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

[Dishonoredbr]

Now there's going to be be people wasting their pawn making demure Khajiit Pretty Kitties to go along with all the Preteen Lolis, ffs.

Gonna have to make my pawn a Ripped ThunderCats Warrior in the image of Leo from Red Earth as radical praxis.

Even better Worse KHAJIT PRETEEN LOLIS

One thing I'd like is the ability to keep more save slots. 3 to 5 should be ok.

Is there any reason to play this if I already played the first one? It looks like the same thing, and I'm not really interested in more of the same. Bigger map won't cut it, either.

well, you know as much as the rest of us, but to answer your question anyway: new content, larger number of vocations apparently, presumably minor improvements over the original (ie. less shit consumable/inventory system)

you could ask the same question of many good sequels, anyway: BG2, Fallout 2, Gothic 2, KotOR 2. Those games offered more of the same + small improvements rather than a complete reinvention and they're all worth playing after their respective prequels.

imo more of the same is welcome, in this day and age when reinvention usually equals dumbing down or pandering.

Well the pawn's feelings towards the Arisen were oddly romantic sometimes. In fact your own pawn is also a romanceable character (there's no romances, just one character getting to be your "beloved one").

As long we get another Pawn Witch Goth GF , it's all good.

?

Madeleine wasn't a pawn or goth.

how one can makes so many mistakes typing "Mercedes"...

Well, it's mostly that the game lacked a harem or three way option, so you gotta go for the tits. Besides, it's more immersive to play a guy that's distracted by boobs and gets robbed blind by the gold digging harpy he's running after. I understand that guy on a fairly fundamental level.

To-date, not a single game has followed up on the excellent party-based combat of Dragon's Dogma, even though it's been over a decade since its release, whereas many games have been created in the formula of single-character Demon's/Dark Souls. Even if the Dragon's Dogma sequel is more of the same, that would be long overdue, and I suspect they will make some mechanical improvements, as well as adding more variety in monsters, more roles classes vocations, and a larger, more varied overworld environment.

Continuing on with environmental and exploration elements that more or less captured the zero to hero D&D style fantasy, including (at least early on) preparing for your journey with light sources, food, etc.

Anyway, YMMV apparently. To me it was basically asking: "Hey, I already played the basically unfinished flawed gem that was still one of the greatest action RPGs ever made. Why should I play the follow up that looks to take the base and improve on it and maybe actually complete it with a proper budget?"

I was trying to find a way to reply nicely, but got hung up on something like, "No idea. Try not to forget to breathe, mongoloid."

Your answer is much better.

Nice opinion you've got there. But I disagree.

Yeah, the original had some nice combat and systems. But overall I found everything else boring and generic and so I didn't get that far into it.

I'm sorry if I hurt your sensitive feelings by calling one of your all time favorite games boring generic trash.

"HARPIES! HARPIES! HARPIES!" - yeah that's my main memory of this game that sticks out to me.

 

[curds]

Why would you even hang out in the sequel thread of a game that you barely played and disliked enough to call boring generic trash? I kinda gathered from your question that you somewhat enjoyed the first game.

To each his own, I don't give a fuck if you hate a game I like, I can even understand not liking DDDA, it's def not for everyone. It's a weird game. But why do you even care to look into the sequel if you feel that way?

Gee, I don't know. Maybe I was wondering if there was a reason to bother with the sequel if I found the first game boring? Didn't need to get called a mongoloid in the process. But CRAPCOM fanboys will always be CRAPCOM fanboys.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Dragon's Dogma IS the Best Action RPG, no game came close to this day.

it was a kinda stupid question, tbh.

what kind of answer were you expecting? lol

 

[Drakortha]

I was expecting after over 10 years they'd at least develop an open world worth exploring. Instead we get "4 times bigger!" Since when was bigger indicative of quality or being worth my time?

I can think of 5 other Action RPG's from the top of my head that have gameplay that can be compared to Dragon's Dogma and are equal in quality. The only thing Dogma has is climbing mechanic gimmick that was taken from Shadow of Colossus. Then Crapcom drops that shit in a boring generic, open fantasy world that isn't even worth exploring. And you people call that the best Action RPG ever made?

Boring garbage trash shit from Crapcom I can't even pose the question without getting Crapcom fanboy responses like these. Crapcom fanboys are the worst of the lot as proven time and time again on this forum.

 

[Reinhardt]

you sound upset

 

[Drakortha]

I'm disgusted, is what I am.

Crapcom fanboys are despicable vermin. And it seems I just found a nest of them!

Yeah they said 4x bigger AND packed with more content than ever or some shit to that effect. Which to my mind implies more shit worth exploring.

You really didn't play much of it did you?

you sound upset

"WHAT? MONGOLOID? ME?"

 

[The_Mask]

Dragon's Dogma is for people that aren't popular, and want an AI friend that they can mold into their best friend. So Drakortha doesn't understand us because he's popular.

Wrong.

I would play Dragon's Dogma as much as anyone else and have many great AI friends if it wasn't for the fact the game is SHIT!

 

[The_Mask]

Well, let's hope they make this second version less shit, just for you, my friend.

I mean this is the codex, people hanging in threads and joining hating bandwagon without even playing it since like 2001

There is a Dragon's Dogma hate bandwagon here?

Where? Tell me where it is? So I can get on it, please.

Sensitive feelings? No no, you have this all wrong. I don't particularly care what you think, you're a fucking retard and your schtick is old.

What happened anyway? Did you finally get banned from the RE4 thread because your tears flooded the forum and you came here enroute to try again in SF6 while furiously masturbating?

Tl;Dr Piss off, moron.
