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

[DJOGamer PT]

This thread is going on the medium quality route I see

Yeah...
That's usually what happens when you let schizos, idiots and doomposters in
They shit all over the place

Who thinks like this?

It's a famous copy-pasta dumbass

You and fork should remove yourselves from this thread, please

I recommend Starfield thread, your talents would be better employed there as your posts definitely match the game's quality

Or perhaps even the Elden Ring thread... I heard they like "challenging" and trite copy-paste content, so you guys would do wonderful among them

In the interview Itsuno said that height affects weapon attack speed, among other properties

this sounds retarded
why would height affect attack speed? what?
Would a dwarf attack slower than an elf, given a weapon of the same relative weight for their bodies?

For what I gather, is not attack speed, but movement speed and attack range that changes depending your height. I'll guess tall character move faster and have longer reach, but regenerates stamina slower than shorter characters.

14 Questions for Dragon's Dogma 2 director Hiedeaki Kamiya

RGJ/USAT: Does a character’s body type still come with advantages and disadvantages? If I make a huge character, will there be areas I can’t get into?

Itsuno: So in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you won’t have any situations where you won’t be able to enter a place because of your body type. However, body type will still have an impact on your character’s stats or characteristics. If your character is taller then there will be characteristics that match that. If your character is shorter, there will be characteristics that match that.

For example, body type can impact the amount of weight they can carry or how fast their stamina recovers. Also, the length of their limbs affect the speed in which they move or the reach of their attacks.

So far, of all things I had read, I haven't found mention of height influencing attack speed, but I could have just missed it.

Yeah I've read that interview and seems agreeable enough. I haven't read anything about attack speed.

 

[deuxhero]

Slider edit mods are out. The height and boob size minimums were completely artifical. Someone deliberately handicapped the character creator.

Well fuck you too Crapcom!

Now we only have to pray that this shit will work online...

DDDA's pawn system is good enough to detect even slight impossibility in stats. I really doubt it.

what's the appeal of this game why normies are so hyped about it?

Polish. That's it - it looks super polished and normies NEED a game to have polish/nice gwaffix in order to look into it. The systems and mechanics underpinning this game look great as well. However, the midwits on the Codex now have mistaken polish for shit, which is where I suspect the naysaying cry baby tryhards are coming from. Like this guy:

The absolute state of video games when westerners get hyped up over the revival of Japanese Skyrim for the PS3, now with more niggers and neo-pronouns. It's bad enough when coprophages here cum over Miyazaki's series of poorly put together Dungeon Lords ripoffs, but now the flops of the early 2010's get to wear the RPG crown?

Calling it Japanese Skyrim is pretty ridiculous and empty. I will level with you, though: FromSoft should just make better versions of Demon's Souls.

 

[deuxhero]

I'm expecting a Cyberpunk 2077 level disaster with how high the system requirements are for 30 FPS and the character creator leaking memory like a colander.

what's the appeal of this game why normies are so hyped about it?

The character creator, which has already been confirmed as deliberately neutered.

 

[Elttharion]

Mods will fix the neutered sliders but there are worse problems with the CC. Female characters have really a strange back anatomy while male characters are normal, the female characters posture and movements look mannish, there is a severe lack of hairstyles including some that were present in the first game, tatoos and markings look weird and you cant cover the entire body if you want to make a tribal warrior, skin and muscle definition is lacking, there are no or very few vibrant colors, etc. Voices are also pretty lackluster. Only thing it has going for it is that its pretty easy to use and see the results. Its not bad by any means but its at most a sidegrade compared to the first game (I would personally call it a downgrade but YMMV).

The first game was amazing in this regard and most of the problems were probably due to tech or budget limitations. Here some of them look like they are ideological (like height sliders) or that Capcom intends to sell some stuff as DLC like they did with Monster Hunter.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

I'll guess tall character move faster and have longer reach, but regenerates stamina slower than shorter characters.

Isn't that how it works in DD1? Bigger character means more base stamina and slower stamina regen?

Never made much sense to me, but hey, game design abstraction...

 

[Silverfish]

Sentinel is ill.

For future reference, it helps illustrate your point if you don't post a bunch of funny shit.

Would've been better with at least a B cup

A sequel to what is arguably the best Action RPG of all time:

*2nd best.

Dark Souls 2 is the greatest, but 2nd place is nothing to scoff at.

Dark Souls 2 is the greatest Souls game and yet a distant... distant second to Dragon's Dogma in pretty much every way from RPG mechanics, world simulation, and even setting and atmosphere if expansion DLCs are included for each.

If I put in the work I could have done it. He just seemed cheesy and annoying to me at the time. His HP is retarded and the one-shots were goofy. I'd give him another try but I'm currently booked and DD2 is almost here.

I thought the final boss of BBI was easier.

 

[Tyranicon]

Something I wanted from the first game that I know won't be in this one: let us design our custom pawn squad.

I don't want to have to wade through other peoples' mental illness to try and cobble together a decent party.

Also, almost completely unrelated, but it looks like my BG3 parody is releasing in the same window as DD2.

You'll be in good company with Team Ninja.

Well, maybe you'll have the #2 RPG of the year.

Hell no, one pawn is enough for me

It has a teleport, a sleep spell and only ONE attack that actually kills (it's Death after all, duh), and it is telegraphed and has a very slow animation. The only hard part is to prevent it from fleeing.

Whitout cheesing it, Daimon is not easier than Death.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Made 4 characters, 2 of each

Arisens

Drake

Raoh

Pawns

Sofia

Was undecided between gold or silver, but a friend told me silver makes her looks a bit sickly


Diana

A shame that the editor only allows to migrate one of each
Also a shame you can still only have 1 main pawn, would've loved to form a party of just those 2 girls

Still have a few ideas...
A middle age wizard, a thief ressembling the Persian Prince (from the Sands of Time triology), a dwarf, a witch, a weird tribal warrior, a redheaded huntress and a Khajiit thief (although that's already 1 character over the limit...)

 

[DJOGamer PT]

By the way, it has already begun...

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Holy fuck, those are some cursed bodies.
