>supposedly a BLAST
>nobody plays it

Something doesn't quite add up here

It’s just not as good as the first game. Similar to how white women move on from their tall, dark, and handsome hung lover to their white betabuxx boy when they decide to settle down

You need to play it again. Because you just have to, ok?

>>714906110 (OP)
My pawn got a heart just yesterday. Clearly people are still playing.

I had fun with it for a couple of playthroughs. Biggest problem is that it once again feels incomplete. It was hyped up as being more of the game that Itsuno wanted to make with DD1, but the ending just kind of happens and leaves you feeling like his ambition was once more unrealized.

Massive downgrade over the first one and probably doesn't help that it runs like shit (supposedly worse now than at launch even).

it looks like an upgraded ps4 game just like the original looked like an upgraded ps2 game, is even more unfinished, doesn't have the weird concentrated SOVL rpg elements, and requires a supercomputer to play. it's the skyrim to dragon's dogma's morrowind.

There is no point to the game being "open world" when everywhere you want to go is a narrow road winding around hills, mountains and other obstacles. It's so annoying to just get anywhere in this game

>>714907946
>but the ending just kind of happens and leaves you feeling like his ambition was once more unrealized.
I was having a blast and then the game abruptly ended and left me wanting more. Every day someone posts fake dlc leaks just to make the phantom pain worse.

>>714906110 (OP)
playing the first game was something special, even if itsuno couldn't make it how he wanted it to be.
then go 11 years into the future and he announces DD2.
people are hyped, because they thought they would get the game he actually wanted to make.
it turns out it's just DD1 again with some downgrades(actually worse vocations and actually less than the first one, dragon is ass, almost no new enemy types also removing the hydra, really shitty optimization).
no wonder people are upset about it so much that they didn't even want to play it

the game ended so soon and I still had half the map unexplored, the quests were mostly boring but the actual gameplay mechanics were decent

>>714908594
>the quests were mostly boring but the actual gameplay mechanics were decent
Thats what is so frustrating about this game. Its like a tech demo of a great game that is never going to happen.

>>714908594
...it really ends abruptly, I was in the middle of doing a sidequest then the game started ending, had to go to the final boss, I guess they want to encourage multiple playthroughs?

Well, I blasted for 200+ hours, the game is fun but it's not forever, just like OG Dragon's Dogma, maybe if they release a expansion like Dark Arisen maybe I can drop more 400 hours in the game.

a lot of trashy poor people cried and shit on it because it doesnt run well on toasters and is poorly optimized
personally i really enjoyed it and its definitely better than dragons dogma 1

>>714908753
>expansion
looks grim

Bros what is wrong with zoomers?
>>714906513

>>714908851
the first two hours of DD2 were worse than DD1.
that was enough for me to tell that it's just not a good game in general

One of my favorite games of all time. There could have been a lot added, and at least a scaling ng+ and hardmode, but it's still great for what it is. I really hope we get dlc, the game has so much potential.

were not getitng dlc, i was waiting to do a playthrough until dlc, but they long gave up on it

>>714909338
nah, there was definitely a huge portion of DD1 fans who were pure delusional and calling it a demake, those fags still existing today calling every new remaster/remake a demake and shit

>>714909872
It's so insanely fucking stupid to base your sequel off of JUST the base content of the first game instead of the final version of the first game. There's no fucking defending that.

i'm not very far into the game atm, just been dicking around gran soren. but when does it 'get good'? I usually love janky open world games with dated graphics (risen or elex for example), but there's just something about this one that's like eating cardboard.

>>714907110

Wrong.

I liked it. It was good. Just not as good as 1, which is tragic because how do you not improve on 1?

I wonder if these old random loot/chests mods still work.

I was hoping for more depth to pawns
They seem less customizable than ever

Got bored of it within like three hours, and the pawn dialogue gets incredibly annoying very quick

I made the mistake of thinking you knew the game in question.

>>714921764
name the quest the asks you to do this

>>714919245
the palace quests and pawn dialogue about bribing guards makes it seem like the game was supposed to have proper stealth & crime mechanics/systems like TES or KCD2, but they were cut and we were left with these completely pointless palace "stealth" quests without the systems in place to make them interesting

All the people shitting on this game have absolutely no idea how much effort goes into creating something of such a massive scale.
The game world is absolutely colossal, so of course there are going to be a few bugs here or there. The coders are doing their best to work out everything on such a short timeframe, but of course some things will fall through the cracks. I expect it will have a rough launch, but give it a month or two of patches after and it is bound to be one of the best RPG games around and definitely worth its price.
If you love the Dragon's Dogma universe its a must buy. The more people that buy it, the more they'll be able to afford coders to iron out all the bugs after launch, so if you want it to succeed be sure to preorder!

>>714923315
is it bait to point out that the player base is dead? The player count isn't exactly hidden and can be easily compared to other single player games. It's an objective fact the game died abruptly, even by SP standards.

i was into it but never beat it because the fucking thing just would not stop crashing. i imagine it's stable now but i just don't care anymore.

>>714906110 (OP)
I had a bit of a BLAST, but only after I installed mods to fix the horrible difficulty. Bizarre to release such a combat-focused game that's tuned to piss-easy with no difficulty options. Though they do the same shit with monhun. Guess capcom's just retarded.

>>714925276
sequel wasn't even made for normies because it had even less fast travel options than DDDA, it's just a worse game sadly.

>>714906110 (OP)
the game was decent enough, far better than the naysayers would have you believe. biggest let down was the gimped armor system and how it feels like it takes until late game/unmoored world to get any interesting gear whatsoever. enemy variety increase would be nice, as would the inclusion of a few more quests. but i am not dissatisfied with what we got.

>>714906110 (OP)
It's janky and undercooked as hell, but at least the character creator is pretty good

>>714924925
its a niche game you faggot. point it out as much as you want.
believe it or not there are those who enjoy something despite the masses of normies not liking it. a smooth brain nigger like you wouldn’t understand.

>>714912586
/v/ had a hard-on for DD1 that I will never understand. The original game was mid-budget experimental jank, and they were surprised that the sequel was also mid-budget experimental jank.

>>714912586
It's a 6-7/10 game at best carried entirely by charm, and even its diehard fans will admit this. If you don't enjoy the novelty of the game mechanics and setting then the game probably just isn't for you.

>>714927473
I give it a blast/10 in my personal opinion.

If it had more enemy variety it would be worth playing around with a bit here and there but yeah you play it once and don't really feel much need to go back

>>714906110 (OP)
I played it for about 8 hours and realized it was Dragon’s Dogshit

>>714906110 (OP)
>love 1 and put hundreds of hours in it
>hate 2 so much that I dropped it in the desert area
It's a simple as that. No, I won't elaborate either. I'm sick of arguing with people about why I enjoyed 1 and didn't enjoy 2.

>>714925031
i still haven't completed the game after unlocking mystic speargay and realizing that it has party-wide full invulnerability buff with pretty much constant uptime. what's the point?

Just wait until some other director comes in, takes what works here, and makes something that actually that uses everything well. Worked with DA.

>>714912586
>i'm not very far into the game atm, just been dicking around gran soren
So around level 10-20? The game really doesn't pick up until you're about halfway through your vocation. It's not that the game is bad before then, it's simply that the combat is very deliberately neutered and simplified until you unlock more vocation ranks.
Itsuno did this because he wanted to mirror the hero's journey of a hero going from zero to hero, so you'll start as a scrub, level up your vocation and unlock skills, and then become a badass.
Once you're in the "badass" section, you can do all kinds of unique attacks and skills. Striders for example get: an attack where they leap in the air and spin around like a beyblade with their swords, another attack where they can throw out wires and pull enemies to the ground, dodge rolls, double jumps, the ability to animation cancel out of any animation etc. You put all of these different skills together to get a truly mobile and insanely aggressive fighter.
Which leads into my next thing. The amount of choice you're offered in every combat encounter is unparalleled imo. You have a light attack, a timed light attack combo, a heavy attack, a charged heavy, a light jump attack, a heavy jump attack, a grab, a grapple, the ability to climb, and 6 unique skills of your choice.

Did they ever fix the dogshit performance?

>>714936285
>worse than at release
according to who nigga it has official DLSS4 now and the texture streaming isn't nearly as fucked as release
That's an objective improvement

I like DD2 more than DD:DA.

>>714936462
Going by steam reviews which only recently started really tanking. Launch had its shitters review bombing, but starting last month or so the reviews have really nose dived to overwhelmingly negative. Many people outright cannot launch the game anymore. Its pure ignorance to pretend everything is peachy and perfect with wilds. "Works for me" doesn't change anything when even my 7800x3d+4090 barely run the game at an acceptable state, let alone anywhere near what you should expect from a good rig. Shits busted, but at least I can launch the game which is more than seemingly many right now.
