Saw Dragons Dogma on steam the other day and was wondering if it was worth getting. How good/bad is it anons?
>>
>>377081424
better than skyrim

It's not bad.

Great hackin and slashin and it does magic better than any game of it's kind.

traveling is kinda weird though.
>>
>>377081424
Literally my favourite game.
To each their own though, so who knows if you'll like it.
>>
>>377081621
What is so good about it?
>>
>>377081424
Lost count of how many times I played through this game, especially Dark Arisen, which adds a much-needed challenge to late-game. I legit give this game a 10/10. Absolutely fantastic and only contrarian faggots think otherwise.

Combat is fun and exciting, somehow manages to not get old despite how much you do it, especially against larger monsters. It's like a combination of (watered down) DMC meets Monster Hunter. Lots of classes to pick from to suit pretty much any play-style. Spells are kind of a pain in the ass, especially the higher level ones, due to casting times and such. But making/hiring pawns is great fun. Plus the social aspects, while a little iffy (you build social rank by talking to, gifting and aiding NPCs, so be wary of accidentally starting a romantic storyline with merchants etc. Thankfully there's a gift you can give them that reduces their social rank to minimum), is there for people who wanna have a waifu/husbando. Character creator is pretty well done for such a big game. Not amazing or anything, but better than some MMOs I've seen at least.

Great game. Legit 10/10 after expansion.

>>377081723
DMC Souls crossover IMO.
>>
>>377081424
I would say it's absolutely worth playing. However, you might struggle to get through the first 1-2 hours of the game. There is a pretty bad escort quest that you need to do in order to progress the story and it's pretty aggravating

Don't do your first playthrough on the hardest difficulty, it's basically intended for level 25+
>>
The game's godawful. It's not very intuitive for the kind of open world it sets up, while the gameplay itself gets pretty dull by mid-game due to special move spam. Not to mention just how fucking boring the game world, its characters, and its setting are. People often like to dick ride the magic system because some of the moves do look cool, but it's the same old shitty video game magic where everything's just a nuke instead of more creative magical abilities.

It's fun
Some of the stories are pretty neat
The final boss is fantastic, and so is the story and writing to go along with him

But there's a fair bit of walking and exploring in the early game, the last introduction mission is annoying and your character feels a bit barebones to start off with, until you level up and unlock new abilities and stuff. That throws a lot of people off in the first few hours
>>
>>377082464
Same with the DLC Island. That shit's not for first playthroughs. Wait until you've beaten the game at least once (the game has a NG+ feature ala Dark Souls) to go there, or at least when you intend to get far. That place will fuck you up and normal ass enemies make late game bosses look like chump change.
>>
The only, ONLY gripe I have about DD Dark Arisen is that they get rid of the GOAT opening theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZNbabKjKpA
>>
>>377082831
I think it was some kind of licensing issue, they couldn't get hold of the record company or whatever for the expansion so they dropped it
>>
>>377081424
It's the game that made me realize that a story driven MH would be fucking retarded. I want to kill giant things not be a fucking errand boy killing things that have no chance of doing anything to me.

As a general rule: anyone who tells you the pawn AI is stupid is a sign that they are shit at the game.

>>377081424
This is one of my favorite games ever, but objectively speaking it's maybe a 6.5/10 without the expansion, and an 8/10 once you get to the expansion area. The game itself is mostly meh until the latter 25% of a playthrough, but that's mostly because of the glaringly obvious lack of money/dev time, as shown by the lack of enemy variety, static placement of enemies, uninspired dungeons (until the expansion area), questionable design choices (like pausing to heal instantly, stat growth by vocation), lots of walking, and a very small and generic map.

But, DD;DA is proof of concept of something that has the potential to be ridiculous amounts of fun. The game is really the first to meld character action / spectacle action gameplay with an RPG in a solid, non-gimicky way. Combat is SO goddamned satisfying, and there are 4 or 5 ways to go about it (ranger, strider/assassin, fighter/mystic knight, magick archer, sorcerer/mage), so it takes a long time to get boring.

Pawns are also an interesting aspect, which could be explored to greater depth. When they mimic your style of play, it's actually really fucking cool.

If the same great mechanics were put into a competent full game, it would be near perfect.
>>
>>377083741
Anon, they were fighting it off...

So that you could escape.
>>
playing through this game a second time makes it really fucking apparent how painfully average it is

the concept is really cool but goddamn is there zero depth to the combat or strategy. its just wail on the npcs and every now and then use a wacky ability to the make the game fun for yourself
>>
>>377083741
I feel like that only happened on the PC release. It never happened on the multiple playthroughs on my PS3, but it happened the first time I tried on PC. Didn't really make a difference since I just sprinted to the top anyways and revived everyone outside of the Everfall gate in the Pawn's Guild
>>
>>377081776
You actually have to travel.
Also, you place port crystals you will find while playing as points you can fast travel to with ferrystones.

It's not really weird so not sure what this anon is on about.
>>
Basically the best game ever made.
>>
>>377083741

>not just sprinting away with one or two 'come!' commands for them to get the hint/rubberband warp behind you

I get that it'd be more natural to do that shit in NG+ but if you didn't notice how pawns react and how the game handles them as you get further away by the time you reach Gran Soren; please refer to my previous stance of you just being shit.
>>

I'm sure this might matter more if you weren't literally right underneath the pawn guild, where you can just respawn yours and get two new fresh tagalongs
>>
>>377084924
Don't expect consistently good AI in this game. The pawns are generally stupid, but they sometimes do some genius things.
>>
>>377084982
I literally never had a pawn die before so I didn't know you could just respawn the ones you were traveling with. In particular I was worried about what could happen to my main pawn.

>>377085074
>The pawns are generally stupid, but they sometimes do some genius things.
I think they are great at fighting stuff. The only problems I've had with the AI is when I don't want them to fight.

It might feel slow at the start but the gameplay feels great. Character customization is good and so is the pawn system. The game has a lot of potential for sequels but I doubt capcom cares about developing more games like it. That said, it's fun but it's no Dark Souls.

I'd say overall it's a pretty good game, but there are a few things about the game that really irk me, like difficulty scaling high and later into virtually nothing, the way some classes are built and the way the game calculates defenses
>>
its a great game people are just mad they have to walk to places for a while before you get the portcrystals to set up a fast travel network. the pawn system is neat and with further refinement could have been great.

Fantastic game. Best combat in an open world RPG, easily. One of the main reasons I bought a PS3, and I bought it day one on PC, too.

I mean it does a lot of things fucking terribly, but it does things no other game does and it does them fucking superbly.

I recommend it strongly. Not sure if it's for everyone and it does have its faults, but where the game does do well, it does really well. If anything, play and beat it just for Grigori.
>>
>>377086414
if you got to the hydra head escort quest I dont blame you? thats the worst part of the game. you still have shit taste though so you should probably go kill yourself or go play skyrim or something. that may be more your pace, killing yourself that is.
>>
>>377089537
I absolutely dont want that sonce its such a great moment
>>
It has a slow start, but once you reach the castle you get a lot more freedom. The combat is solid, especially when playing as a mage. Also training your pawn not to be a piece of shit is fun, especially when they do things like catch you after a harpy has dropped you from mid-air.

>>
>>377081424
It's good but the fact that it's designed around new game + was almost a deal breaker for me.
It's designed to make you miss things, entire quests, alternate ways to resolve them, you can for example remove merchant NPCs permanently from the world until new game + if you do or don't do some quests, there are several stages in the story where everything in the world changes and you fail most quests that are still in your journal because the game decided you needed to finish them before the start of that stage, there's also a soft save/hard save system designed to make your choices matter but it just locks you with outcomes that you didn't want sometimes because of some bugs like a dead NPC that fell to his death because of a bug, that kind of thing.
I also hate the "2 seconds to react and only it's only possible if you are not too far from the action" events before someone gets killed in a cutscene but there are only a few of them.

If you want to min/max you need to read a guide about the class beforehand and you'll be forced to play classes you don't want to play to unlock things for the one you want.

Also the game doesn't respect the player's time at all, you walk at a snail's pace and you have the stamina of a morbidly obese person. If you don't keep portcrystals in your inventory to place at strategic and far aways places you'll need to run there everytime.

It's still fun thanks to the gameplay, monster designs, atmosphere and cute pawns with relatively good AI.

Something about the way the devs handle existentialism without being heavyhanded is what makes DD's lore so damn good. By the time you piece together what the overall lore is about the worlds God and the cycles, the game is still rolling and treating you respectably as a viewer. It's something you don't get from most modern games anymore, where the plot elements are shoved down your throat with the graciousness of a drowning man.

Nah, yeah I got the gist of it. An intangible race of aliens made a self-replicating cosmic swiss army knife to spark and nurger intelligent life, and they challenged humanity to Jupiter to invite them to become like them. Great fun.

What didn't make sense was the pivotal subplots along the way, such as HAL going batshit. They needed a sequel to maintain that and it still doesn't explain why he murdered the whole crew. Especially when in the first book he only tries to kill the two active astronauts, because the three in the cryo pods were his mission, and his whole "i have to keep it a secret but i'm programmed not to be dishonest" quirk didn't apply to them since they knew the whole thing.

You can't just say that like it's fact and not sauce me on something like that. I've never heard this outside of "dude whoah" discussions between viewers and I've heard interviews from Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke about the film.

It's a fun thing to think about, but it feels like an asspull. Especially when his most major point in this first video is about how we see the monolith in its final form (turned on its side) yet the final appearance of the monolith to David Bowman, as he's beginning his rebirth, is upright.

Kubrik liked his subtle hints, though, like one of HAL's first tricks/malfunctions in communicating one of his Chess moves to Frank Poole from Frank's perspective, when you're supposed to communicate it from your own (and Kubrik was into chess so he was definitely aware of this). So with what this second video is pointing out, it seems plausible. But given that he admitted in the previous video about Kubrik wanting a voice over mentioning aliens, this sounds like it would have been a last minute change that he didn't completely have in mind.

it's a good game for one playthrough. There's almost no replayability. The overworld has nothing interesting in it. You'll spend a majority of the time played sprinting while occasionally tapping the key you have bound to eat a mushroom to recover your stamina.

The combat's decently fun. I would save give it a pirate and see if you like the mechanics. It's mechanically pretty fun, but delivers a mediocre experience as a game.

I thought Fable's gimmick where you could infinitely charge up attacks forever to make them stronger was really cool, but it always lacked the AI to actually make it worth doing that.
>>
>>377081424

I wish I never played it. Not because it's bad, but because I love it too much. I honestly cannot play any other game without comparing it to this except I've played it too much to warrant playing it again anymore. I've invested so much time into my pawns (I had multiple accounts so I could make more) and my arisen that I cannot play a game if I can't make one of my characters from DDDA in that game; and even then I still wish I could have my pawn and arisen together once again plus I have fallen so deeply in love with my pawn that I've rejected all other husbandos. There's also the fact that barely anything is known about how the game actually works, which incited so much discussion in /ddg/ even years after release.
Even today, no one truly knows whether or not training is a meme.

Basically, if you like to RP, you'll like this game and wish there was a sequel.

Like most Japanese games, half the details are finely sculpted to a microscopic edge, and the other half are phoned in embarrassingly.

Pros
>Great combat
>Vernacular faithful to setting
>Great atmosphere
>BEST girls in the genre
>Dark Arisen DLC that comes built in with the PC version is "the real game" where Capcom decides they want to try their hand at Dark Souls, best DLC since New Vegas's. It cracks me up how grim the monologues in this arc are.
>ALL characters are romanceable
>Boss fights are challenging, especially Dark Bishop/Cursed Dragon combo the first time
>Great music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcoLNTG1tTo

Cons
>"Open world" where almost every location is like a featureless rock in the middle of a field, Japan doesn't like world-building
>90% of characters have a single line of dialogue, even if you risk your life to make them your waifu they come to you after the game and say the exact same shit they said when you went to buy fish from them 2 weeks ago
>Weak environmental textures and models like most Japanese games

I highly recommend this game, it's loads of fun and I've spent 120 hours on it. If you're comfortable with its flaws, you'll find a new block for your 3x3.

I recently purchased it on Steam after playing it about halfway through on PS3. I remember it very very fun and having a great atmosphere, but the game world was dissapointingly small considering how fun traveling the roads with your squad was, and the challenges by mid game were already piss easy. That said my experience with it was good enough to make me want to play it again on PC, so I recommend.

It's a game that had a shitload of potential but ultimately failed in many aspects.
It has some of the most mind-boggling open-worlds i can remembers in games. It's not even fun to traverse it, the only interesting segment was a travel to the Bluemoon Tower because it actually used unique mechanics like wind blowing your character back.

Class balance and general combat balance is a fucking ass.
Pure blue classes are some of the worst caster experience i can remember in games, it's literally a glorified awesome button with zero depth to it. The funniest way to play a mage is by simply repeatedly spamming the charged, light-enchanted magic bolt of your staff, which tells a lot.
Red classes are shit, warrior only has 3 slots, they don't have any advanced in-depth mechanic to their melee systems at all.
Yellow classes and their hybrids are the only truly fun to play as, but they suffer general problems of the game balance as well, like who the fuck gave magic archer a stat growth THIS bad.
Six skill slot limitation doesn't help at all, too, feels like some skills should at least replace generic attack/climbing attack action. Fuck, even a shitty Amalur had better casting and combat system despite being a horrible game as well.

Pacing, story, difficulty curve, all screams from being utterly unfinished and poorly thought out. Even DLC, by far the best part of the game, starts re-using environments which is a fucking joke when you enter the same room you visited a hour ago.

And the worst thing, i can't say that this game is hopelessly bad. But i certainly will never understand the title of cult classic it acquired.

If you can't understand it, it's simply because you are very, very, very dense.

We can spend all fucking day talking about the gorillion issues in balance in videogames for all fucking titles there are and by putting your soap opera tone towards everything, all games will wind up sounding like garbage with barely any redeeming qualities.

Truth of the matter is that the game played extremely well. The mood was enjoyable, the character designs remain unique on their own, the lore was interesting, the game was long and heavily customizable and the pawn system was lively even if hilariously annoying sometimes.

There are no games like that in the current generation. And there are none being made.
Why would it surprise you that an actually quality title that then arrives to PC, which is heavily starved on these kind of games hilariously enough, becomes wildly popular and loved?
Specially when 80% of what you list is purely from a personal perspective and has no actual value on the game's quality at all.

You can watch, you can help, you can sabotage her, you can kill both of them.
All choices do something slightly different.
Generally sabotaging her is, funnily enough, the best reward.
Helping her, though, makes you able to capture the traitor and romance him if you are into that, by visiting him in jail. And also lets you get his shield for besting him.

She has a chance of winning even if you dont't help her, buuuut she worthless mostly.

I think you might be delving too much into being retarded yourself, if you can't understand a personal opinion towards something has no weight on the quality value of something.

"I don't like it." doesn't mean it's not good no matter how much you want to scream about it.
He might not have found caster classes enjoyable.
I personally found them to be extremely satisfying and one of the most immersive magic-casting situationals.

The game is hardly devoid of issues, but claiming something is a flaw out of personal lack of enjoyment for it is just moronic.
I am pretty sure even you can wrap your head around something as simple as that.

When you say that there is no such thing as an objectively good game the discussion ends, as you prove that you will keep moving goalposts as much as you need so that you can justify your contrarian shittery.

The game is good not because it's not flawed, but because it's original in many aspects and it delivers an experience that no other game has. That's why some books become cult classics. Not because they're the best of the genre, but because they were unique when they came out. Now stop le epic trolling please.

Amalur's magic system easily beats DD's as far as ARPG magic goes because it actually allows you to be way more reactive while keeping the feeling of being a powerful mage raining down meteorites on your enemies. And that's given that Amalur is overall just as low-quality as DD. Play more games.

There's nothing more satisfying than managing to pull of a sorceror's Cataclysm or High Glicel.
BBI makes it harder for you to be able to use long cast time stuff, so you do revert back to quick casting and enchantment in most cases.

But before that one can say whatever they want about the casting times being long, but the moment you see the whole bandit army in the canyons, or the fucking first cockatrice you fight, being bound by Cataclysm, flinging shit all over the place while everyone stares in horror at your world-ending might, you feel like an actual mage.

Then there's impaling flying enemies on High Glicel and plummeting them down by the sheer force of it. That shit's straight out of Avatar.

DD's retarded way of handling stats and damage calculation is a geniune complaint though.

>>
>>377102734

I don't understand.
There are faster spells in Dragon's Dogma more than giant sorceror AOE's that bind you in place. In fact only Sorceror spells actually have any real high cast time to begin with, most mage spells are about sticking to the target long enough for the spell to take effect/keep ticking.
There are also two other caster classes, being magic knight and magic archer, which also have their own kind of magic playstyle.

I don't understand this complaint. You can buy as many greenwarishes as you want and eat them during combat, even mid-animation or while knocked down. I know you're just gonna say "b-but I don't play it that way" but in matter of fact the combat wasn't designed to be challenging or min-maxed

Game is fucking great with a bunch of really good quests. The problem is outside of these quests and the DLC it's a pretty empty world.

Do you honestly, sincerely believe that Skyrim doesn't have an empty overworld?

Nevermind that, but do you also understand you are comparing the fifth entry of one of the most popular sequels of the western videogame market - built entirely barebones and for the sake of modding. - to a niche title rather recently released on PC?

It's obvious people will be more interested and appreciative of a fresher, less known title that had much bigger chances of being shit yet turned out pleasantly great, to discussing Skyrim for the 100000000000000000000000th time.

I feel there were many areas that were just poorly used. That area you describe is one of my favorites, but for some reason there are no quests there, no npcs. Nothing save cool monster fights.
Feels like they needed more time and content but couldn't deliver, so they just left the gameplay part in.
>>377105596
but anon, I am the bara
>>
I want to get into this game, but what I have read so far states that the game is full of situations where AI fucks up and your waifus end up killing themselves or some shit. Is that true? How hard it is to fuck up quests in this game?
>>
>>377084809
That's why you should always try to use other players pawns. Most of them are pretty good at what they do, even if they might not follow your orders they are still pretty good at combat.
>>
>>377092591

Lmfao, always wondered what is going on there? One monkey is holding the other down while the third twists its nipple?
>>
>>377105693

You can't be the bara, silly.
That's for submissive, mentally handicapped hot guys to keep on a leash.
>>
>>377105768
The AI is only dumb as shit if you don't connect to the internet and use the game made pawns.
The problem with the quests in that there is a chapter limit in some of them, particularly in your first playtrough there is an area for some sidequests that just getting to the fucking area can be troublesome because of some high level bandits. Different from Skyrim the game doesn't use level scaling for enemies. Wheter that is a good thing or not is up to you though.
>>
>>377105768

There really isn't any such issues. Pawns respawn indefinately, and them dying over silly things rarely happens.
With the exception of the Water God's Altar but then you will be dying stupid deaths there too.

Screwing up quests is also relatively hard. Plays like any other RPG. Want to see the side content? Then dont rush the main questline.
That's about it.

>It's nothing like DMC, whatsoever.

Game has Stingers, pause combos and launchers, there is certainly some DNA there.
>>
>>377105768
>How hard it is to fuck up quests in this game?
Try, "If you don't check up on them like a stalker, they're gone." Although, waifus aren't all too good, as they are a part of the unpolished end. Waifu your pawn instead.
>>
>>377105971

Honestly I've played the game offline since day 1 and I've never met with any real issues from the AI.
Going online mostly feels like cheating for an easier ride as most pawns are overgeared and have tactics and knowledge you wouldnt offline.
>>
>>377105768
If you're good, pretty hard
>Escorting Mercedes
>Chimera appears
>I grab her in my arms and get the fuck away.
Done. Your pawns warn you that you shouldn't do crazy shit if it's gonna get you killed. Or if all else fails, just reload. Pawns are actually quite good in terms of AI and can hold on their own.
>>377105991
No surprise, since some of the DMC guys worked on it. It's great tho.
>>
>>377105768
Pretty fucking easy.
I remember accidentally bumping someone off a cliff into the waiting maw of a chimera I think it was.
I could only stand at the top of the cliff and stare as they were torn to bits.
I think that was when I fell in love with the game.
Truth be told, I never finished it cos my ps3 got stolen, and my memory is fuzzy as to which quests you could really fuck up.
I didn't even know that there was a waifu thing in it until ages afterwards.
Been meaning to buy it on pc but I have way too many other games and fuck all time to play them.

>>
>>377106079
I agree on you for the overgeared part, the tactics and knowledge however is something that simply is lacking on the offline pawns part. Also, for you to summon higher level pawns you need to use some kind of "pawn currency" don't you? At least I remember something like that being in the game.
>>
>>377105802
>That's why you should always try to use other players pawns
That's only true if the player is good at training his pawn if they're bad (usually reddit players) then their pawn would be disgustingly bad.

I want to believe you, but that's a lot of coincidences. What did she do to you, anon?
>>
>>377106214

You do need RC, yes, but that doesn't necessarily stop you from stumbling on overgeared pawns that have received high end gear as gifts, per example, and so on.
As for the knowledge part, I disagree personally.
It's not really lacking on the offline, they just learn as you go on. Feels just, fitting. It's terribly boring on an online run when your pawns can literally just solo everything because they know all the weak points and exact timings for everything.
Personally I find them better when they are slightly lacking. Then they are your support, not your vanguard, and you actually have to do the important bits yourself. They still help fine enough. Just don't excell.

Eventually they all get the knowledge anyways, even offline, as they learn what your main pawn learns, so eh.

Once you are logged in via the game launcher you can disconnect the VPN session
>>
>>377106415
Well that might end up depending on the person I believe, maybe because the last time I played was near the release date for the PC version so the pawns couldn't carry the game by themselves at all. Every now and again I'd end up losing one or another pawn, if I didn't do my job right we all would just end up being wiped out.

>>377109880

Is DDO smooth to play at all?
Most attempts at playing moonrunes games, such as playing Monster Hunter or PSO2 back when it was worth shit, really became unpleasant quick. With what both the moonruners and the actual game usually not having more than barebone scraps of its content translated, making immersion null.

Seeing as how it takes a shitload of effort to set up, much like the rest, reckon it's worth it?

Nothing beyond "I'd like a western release, when we get the solid foundations done in Japan"

>>377112247
A DDO Western release suffers from the same issue as Monster Hunter Frontier release in the west. Capcom can't financially establish a place for servers to be set up and maintained, and apparently they "can't find a company" to do it either.

All vocations can be fun (even mage...). You can try all of those anyway, without problem.

A few: some zones if you don't start some quests. Some quests become unavailable when the story progresses. Some items are specific to secondary quests or a certain dungeon.

Assassin of course.
Sword and shield assassin in fact.
Best class.

JK sword and shield assassin sucks horribly. I play it because it lets me be a dickass thief while wielding SnS which is just fancy as balls. Also shoving your whole sword into a cyclops' anus with Gouge has its charm.

Magic Knight is easily the most element-versatile class. Very slow and tanky though.
Dagger/shield assassin is probably the most overall balanced setup.

Both are fun.
I'd say assassin more. Because no clunky giant clipping shield.

Min maxing is unnecessary.
Simply know DLC island = death until you've completed the main quest and gotten your shit dragonforged by the process.
Missable quests are a thing. To not miss them, simply explore and check all message boards/quest areas before you push the main questline too much.
you will get 9999 pawn warnings about LOL MAYBE WE SHOULD GO AROUND FOR REASONS if you are hurrying too much so it shouldnt be an issue, but. Just don't rush the main storyline.
Once you are in the main capital town, that's your queue to take it chill.
>>
>>377113230
Try all classes, they are worth a shot. You can switch between classes and keep your progression for each class. There are a LOT of missables, though most are quests that aren't all that great. Min/Maxing is not important.
>>
>>377112010
>Seeing as how it takes a shitload of effort to set up, much like the rest, reckon it's worth it?
It's shit tier compared to Dark Arisen, which is my favorite game.Don't bother.

Dark Arisen made me realise how much I'd love Van Helsing type class with a crossbow and a 1h sword or a whip.
Also, Climbing in Dragon's Dogma is God-tier. It feels so satisfying to get to seemingly unreachable places.
That's how you fucking do it, Todd Howard.

If your pawn is fun they will hire it and pay you in CP and items. Which is good.
Also you can buy art of metamorphosis if you get enough points and change both you and your pawn.

Gameplay.
Seriously, the flow of combat in this game is addictive as fuck and on PC you can ramp that up with a little mod that triples every spawn in the game.
Editor is adequate, plenty of character customization to be had.
All vocations have a place and a time and the pawn system is probably the best part about the game, even with all its flaws.

>bad
Base game is shit, anyone that says otherwise is deluding themselves.
While the story moves at a slow and steady phase it ends up all clumped up at once in the last 3-4 chapters of the game. Its just so fucking rushed that it falls flat on its face.
The Everfall is all bullshit and i hate it so, so much.
Last "boss" is a joke, the mostly cinematic fight with Grigori before the Everfall almost makes up for it, almost.
Actually all of the solo boss fights in the game are awful. Daimon's first phase is fun the first few times sure, and so is Grigori, but thats it. Gazer sucks ass, Phase 2 Diamon is just a fucking chore no matter how you look at him, Pope is a push-over...

He's pretty amazing and has some OP final attacks, which I don't use because they're OP. Shield in DD feels great.
Also he truly didn't get good. Some bosses are easier to take down when they are doing some special move (charging, jumping, trying to squeeze you)
Also you can take out their weapons, and make them less threatening. And finally you can fucking use items and mobs to cut them down. You can literally throw a goblin at a hydra and slice its head off while it tries to bite it, and then use a fucking explosive barrel to cauterize the wounds of its head so it won't grow again.

The game is garbage, please do not fall into the /v/ bait-hype and buy it.

The combat is so one-dimensional it hurts. All important enemies must be climbed onto and then you press X to kill them. It's really droll.

The graphics are horrendous, and so is the weebshit story. Pass on it.

This is wrong, always play on hardest it gives you way more gold drops. Every enemy on hard has a chance of dropping 10k, you need tons of cash in dragons dogma.

You'll also level up faster and its not that hard.

Solo bosses suck, we know that already.

>>377124843
I disagree, but even then places like /tesg/ have new content and a massive amount of mods to choose from. It would end up like ksg or something

Most posts in /ddg/ were, in fact, waifu posting. I frequented those threads a bit and the community there was shit. Also Dragon's Dogma doesn't even have any great mods, unlike TES games.

Extremely fun, get it now.

>Warrior is better
Dragon's maw. Works, stuns and will get any small enemies under control. Warrior is better for big guys.
>Not sure what your point is
Means it's not all about weakspots, you can pretty much go for the stun or you can even throw them off a cliff if you feel like it. You can even use your companions to bait them and when they grab them you strike them down.
>Not all of them
Not all of them fly and fall when you set their wings on fire, or not all of them can be struck so that they get angry and it's easier for them to lose balance. It's well delivered.
>Hydra's head grows back
But it takes a lot longer. That's a big plus.

I'm saying tesg has mods whereas dd has a pitiful amount of mods. It has no basis on living anymore, it's dead

I wonder why you'd choose to play a warrior in a game where you can clip the wings of a griffin by burning them away
>>
>>377126414
>TFW no mods.
If I could turn Oblivion into a 9/10 game with pretty cool combat I'd love to see DD with Oblivion's or Skyrim's modding potential.
Hopefully we'll see some of that in Bannerlord.
>>
>>377126807
If you first turned the game on with no previous knowledge about it you could assume that with your hueg sword you could cut some faggots in half.
>>
>>377126662
As I said, better for crowd control, thanks for agreeing

Again, stuns are crowd control

Sure, but ultimately pretty much every boss has one weakspot you should attack, otherwise it takes an hour to kill him

>a big plus
The difference is literally a few seconds.
>>
People who don't like this game should kill themselves. Not even joking.

>"REEEEEEE HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE MY WAIFU SIMULATOR"

>>377124754
<Warrior is bad
So people just forget specialization and such? Warriors are for crowd control, spike damage, and instant stagger/knockdown. Arc of Obliteration pretty much stunlocks a dragon if done properly. Ecliptic slash is has stupid amount of AoE and knockdown that you just use it to clear whole rooms. In regards with flying enemies well duh? Melee classes aren't for that, even Fighters aren't built for that. Take Sorcerers for example, people whine about they have long casting times, but they forget when those skills are casted it's pretty much GG, plus most of them are cast and forget. And there is the fact that there are lesser spells that provides cover for things.

You need to play it, its a cult classic.
Definitely not the best game but its quite fun.

After playing the intro I was pretty sure it wouldn't happen. Still, next game needs more choppy bits. If you could cut the wings of a griffin, head of the cockatrice or a golem's arms that would be god-tier.
Only fight that sucked was necromancer.
>>377127139
Wrong. Warrior is good because it can reach enemies without having to climb it, has decent crowd damage too. Ultimately, fighter is better for short distances, also good for crowds and can block, which is a giant plus. Both classes are fun, but strider is the best.

Fuck that, just give us DD2 already. MMOs are shit.
>>
>>377131067
>mmo's are shit

So far DDO has played better than DD:DA and it seems faster. I have seen a bunch of players but it's been all solo for me. Feels great man.

>>377131175
>grinding
Even if the game is really fun it still gets old.
>>
>>377131067
Eh, the only real chance we have is that it was the fastest selling port of a game. Now, Japanese companies are just realizing that maybe the west may want some of their games. Plus there's the fact that the game is literally unfinished, they could just finish it and pass it on.

>mfw living in a world where people think actually travelling from one location to another in a video game is weird.

>>377131348
It is literally DD:DA with other people instead of retarded ass pawns and a better keyboard control layout than DD:DA had at PC release.

>Travel
>Find all sorts of cool ruins, abandoned stuff and mobs.
>Try to think what purpose it had in the world, like that abandoned miner town overrun by spiders, that house where you get ambushed by goblins or that small stone circle where you fight a golem.
Call me weird, but travelling is fun, especially when you're not overleveled.

>>377132415
>traveling at night for the first time as lowbie
horrifying and so fun
>>
>>377133579
I love traveling in these games. Whether it's one of those whoops shouldn't go this way due to high level creatures, or just exploring the area on general finding materials and small encampments to fight.

Agree that first night time run though. Wew lad. My butt hole was like a rabbits nose at times.
>>
>>377133579

It could get intense at times even for a veteran player.

HOLY SHIT, KILL IT BEFORE IT CASTS MAELSTROM!
>>
>>377085819
More accurate would be the sorcerer shooting tiny bubbles out of his staff for 90% of the game, because most fights either don't last long enough to complete a significant cast in the first place, or involve archers that only have eyes for you.
>>
>>377092519

While I agree at shoving multiplayer into everything is shit, THIS game would be so much more glorious.

Then play DDO. It didn't take long to setup and get playing for me today including the English translation patch that makes the game even more fun to play.
