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

[Dishonoredbr]

Their basic stats are not high, and they must carry many weapons in order to use their various skills.

So their way to balance Warfarer is to limit your stats AND carry weight as big disavantage. It doesn't really matter that you can use all Skills if you can't CARRY all weapons necessary.

Also

Should you look for a cure? Or will you see it as a positive boost to their strength and continue your journey? Again, the decision is up to the player.

Choice and Consequences.

The dragonsplague stuff is interesting. I was expecting it to just be a story element, not an actual gameplay mechanic.

People are saying that stats are no longer shared between vocations so your level 10 warrior will always have the same stats no matter in which vocations had been playing previously. So the warfarer will always have weaker stats than the other vocations.

Impossible to minmax stat

Or hopefully it works like crystal project or other similar FF V class system. Changing class change a modifier on your stats , but not everything. If you level up mage and change to warrior you will get slight boosts but isnt higher than "native" warrior chars

No, this is actually better having stats based on what you've moved into, both for balancing and for only having a single save slot.

The reason a single save sucked in DD is because you had to tool around if you wanted a warrior, a mage, an archer, etc. and cared about having gimpy stats. This way, you can play the classes you want to and experiment without screwing yourself. This is an objective improvement imo for what they've gone for.

I even don't mind the flipping class thing because it's always been something only the Arisen can do and seems that they're pushing this as thematically tied to its nature, given the pawn comments in the trailer.

Finally, I've always gotten the impression that the single save slot was probably tied to their server back end re: syncing up pawns at the inn and doing the gift and RC exchanges. If that's true, they've just moved towards integrating this thematically into the game and made it so it isn't a penalty to players that want to try more than one playstyle. This is a definite improvement.

Wording kinda reminded me of The Thing for some reason. Colour me intrigued.

I fucking hate it when videos decide to ruin the first hour of the game for me

Can we please try and preserve some magic around the start of an RPG?

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.

I mean... maybe people miss hokey generic shit? Used to be games like DD weren't rare, but now trying to find an action RPG from an over-the-shoulder perspective that doesn't completely clone Dark Souls and its gay boss rush focus and slow as molasses combat rhythm is almost impossible. I can't name the last "generic action game with a cool story and world to explore that isn't trying to be Dark Souls" I played other than DD.

 

[Zanzoken]

Fair. I agree that Dark Souls and all of its clones and derivatives are ass and have pretty much ruined the action RPG genre.

 

[HeatEXTEND]

the action RPG genre.

They are action adventure games.

Lmaoooo 3080TI in order to get 30 FPS???

 

[Yosharian]

I'm calling it now, this game is going to be a horribly optimised piece of shit on launch

 

[HoboForEternity]

"unoptimized" if you use the whole ray tracing thing, it's still a relatively new tech. RE engine has been really excellent for optimization so far. maybe it will struggle with open worlds, but i am still mostly positive

We can choose to not see them. But yes, their only existance is disgusting.

 

[Yosharian]

Wait is that 30 FPS with RT on? The picture has gone now for some reason

Fuck that noise! Have loli pawns been confirmed?

Are you kidding me...I will barely be able to get 30FPS at 1080p.
Still,
EDIT: Maybe I can get 60...My CPU is way better than recommended (IIRC) and my RAM is double. How come there is no 60FPS benchmark? This is an action game for Nippon's sake.

You can clearly see in the pic that it is 30 FPS on high settings, not RT.

It's a fake from 4chan apparently, Capcom never posted this on their website, Twitter or any other official channel.

Shit
Must hand it to the discord troons though
Other than the typo (which I didn't notice) it is a pretty good fake

Better stick with the Steam page requeriments then:

I figured so. It was nowhere to be found in any public or official publications

 

[Kem0sabe]

The IGN video confirmed there is only one save state and no manual saving, only auto saves on that single slot...

 

[HeatEXTEND]

Zed Duke of Banville Calling this type of game action roleplaying is dumb, they are much more akin to action adventure.

Oh it's fake? Nvm then
