is this just Skyrim 2?

>>720023963 (OP)
It’s a mediocre dragon dogma dark arisen

>>720023963 (OP)
Technically you start off as an unconventionally ordained monarch and due to political intrigue become a prisoner

I want to love it but the first one is just better in every way possible except graphics maybe. It just needs a better end game because as it stands it's pretty pointless to grind to level 999 if every enemy dies in one hit by the time you reach lvl 100.

Sometimes you have to wonder what's going on at Capcom for them not to realize this. Wilds is average too.

modded skyrim could never

>>720025725
I genuinely prefer DDDA's graphics lol

>>720023963 (OP)
I hate that start area.

It feels like it's meant to be an open world thing, but is linear af and incredibly tedious and boring after first time. There's even some collectables like a book entry for reading like Resident Evil notes, but practially dropped and irrelevant in the main game.

Unfinished game.

>>720027113
This. Dragon's Dogma 2 has this huge quality gap within itself. Some areas are horribly designed barren wastelands while others look phenomenal.
At least the original was mostly consistent + the boss monsters were better designed.

>I want to love it but the first one is just better in every way possible
You can't love two games?
I really don't understand zoomers. You can love two monster hunter entries, even though one is clearly better than the other. You can love dark souls 3, even though 1 is clearly better.
You really don't need to choose one game and then make your whole personality around it. It's okay to like multiple games, but still choose a favorite between them.

>while others look phenomenal.
??? where
unironically, where? even with that buggy as shit ray tracing mod the game was pretty ugly and I wasn't able to fix it with reshade

>>720028027
phenomenal might have been a bad word choice, you're right with that. I am just a sucker for forest areas in video games so I enjoyed strolling through those. The entire battahl area ruined the game for me.

>>720028027
I think it looked pretty good.

>>720027998
NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU MENTALLY ILL INCEL, YOU ONLY CAN LOVE ONE FINAL FANTASY ALL THE OTHERS ARE SHIT AND ROLLSLOPMA, TAKE YOUR MEDS

>>720027998
The main point of hype behind DD2 was that the first game had to be cut down in order to be completed/shipped out and that DD2 would be a chance for Itsuno and his team to implement the things they had to remove/give up on, but turns out that for every thing they added in they took something out of existing systems so DD2 was actually a lesser game than the first when it was supposed to be the "true" Dragon's Dogma.

dark arisen 2 will redefine gaming itself

>>720027998
No. When talking about games online we need to pick one and hate every other game.
Then ragebait other posters that like other games by any means possible. Because we are alone and need any semblance of interaction.
That's how a gamer Chimp lives.

>>720023963 (OP)
Well, it's certainly not dragon's dogma 2.

>>720028491
What did they add and remove from 1 to 2?
All I see is basically the same game with minor tweaks like small changes in skills and vocations.

>>720023963 (OP)
Skyrim is a world on a disk. A world that also happened to be created on a maddeningly, crushingly short timespan, yet has endured the span of an entire young adult's lifespan to this point with not a single din on it's relevance. Dragon's Dogma 2 is a Soulsslop sequel that came out 1 year ago yet is already lost in the endless sea of other Soulsslop clone trash to where no one even remembers that this crap came out 1 year ago.
It's not a really close comparison

>>720024252
This cannot be understated. What did they even hope to achieve with DD2? Add a cat race to the game? Because that's all they did.

>>720030732
which would've been fine if it wasn't simply so lesser

Dragon's Dogma 2 was a mistake.

>all the story hype in the trailers

>>720023963 (OP)
It's not even dragons' dogma 2 LMAOOOOOOO

>>720023963 (OP)
Engine utterly unsuited for what they were going for, as well.

>>720031252
The amount of front loaded "sneak" into the castle missions is baffling.

>>720030380
>removals
less skill slots
less armor/gear slots
less inclinations for pawns
low pawn heights restricted
no dialog customizations for pawns
fighter is the only class that gets two weapons outside of warfarer
no raid boss (Ur-dragon)

>additions
pawn appearance customization options
physics system
camping

>>720024252
>It’s a mediocre dragon dogma
I agree with that at least. There's no dark arisen in the game and that's why it's such a disappointment, imo.

>>720031313
What happened to the 2 in the menu screen? It just says DRAGON'S DOGMA

Imagine if we got as much dungeons as skyrim...

>>720031807
They saved it for the only cool moment in the whole game.

>>720032120
In a perfect world he would be executed for being such a shameless malicious liar

In another world, we'd be playing the free Endless Moon Dungeon update right now...

Maybe with the 8 man co-op with 8 pawns, along with 16 vocations...

>>720027998
Games don't exist in a vacuum. Now can I love DD2 when it's worse than DD1? It's not even that good on its own but when you have a point comparison it's even worse. Then you have the context of DD1 having incredible potential with loads of cut content. DD2 releases with less in it than DD1. Why should I settle for worse when better already exists?

>>720033238
>hurr durr how can I like apples if oranges exist
zoomers deserve the rope

I'm enjoying my time with it, just adventuring around with my party. Feels like I'm in my own Lodoss war spinoff anime

>>720034024
It's not apples and oranges,. It's one good apple you had last week, and you've been given half a slightly brown apple this week

>>720034803
you're right that it's apples and apples, but instead it's one apple that was sweet with hints of sour for DD:DA and a sour apple with hints of sweet for DD2.

>Holy shit an actual endgame!?

>It sold well so it's all good.
>t. Itsuno
Wasn't expecting him to shit on his last Capcom game, but that was such a lame thing to say.

>>720023963 (OP)
Maybe in another 10 years someone at Capcom will make Dragon's Dogma 3, and this time it won't be blatantly unfinished and rushed

>install mod that makes treasure chests not garbage
>game is now 100 times more fun
what the fuck were they thinking

>play dd1
>climb on a monster and then do literally nothing unless you're playing as thief
>play dd2
>climb on monster and then stand on its back/shoulder so i can shoot spells into the back of its stupid head, grabbing back on as needed when it tries to throw me off

>play dd1
>npcs literally never fight anything outside of scripted sequences, nor do monsters infight
>play dd2
>watch a minotaur die to a fucking slime because the slime is immune to physical attacks
>watch an ox cart guard crew, 2 wandering pawns and a fake arisen band fight goblins

>play dd1
>see another campsite or comfy abandoned shack and think "damn i sure wish i could camp at this campsite or comfy abandoned shack"
>play dd2
>camp at the campsite or comfy abandoned shack (and then see one of 8 meatcooking animations)

i miss the armor modularity and some of the enemies of dd1 but fuck me there's enough stuff only in dd2 that i've finally surpassed my dd1 hours with it.
