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

[POOPERSCOOPER]

Can someone summarize what is wrong with the game so far, according to the leaks?

I think someone mentioned story but do games even have good stories?

Regardless, I just learned no fast travel or quest markers so I'm already very excited for it.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

hmmm

You just know.

Well you learned wrong. There's markers too.

 

[Shrimp]

Portcrystals weren't exactly plentiful in DD1 (especially not before the DLC) so if they're present in a similar quantity I don't think they'll change much.

Yep, although one tactically placed next to an oxcart (which is also fast travel, just with a chance of random encounters) will cover plenty of ground, no doubt.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

So close. Wednesday it can be preloaded, yis?

Two new vocations (with two cut, for no net gain) and four new monster types in a sequel we waited ten years for.

You rike?

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

Don't care. Wasn't long ago we believed this game was never getting made. I'm just happy it's here.

 

[Spike]

Loving watching normies getting worked up over this....

I'm buying a copy day 1 for every system I own which it's released on just because of this. Fast Travel and Quest Markers must fucking die, along with the normie cunts who need them and cry when they're not included.

Imagine one of these kids playing like Wizardry 6 or something. Lol.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

So they already have an expansion in the works, despite the game not yet being released...

ftfy

I have to genuinely shake my nogging when I remind myself that most of us weren't even adults when beating some of these games.

Earlier today I saw someone bitching about Landstalker on SEGA Megadrive, saying how hard it was and how the platforming and puzzles were impossible. I beat that many times aged 13/14, and fucking loved it. It felt perfectly balanced with the difficulty, challenging enough to be stimulating but not stressful. I found the Greenmaze area to be a work of genius for a console RPG. Now some fag in his 30's can't handle it.

What the fuck is wrong with these mongs?

Absolutely no red-blooded heterosexual man is going to play as the pawn-buffer support class.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Does this mean Capcom's confidant on DD2 success?

I think it means Capcom portioned off a chunk of the base game for that DLC.

If it turns out the base game lacks enemy variety, well, here's your reason.

So just like vanilla + Bitterblack Isle...Lol. Oh well, it still looks incredible. It's very on-brand for a Japanese company to just perfect the already-good mechanics and neglect enemy variety/new vocations.

It really does stretch what the mind can accept as believable. Also, never played Landstalker, so it's added to the list, thank you.

Character creator is deliberately shit. Loli/flatty creation still exists, but is deliberately disabled from player use
No female animations.
No "female" characters. Body type garbage.
Runs like shit
NPCs react to nothing, even overt violence
HP sponges

They do react to overt violence, but it seems that a lot of leeway is given to the player. Overall, though, I agree that the AI is unimpressive and a letdown based on what I've seen. In regard to HP sponges, I don't think the game differs significantly from DD1. If you don't have the appropriate weapons or stats for the enemy you're facing, you'll be whaling on it for a while.

Niggers everywhere.
Dumbed down armor/clothing system.
Dumbed down skill system.
Influencer pawns.

It's the definition of decline.

You no longer have any control over your stats and "you'll be whaling on it for awhile" appears to just be the state of things 100% of the time, going by the leaked footage. The whole game is now balanced as though you had fucked up your build in DD1.

 

[Silverfish]

What the fuck is wrong with these mongs?

They see games as something to finish and don't enjoy the process.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Snip

Why do you lie?

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Dumbed down skill system.

oh no , instead of having 6 skill , that actually were 5 because one of was always must go skills (tusk toss, skarlet kisses, exodus slash, Anodyne ) , now i have 4 skill plus previous must go skills baked into the Core skills and Vocations with a deeper mechanics.. what a shame.

 

[Silverfish]

Influencer pawns.

Honestly, my only problem with this is that Capcom didn't use people whose material I actually enjoy. Dump Asmongold, the fighting game dude and Tranny Hunter and replace them with EmptyHero, Nostalgia Wound and the old guy from Dracula Flow and I wouldn't complain at all.

 

[gabel]

Well, you people are why basically all games are worse now than ever.
Decline is eternal, because of tasteless sycophants like you.

If it's a significant amount of content they're planning to release this year still, they have to start early.
