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

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

I broke down and bought this (from a reseller, fuck Capcom) - If I don't like it I'll blame all of you.

LOL did you really? This game is fucking terrible dawg. We was just trollin you dumbass.

 

[Saark]

At least it gives you a nice little info at the end. Apparently my #3 affinities were: Black guy from Vernworth, Black guy from Bakbattahl, Elven girl. Tbf, you get full Affinity with both the black guys from just doing the mainquest, but it definitely was hilarious

Spoiler

to beat black guy #2's ass, have him go "see you next time" only to have Grigori hold his unconscious body in his hands a minute later and ask me whether I want to sacrifice him

 

[Filthy Sauce]

Thanks for the rotten mean, whoever it was from among you.

Lol. It was from Capcom (you can tell because there is no giver listed)

Stumbling around in the dark at 10% HP because you can't fully recover with items anymore (incline), nearly shit my pants as a cyclops starts roaring from a few feet away. Take off running and leap directly into a group of wolves. Dodge one, but another leaps out of the darkness. Start yelling at the screen about them hunting in packs as my puny mage's throat immediately gets ripped out. Yep, it's Dragon's Dogma
Having a lot of fun just wandering around, but I can tell one of the problems from the first game is still here - you're encouraged to use a full party of pawns, but that really trivializes the game. Much more enjoyable just running around with your one bro.

Still having weird performance issues (on Linux), the worst of any game in recent memory. Game runs alright most of the time, but I occasionally get massive frame drops just panning the camera. Also occasionally it just bricks my system when I open a menu and I have to physically power off the computer.

I hate these fucking gook niggers.

 

[Robber Baron]

Do you guys not have controllers?

 

[Jinn]

It is insane to me that Saark beat the game in that amount of time. I'm 15 hours in and feel like I'm just scraping the surface.

They always say that. Batman fans told me the Arkham retard games are best played with a controller, but couldn't say why. They never even tried the alternative. Need to discover it in each game for yourself.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Inn saves cost a little too much in my opinion considering how important they are for not losing progress

buy a house.

I'm reading some really bizarre bollocks on Normie Social...

I'm wondering if they're doing a Starflight or Super Mario World, where you can finish the game in no time at all.....if you play it like an autistic spastic who didn't actually buy it to play it lol.

The entrance to the second area is great. You enter by hillside and can see all kinds of mysterious stuff below. Got so excited, I walked off the cliff and died.

I see no other reasonable explanation.

Be careful with that one, I messed with it without paying attention and now my Arisen runs around like he's holding an invisible skirt out of the mud

 

[Silverfish]

Do you guys not have controllers?

Yes, but sadly unusable here.

 

[Ezekiel]

Plan to get a Brawler64 controller for emulation. Even RetroFighters decided the trident was stupid.

We need Codex Arisen knee competition

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

People finishing it in 40 hours or less are using a lot of fast travel and hiring high level pawns. Basically playing on EZ mode, which is fine if you wanna do that. I feel like you're sort of missing the whole point of Dragon's Dogma and cheating yourself out of a unique experience but it's your money, play how you like. I can easily see myself sinking around 70 hours into it. But it's clearly not a 200+ hour game like Elden Ring. It lacks the size and filler shit.

 

[Reinhardt]

i'm playing dd1 with gamepad and having strong nioh deja vu. it's very comfortable in melee but when i need to shoot something i just drop it and grab mouse...

Wow, didn't know the crew at RetroFighters were gay.

hiring high level pawns

So long as they're not hiring youtube pawns, it's all good.

How many of you have hired Sphere Hunter already

admit it

 

[Herumor]

So I'm 30 hours into the game and the gameplay is really good. But I'm afraid this game has failed in one important aspect: soundtrack.

I cannot for the life of me remember anything unique, nothing like the first Dragon's Dogma, playing. What the hell happened here? Did the devs also realize their game's soundtrack was bland as fuck and that's why they put out original Dragon's Dogma music and sounds as paid DLC for the sequel?

 

[Fedora Master]

Shit in hindsight I really shoulda made a Dude Arisen.

 

[Ezekiel]

I will use a unisex name, since SDG said you can change the sex but not the name.
