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

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I stand by my critiques though and compared to say, Gothic 2, I think DD is hokey generic shit.

 

[Reinhardt]

I'm glad you guys liked the game. I stand by my critiques though and compared to say, Gothic 2, I think DD is hokey generic shit. Just my opinion though, hope you guys enjoy the sequel.

nigga, calling dd "jank" and then bringing fucking gothic series as opposite...

In short: "Just add the feature I want, nothing else will change" is very naive and frankly selfish.

Yeah, but you should be selfish when it's your money.

Sure, it's good to ask for things you want. Thing I hate to see is when folks act like catering to their kink doesn't take anything away from anyone else.

Games that cater to specific niches are the only reason we ever get anything even halfway nice. Otherwise it's just checking feature boxes where everything bleeds together in a slurry of samey crap. cf. Ubisoft.

Nice. PC users aren't gonna get cucked out of ray tracing this time.

 

[Black]

Why would you want raytracing, it makes things look worse and eats frames.

 

[Filthy Sauce]

I hope they give us the option to disable pawns from picking up shit. I hate spending time sorting and discarding all the rocks, sticks, pinecones and rat turds those retards keep dumping in my storage.

A filter, so the player can decide which type of items they can pick up. I like them picking up stuff and commenting.

No wonder most of the Codex is drooling over it.

Basically, anything that's reminiscent to 1980s/90s schmalz is considered a masterpiece here.

Did you make a new year's resolution or something? Or do you just have an allergy to good games?

Consoom, sheeple.

DMCVSE and other REngine games definitely look better with RT enabled and I'm getting such high frame rates on my 4090, I'll probably still hit my refresh rate with RT enabled and the game maxed out at 1440p/4K. There's no downside for me using it. Also given the legacy of ENBSeries modding for the first Dragon's Dogma, it'd be stupid not to have it. Even if it's taxing to use right now, it's something to have to futureproof the game.

Late Bloomer nice projection with the cuck rating but lmao you're poor

Yeah. Selfishly spend it on any of the innumerable games that has that feature and fuck off.

I honestly can't think of a single ARPG with Co-Op that has the quality of DD combat and enemy design
So innumerable is a rather tenuous assement

And honestly I have to disagree on the anti-coop sentiment
The game is already designed around the PC not fighting alone, so there would be no trouble on the part of enemy AI to account for multiple threats
"But 2 players would break the difficulty, given how much more efficient they would be" - simple fix, just don't allow pawns during co-operative play and grant enemies a boost to damage output depending on the player count
"It would take away from development resources" - at this point in time the game is most surely already completed (just in polishing phase), plus the REngine easily supports online multiplayer so let's not pretend like Capcom couldn't assign a couple of programmers to have that feature up and running in-game under a week

If DD2 won't have co-op, it's simply because Itsuno doesn't want it for whatever reason (like he didn't bother with Divergence and a Coop mode for DMC5)
Co-op would make the game more financially successful and more importantly it would massively increase the replay value and fun factor
There is no loss for anyone here

The trickster was looking weird af but now, this is might be one of the most creative classes I ever seen in a rpg.

 

[Alfgart]

I'm not watching any more videos about DD2. I've seen enough to know Itsuno is cooking the true GOTY and I want the game to be a total surprise just like the first one. See you guys after release!

The first time they showed the trickster vocation and presented it as a buff dispenser I figured it'd be one of those vocations you'd pretty much only put on pawns like the regular Mage vocation, but now it seems like more of an arisen vocation since I can't imagine the pawn AI being good at using something like the terrain illusion. Speaking of which, do we know if it's exclusive to the arisen like the hybrid vocations?

Yeah, Hybrid vocations are exclusive to Arisen

If only there were another successful Capcom rpg series that used this exact mechanic. That'd be pretty useful for comparing notes.

Wow. You mean you could buy that instead and piss off? Crazy. Who woulda thunk?

No, I want it here as well.

Yeah, you're basically a trans-activist. "I need the shit I want in everything even if it's better off without it." Go play Monster Hunter or BG3.

 

[Silverfish]

Yeah, you're basically a trans-activist.

I agree that I am hecking valid.

"I need the shit I want in everything even if it's better off without it."

Why is it better off without? DJO laid out a pretty solid case, I'm sure you could do the same.

Why does it need it? First game was awesome without. You already noted that other games have your desired feature. Why do you have to keep bugging us with your agenda?

 

[Silverfish]

More replay value and more fun.

Why do you have to keep bugging us with your agenda?

"Keep bugging us." Including this one, I have five posts on this issue, three of which are in response to you getting your knickers in a twist.
