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

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I don't understand why people are so hyped. Dragon's Dogma was a good game with good systems and a decent open world, but it was as bland, boring and generic as can be.

It's like getting excited at eating a can of corned beef.

How was it generic?

Medieval/Renaissance French/German/English influenced settings are considered generic these days.

The setting of Dragon's Dogma is generic and poorly defined, but that has virtually no impact on the game. The Open World is only superficial due to Morrowind/Oblivion being an initial inspiration that was soon abandoned due to budgetary constraints. Combat, as mentioned previously is incredible, which is the most important point in a game focused on combat, while the handful of dungeon-like locations are decent enough for exploration and providing for set-piece encounters, with their main drawback being their limited size. Actual gameplay is anything but generic, and there are some other good aspects, such as the aforementioned character (appearance) creator and certain quests and characters.

Sir, this Codex. It's okay to tell other users to go fuck themselves over opinions you don't like.

I was trying not to be overly personal about how some people around here like eating shit so much they can't appreciate finer things. I'm friendly like that.

Your opinions are all worthless though because you never played MMOs. So you can't see that this is like a shitty cheap console tard version of an MMO. And the combat sucks the most. Sure you might have fun with some archer or something I didn't try, but I tried 2 other classes and they were retarded glorified quicktime event bullshit. And they get away with it because of all you pleb console tard fucks!

The bad version of a bad thing is a good thing.

 

[darkpatriot]

All of you people hating on this game are wrong. This was one of the best games of its generation.

My #1 most anticipated game in development right now.

Gay music though

Serious question, have YOU played an MMO? Go try something like .hack and then try saying that with a straight face.

And out of curiosity, do you even know what a QTE is? This has been one of the most phenomenally stupid shit tales I've ever seen, so I assume you must be trolling - - no one's this dumb.

They removed that song in US release.

No, they removed it with the Dark Arisen release. The first versions of it had that title screen.

You can mod it back in anyways with better quality.

^above link has a high quality version.

Maybe HHR thinks it's bland because he has no appreciation of Greek mythology.

HHR doesn't like it because he's gay
Simple as

Your opinions are all worthless

Nigga you think Thief and Arx are garbage
Your opinions on game design are invalid

Nigga, I can barely afford gas right now. A monthly subscription, hrt and knee-high socks are out of the question.

[Suicidal]

MMO players talking shit about DD is like a hobo eating out of a dumpster talking shit about food served at restaurants.

My heart weeps, for I have but one retarded rating to give your post. Rest assured, in my deepest heart, I have given you many.

9 times out 10 you get killed while you're holding that button. It's hard AND boring.

Yes very boring and dumb. The cannon fodder pawns go in to tank and get smashed around while you do the 1 huge spell the destroy everything. Or a few smaller spells that destroy everything in a slightly less awesome-button way. All in a game with bad ui, bad itemisation, bad repeating voice overs, tedious linear world design, etc. Yeah it's maybe better than Skyrim or whatever, there aren't many alternatives, but still the standards are low as hell. You don't have to accept all that.

 

[HereticGuy]

and some memorable quests.

* Memories of catching that little fucker Peppin quest intensifies *
I arrowed that little shit to make him stop; but looks like city guards doesn't approve child murder
( I hate the quest in Cassardis, where you have to catch a theif at night. Fucker runs like Usain Bolt on cocaine )

It makes me sad that you don't like Dragons Dogma or Skyrim.
