets you know that if you attack the head you instantly lose aand she flies off.
>>750294145Personally I tend to just take the flashier and more fun skills of each vocation regardless of its effectiveness. I've actually ended up in more unique scenarios or finding specific solutions by having a variety of weaker situational skills available.Suits me fine, if I did want to cheese stuff then every Vocation has some insane combination that beats the game by itself, no need for a modded Warfarer to do that.
>>750293830>It's mostly based on dungeons & dragons. I don't recall greek mythology having beholders or goblinsHence ONE of the inspirations, not the only inspiration anon. Fucking hell.> Gran soren does not look like a greek city and cassardis is just a standard fishing village.They are based on Mediterranean medieval cities, especially Sicily. The ancient Greek aesthetics are used for monsters and in game ancient structures, like the Tainted Mountain.
>>750294353you're right. the wheel menu of it is good enough. i can just refuse to abuse it.
I got a Switch controller to replace my old one. How do I get the game to recognize the gyro? I want to give Archer a real try instead of just blasting explosive arrows everywhere, as fun as that is.
>>750291872Ah now I get it.I believe that there are some mods that changes levels your own level, not sure if it also alters stats. But if you're going for might as well add some mod that makes enemies stronger, there was a bestiary mod I used before the DLC, but I'm not sure if it was updated after that.>>750291876I suppose one of the three that is wearing Norgan armor. So I'm gonna guess the chad warrior wearing a dress in the back
>>750294543fiddle about with your steaminput settings?
>>750294117>I do like boobs...based tastehttps://files.catbox.moe/pnsyo3.jpg
>>750294184>And then you stop it despite its goal aligning with yours?It's a giant fucking monster that suddenly awakened out of nowhere. You don't truly know what it is or what it's doing, but you do know that it is endangering countless lives. Why does stopping it confuse you?>If it activates to prevent disruptions to the cycle it didnt have to awake at all because it is very clearly shown that whatever phaeseus was cooking was fucking dogshit and was never gonna workIt didn't work as he envisioned it, but his plan absolutely did fuck up the cycle. Afterwards (you) had to fix it to achieve the "normal" ending, and in the "true ending" Phaesus and Rothais' bullshit both serves to create an opportunity for the Arisen to break it even further than that.
>>750291924I would have like if they put a bit more effort in the reskins for the corrupted monsters in the lost rites for DA.Them being just beefed up versions of existing monster but with purple eyes was just lazy.
>>750294607The Steam settings seem to know the gyro is there, and I can see it reading the motions. But the game itself says the controller's gyro is unsupported or something. I feel stupid because I'm pretty sure I'm just missing something super obvious.
>>750291939That chimera with three snake heads looks sick
>>7502947973? i can only see 2
What level is this magical stat cap at anyway? Should I mod the game to stop at a certain level so people might actually use my pawn?
Do I need to farm the 3 morbid thingies every time I want to fight Great Satan?
>>750294161I think if that was the case you would find more of it in armor and weapon design. I would never say it played absolutely no role in dragons dogma but to say it was dominantly greek inspired is plain wrong.>>750294502You double nigger you implied it was the predominant design choice for dragons dogma 1.>The series has always been about this Not anywhere in your original post theres a mention of just "its one of the many inspirations". Because if you said that it would have no relevance to my point that this nigga itsuno got REALLY into mediterranean designs for DD2. This anon is right but it's exactly my point.>>750294249Nowhere in DD1 can you see as much on-the-nose greek designs as in the sequel. This wasn't the case for DD1. The monsters come from D&D>>750294249I mean yeah that was my whole point that he got really into greek designs for DD2. I never argued that
>>750291939I'm surprised we didn't get a Cerberus like Worg, or a Manticore based off the Chimera model. A Lammasu coudln't have been that hard either; just give the Sphinx a mastectomy and change the face to a male with a beard.
>>750294926Pretty much, though I found that if he shows up you can chase him through the Portal and you seem to keep your morbid items.You generally want to grab 3 upgraded rancors per cycle anyway, so it's fine.
I've been playing since it released and still not even done yet, still gotta beat satan and then go back and finish the unmoored lost rites. Starting to get burnt out though and dreading going back to the main game since I have to go through all the story quests again to unlock unmoored world since this is ng+. It's good overall but I loathe the rng loot system, that's by far my biggest complaint. The new region is much better than anything in the main game though. As for my main vocation, spearhand, I like the new clone skill but I'm not really feeling the gravity field. It seems alright but I don't really have any other skills that I want to sacrifice for it and it sort of just does what I can already do with foreboding/scattering bolt. It should've just been a damaging skill, like MS's version of Stone Jungle. It looks cool though but it's hard to tell how much extra damage it's adding to "dive" attacks. I'm assuming by dive attacks, it means fangtooth and jumping heavies since those are the only two moves that have downward thrust motions that would logically be improved with more gravity. Maybe I gotta use it some more though since I only recently got it. I hope the unmoored lost rites are good.
>>750294740Eh, its understandle within the DLC scope. They had other things to worry about
>>750294926I had like 14 just from one rotation cause I was looking for Death and he kept avoiding me for some reason
>>750295003He showed up only once but I didn't know you could chase him.By the point I am now I think I'd have to farm a lot and expect good rolls. Time to call it quits.DLC was 10/10 compared to the base game.
>>750295003>3 upgraded rancorsYou mean the vortexes?If so, just put a portcrystal at the summit and farm the devouring one. It resets after resting at the inn. No point in ever touching the other red vortexes
>>750294974Nope, DD1 always had a huge Greek influence. It's not exclusive to DD2.
>>750283063>>750283135>cheat modspathetic faggots
>>750292439So the difference is even more jarring when you go back to the base game. I wonder why they designed it that way.For DA2 they could have easily just lured old players into false of sense of security with their endgame gear until suddenly you encounter some really nasty enemy that gapes your ass until you get Tier 3 gear.
>>750283226>>750283330that mod but also bestiary and dullahan if it ever gets fixed (please fix it soon, Nick)
>>750294974>Always been about thisdoes not imply that it is in the only thing it is about, especially when the last sentence of my post indicates it is one of a number of important influences. Maybe if you didn't fly into an autistic rage at the drop of hat you could read the rest of the post.> got REALLY into mediterranean designs for DD2Hardly any more than the original. Vermund follows the same medieval Mediterranean design cues as Gransys. Battahl is modeled after MENA. The Ancient Greece stuff only comes out for the in universe ancient things like the Lost Rites, Sphinx Temple etc and many of the monster designs (following on from DD1).
>>750292359That would be a bitch to climb onto.
>>750295214That happens in the lost rites lol
>>750293029Truly the best way to enjoy the DLC
>>750283706>using both title theme replacersyou retard
Is Hard Mode start going to fuck my experience for the DLC? Like I'm going to probably walk into the DLC at level 100 at this rate.
>>750283863https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1723?tab=filesuse the shut up pawns mod here
>>750284867>Yeah but like is there any other situation i will need it?it works for every single jail door
>>750294862Oh right, I confused the goat head, though if it has 2, why not make it 3?
>>750295415Levels past 40 are borderline empty levels and past like 70 give almost nothing levels do not matter
Works on my machine!
>>750295415Levels don't matter. Hard mode will make you cry come endgame dlc and ghoul swarms make you melt wakestones and yeet your pawns.It's designed so the extra exp makes you catch-up really quick if you want to jump into the DLC. Stat growths become irrelevant around lv50 and when gear bonuses become vastly bigger nanbas.
>>750294974>would never say it played absolutely no role in dragons dogma but to say it was dominantly greek inspired is plain wrong.You really think so? All the monsters are based on their mythological designs more than D&D counterparts (which is a dumb point anyway since D&D copies them from mythology, the cities are all explicitly Mediterranean especially Gran Soren and Cassardis, the naming conventions are all greek like Grigori, even the fashion is heavily influenced by greek fashion, etc. It's been a massive part of the series from day one.
>>750295415It won't matter. DLC has the same gear stat bloat as the original. Any stat gain from levels will be more than balanced out by Hard Mode, and the normal mode end game DLC is balanced around 200+ anyway.
>>750295003>if he shows upnigga wat?I didn't know he could do that, I thought only death appeared in them
>>750295415Levels don't matter, it's all about the gear. Your job exp is considerably more relevant than whatever stat boosts you get from levelling.
>>750285086you can romance her whore sister, after she's done being the cumrag for those vermund soldiers and scholar
>>750289756Same, I haven't landed a single one.
>>750284867There are odd locked doors here and there but these almost always have a makeshift gaol key near them.
>>750282929So is it safe to sell all base game gear, or do you need it for transmog?
>>750295530But I need people to summon my Bastet to tank for them. Which I assume is Fighter with Provocation and Disfavor ring and nothing else.
>>750295274Can't say I noticed, since I did the rites only in Hard difficulty so, they were already challenging. But when I got to Norgan, I didn't notice that much of jump in difficulty, other than the basic enemies having an annoying amount of health and knockdown resistance.
>>750295603D&D was a huge inspiration to the point they made Dragon's Dogma art referencing D&D's manual, I think 1st edition or so?I know autism makes you people take things in a literal manner, but a piece of work can use more than one inspiration.
>you can riotous fury without a shield nowShieldless chads, our time has come!
>>750283063did someone aislop some mod that makes characters not ugly as fuck?
>>750295786Even the first game fucking did it, too.
OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
>>750295661If you've owned something in your inventory at any point, it unlocks that as a transmog option. The cost of transmog is decreased by 80% if you own the item though.I would keep your stuff, it will be easier to work out if you're missing stuff from basegame vendors and they added a Filter function that you can use to hide non-DLC gear when you're searching through storage.>>750295786I think it's pretty clear that DD1 is structured as a northern european style culture with D&D influences, but that it was built on top of a world that was once Greek in nature, and so the monsters and older architecture have that aesthetic to them. The city is modern and follows modern trends, whilst Cassardis is a village that keeps old customs.
>>750295881>>750295786>two things can't be true at the same time, the game was either influenced by Greek mythology OR D&D, it cannot be both!
>>750295786>D&D was a huge inspiration to the point they made Dragon's Dogma art referencing D&D's manual, I think 1st edition or so?That has nothing to do with whether the first game was mainly focused on greek designs and aesthetics or not. Gran Soren is basically just Sicily, Chimera is explicitly not the D&D version, and so on.>I know autism makes you people take things in a literal manner, but a piece of work can use more than one inspiration.Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
i'm about to jump in for the first time but I need to be hooked within the 2 hour refund period.can this run it?
>>750295257>Vermund follows the same medieval Mediterranean design cues as GransysUnlike you I already posted a screenshot of OFFICIAL concept art and if you bothered to look at it and stopped being a contrarian for the fuck of it you would've seen that this is objectively false. Even more so in DD2. Just because the geography is reminiscent of sicily and the mediterranean doesn't mean the architecture and the rest of the design is. Look at the fucking official concept art man. >>750295142Pic is more likely based on petra so its not hugely greek influenced
>>750296159yeah, you'll be fine
>>750295603>grigori is a greek naming convention
>>750296006This nigga is the only one here that correctly sorted the right architecture styles to gran soren and cassardis
>>750296484yes
>>750289756You dont have to do a perfect timing release. You can hold down your charge and release later when the enemy attacks. The charge attack parry is difficult to do with most skills because of how it works. Your weapon has to actually collide with the enemy's attack hurtbox before their attack reaches you. But since nearly every enemy is bigger than you, their attacks are almost always coming from above so your horizontal charged attacks are never going to collide with their attacks before they hit you. Indomitable Lash and Heavenward Sunder are good attacks for practicing the charged attack parries because they put your sword above your character. The easiest attack to practice this one is when a Drake flies above you and slams down, you can Heavenward Sunder and get the parry off 100% of the time.
Is this gay retard actually arguing that the fucking Cyclops Harpy Chimera Griffin Medusa Hydra Minotaur game isn't Greek as fuck
>>750296484Yes?
Slaying monsters is ancient Greek hero shit. Helps when half the monsters are ancient Greek myths.
>>750296791Erm no sweetie D&D invented that
>>750296656no centaurs no greek
>>750296330Go look up some Med cities that have preserved their medieval architecture and compare them to Gran Soren.
>>750282929Can you have a loli pawn yet? I downloaded the character creator and noticed they got rid of lolis and added furries, and never bought this slop

This is what a D&D Chimera looks like. For the retards out there, note the wings and the fact that the snake has been replaced with a dragon. Also note that this is different from the DD Chimera, which follows the classical Greek depiction as seen here >>750296080

why is this thread so autistic currently?also, Norgan is clearly Norse inspired so they should start adding more Norse mythical creatures
>>750298750I would have done something like the Pawn's will transferring to his sister to continue protecting her master or something, but any kind of imagination~ headcanon like yours is based.
>>750298963They did, they added barbaric Germoids
>>750298963No it's Hindu inspired

>>750299210your mom is hindu inspired
>>750298919I reckon the entire thing was just them trying to one up the Monster Hunter team. It took them like a year to get Zorah Magdaros working, and it still takes a loading screen to go from siege to fighting on the monster. Talos is seamless, and interacts with the same open world the player occupied. And just like Zorah a complete waste of resources and dev time.

>>750299357That's probably right. It's so weird, it almost feels cool. It's so close, but for some reason you don't do anything believable to defeat it you just attack these things that are stuck in it for some reason, and watch a bunch of cat men shoot little arrows at it

>>750300652A little higher res for you anon
>>750289507>The problem is that itsuno has all these elaborate gameplay mechanics where his thought probably was: "How can we make it inconvenient or unique to the player">instead of: "How can we make it fun for the player"being inconvenient and unique is funthe more I age the more I enjoy and admire games that don't compromise their design just to appeal to casualsthe problem with base DD2 was first and foremost Capcom axing the game's development halfway through to rush it out the door, thereby being tragically unfinnishedand secondly, I would say that Itsuno should've gone in harder on the DnD esque inconveniences and challenges (balanced out by more gameplay options)
>>750291568>female that posed as a femboyStraight to jail.
>>750301440you can have unique gameplay elements without being full blown hostile to the player like base game DD2 was
>>750301596Friction is important, without it we lose soul
>>750301596>full blown hostile to the playerAre you really still this pissed off about the Sphinx riddle?
>>750301657I agree but there's a point man, and DD2 went beyond it, base DD2 hated the player far more than any Fromsoft game ever has despite their reputation
sorry bro but there is no defending basegame dd2
>>750301596How? DD2 is way too fucking easy.
>>750282929Don't mind me just taking my wife our for a ride
>>750301596You are out of your mind if you think the game is ""hostile""
dd2 haters once again proving to have their assholes blown open by knackers
>>750301967Not so much about difficulty but like how Dragonsplague was in the beginning (totally cryptic), how annoying the "loss" gauge is, the overall sluggish RE Engine movement, how upgrading gear made you looked splattered in cum
>>750302064Really hostile games are things like gacha and f2p p2w shit like war thunder, don't you think? Those games are built to break minds. And pathologic, but for artistic reasons.
>>750290030>, the only rewards that you get are the same useless ones as the basegame.What? In the base game you rarely found anything good, because the weapons you could buy at the stores were typically better than the ones you could find. In Norgan, the relics you find are the upgrades. It does have the problem of never really finding anything that is both unique and good, but the relic system works much better than just finding gold/items that will be sold for gold. And the reason why it's better is because the player doesn't quite know what they will get. This incentives them to collect a lot of relics instead of trekking back to the settlement for appraisal every time they find a handful. This in turn creates a balancing act between collect more relics and your slowly draining health gauge and consumables. You don't really have this dynamic in the base game because it's very clear if you've found enough gold to buy near gear, and the weight limit of the items will always force you back to town to sell. Relics have virtually no limit, so the limitation on collecting relics is purely on you ability to survive, and your own judgement on when it's worth finally going back and appraising.It's not perfect, there's still issues, but it's better than the base game by a mile.
>>750302164>how upgrading gear made you looked splattered in cumyou what
How the FUCK do I get Death and the thunder bird to spawn? I've fought like 10 of the red rifts and the only thing that's spawning is Satan.
>>750300516Tell me sphinx if you're so wise what for do you have dick sucking lips and massive tits?
>>750302235Try starting in a purple rift and then opening the subsequent red rift. If you're good you can even open a third rift to Satan that way, if you get Satan. Or try the undead dragon mountain rift. Be warned though that shit is crazy.
>>750302235Try the purple ones>>750302164>Dragonsplague Perfectly fine>Loss GaugeA genuine great addition to balance out healing spamThe real issues are the poor interaction between monster density, monster diversity, quest design, and fast travel that serve to create an incredibly monotonous game.
>>750282929>slogma 2
>>750302361The Loss gauge is honestly based when you put it like that. Perfectly complemented the campsite / expensive and rare elixirs. Less of an issue with da2 vendors selling gauge heals but it's still a constraint on roborant spam.
>>750302181>In Norgan, the relics you find are the upgrades.Yeah, which are not primarily found by exploring. They are rewards for killing monsters. Chests still drop shit relics that aren't worth collecting and the same useless items as the basegame, there's almost no incentive to explore at all. And when you unlock rifts (which doesn't take long because the dlc is short), there is no longer any reason to do it period.
>>750302487Idk there are a lot of relic piles that refill each day
am i misunderstanding something about offering flames? they don't respawn, so why would these obelisks in norgan offer temporary buffs instead of an entirely new weapon skill? and for that matter, some vocations get more than one new skill so you can't even get all the new skills in one playthrough? is that right?
Give me one reason I shouldn't gather shota pawns and let satanachia violently dick them with his rancor dripping horse cock?
I want Eir-chan's armor set and cloak, are they even in the game?
so it's vernworth like ancient gran soren or what? how does this connects with dd1? i just discovered the dragonforged cave
>>750302593Afaik you need one flame to unlock the whole obelisks shit. They usually include a special skill for their class and buff the drop rate on that class' relics.
>>750302487>Yeah, which are not primarily found by exploring. They are rewards for killing monsters.There are a fair few caves and grottos that offer great relics. They are of course typically guarded by monsters but hey, it's an action rpg.>And when you unlock rifts (which doesn't take long because the dlc is short), there is no longer any reason to do it period.No shit anon, once you reach end game you've explored the entirety of the map.
>>750302058How's the sex like
>>750302651You have a better alternative: put the gun in your mouth and pull the trigger.>>750302709Yes, and her weapons.
>>750302593Without a Flame, you can unlock the base version of the new skill at the Obelisk.With a Flame, you unlock the advanced skill, stat buff, and the temporary drop rate. You can reactivate the drop rate as often as you like.There are nine Flames, nine Obelisks.
>>750302723It's the same land after like, millions of years and endless cycles. Most of the parts that were once Gransis are underwater now.
>>750302723lol
>>750302781The weapon and shield were simple enough, but the closest looking armor seems to be the frost-sigil silvermail that wasn't quite the same. If the cloak's in the game I have no idea where it's found either.
>>750302834>>750302731okay, so the answer is yes, i was misunderstanding and am just a retardim pretty sure i missed one offering flame unless evil eye guards one, he seemed way way way tougher than any other trial boss so i just gave up and went to norgan instead, in which case im missing two but i know how to get it... i guess ill just ignore trickster and warrior for now since i dont like them
>>750302765You have to answer a riddle before you can stick it in.
>>750302562They're only a slight reward.>>750302750>There are a fair few caves and grottos that offer great relics.Sure, and the base game has a fair few places with good rewards and respawning useful items too, but you wouldn't say those are enough incentives either. They're both shit at incentivizing exploration, Norgan is just better at incentivizing fighting monsters.>once you reach end game you've explored the entirety of the map.Not even remotely close.
>>750302164>the overall sluggish RE Engine movementOut of all the stupid shit you said this is by far the worst.
>>750302781Best watch your tone or else you'll need more than an allheal to fix what I do to your greasy balls.
>>750302723the opposite, you'll find the ruins of Gran Soren on the sea bed later after the ocean dries
>>750302709i don't believe you can get her exact set, just something that looks close
>>750290030Geez we know it's you discord whiner who posted the fake screens for almost 3 years, you should be happy that DD2 got elevated from a 4/10 to a 7/10, it's finally a game that can be recommented to people and you're still seething people don't prefer the base game to norgan.You will never convince anyone that DD2 base game was good or retcon the past, just accept that DD2 is good *Now*
>>750302975you feel like you're slogging through molasses and that's a fact, there's that horrible floaty delay for a few seconds after you move the stick that plagues R4R too
Why can't they add new monsters instead of just making lazy reskins of existing ones
>>750303065Yeah, that's what I figured. Her armor looks similar but not quite the same as the one I mentioned, and I think her cloak's entirely unique to her too. Bit of a shame because she looks great.
>>750303108That discord/shitposters were desperately trying to convince people that DD2 was terrible though.
>>750293531Only sleeping in a bed advances the clock past midnight. The monster respawn timers run on a separate clock and they're unaffected by the main clock. Meaning, if you afk for long enough stuff will eventually start showing up again without touching a bed.
>>750303281It was never discord though, it was 70% disgruntled former fans and the usual /v/ tortanic fags.Just look at the steam reviews, went from mixed and rising to very positive already, it's mentall illness to claim there was some discord psyop to get people to dislike dogma 2 when it had so much wrong with it back then
I just dismissed a pawn with a rare Warrior weapon I obtained in Norgan as thanks, but it didn't disappear from my inventory. So does that mean as long as I have it I can gift it without diminishing the supply?
>>750303416>reee I fucking hate this game so fucking much arghhhh reeeeeee!>why yes I’ll buy the expansion honest question, is there any other game which had this massive buck breaking mind shattering effect on you /v niggers? I honestly cannot think of any other.
>>750303416Yes, I'm sure all the constantly repeating posts with the same exact wording and talking points were natural occurrences. Shitposting didn't happen, there was no obvious repeat posters. And of course there were absolutely zero (0) fans of the original game who liked 2, not even one.
>>750303606>honest question, is there any other game which had this massive buck breaking mind shattering effect on you /v niggers?You secondaries might not have known but DD1 was a beloved cult classic, of course it bombing for the former fans would be devastating for it's reputation, kinoshito knew exactly that and that's why he just made Dark arisen 2 to try and get the fans to trust them again
>>750303735you didnt even say anything ya nigger. you dim witted af.
>>750303056>>750302843thanks. shit is confusing for my pea brain
>>750303771Of course nothing will go through retarded thickskulls like you
dd1da fans are fake fans, always were. No, I will not get over it.
>>750303663>a single poster can't post the same thing twice in 2 different threadsDumb idiot, lets not forget the response to criticism just being repeating the blasting meme over and over again
>>750303820>reeeeeee accept my nigger faggot dogshit opinions I regurgitate from my discord xisters reeeeeeeeeenah dont think I will bro
>>750303735You don't speak for the "fans" dipshit, you're terrible at gaslighting.
>>750303897>muh cooordYou faggots are such a plague on this site
>bring dd1da to PC>PC players endlessly hate campaign the game (to this day, no less)Nintendo fans ironically did more to save this series than any PC fan. Twice now they saved the series, first with dd1da then with dd2da.
>finished with the true ending>final battle is just a cutscenei will never not be mad. the first game had such kino ending, what the fuck happenedi hope the dlc has better endings
>>750303958I literally do, DD2 was a shit game at release, it's good now.I will never bring it up until some faggot starts nitpicking about dark arisen 2
>>750303968you most definitely express yourself like a tranny discord faggot. you faghots will always stick out like a sore seething puss filled thumb just by the way you express yourselves. you are one soulless hive mind and dont realize it.would not be surprised if you were a bot in the most literal sense.
what is the deal with the old man at harven?is he right?
>>750304017The first game's ending was also a cutscene.
>>750304017Oh you poor little optimistic bitch, you're the type to have a shit day and think tomorrow will be better after you shoot out some of that pent up fuckboy cum aren't you? If you weren't 24 with that little 5incher I'd fuck you senseless just to see the flash of hope in those stupid little eyes. Nice balls tho. Bitch
>>750304108Holy buzzwords, no one lashes out like this except for the discord screen spammer, it's actually you and i predicted it was you who nitpicked about dark arisen 2.Thats pretty funny
>>750304162Your life is cutscene.
>>750304206what a dim witted nigger you are brono wonder you hate dd2 as much as you hate your father
>>750304135he's the artorias of dd2.
DIE EVIL
>>750304251>schizobabble
>>750303416I don't know if there is a discord (there probably is though), but there were definitely people putting a lot of effort into tortanicing DD2. I remember the fake performance/specs chart, fake quotes from Itsuno and all that shit.
>>750303969You mean the game with a very positive rating on Steam that sold an estimate of almost 3 million copies? Cool story, bro.
>fighting MegaSatan with sword and board
>>750304343ok schizo
>>750303798>those thigh windowstime to play pawn dress up again
>>750304378Skill issue.
>>750304343there is a reason /v of all boards dont have tags.to make impossible to make bros come together and share a common like without janny tranny soulless golemfaggots being skinwakers and larping non stop.
>>750304135I think he's just a silly 4th wall breaking character. He says their world is not the real one and wants out of the videogame.

>>750304365>pc discourse: slopma shitsuno everyone that makes the game is bad where are the [schizo headcanon that wasn't even in dd1] no you don't get it, never buy this game, also pirate it and tell everyone not to paly>nintendo discourse: wowie zowie it's almost like [inaccurate nintendo analogy] but... dark souls?
>>750304430Tell me about the skill that makes Satan stop teleporting every second.
Is it true? Did they unfuck the game?
>>750304496Discord bro peaked here...
its still pretty bad. on a blackwell 6000 i only get 60ish fps at 4k without cope settings.
>>750304343Honestly, the dogma fanboys brought it on themselves by being overly speculative and hype minded, there being nothing behind that t-shirt was just lol, coping about 20 unseen monsters and 20 vocations, it was too easy to troll
>>750304135If you die and don't rez in the unmoored world, your arisen ends up becoming the old man. So that + his knowledge leads people to believe he is another arisen who made it to the unmoored world and failed.
>>750302651Satanachia shattering the sphinctoral ring of shota arisen will be my mantra in these threads from now on
>>750282929Can you make a harem of cute women pawns in these games or is it similar to those western games where the character creator is uglified on purpose? Asking for both games but especially 2 since the graphics would be better.
>>750304657It's very easy to making good looking female pawns in the CC, it just takes time.
>>750304484The world being “not real” is central to the plot but people try to think around it because they don’t like it
>>750300386Nope
>>750300792average Japanese woman
it's cool how the DLC more or less retroactively insinuates that the salvation cult from DD1 has its own metaphysical entity, thus allowing for multiple truths in-universe and not just the "Only Arisenology is real, everything else is fake" move that was implied in Unmoored.
>>750304017Yo is this guy >>750304174 giving you trouble?>>750304378Get the upgraded counter and let the fun begin. It's actually my preferred class now, you can trigger a punish for nearly every attack he does. Don't try to block gigasatan lasers though.

>>750305123>if I aggressively devalue the game then it was bad all along.incorrect
just finished it, this is the best game ever. Only bad thing is that it's inside DD2. Can't wait for what's next for this series, kinoshita delivered some kino shit here
>>750305123only nigger faggots speak as if their retarded shit opinions is empirical facts. you ever noticed that?
>>750305123you argue like a jew scared for his life
>>750305427well you have to be spiritually jewish to hate Itsuno san’s (Lord bless his so) magnum opus, thats for certain.
>>750305176>>750305310>>750305427That is literally what happens
>>750305548there is no need to explain the ridiculously absolutely BASED narrative of DD3 to a dim witted dark as a moonless night nigger faggot like you.not throw pearls before swine n all.
>>750304525burst strike?
>>750305021Yeah I hadn't thought of that. But they have one "remaining eye" and not three.
>>750305021No idea what you mean from what I remember the cult just worshipped the dragon because it was perceived as the harbinger of the end times. Demons are just Arisen who managed to create a world without the Great Will
>>750305893It's more that they reject the world, niflheim is basically the void.
Imagine the smell of an ogres taint after its roamed through the arid valleys of battahl. The scent would make me rape everything in this thread.>>750303121This anon especially
