      I mean if they didn't fix any of the actual problems with the first game like the shitty hotkey system, not being able to use items from a pawn's inventory, and other dumb shit then yeah it's a problem.

      Mainly combat, but also the aesthetic of the world and sense of adventuring with your pawns. I will now post a bunch of webms talking about them. This is low level fighter gameplay. The enemies outclass you for stats, but you can still fight them with teamwork and making use of your moves, especially grabbing enemies to bypass their defense and immobilize them which is something good pawns can do.

        This is warrior gameplay at a relatively low level. You have fewer defensive options, but you have hyper armor and can jump right into a group of enemies, facetank the damage and knock them away because this game has the best stagger/knockdown system to exist.

          This is sorcerer gameplay. When you play this class, you're a glass cannon. You can't block or dodge, so you rely on your pawns to draw enemies away from you while you charge up a spell. If your spell charges up, you're rewarded with the most satisfying and powerful feeling magic in a video game.

                Jumping in to currtail a counterpoint: You're supposed to run Sorcerer with at least 1 pawn running comparable skills. When one Sorc starts channeling a spell, the other can jump in at the charge level the first is at. So usually you spend about half as much time standing still, as does your pawn.

                For later gameplay, yeah, dualcasting is better. The first time it happened in my game I almost shit my pants because the game doesn't tell you about it until you actually do it, then you realize how amazing it is.

                It's literally the only game that makes you feel the effort it takes to manifest the mana around you and crystallize it into a spell, it understands that there is an equivalent exchange happening, you need time and focus to cast larger spells, other games just think "enough mana=magic missile" with ZERO effort into the casting too.
                I'm not even a fricking sorcerer dude I play as a fat barbarian in these games, I'm just so completely in awe of the webm. I'm down to try out this class now.

                It depend. Vancian magic was in theory the sorcerers preparing spells at 99% in advance and adding the last 1% when needed. But then they were simplified until they became glorified guns (which, admittedly is more or less the mage function in most combat system).

That's another class archetype I'm waiting for ONE (1) video game to do, I think I got pretty close at Darkest Dungeon but it's spread out like crazy over 3 characters or something.

              A lot of games just copy the systems of DnD without understanding why those systems work in a tabletop setting. What's important is the experience, and trying to replicate the experience of a campaign by simply copying its systems in a medium that is almost limitless in expressive capability is almost always doomed to fail.

            There's more to Sorcerer. The key, weirdly, is their weirdly strong unarmed attack (the slap). Once you start leveraging that, along with the holy spam, you don't need nukes. It is, weirdly, one of the closest vocations to having something resembling a capable unarmed attack and extremely mobile. I am serious. It will bully those magic resistant goblins for example. It's weird, you come for the big nukes and stay for the b***hslap.

              I'm hoping that DD2 gives Sorcerer an actual combo instead of a single force push. It'd be cool if they pulled out a ceremonial dagger or something, throw out a couple of slashes and stabs, and end the combo with the force blast.

                Yes. AI are only good by themselves when they're op, at which point you might as well be playing with cheats or on baby mode. And trusting them to truly synergize with you is insane unless you're expecting them to input read you, which is like a step removed from being a "glorified skill button" anyway.

                I've beat every DMC game other than 2, DmC, and the mobile game multiple times, and played the bloody palaces in those games at least 5x longer than I played their campaigns. God Hand, viewtiful joe, bayonetta, MGR, RGG games, nioh1+2, FFXVI, RE4, evil west, god of war 1-3, prototype, etc.
                Different games have different combos, different mechanics, different paces, different tones, different ways their arenas work if they use arenas at all, etc.
                I don't just "feel like doing combos" and then go play the one or two combo games that're my favorite over and over and over...
                It's not like I'm going into Yu-Gi-Oh threads and saying their games are shitty cause they aren't high end action games either. The director's known for being the savior of the father franchise of action games. There's already a ton of dmc dna in the combat down to whole moves being practically stolen wholesale. I'm not calling for dragon's may dogma. Just take the caps off what potential is already there, that's all.

                Mainly combat, but also the aesthetic of the world and sense of adventuring with your pawns. I will now post a bunch of webms talking about them. This is low level fighter gameplay. The enemies outclass you for stats, but you can still fight them with teamwork and making use of your moves, especially grabbing enemies to bypass their defense and immobilize them which is something good pawns can do.

                where a pawn grabs an enemy, allowing real damage to be done to them and preventing the from one shotting everyone in the party. Your entire premise is null. Your other moron babble about how every game needs to play the same and be designed the same is now pointless.

                You mean when that pawn kills that one bandit and then grabs the other bandit that the player would've just shredded with their sword combo either frickin way?
                In the webm that started with every pawn but the pussy sorcerer sniping 50ft. away being downed and needing to be picked up?

Admitting that the pawn helped a bit is a concession, by definition, on that subject. For someone pretending to be smart, you're really stupid.

      So what I theorize is that Capcom had left over assets and shit from other games and just decided to make DD a prototype using MH’s combat mechanics in a more sandbox game with “role playing elements” (there are barely any). So they made an experimental (and unfinished) ARPG that scratches the combat itch that other ARPG’s can’t do.

      Its also experimental and a fricking mess and barebones like you said. That’s why “Dark Arisen” version saved it from oblivion because OG DD was dogshit.

                When the concept is moronic, absolutely.
                Doesn't mean the game that stems from that can't be good, but it would all be better with a less moronic concept, moron.

                I continued, and I got co-opless bloody palace for dmc5.
                I continued and I got a dmc3 port with bloody palace co-op that to this day is the only version with official co-op and they expect me to buy a switch to play it.
                I continued, and other than 5se, all we've gotten dmc related is the teaser for the inevitably shitty/gay anime, and updates to that frickin mobile nothing game.
                I continued and he double downed on fake dd co-op again in dd2, with virtually the only new things to show about 2 at the time being the addition of furgays and Black folk.

                Not when you're forcing me to play as him instead of Dante or Nero.
                The problem is that he is "fine", but Nero and Dante are a couple of the best playing characters in fricking all of vidya.
                His playability should've been optional, an unlockable for beating the game, or implemented later in an expansion with his own levels where can be quarantined from the base game.

                You're coping so hard it's insane. Everyone in these threads at the time were hype as hell for co-op.
                People were datamining the game before bloody palace came out and found co-op code in relation to bloody palace.
                After that it was like a countdown to co-op with every thread until it came out and it didn't have it for seemingly no reason.
                Besides, 3 had co-op in mission 19, but you shared the camera and suffered a neutered moveset.
                And if you never dreamed of having 1v1s with people as Dante and Vergil. I'm sorry, you're gay.

                DMC5 went down in history, at least here, as an example of how not to do face capture for example.

                As a dmcgay myself, I'd like to see the sequel do a little bit more than tweak the legacy character's movesets, force you to play as new characters that aren't as good as the old characters, and a handful of qol improvements.
                As mods have shown, there is a pretty strong interest in dmc multiplayer.

                there are infinite ways of improving on the DMC formula that don't involve any sort of multiplayer features being tacked on the franchise.
                Those who ask for co-op in DMC are frankly moronic, since to properly implement it you'd have to rebalance how DMC usually plays. And that may very likely involve nerfing the characters

            To be fair, I thought it was odd that Dragon's Dogma didn't have co-op either when it had the whole pawn system in place back when I first got it on PS3. The more I got into the game the less I cared or noticed the lack of any kind of multiplayer inclusion outside of pawns. Besides your friends can hire your pawns for free and basically give them good shit like equips, items, and what have you, so what we have no is a lot better than having my friend do absolutely nothing.

            Why play this when MonHun and Elden Ring exists?

            Been playing Monster Hunter longer than Dragon's Dogma. Both games satisfy two completely different itches. Elden Ring isnt' even in the same ball park as either and isn't even worth mentioning in the same breath.

              I think DD2 is basically Itsuno's last big project anyway, so he can go all out with making the game he wants. If it fails then he is fired or pushed onto smaller projects which is probably his plan anyway. I don't think there is a losing scenario for the man here.

            Itsuno's idea was always that of a single player game with ai controlled companions that you can modify and share, he has shown no interest in any kind of multiplayer.
            Stuff like DDO was made by an entirely different team, so maybe you'll get your co-op in the form of a spin-off, or a sequel far in the future, when perhaps Itsuno isn't directing said sequel because he retired or something.

                Personally, I don't care for co-op, so it doesn't affect in me in any way, I played DMC5 completely solo.
                For DD specifically, I think co-op doesn't make sense, there's a lot of stuff that would become worthless if co-op was added, like pawn knowledge, bestiary knowledge, all their dialogue would also go to waste, even the story wouldn't make much sense, so a lot of stuff would have to change.
                Then there's the balance, the game would have to balanced quite differently, it would become a very different game, that being said, I would probably still enjoy DD with co-op, but I don't see co-op as an obvious upgrade or something that would be an objectively good addition.

                Not for offlinechads like you. I personally can live without all that shit, and I often do even while I'm playing dd1. I prefer to find stuff out by myself organically rather than have one of my random pawns blurting a fact out with their moronic voice.
                >even the story wouldn't make much sense, so a lot of stuff would have to change.
                I don't see much having to change.
                I mean you could just keep pawns in after you implement co-op. I don't know why everyone always assumes it's pawns OR co-op.
                Even if you had to get rid of pawns, I still don't see all that much needing to be changed. Pawns aren't that important until like the very end of the game, and arguably the expansion. They're pretty tacked on most of the game story-wise. Any pawn related stuff that does usually happen either isn't that important or could probably very easily be substituted for an alternative.
                >Then there's the balance, the game would have to balanced quite differently, it would become a very different game.
                Sure, but it would be worth it.
                >that being said, I would probably still enjoy DD with co-op, but I don't see co-op as an obvious upgrade or something that would be an objectively good addition.
                Just comparing it to the pawn system alone, it would be an obvious upgrade.
                Playing with the most advanced AI in the world can't possibly measure up to the experience of playing with flesh and blood human beings you can play on equal terms with, have a true discussion with, and share genuine human emotions with.

        It doesn't "somehow morph" into it, it runs contrary to the basic, fundamental design philosophy of the game which was built around the pawn system and specifically not playing with other humans. You can't even say it could be added as an afterthought because it literally is the opposite of the design philosophy of the game.

      this argument that more should be different from entry to every would make sense if DD was a yearly/biyearly series like Souls games, Monster hunter, Assassins creed, COD.
      all of those games are 90% the same from entry to every but don't face these weak ass arguments that each entry should vary more
      you also have FF that people complain are too different between entries

        That is what i hope we get but i was talking more about the story angle. In order for a story(any story) to justify a sequel it should directly continue the unfinished story of the last game or, at the very least, bring back some of those characters who then occasionally reference the events of the last story. That is what i expect from a numbered sequel. As in "-title- : part 2" otherwise you might as well call it "-title- : A Dragons Dogma Story" because then it's clearly just another story set in the same universe but completely unconnected. If you can just pump out sequel after sequel with the same premise you're just, more or less, remaking the same game over and over.

          I don't really agree.
          My expectation is a dragon steals your heart and then you kill it. Nothing more than that in terms of story. A video game is about the gameplay, and DD2 is quite clearly contiuning and refining that idea.
          It's Final Fantasy logic. Every game has some tropes but the stories are separate.

          The problem is sequels like Darkest Dungeon 2 that change the entire gameplay. That game feels like a fricking scam.

            That is what hooked me about DD tho, that it wasn't like any other JRPG. You had dialogue choices, you had a branching story that even made changes to it's large world and you had an actually fun combat system. It was a western RPG. I really hope i'm wrong and they do connect DD1 and DD2s story.

          Says the frick who? Dragon's Dogma is self contained. We know how the cycle works and what was going on in the first game. Time for something new. New region, new characters, new enemies, new everything. Now they could've used one of the neighboring countries like Mercedes kingdom for as a starting off point, but they didn't and I glad Itsuno chose not to. There's no need to link DD2 to the first game let alone make references to it.

              I'd imagine you either just give them the one boon you want to use, or they'd have to learn the enemies and their weaknesses to give you the correct damage type when they show up if you're going to assign multiple boons to them.

              If they have the right boon and know an enemy is weak to it, they'll use it if people have no buffs

              They need to know, and that means you'd need to use the element in whatever way you can, to show them the enemy is weak to it, then they'll remember and give you the proper boon when needed.

              Honestly? Don't bother, they never truly get good at it, and relying on it is a fool's errand. However, it is semi-useful as backup if you can't do it yourself. You have to basically limit them to one, equip it and use it around them a lot. Once the stars pile up, they'll start using it. If they feel like it. It's never all that effective. Just buff yourself. If you can't, then sure.

                I dunno about that, I borrowed someone's fat little Harry Potter pawn and he reliably gives me fire against zombies, lightning against cyclopes and ice against saurians. He seems pretty good to me.

                I've seen good and bad over the years in the rift. But one thing I have never seen with that is perfect. That's all I'm saying. When you're running around in BBI in rags for the mobility, relying on pawns to buff your weapon isn't going to end well. It's very situational though, it's a lot more useful for non-magic users. I'm training a new Sorc to recreate my old 360 one who will inherit the robe, and personally I won't be putting too much into that. I need a Sorc for DPS, syncing and clearing Leapworm juice off everyone's armour. But if I were say a fighter, the odd buff here and there would go a long way.

                You play as a nun. That's a girl, and you're a gay. You also don't understand that pawns can learn enemy weaknesses and apply the correct elemental buffs, which means you're dumb. Pressing the help button while they're not doing anything and you're not low on health or under some kind of status effect will also make them buff you. It's pretty easy to figure out if you aren't dumb.

              looks like they did work a lot on those animations. in dd1 the both characters just freeze completely for a split second, even mid air but it looks like in dd2 the freeze is a lot shorter and restricted to the weapon. if that's the case then they might actually have found the perfect solution.

    I'm gonna be honest, after all the hype Magick Archer is probably the least fun class. Everything else is way more fun than magic homing arrows but with a finnicky targeting system where the only way to actually have fun is the immolation gimmick defeating the entire point of being an archer.

        Magick Archer has the most mobility and does insanely well in Bitterblack due to all the cramped spaces and dakness.

        It was actually pretty mediocre in DD1 since most things happened in the open, but is absolutely busted in BBI since the entire endgame is basically designed it to excel in.

        >MUH BBI
        That's nice but for the 99% of the game that's not a few rooms in BBI it's lame. Almost every other class bar mage is just way more fun and I can kill things just as quickly while playing something I find more enjoyable.

          NTA, but its not “a few rooms”, Magick Archer clears BBI from start to finish. Kills Awakened Daimon in minutes with a good builds, no buffs necessary. And then again, BBI is the only interesting part of DD anyways.

            I actually find it to be the least enjoyable part of the game. Up there with the RNG purification system that requires RC that you're fricked on having if nobody hires your pawn and/or you're not autistic enough to set up a completely separate account.

    My biggest hope for DD2 is that they make spellcasting a bit faster (not too much so as to make it ridiculous, but enough that you don't have to remove yourself from the fight entirely first to get off bigger spells), and that they make the spellcaster's defensive options instant so they can be used reactively instead of needing to prep them before hand and having them wear off too fast to be of use.

      Mages have a move where you can burn stamina to chant faster.

      It's literally the only game that makes you feel the effort it takes to manifest the mana around you and crystallize it into a spell, it understands that there is an equivalent exchange happening, you need time and focus to cast larger spells, other games just think "enough mana=magic missile" with ZERO effort into the casting too.
      I'm not even a fricking sorcerer dude I play as a fat barbarian in these games, I'm just so completely in awe of the webm. I'm down to try out this class now.

      Casting bolide at night time and seeing the wisps of magic shoot into the sky, twinkle, and then turn into meteors is fricking amazing.

            Yeah, when it's your first time playing. Dragon's Dogma is meant to be played continusouly, so even if you were to clean save you could either grit your teeth and perservere or hire one of your friend's pawns to help you through the harder parts of early game. The game is as difficult or as easy as you choose it to be.

            why would we assume that it's the same, people playing the game already confirmed that the level up stats are no longer tied to the job, so they also probably changed how dmg is calculated.

      it's flashy and is only variations of doing damage for the most part. it's total shit. neverwinter nights had better and more varied magic a decade earlier. what's more is that dragon's smegma magic is not viable for most encounters where you would want to use it because it's so fricking slow. the best way to play a mage is enchanting your staff with what enemies are weak against, which is mostly holy, then doing staff charge attacks that look like little slow moving semen balls. fricking LAME!

          So that rules out it being the same world.
          1/3.
          >not the same story
          What we know so far from trailers is that the story seems to begin in the same way as in DD1, with a great dragon stealing your heart, it would be safe to assume there's more to the story besides that, and there's some talk and intrigue of the arisen being a fake/fraud? It's too early to say just how different the story will be, but so far, it seems it will be different enough from the original, but using some of the same logic and lore, since it is a shared universe after all.
          2/3.
          >not the same enemies in the same locations.
          Do you mean how in the original the spawns were fixed 99% of the time? I do hope that also changes, but we don't know for sure how it'll work until the game's out, they did promise a more dynamic world, so I'm assuming those are some of the changes they meant.

The story resembles a chaotic jumble, lacking any coherence or depth. The characters, especially the once-iconic Pawns, are now more lifeless than mannequins, devoid of the charm that defined the original game.

    Combat, a highlight in the first installment, has become clunky and unresponsive. It's like they took a step backward, abandoning the fluidity that made the initial experience enjoyable. The gameplay feels like a clumsy attempt to reinvent the wheel, leaving players yearning for the janky but endearing mechanics of the original Dragon's Dogma.

    And let's not forget the blatant cash grab with microtransactions. Want a decent weapon or a character that doesn't look like a dumpster fire? Open your wallet wide because everything seems to come with a price tag. It's as if the developers are squeezing every last penny out of players, prioritizing profits over player satisfaction.

    In conclusion, Dragon's Dogma 2 is shaping up to be an immense letdown. It's a far cry from the engaging and immersive experience fans anticipated. Save your hard-earned money and invest it in a game that respects its player base. Dragon's Dogma 2?

        In the mystical realm of Gransys, where magic intertwined with the tangible, a love story unfolded between the Arisen and the valiant warrior, Mercedes, that transcended the mere realm of camaraderie. As their shared adventures unfolded, a profound intimacy blossomed, a dance of passion that mirrored the ebb and flow of the tides in this fantastical world.

        Under the moonlit canopy, where the silver glow accentuated every contour of Mercedes' graceful form, the Arisen found himself drawn not only to her strength in battle but to the tender vulnerability hidden beneath the armor. Their gazes lingered longer, and the unspoken desires that flickered in their eyes ignited a fire that burned hotter than the dragon's breath. In the quiet stillness of the night, the rustle of leaves became a gentle symphony to accompany their shared moments of intimacy.

        Their fingers, entwined like vines, sought solace in each other's touch. A mere brush of skin against skin sent shivers down their spines, and the electricity that coursed through their veins spoke of a connection that was more profound than any battle they faced. Soft whispers of longing and devotion became the verses of a secret love sonnet, exchanged beneath the star-studded canvas that witnessed the union of their souls.

        As they sought refuge in the village of Cassardis, where the sea whispered tales of passion to the shore, the Arisen and Mercedes discovered a haven for their most intimate desires. Amongst the ancient trees and fragrant blossoms, stolen kisses were exchanged like precious gems, and the air shimmered with the palpable heat of their mutual longing. The moonlit nights became a clandestine theater for their most intimate expressions of love, where their bodies spoke a language that transcended words.

          In the golden embrace of the setting sun, their physical union became a celebration of the love that had blossomed amidst the chaos of their journey. Each touch became a declaration, a testament to the unbridled desire that pulsed between them. The world around them seemed to fade into a distant backdrop, and time itself bowed to the intimacy shared between the Arisen and Mercedes.

          The challenges they faced, whether in the form of mythical creatures or the looming specter of the Dragon, only served to intensify their connection. In the aftermath of each battle, their bodies sought solace in the other, their shared vulnerability transforming into a raw, intimate understanding that solidified their bond. The scars they bore became symbols of the battles they had faced together, and the healing touch they exchanged spoke of a love that could mend even the deepest wounds.

          In the end, as they stood together against the forces that sought to tear them apart, their intimacy became the heartbeat of their love story. Beneath the twilight sky, where the world seemed to pause in reverence, the Arisen and Mercedes embraced in a way that transcended the physical—a fusion of souls that whispered of a love that had weathered the storms of Gransys. Their bodies, entwined in an intimate dance of passion, became the canvas upon which their extraordinary love was painted, leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of their shared existence. And so, as the echoes of their whispered confessions and shared intimacies lingered in the air, the Arisen and Mercedes continued their romantic odyssey, forever bound by the profound intimacy that had become the very essence of their extraordinary love.
