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

[mediocrepoet]

Reads like utter decline.

Shut the fuck up, fork.

Kinda hope that playing a kitty Arisen actually has at least some effect on the dialogue or story. But sadly reactivity seems to be a foreign concept to JRPG devs.

Didn't notice it at first, but the Fighter has a normal evasion move now that isn’t tied to an attack. He rolls at one point during the Capcom video.

Wonder how the Archer plays now. In the first game they also had melee weapons, which is what your Light and Heavy attacks were used for. Here, for the Archer, it seems like the Light and Heavy attacks are related to shooting, and aiming is an optional thing you don’t have to do anymore with the bow unless there’s something more specific you want to hit.

Want to see more about Vocation Actions too. Can’t tell from anything so far if it simply does that one thing, or if it acts as a kind of modifier for your normal attacks too. Like I could see you getting different Light and Heavy attacks while in your Defend position with the Fighter, or while using Swift Step with the Thief. If it does something like give you a whole new set of normals, losing two Weapon Skills for everyone but the Warrior doesn’t seem like a bad trade.

I'm not looking forward to this game anymore.

They have little dash/slides and jump shoot abilities, just like MHW and Rise.

Oh God, look at 2:09, they kept the awesome 'End of the Struggle' theme when you discover the enemy's weak point and gain the upper hand. They know no other theme could top that. Bless Itsuno and his team
Only dissapointing detail so far is having only 4 active skills instead of 6

It seems the d-pad pawn commands were all changed. A wait command is deeply appreciated.

This isn't confirmed. Might have just been there for the demo.

Capcom survey for event.

Thanks for link. Please everyone take the survey and ask for Maximo remake in the comments (or sequel).

What the fuck did I just witness? Movement/Attack connect assist built into melee moves? Fucking retarded and gay. How could Itsuno fuck up this badly?

I seriously hope this was a demo only thing. This is a recipe for disaster in a game with crowds of enemies and manual targeting.

 

[Anonona]

Movement/Attack connect assist built into melee moves?

Maybe and wrong, isn't it just "soft lock-on" similar to Ninja Gaiden and other action games?

No, action games don't have movement assist. I'm talking about how, when the player attacks an enemy out of range, the character will glide to the target to ensure the attack connects. That's what happens in the clip.

It depends, there are games with contextual attacks that are performed depending on the distance of the enemy. Kingdom Hearts for example has both soft lock-on and attacks that are performed when at a certain distance of the enemy as gap closers. Although to me it kind of looked like it could be a skill attack as he rolls before lunging forward very fast, which reminds me to the skill Hindsight Slash from DD1, but I couldn't say for sure. Haven't seen that in any of the videos that have been posted online, so I maybe it was just a thing for the trailer.

Kingdom hearts is not an action game, and its gameplay is entirely button mashing. Ironically one of the big frustrations with that game's combat is that fights where tough enemies spawn in the middle of a group are a pain in the ass because of the fucking automatic gap closer built into every basic attack, forcing you to use the terrible lock on system.

Since you brought up ninja gaiden my initial comparison was games in the same genre - dmc, bayonetta, god hand.

I hope you're right but to me the attack animation looked like the first basic attack animation, and the whole thing seemed like he didn't mean to change targets at all, as the previous goblin was still alive.

I mean, KH may be a ARPG, but both II and III in critical difficulty are close to action games, with similar fundamentals and mechanics. The more simplistic controls of KH makes it so contextual actions are necessary. Is only button smashing if you play it at anything lower than critical (or use cheese "builds")

I hope you're right but to me the attack animation looked like the first basic attack animation, and the whole thing seemed like he didn't mean to change targets at all, as the previous goblin was still alive.

Yeah, let's hope. I would be very dissapointed if that ended up being the case.

PS: I was looking for videos to check if the attacks have connect assist. Here I time stamped a section where it looks like the player makes a light attack, which fails, and then does a jump attack. I'm not very sure if it means it has it or maybe there are some assist with certain attacks



Later at 9:50 approximetely a fighter does a light attack close to a goblin but he just swings at the air. There seem to be a bit of aim assist with certain skills, but I think it was similar to DD1 in that regard. It still could be the case that the roll was a skill, as I have yet to see any fighter do it on any of the demo footage people have uploaded, so maybe it wasn't on the demo's fighter's arsenal.

Kingdom Hearts is more of an action game than DD imo. DD was built on RPG mechanics and immersive/sim elements.

Anyway, more to the point, some games have a toggle for that sort of thing. No need to go hysterical (like woman) because you saw 3 seconds of footage you didn't like on the initial reveals of the game.

Have they announced any sort of release date window for this thing yet? I just want to pace my masturbation so my dick doesn't fall off prior.

Looks cool but why couldn't they have L1 and R1 both be separate shortcuts for different assigned skills on the face buttons? That way you could have 8 active skills that are mapped. Eh maybe someone can mod that.

If you don't play critical yeah, but kingdom hearts, in particular 2, is not button mashing. Also, it's 100% action.. Don't DMCV have connect assit?
