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.

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.

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. :lol:

What the fuck is wrong with these mongs?

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.

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

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.

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.
