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

[mediocrepoet]

Oh God, they didn't properly sculpt the muscles. I can't even!

 

[Modron]

Spent another thirty to forty minutes editing the arisen in the free character creator (last "played" in March), which amounted to nothing as I then looked at other people's and saw more interesting faces. No getting around the neck that becomes bigger higher up, however. Like some animal.

Now try making a character in the Street Fighter 6 demo.

Pick a premade and put on a shirt. Who gives a shit?

If you don't spend at least two hours in the character creator, you aren't really playing Dragon's Dogma.

You know, the saddest part of all this is that we once again got robbed of content that was supposed to be a thing in Dragons Dogma 1. Some guy was able to access the developer console of DD2 and found entries for a MP mode that was called

• "Multiplayer Mode - 'Tower of the New Moon'"

Rumors are that it was supposed to be an endless dungeon where you could coop with actual players. This fucking series is cursed man.

plot twist - it will be shit anyway when you see it ingame.

It's out

The credits song is officially called "A Letter to No One"

This game was a love-letter to no one, which in unusual for recent Capcom games, which are usually oozing reverence and love for everything that came before.

I wonder what Itsuno is going to do now that's he's essentially taken the money and run.

Title theme is "Tale's Beginning"? It sounds more like "Wait Time's Beginning".

The muscles in these character creators are always shitty, too. Same as in Dark Souls: textures. You can't make muscles with textures, you have to sculpt them. Again, the creators all suck ass. So few exceptions that it BARELY depends. Just let me find dev-made characters in the world and make my party. Would have more interesting conversations in the field and towns.

My go-to:

Pick the normalest looking white dude
Slap a full beard on him
Change hair and beard color to black, eye color to blue

Done.

Did he do that or was he pushed out of the company?

Capcom's been going full in with the pandering and creepy worship of DEI/ESG. Even partnering up with autogynephile ex-porn stars for English voice acting and promotions. I wouldn't be surprised if Itsuno saw the writing on the wall, had his vision interfered with and left.

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to allow more subversion to creep in and I can't imagine the next Resident Evil or Devil May Cry game being any different. They already race swapped a character in Devil May Cry 5 after all.

That being said, I did enjoy Dragon's Dogma 2 for what it was. An expansion akin to Bitterblack Isle would be wonderful but I'm not holding my breath.

I doubt he got pushed out. If he was pushed out, landing as the head of a newly formed studio sure seems like luck. He was probably poached by LightSpeed Studio.

Poached or said fuck this, I'm going to do what I want to do now before I retire/die, Capcom keeps screwing with me.

He landed at a newly formed studio at a time when it was reported that the Chinese are sick and tired of the Japanese devs' incompetence and want to invest more in their domestic devs. It's not a good look for him.
