    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    So, with the partial exception of the first... Complete shit?

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    Oh, you fought the Griffin?

    I can agree that some of their decisions have been puzzlingly stupid regardless of budget and manpower available. Few other, on the other hand, can be fully explained with it. Like the baffling lack in enemy variety or the sloppy map design.

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    After putting few more hours into it I can confirm this feels one of the most half-baked sequels I've seen in a while. Then again, according to this thread the game lists roughly 1/4 of the developers as credited for working on the game compared to other recent Capcom productions...

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    There's also the not-so-trivial detail that the appeal of climbing on a griffin, minotaur, cyclop or ogre and stab them tends to wane JUUUUUST a bit when it's the sixth or seventh time you do it.

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    Which is fair, in itself. ER is definitely a game that could have done with less of its repeated content and turn out just better "by omission". Especially since the amount of unique one is staggering, anyway. The only problem with this argument is that it becomes a fucking joke if used in an...

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    What are you even getting angry at, you bitter mongoloid? Did you forget your daily medications? Is your crippling mental impairment having the best of you? Did your autism finally drag you in the deep end?

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    It just means that I said what I wanted to say and you “disagreeing” is not going to change a single bit how I feel about it. I don’t even just think the “open world” in DD2 compares poorly to ER (and it DOES). It’s frankly bad even in a vacuum. There are games out there that I don’t even...

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    That sounds like a “you” problem, to me.

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    Uh, no. We are just spinning our wheels at this point. We simply can't agree on basic statements so there's very little we can productively exchange.

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    In DD2 on the other hand, that point was TEN HOURS into the game. as everything starts being repetition from there. Well, it started being repetition before, it's just that ten hours is when you finally start to realize it. Also, the world in Eldern Ring DOES remember an actual landscape worth...

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    Uh, no? It's not? it's not even mildly good, in general. It's just a popular game. Oh, don't worry. I do. But that's precisely the thing: I don't think the From Soft style of combat is just "popular". I find it generally VERY good. Not flawless (because what is, really?) but good, nonetheless...

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    List me the better alternatives with equally compelling mechanics and without the "game-breaking builds" and I will take your retardation seriously. Well, honestly no. Let's say A BIT more seriously, at most. It's also (somewhat) worth noting that you had to pick a two years old video from 20...

    Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

    What? It IS. It'ìs more or less the gold standard in action RPGs. It's reasonably simple to grasp with a decent skill ceiling for mastery, offers an appreciable challenge without being frustrating or unfair, scales "softly" without having massive snowballing (i.e. even low level enemies remain...

    I'll also take the chance to let you kids on the spectrum know that spamming a "Disagree" reaction isn't a compelling rebuttal, by the way.
