Damn you, Capcom

You remember how Sony was memed into believing Morbius was a stealth hit and had a massive potential audience that they needed to tap into rn? The exact same memeing happened with Dragqueen's Smega, especially here on /v/. It was never going to be a hit.

I think we are not discussing sales but 2 being a straight downgrade.

>>718913030 (OP)
It wasn't good.

>>718913030 (OP)
it underdelivered. all the content the game had to offer was shown in promotional material, except unmoored world which was a wet fart anyway since it had 2 new mobs to fight and like 2 quests and you were done.
the game could've been saved if unmoored would've been done well. i mean there's even a fucking title drop when you get there and its the coolest shit ever with no deaths allowed, but there's fucking nothing to do there.

They should've made BBI 2 then expanded it into an open world if they had the time

70 dollars for a mediocre sequel to a good game everyone thought would never have sequel. it's a miracle it even exists and it's a complete waste, so it being so whatever is more offensive than usual. and because of the negative reception and how video games are now, this franchise is dead forever. i think the archer girl is hot though, what a sex beast.

Shit post game content, all they had to do was do another Dark Arisen with a post game (proceduraly generated) dungeon with 100 floors or something.

Basado mi comadante. DD2 fue una decepción, aun sigo arrecho pensando en como me comi esa estafa de Capcom, nunca vuelvo a pre-ordenar nada.

You're retarded. Morbius was a shit movie from the get to and all this "it's morning morbin time" stuff was just a ridiculing meme the stupid suits didn't get and mistook for real interest.
DD1 on the other hand was actually a good game that has it's place smoking a certain niche, but Crapcom being as retarded as you wanted the sequel to reach the mythical modern audience, so they shat on stuff the movie liked and made a game nobody wanted.

Is the lower enemy variety a big detriment? The exploration and quests in DDDA (maybe just base DD) and combat was the best part.

Aren't the vocations better? Am I missing something? Disregard post game.

>>718917159
yes, its a big detriment. most enemies you'll encounter will just be goblins or bandits. big enemies like griffons are fun to fight and not too rare, but they are way too easy to kill because the game's balance is dogshit.
exploration is cool at first, but it quickly gets boring when you realize there's basically nothing to find and its mostly just different flavours of caves. the sphinx is cool but its the only "secret" the game has. quests are shit. all of them. there isn't a single plot line that grabbed my attention.
vocations are mostly ok. warrior is especially pretty fun, trickster is especially dogshit and warfarer is way too limiting to have some proper fun with it.
not even mods were able to save the game.

unoptimized mess and more primitive gameplay than the original? nah, couldn't be that

>>718918362
I wanted to love it and this is mostly right. Fighter with a shield is peak gameplay but there isn't anything else. The most fun I had with it was random enemies mod so it ended up being like 3 ogre, 2 dragons and a griffin all at once but even that gets old. So much potential.

It’s a fun game but it needed better scaling, end game characters can basically one shot the hardest enemies
