I'm excited! What are your plans for release day?
I'll probably put the game to download, go frick a hooker, then on my way back home grab a bunch of soda, snacks and weed, then play until my eyes are bleeding.

Literally never played the first. I'm going to get this day 1 and go in blind. Will it be kino?
Luv me Capcom
Luv me RE engine
>Will it be kino?
depends on what you perceive as kino.
judging by interviews and such, it seems that they've designed the game to be an open adventure, letting the player tackle on things at his own pace instead of hand-holding their progress all the way through.
kinda like nuZelda or Elden Ring, I'd guess.
sounds pretty fun, glad for you anon.
>spoiler
my homie I'm hoping to do that with a 3070 (+ DLSS), that card should let you play at 4K with no problems.
Fingers crossed. And yeah I'm not averse to DLSS.
Do you like actual ADVENTURES? Because DD is an adventurer's adventure game in many respects and DD2 sounds like it's doubling down on that element. The other guy isn't wrong, NuZelda made me think of Dragon's Dogma a fair bit and Elden Ring is also in a similar place
Imagine being such a boring unpleasant loser that you get mad at my choice of LEGAL intoxicants.
Shut up you dumb Black person
100% kino, if you can go play the first; it's like 7 bucks on sale
Not that anon but I also never played the first one. Don't see the need to as why not just play the remake/sequel in a month.
Totally stoked for the game though.
because it's a good game and some classes are likely not going to return in the sequel (mainly mystic knight)
>Will it be kino?
No. The story in dragon's dogma is shit.
it's ludo, you are just a peasant
Petite pawns and skimpy clothing need to be in the game (like they were in the first one) or I'm not buying it. Frick off shill.
>loves crapcom
Yeah you'll love literally any slop they shit out, because that's all they do nowadays. Pass out drunk, choke on your own vomit and die.
why the frick would you not play the original?
I tried and it was dogshit. One of the ugliest games ever made. Thanks for beta testing, now I can play the intended experience with the sequel.
because it's garbage
Secondaries go and stay go
>love Capcom
>hasn't played their best game
For what purpose?
stop being a fricking dumb secondery and go play it
you've had months
I’ll probably just play the game myself, I’m admittedly still a little nervous about it but really looking forward to it too
>come home from work
>play rise of the ronin
My Birthday is March 21 so at 9PM I'll eat some weed gummies, rip a dab and crack a sixer of vodka seltzers. Probably have my wife cook me a nice meal and suck my dick too, there'll be time for plenty of that waiting for 9PM.
Also getting a 4070 TI Super for this. Hoping I might snag closer to 60 FPS at 1440 or maybe even 4k.
>Also getting a 4070 TI Super for this
Kek, my brand new 4060 says hello, I also got it for DD2.
hell yea get a tattoo as well.
Should have been PS5 exclusive
Implying anyone on Xbox is going to play this.
I should know, I played the original on the 360 and getting my pawn hired for Dark Arisen was impossible
>Implying anyone on Xbox is going to play this.
I am. Going to buy an Series X for it as well.
Lmao moron. It was one of the most popular games on the 360, stop lying you little cuck.
It was never a popular game to begin with.
It developed a cult classic status with the years, like Okami
>I played the original on the 360 and getting my pawn hired for Dark Arisen was impossible
skill issue. my pawn was always getting hired and coming back to me with 100,000-1,000,000 rift crystals yp until I switched to the ps4 version in 2016
>dude weed lmao
i prefer aquagay's regular antics to this
Go to work, come back home, play (first day will probably be spending an hour in the CC then another for my pawn), go to sleep. Repeat process.
>26 days before release
>Still no recommended system requirements for 60 fps

should I do my taxes and a few push-ups instead?
No. Do squats instead.
can't, I have the 'roids
plug up and do squats
If you using steroids you should definitely do squats.

Reposting since other thread died.
You can see at the end of this that you can still push large monsters.
So like that but better.

>advanced daggers is just one dagger
>flute isn't the advanced for lute
come on
a spear is sort of like a single dagger, on a stick
>Yellow/red
Lancer. Uses a lot of dashing thrusts and can pole vault to increase jump height/distance. One of the goblin kill animations impales it like you're Dracula. The R1 lets you throw the lance for high weak point damage, but it needs to be retrieved afterwards.
>Adv. Green
Martial artist. Uses combat gauntlets as weapons, but is uniquely viable when unarmed. Steals a bunch of moves from SF and DMC. It also has special grapple moves geared towards certain enemy sizes. At max rank, you can SPD a griffin
>Green/red
Samurai/Saberist/Saber. Steals a bunch of moves from Vergil and MH's longsword. The R1 is a sheathed stance; doing a heavy slash out of R1 does more damage if it interrupts an enemy attack. At max rank you can use a blade beam. There's also a unique skill where you sudoku yourself for an attack buff, but if the blade tip hits an enemy behind you it does extreme damage.
>Adv. Yellow
Arquebusier. Uses a long gun with a bayonet. Has high impact shots with a slower rate of fire than a bow, but the bayonet moves allow more close range fighting. Some Class Skills let you load different shot types such as buckshot or explosive ammo.
>Green/yellow
Beast Hunter. Uses whips and chain flails, and specializes in crowd control at mid-range. The R1 lets you grab enemies from afar. Depending on their weight, you can yank them (or yourself) closer, fling smaller enemies into hazards, or swing off giant foes to reposition yourself
>Green/Blue
Geomancer, worked as a revamped alchemist. Uses a lot of defensive magic that can create pillars or barriers, which when well timed can launch or batter monsters, or even launch you or your Pawns to get around. Gets Stone Forest, also reworked to leave pillars after casting.
>Depending on their weight, you can yank them (or yourself) closer
Something like this could be interesting where they use your characters actual weight. So being a small dwarf you could leap towards goblins even.
Yeah. Nero has the same mechanic in DMC4/5. DD2 has the potential to add more class flavor if these sorts of things vary based on whether you're a tiny e-girl or an 8 foot tall gigaman.

Don’t get my hopes up bro
would be kino though
what if they pick something completely different and (even more) out of place? Something like Rammstein or Jamiroquai.
>Imagine Dragons-Believer starts playing
If I’m being honest it’s B’z or bust for me, but if they do go for some other band and style I’ll be open minded. If a song’s good a song’s good

No furries. The brine will be fed well this time around it seems.
I will employ one beastren out of pity because I’m already assuming that the vast majority will be ignored or be like this gay
and just drown them
No way gay rogues suck
Yes.
I am the bullshit man, my bullshit is credible.
I wouldnt expect the spear vocation considering basic guards have them.
*I wouldnt expect them to have magic.
Guards have MK shields too but don't use magic. The way I see it is them being like a holy hunter, which is a real thing. Think like a paladin but more emphasis on seeking evil to destroy it like prey.
Sounds cool. The guards spear does have a sort of fantastical design.
For this vocation theory, I decided to go along with the theory that we will have Vermundian vocations unlocked at the start and Batthal vocations unlocked mid game, each with 4 basic, 4 advanced, 4 hybrids. I will also gloss over the vocations that we already know of.
>Vermundian Vocations
>Adv Green: Swordmaster
>An agile class capable of running up walls and acrobatic feats. Using curved sabers and miscellanous weapons like throwing knifes or grenades, these graceful fighters run circles around their enemies.
>Adv Yellow: Arbalester
>In contrast with the archer, the arbalester are slow soldiers. After shooting with their powerful crossbows, they safely recharge behind their shield.
>Red and Green: Fencer
>Armed with a rapier in one hand and a off hand daggers in the other, those suave masters of the blade are able to parry and attack in the same movement. Displaying their skills bolster their Pride, and enhance their attacks.

my plan is to see if there's any mtx DLC packs within the first 2 weeks, if theres none = buy, any = no buy
I finally found a beautiful armored bra and I am absolutely happy.
What about similar clothes in the sequel? Did they show something?
I desire her milk.
I desire her milk and for her to milk me while I drink her milk.
This is going to be in the sequel at least.
I wouldnt hold any hopes for the slingshot
Today I did the witch's foggy forest and attempted the waterfall dungeon but had to leave because it fricked me up.
I really like dungeon crawling as a party, hope there are a lot of good dungeons in 2.
>hope there are a lot of good dungeons in 2.
me too. I'm concerned about being a bunch of shitty/simple ones to fill the big world, but as long as get a few like the water god temple or the catacombs in DD1, I'll be happy.

Fricking madness that Beastren don't have tails. What were they thinking?
For a lot of people, tails are where they draw the line for "furry garbage"
>Let's avoid extra work and clipping by omitting tails
Probably.
I'd like to think they lost their tails in a similar way humans did: magic.
forgive me but ill be looking up where the warrior quest is asap
The warrior and sorcerer vocation quests are freebies.
Fire, ice, lightning!
Dark and holy!
Heed my call.
Goblins hate fire and ice both.
Cyclops and other tall creatures get zapped by lightning.
Holy works against everything.
Dark works against naught.
I shall theme my pawn around an element. Here's hoping she gets to unlock all sorts of situational, small spells!
Most legit DD thread starter post
>www.Ganker/advertise
DD threads have been made on Ganker for 10 years.
DD has been consistently posted on Ganker for way too fricking long without the slighest acknowledgement from capcom and the developers to the point where people didnt believe that DD2 would come despite TWO separate leaks confirming it.
But obviously now a new title is coming out NOW there is no legitimate interest in DD...
Just ignore them, you can't convince them with arguments. They're literally irrational and have no stake in this, except for hoping their failed attempts at trolling will influence the eventual success of this game (it won't)
>except for hoping their failed attempts at trolling will influence the eventual success of this game
I'm not sure it's even about that. they can't possibly expect to have any real sway over the success of a game. I think it's seriously nothing more than spoiling the threads for everyone else. a sort of thing like "if I can't be happy, then no one can"
It's definitely that as well, but they're also trying to chase the rush they got when Cyberpunk released as an unfinished piece of shit. Of course this was due to deadlines, deceitful marketing and bad decisions by the devs, but to their crazed fragile psyches it was all them and their memes.
>to their crazed fragile psyches it was all them and their memes
that's absolute nonsense. they say that there is no such thing as bad publicity because even when you shit-talk a game, you're still promoting awareness of it. when aquagay makes threads about DD2, he's potentially informing others of the game's existence, people who might've not known of it otherwise. when shitposters spew their "hurr durr 9 vocations" BS, they're only bumping the thread to page 1, where it is more visible to lurkers.
all this effort dedicated to shitposting, and the only thing it will do is generate more sales.
Probably only works on good games, Suicide Squad got a lot of negative attention but it's a massive failure
yeah, publicity by itself can't do all the work. it just helps. game needs to be good to start with. which, of course, DD will be.
>Taking the bait
These are no normal Anons, they are Raiders of the Lost wiener.
There is legitimate interest for DD2 here but almost none of the OP posts are actually made by genuine Anons, they are always shit like that
>What are your plans
>What class are you going to roll
Nobody gives a shit about your "plans" for the games release, posting like OP did is extremely shill behaviour, something you see on the most shilled sub r*ddits of all places
You want to talk about DD2 here? Just fricking make a normal thread talking about it instead of these "Which class are you going to play" fricking weirdo posts
Like some fricking skinwalker is trying to fit in or something, extremely inorganic
This also seems to happen with Crapcoms games here, like the fricking Moushley threads

Why clearly the act of educating a newbie is as bad or worse as being a newbie.
Is it true that the true DD fans have been betrayed by Itsuno and Capcom? That's fricked up.
i have an additional 200 hours on an alt
you sound like a homosexual btw have a nice day
Its not a dick measuring contest nerd
Its to prove youre not a paid shill
well im not measuring dicks
you're still a collossal homosexual though
No shit. That's the discord homosexual that got fricking reamed for not knowing anything about DD1 and then posted three different fake playtime images, one that was taken from fricking reddit with the thread identified through reverse image search.
He's already reposted other people's shared screens too and cut out the sidebars.
So, congrats, he'll use your screen next.
don't give a frick

I'll probably be mostly sober on the night, maybe I'll sip some wine while snacking. I'll stay lucid if I'm going to play long hours. Might have a guest or two over though so I'll have to get rid of them somehow.

I cant. Im doing my masters in computing science.
After im done though i will be playing DD2.
Are the rumors about a demo true? What are our actual chances?
100%
We know there's a demo on Steam, we don't know if it's a public demo. The SteamDB entry is typically used for demos, but that could just be there for reviewers/influences.
This
combined with the fact that a youtuber nuked all mentions of a demo from a video guarantees theres a PC demo.
>capcom normally does demos
>updated the steam page with unknown app
>set to be "free on demand"
There's almost certainly a demo but as
said it may not be for the public. The RE4 remake's demo dropped on 9th March and the game came out on 24th March, a 15 day difference. If they do the same again the demo will come out on the 7th, which is where anons are getting that number from.
Even Monster Hunter gets demos. Dragons Dogma is just mature MH.
I'm going to get Dude weed and get really stoned and play DD2. Then probably some food I like. I dunno, I have this thing where I try to compound good things into one day
>I dunno, I have this thing where I try to compound good things into one day
it's called celebrating!
That's my plan too. Get 6g of of some sour D and instead of ordering takeout just go to my local all you can eat buffet and stuff up some carry out containers.
>What are your plans for release day?
I will avoid this place until I've played through the game at least twice.
How does the character creator affect stamina/carry weight and the like? The tallest possible character can carry the most but is slower for instance?
Apparently Carry Weight is no longer tied to body weight, since it's now its own stat linked to in-game resources.
One would assume it still affects stamina and regen, but that might also have changed.
The real question is whether it still affects weapon hitboxes. in DD1, small Warriors were kinda bad since their reach was low, whilst bigger characters literally had bigger weapons and more reach.
Similarly, it was always best to be a small ranger or sorceror since you attacked with projectiles and had the smallest hitbox, so some attacks could whiff you.
>Apparently Carry Weight is no longer tied to body weight, since it's now its own stat linked to in-game resources.
It also seems that we can get extra carry weight when levelling up, I'm assuming that's what "Max Enc." means here.
You can find golden beetles too.
I wonder if only the arisen can use it. maybe you can give it to your pawn. maybe you can gift it with another person's pawn when you send them back. imagine getting one!
this is a cool addition though. I like collectibles a lot, but they need to have real, practical use for me to give a shit about getting them all. at least, I assume they're collectibles and there are a finite amount of them placed in specific locations.
It has the option to give to a pawn, but can't say for certain if they'd use it.
And just for completeness heres his equip load after using the beetle.
>This combined with DD1s ng+ mechanics
Would be pretty cool. I really hope we get really in depth NG+ mechanics with dragons dogma 2.
If we had DD1s NG+ then yes you would possibly be able to get infinite carry weight.
Though in DD1 there didnt feel like there was too much reason to loop back around in main game aside from a new minor collectables in the main game + being intimidated by the scary world.
This is cool, I hope there are more items that give you incrimental stat gains. Like bobbleheads in fallout. A treat for any minmaxxer.
I assume it works for both Arisen and Pawn (as in using it gives both a stat increase)
Trying to stay as 'very light' on my latest midget ranger pawn was a pain, so I appreciate it.
Any info on what weight affects now? Just knockdown/grapple resistance?
I hate this. If we increase our carry weight by finding this beetles, which I'm assuming are in the same place each playthrough, that's gonna hurt the sense of exploration and "doing what you want". You know you're going to have to go to those specific spots to upgrade your carry weight, instead of doing it naturally by just playing.
I at least hope the locations are randomized, or even better it's just a temporary buff.
Here is hoping you can get permanent increases to where it becomes a non issue. I'd wager so because those camping kits alone weigh a shit ton.
Actually ruined my day, that was one of the more unique elements of DD1 and they fricking removed it?
We know that it effects stagger when you use your weight against something. Weight and I think leg length effected speed in the first game and I imagine it would work the same here.
pre-ordered it for pc and have been blackout from any footage its hopefully going to be my goty it really doesn't need to be much more than an improved version of the first one
I'm going to play it with astronomically low expectations, because everything I've seen leads me to believe that the game is going to be inferior to the first and a mediocre game at best. Lots of things put me on edge about it: modern capcom, $70 price tag (has there been a really good $70 base price game ever? If so, please enlighten me), footage that looks somehow worse than DD1 as far as combat, like its dumbed down and less impactful, and the setting looks exactly the same, almost like its a remaster rather than a sequel. Hope I'm wrong.
That said, this thread reminds me of when I was a burnout 420 blazer dude booze and vidya and anxiously awaited MGS4 because I loved the first three titles so much and was so hyped to see what happened after 2. I ended up falling asleep during a cutscene after blazing and boozing on some 4lokos back when it still had the good energy drink shit. Anyway, I digress: on release day I'm hoping all my reservations were wrong and the game is amazing, but so many things make me hesitant. Thank you for reading this old boomer's blog.
>has there been a really good $70 base price game ever?
Forspoken.
>I'm going to play it with astronomically low expectations, because everything I've seen leads me to believe that the game is going to be inferior to the first and a mediocre game at best.
I think they got rid of min maxing, which was a mechanic i HATED in original DD, and yes i know its something that is easily made irrelevant by BBI weapons and periapts but it still reallly fricked with my head.
Yep, same. Did a few playthroughs as a ranger (NG+++) and I ended up with more stamina than I knew what to do with. On the upside, it made the 10% stamina recovery per kill effect from my gauntlets absolutely massive, but I'd still prefer the extra strenght. It's just annoying to have to play 200 levels as a different vocation to optimise your character.
>because everything I've seen leads me to believe that the game is going to be inferior to the first
Lazy ass bait
Does weed really make video games better? t. loser who can't get any
Yes. It amplifies everything. The music especially.
You can order Delta 8 or HHC distillate online on sites like Cannaclear. You can eat it like an edible or vape it. Your body breaks it down into THC and gets you high.
It does for a bit, but then like all drugs it just becomes a crutch with enough use
Don't worry too much. You're not missing all that much
Damn the Beastren look like shit.
>Can be a disgusting furry
>Can't be a noble elf
Why?
Beastren literally look more like elves than they do cat people.
>20 days left
>still no new vocations announced
Why would they wait until the last moment? Makes no sense
There will be hidden vocations the players have to find themselves.
Maybe there's no more vocations to be revealed...
Why spoil things? I'd rather go in blind.
>20 days left
>Still no explicit sex scene where you coat your groin in catnip and shove it in your Beastren's pawn's face during camping revealed
Why would they wait until the last moment? Makes no sense
Having sex with pawns is illegal because they can't consent.
who said anything about consent? their my pawns and my property, i'll do what i want with them
Some anon made a graph with the dates of next vocation spotlights. According to the calendar, we have one completely free week before the game is released - aka two possible spotlights.
Pink&Purple bros, trust the plan.
Demo date predictions? First week of march is a pretty safe bet.
Even though I'm a NEET, I'll make sure to have an empty schedule in the short term.
march 8 is the most common guess
Capcom is doing public demos on Japan until March 2nd, so if there'll be a normal demo, it'll be after that date, March 8th seems most likely, as it would be exactly 2 weeks before release.
>no AMRAAMs in War Thunder until late March

>goth bimbo thief arisen and giant brown Amazon fighter pawn
or
>giant brown Amazon fighter arisen and goth bimbo mage pawn
mage is the most common pawn vocation, so maybe consider the amazon fighter pawn. less competition may lead to more hires.
you speak wisdom
This is incorrect. Arisens with any of the other pawn vocations will almost always hire a mage into their party.
i'm gonna play mage for once, should i make my pawn a mage as well? was thinking of having him be an old man or something along those lines, like a cool mentor or something
at least make one of you a sorcerer eventually. might gimp yourself otherwise
I honestly don't remember much about DD1, was mage the go to for support? might just be making it up, i plan on going whatever lets me cast the best magic
i never really got into the whole grinding dragon gear and bbi items but i did 'finish' it by killing daimon or whatever it was, including his final form
i still have that one line stuck in my head 'then i wish to tear it all asunder' and all the bullshit it caused
mage was the designated support vocation, yes. sorcerer is for big dick, planet-shaking magic.
This is why you make an amazon mage
The game will have a severe case of mageflation at relase, making your character another vocation is a counterintuitive, but I think effective, way to earn more RC than you would with a mage. My main pawn will be an anime-looking (as much as the engine allows, hoping to go for a FF7-ish look) elvish archer. Prioritizing looks over stats, at least early on.
looksmaxxing is definitely going to be the meta, especially early on
I don't care how much it gimps me and my pawn, fashion will always be the priority.
Absolutely, I'll do my best to stand out above the rest. Just going off of the pawn I've seen in DD1, it won't be too difficult. Still spending my entire first day on character creation though.
I pray Itsuno will make transmog real. It makes so much sense to include. I dread the best armor looking like the red vocation lvl3 bbi sets.
There's art in finding looks that are mechanically sound but also visually balanced, DD2 will probably be on the easier side anyway even if they make it harder than the first one.
Vocation-based armor restrictions are either gone or severely reduced from what we've seen, which gives me some hope for fashion dogma 2.
Full on transmog would be great though.
>Full on transmog would be great though.
And I mean FULL-ON transmog. Weapons included, so long as they're the same type, it shouldn't be a problem. A lot of the later warrior swords in DD1 look way too bulky, the basic greatsword unironically looks great
Frick transmog. It needs to be deleted from all games.
I hope Itsuno makes your copy and yours alone have the dumbest looking late game armor possible. I mean stuff that makes the hellfire set look great, with no option to change it.
Hey, that's fine by me if they look good. I assume you retain stats from whatever you're *actually* wearing?
Anon, the only things we've seen that are across vocations are fashion outfits with literally no stats.
big booba olive tanned visigothic gorilla woman for both with dark subculture goth-y armor/fashion, then hire twiggy twinks and short sporty girl secondary pawns obviously
Don't be a degenerate homosexual and play as a male instead.
With a small beastren pawn!
that shit scary, what's that image from
DD2
me in the back
Yes
Barely made it, I'm finally ready for DD2.
If you used a guide then it doesn't count!
I abandoned all delusions of control and felt like letting go.
I didn't until I had to, no one's getting all non-board missions on the first playthrough, besides that I went in completely blind with a strider->mystic knight build
I honestly just want the demo so I can practice with the character creation and not worry about that on launch so I can jump right in.
This. There's many unanswered questions I'd like to get into.
DD1's demo sold me on the first game.
Thank you to the anon who posted the filters these threads have gotten 100% more comfy.
the shitposters are splitting their time between DD2 and Elden Ring now so we can have good threads again (sometimes)
I'm really looking forward to coming here after my first playthrough. I'm sure I'll miss a ton of stuff if quests are as time sensitive as they were in DD1 (especially since DD2 doesn't have the pop ups)
Might post my pawn for free RC with my eyes closed, that's it.

Menella.....my pretty kitty.....
there is only one answer
She definitely looks better from this angle. I can already tell I'll spend ages in the character creation.
She got that childhood crush vibe, cute
doireann's face with wilhelmina's body and nadina's clothes
The bawd
Nadinia and/or Doireann for their JP voice
Gimme the cat in the white dress.
Disa is weak to anal.
Wilhelmina has khazar milkers.
Doireann for making her choke on my meat.
Ulrika for making her watch me milk Wilhelmina.
Menella for patting her at the base of the tail.
Nadinia for putting her up for adoption at a local shelter and then pretending I never had a cat.
>Wilhelmina has khazar milkers
Her breasts aren't even that big, Ulrika and especially that random wolf hat pawn mog her.
My c**t hagwife Disa.
She might not be a c**t
I would be heartbroken.
the description heavily implies some c**ty behavior
You need to add my wife already.
>tfw Arisenon comes in to order a tall glass of milk for the 6th time today
I mean can you blame him?
She needs a change of haircut and outfit, otherwise she's perfect to raise my pureblood beastren children.
>my
>pureblood beastren
Doireann's face looks off to me. Her nose is too flat and her lips are to big, maybe
she looks like she has aught. i hope there's a relevant dark elf to get involved with in her stead.
does this moron think this is a VN or something, rpg NPCs, especially waifus, never have this much depth to them. And even if they did, this is fricking cringe, lmao.

Enjoy getting cucked by a bear, bro.
If they won't let us make the cat girls our beloved I'll boycott the game.
no chance at all that they'll omit catgirls from the beloved system. you could frick children in DD1.
I can't see a reason why they would prohibit us from making a Beastren a beloved, but the people that are expecting the Sphinx as possible beloved are probably fricked.
It comes out on a Friday, so chances are I'll take a sick day that day or the next monday to get a bit of a longer weekend.
Besides that, I'll just relax with some chinese food and light alcohol consumption.

ESL dogma youtuber
He doesn't seem to be very popular, would he really have some sort of exclusive info on the demo?
>He doesn't seem to be very popular
only because DD isn't a very popular franchise. it's slim pickings for capcom if they want to reach out to streamers to help promote their game.
rift doesn't seem like the type to lie about this. he's a decent lad. he's turned down cash offers to promote those shitty mobile games in his videos out of pure honor and principle.
He does seem like a decent Youtuber, and I hadn't seen him doing advertising either, it does seems to be all out of passion, also bonus points for apparently contributing to the DDO revival project.
The original unedited video is up on bilibili. The part he cut out talking about the demo starts at 3:45
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1zp421d7aG
wtf why is that on bilibili
Some dude put chinese subs on them.
Chinese regularly rip random youtube videos and reupload them on bilibili for views.
>it's slim pickings for capcom if they want to reach out to streamers to help promote their game.
It really isn't. They'll just go through Arekkz like they usually do then invite a bunch of people to a discord to show a demo.
Capcom has already given preferential treatment to the MonHun people for DD2.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but as
said there probably aren't that many channels THAT dedicated to just Dragon's Dogma, only other person I can think of is Infinite Cringe.
I feel like his ESLness mighta made him let slip shit about the demo when he shouldn't have (if he's not just leading people along for no reason).
Do drawgays still exist? I want my pawn drawn by human hands.
Has Anglo-Saxon armor been confirmed yet?
not yet my friend. praying for you to receive your heart's desire
I'll even accept more timid and bland Dark Ages armor as long as I get to wear chainmail without a bunch of fricking sauron spikes on it
that ones pretty much a given in Dragons dogma
but holy shit
i want a helmet like that
I love lamellar armour and owl-helms so much.
I’m really excited because I’m off the week before Easter, so I get to go from being super busy at work to chilling out with DD2. I haven’t played very much of the first one honestly, maybe like 5 hours or so, but it’s enough to know I’ll probably like the sequel if it’s just a better version of the first one. The only thing I’m concerned about is the atmosphere, I really loved the atmosphere of the coastal area and I’m worried the forests they’ve shown off so far won’t be as good
I wouldn't worry about atmosphere. some of the environments I've seen in clips have been the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen in vidya. seriously breathtaking.
Booked the following day off work, gonna go crazy on DD2 on release night, then I'm meeting some friiends the following day that work in the vidya industry and i'm not going to shut the frick up about DD2
speaking of elves, do we know how pawns learn their special traits? ie elvish translation.
ELF SEXO
You just pick them in creation, from what we've been shown
Really? Where was that shown?
I figured you'd be able to pick them up in game from doing certain things.
Yes
any of you play dd1 with dinput8? what are your favorite weapon combinations? I'm using assassin and mystic knight skills on my sword, and magick bow.
The main reason I got the mod was for shield and longsword. However daggers with mystic Knight shield is fricking awesome. Abyssal anguish skull splitter is the shit.
Longbow + sword
Enjoy whirling arrow and magic canon nonsense
Anyone got the webms of a fighter / strider grappling goblins and beating em while they are held down?
Thanks
im not sure whether to predownload or just download it on launch, ive had really bad experiences with unpacking. why the frick is steam so incompetent with this shit? fricking consoles figured it out way better
You PC Black folk playing with kbm or controller?
I briefly tried DD1 with keyboard and it just didn't feel right. so controller forever.
You will make a cat pawnfu right? You won't have a boring elf or human pawn right?
Both me and my pawn will be cats.
human arisen, cat pawn. no romantic connection between the two.
I will check if the character creator has a fur pattern close enough to my actual cat (then I will name him "stupid idiot"), if not I will probably just make a brown waifu pawn
No, because beastren are garbage. The only acceptable cat friend are palicos. Making a beastren would be betraying my loyal cat friends of 15 years and no right footed man would betray such loyalty.
Nah will make muscle mommy with shaded bedroom eye
No, by beloved is going to be a cat. As for the rest:

>WHITE HUMAN MALE PAWN (COOL OLD MAN)
Of course.
Is it still Fashion's Dogma? Can you layer clothing?
nope layering is out and gauntlets + chests are merged into one slot and legs + boots are one slot.
No one knows yet. Evidence for the existance of layers and not both exist.
we've literally seen the screens and there's no layering slots. We're just getting preset variations.
I think this is the case too but many armor parts share gloves or clothing between them. But we'll have to see if it's just a simple re-use or something else.
It's just gonna be re-use. Some cope by thinking we're gonna merge/layer stuff in some other way, like crafting, but that's illogical. It would just be doing the exact same thing that we could already easily do in the equipment menu of DD1, but with extra steps. And we've seen nothing to hint at being able to do that either.
I'm guessing they've merged slots and removed player controlled layering so that they (capcom) are more in control of the /fashion/ options. They know idiots buy up visual mtx packs, so with them being more in control of how stuff looks they can make more visual variants and sell them in $5 dlcs or whatever. They love doing this shit, look at MH.
So maybe you want THAT chest piece with THOSE gauntlets but there's no preset combination for it in the base game... well lucky you, if you pay for this mtx pack you can have that combination. Yep, the capcom suits are this shitty.
Imagine being this invested in a made up scenario.

>look at MH
So anything the Arisen wears will be unlockable transmog after completing the main story but you still have to grind or do online events? What are you trying to say now?
he isn't saying anything
I know he isn't, but him pointing at monster hunter is moronic. They don't even charge for Universal Studios crossover shit anymore and just put it out online when it used to be park exclusive tickets.
The hairstyle packs are shit though, but they've always done post release shit like that. It's why you need to download a complete pack for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite now because the PSP servers are dead.
I'm pretty sure the only hunter armors you actually have to pay for are the preorder layered sets like the Yukumo set from Iceborne.
>Concern trolls are moronic
I am shocked. Shaken. Bothered to my very core.

got any cool sorcerer webms?
Will there be any buffs/equiments that alters the stamina for mage/sorc ? i can see those classes end up being some seriously overpowered glass cannons, spamming magic from a distance.
Archer has an augment you can learn to increase maximum stamina, and mage has one that increases stamina regeneration; sorcerer’s heavy attack rapidly refills stamina. Sorcerer’s health and defense seem to be noticeably lower than mage’s though.
Why the frick is NOBODY complaining about the cat people in this game looking fricking moronic? Why do they have elf ears instead of regular cat ears? They look so fricking horrible yet NOBODY seems to give a shit.
>NOBODY seems to give a shit
Exactly
Nobody that matters gives a shit.
They look fine. They're just less frickable.
I mean they're basically palicos stretched to human size.
>I mean they're basically palicos stretched to human size.

Should I play DD1 or will that just kill my hype for DD2D?
Why would it kill your hype for DD2?
Too much of a good thing can be bad for you
Then pace yourself with moderation.
If you do then grab DXVK on PC
DD2 looks so much grander in scale and mechanical depth that you could play DD for a week now, beat it once and enjoy some of it, and not spoil yourself for 2 at all unless you don't like the game at its core.
will 2 have a starting town or will there be a different origin for our arisen?
will it be as cozy as cassardis?
we
just
don't
know
i hope dd2 has more npcs that treat you like family
the people in cassardis are very nice
About to start DD1.
Hard or normal?
I like my games hard but I heard hard is easier than normal here
Hard provides kino start. Maybe switch to normal after bandits so you don't get flooded with gold, then switch back to hard for the post game and DLC.
Hard mode problem is that it has shit balance, it gives you more XP and gold. You will get super fricked in the beginnig but the game will be super easy by the end
hard is more for ng+, trying to do it from the start kinda needs you to know a lot, save super often, and cheese fights
you can swap to hard at any time and you just restart the story but keep all your stuff if you think it's too easy
Early game on Hard is a b***h until you have a few levels in you and then it becomes easy. The only downside to Hard is the extra stamina drain on everything (running, skills etc) but the gold and exp you'll get far outweighs it.
I FEEL LIKE LETTING GO
I believe there is going to be a greatshield vocation. It doesn't make much sense for there to be only fighter for tanking since warrior doesn't really fill that role.
I loved mystic knight because he had party elemental buffs and AoE field effects. Some sort of purple/red or pink/red vocation to fill that role wouldn't be too terrible either.
>greatshield vocation
definetly. We've also seen assets for big shields being used as decorations.
The only reason I am not 100% expecting a paladin vocation that is a holy themed MK with their buffs made into core skills is the fact MA got holy furor.
>carry weight
>fast travel consumables
First things to mod out.
Adventure is not for you.
I love adventure, I don't like unfun mechanics that implement deliberate inconvenience for no other reason than convention and padding.
Fast travel being limited works for the world design of DD, encourages exploration and shortcut finding as well as smart usage of fast travel items in the first place. If you just fast travel everywhere you'll be missing quests too.
As for item weight, its part of the experience and immersion. Plus weight ties into gameplay. You can stock yourself up with all the curatives you would ever need but then you're weighed down which hurts stamina regen but makes you heavier which might help against giant wings buffeting you about or it helps you take an cyclops down or something similar. Just being able to carry everything with no penalty and impact is lame.
>>Fast travel being limited works for the world design of DD, encourages exploration and shortcut finding as well as smart usage of fast travel items in the first place. If you just fast travel everywhere you'll be missing quests too.
This only matters for casuals who don't explore just for exploration's sake. I WILL explore, but I don't want to be strongarmed into it at all times.
>As for item weight, its part of the experience and immersion. Plus weight ties into gameplay.

All it does is waste time. That's all it ever does in any game. You're full up and you have to go back to some stash, rince and repeat. It's unfun. It has its place in survival games but when I'm exploring in an RPG I just don't want to bother with it.
everything you do in any game is a waste of time
And a good game is a game that makes me forget that I'm wasting time. Every time I encounter a mechanic like fast travel currency or weight limits is when my immersion breaks and I see the bones of the game and realize that I'm wasting time.
Sounds like a personal problem.
Developers can do whatever the frick they want and you're free to like these unfun mechanics, but I'm still going to mod them out. Seems you're the ones having a problem.
i don't give a shit what you do
just feel free to stop telling everyone about it
you attention seeking homosexual
You have a gay perspective where its the responsibility of every developer to cater to you, specifically. Are you young? I sure hope so because it's sad to be an adult "chiding" video games for not being what you want.
>if I can't carry every item and fast travel whenever I want, my immersion is broken
homosexual
He wants Dark Souls but won't say it out loud for some reason. Every fricking action game thread is full of these clowns
>why no universal dodge roll
>why no free stat allocation
>why no item descriptions
>why no le heckin comfy campfires
>this game doesn't have humanoid bosses that are just bigger versions of normals enemies? come on game designers
Its so fricking transparent and they dont' realize it because they just assume all action games are just derivatives of FROM games.
FROM games are very fun and kino but yes, it seems some people got into action games with those and can't fathom other games being different.
I bet those homies never touched Blade nor Rune, or Heretic II even.
I'm not a FROM hater, but I am a hater of brainless fanboys. What the frick is the point of playing other games if you're just gonna b***h its not like [other game].
used to be like that, made me quit DD when I first played it in 2017 because it wasn't as hard as souls games.
thank god I healed and now I'm able to appreciate games for what they are instead of criticizing them for not being what I want them to be.
Don't put up some fricking strawman, you're the one with Fromsoft living rentfree in his head.
I simply don't like Carry Weight or mechanics that will end up forcing going back and forth along stuff you've already cleared. I hate Carry Weight in Bethesda games, I hate it in games like BG3, I hate it in CDProject games. I hate it as much as weapon durability, and it's a good, good thing that this game doesn't have that pinnacle of unfun mechanics.
Sounds like a personal problem.
ok but why do you quote me? I wasn't talking to you
sounds like there's a specific game you're thinking of that you really like won't name
I despise stamina systems like souls and survival mechanics, but at the end of the day its not about what I like, its about what the mechanic brings to the table and how it designs the gameplay experience, stamina management works in souls and I like those games, I hate carry weight in Skyrim, but in DD it's actually meaningful and you have to plan your trip around that limit you have, at least in early game and that's what they're going for now with DD2, also the loss gauge in DD2, very much a survival mechanic, but it's gonna work because it will make longer travels feel harder and like you need to actually get some rest, as opposed to a boring ass rest meter from a survival game, i know this because in the original i wouldn't use all my curatives to heal past white health when it was more hardcore.
cringe
>less than 4 weeks to go
>Game's name is Dragon's Dogma

What did they mean by this?
Long shot but will we have a “Strider” vocation just like in DD1? I just like using both you know.
Unless one of the advanced vocations for Thief or Archer (or even just their hybrid) are like it then likely no, but Wayfarer would let you mix just daggers and bows to play like it anyway
>Wayfarer
I know what I said.
I'm wrong but I said it anyway.
>Wayfarer
Where is this leaked 11th vocation?
Ah yes, the throwing dagger vocation. Now we just need the explosive barrel thrower.
Vanillaware needs to stop fricking around and actually make Dragon's Crown 2

wat
?
can all homes/buildings be entered or is it still lagging behind 2006's oblivion
We just don't know
oblivion was lagging behind in combat, animations and AI in 2006 lol, and now BGS is lagging behind in every single department.
but from what ive seen in the TGS demo footage, some players entered a bunch of homes and places.
I still need to play the first one... good cuz my PC probably can't handle 1440p 60fps in DD2 at its current state.
Gonna play DD in 4k 60fps and later, when I get a new PC, try the second one out.
post specs
Game kinda looks like elden ring, and not dragons dogma.
I require the following to consider DD2 a complete game upon release:-
>Advanced Yellow (greatbow or crossbow)
>Advanced Green (dual axes?)
>Green/Yellow Hybrid (spear thrower/skirmisher?)
>Spear & Shield vocation (not sure what colour it would fit into)
>Dwarves & their Dwarf Fort/mine
>Two-handed axes for Warrior (totally fine if its the same greatsword moveset, just want the visuals for RP purposes)
>A comfy home/fort we can call our own with functional mechanics. Even better if we can upgrade/rebuild it (rebuild if it's a ruined fort etc)
>Zero content locked behind micro-transaction packs
I trust Itsuno to give me what I want.
My only real disappointments would be
>no more vocations than what we've seen
>a not-mindblowing ending
I'm confident we'll see more vocations, since Itsuno literally said there'd be more (I have no idea why this is an argument at all). The second part, well. We got some cool meta themes, about the nature of reincarnation, cycles and whatnot. I want to see that expanded on. I want the endless tower, I want to see more of the eternal wheel or whatever that we glimpsed in the first game.
I still believe in the Phersu.
I want to see more than just the immediate outskirts of the capitol city.
Its crazy how thats all theyve shown apart from the brief trickster clips in battahl.
That one griffin flying clip showed quite a bit of it
Havent been much on top of this game, did hey expanded on the pawn/online system?
Could somebody post examples of high level gameplay in DD1?
nah
>LBG
you did not hunt the monster
will the combat and boss design be better than elden ring? its too expensive for me to buy at release but maybe ill consider it in a couple months. i havent heard good things about the optimization either and if i cant run 1080p 60hz on my RTX 3060 i wont bother
Let me ask my time traveling grandma
ive seen clips from the combat showcases and stuff and honestly doesnt look like all that. too much artificial fluff vfx from pressing one button
It's no Elden Ring that's for sure
roll off a cliff tr00ns
yes
no need
>will the combat and boss design be better than elden ring?
Do you like dynamic combat with lots of moving parts, or do you want a single character iframe rolling through attacks and slowly swiping at a boss's ankles with the occasional canned animation from an ash of war?
what do you mean by dynamic combat? sell me on it please
no
do your own research you lazy homosexual
monsters react to you climbing them on specific spots, you can hit a cyclops hand to make them drop their weapon, if you kill a chimera's lion head, the goat takes over and gets new animations, you can grab and throw shit at enemies, harpies can grab you (you can use this to get to higher places you couldnt before) and your pawn can save you from a fall (rare), that kind of shit is what i would consider dynamic.
DD2 seems to have even more of this.
How often does any of that matter though in practice? Does it actually directly affect gameplay in an impactful manner or is it just little bits of flavor while you hack away at the enemy until it dies?
read anon read
>how often
literally every time. It's funny how when people get a taste of actual gameplay, their first reaction is disbelief. In what sense do you think a cyclops not having a weapon wouldn't impact how it fights?
>In what sense do you think a cyclops not having a weapon wouldn't impact how it fights?
Unless it actually affects how you have to respond to its actions, or gives you new openings to exploit, it doesn't actually impact anything.
NTA, but you're either an idiot or a shitposter...or both.
It does do those things. The way it fights completely changes. Its way more aggressive with a weapon. And sometimes they have armor which deflects physical attacks. It can be stripped with magic or climbing strikes, which is different from how you'd fight it normally. It matters. Lizards fight you with weapons in hand on 2 legs until you cut their tails, then they fight more like a feral beast. It matters. Fricking, even something minor like the basic dog enemy just being on fire for one of its variants changes how you approach it for certain jobs.
You can also strip it's helmet by climbing onto it's head and when it reaches to grab you it'll grab it's helmet instead if you move out of the way
Okay but what happens if I just ignore all of that and just hit them until they die instead?
They die really really slow and you start complaining about "single player MMOs" "health sponges" and "inventory management" while you play the game choking on healing items
depends on the enemy, most you can kill by blindly swinging, but it will take a while on the larger ones if you don't try to do anything but bap it to death.
This. One of the first newbie hurdle is gryphons because they fly around, outside the range of most attacks. Then you learn you can burn their wings off which grounds them, and I think turns off their ability to summon lightning? When you climb enemies it also forces them to do a bucking animation which creates an opening to attack them. Knocking out a lich while its casting a big spell forces it to the ground which is a big moment to wail on the fricking thing. You could even say the combat system is designed around these vulnerability moments. Most people are too stupid to trigger them regularly since they probably assume its not that big of a deal.
Every time yeah, you can now push and pull enemies to knock them off balance, make enemies stumble, fall and hit their heads, saw this happen with a griffin also, if you try to slash a cyclops feet they'll keep stomping you over and over, if you're far they'll throw their club at you and then pick it up, Ogres will chase females and you can use this to trick them into falling to their deaths, etc.
destroy bridges and traps to hurt and kill enemies, if you throw rocks from above gravity will accelerate it and cause more damage, some enemies are basically animals so they also hunt each other.
What is that lantern? Is it part of the world or placed there by us?
did the goblin fricking explode like its aqua teen hunger force? lmao.
that one is a great example of how dynamic it gets
i think it was part of the world already
Rains drenches enemies and you can freeze them with ice spells and lightning does more damage
enemies can fall and damage other enemies
I need a grappler vocation giant swinging enemies on each other goddammit.
I guess you'll be able to jedi force and throw enemies at each other at least
or maybe use trickster to make them attack each other
even if he doesnt and hes a shitposter, he gets BTFO, and i get to post cool webms that actually encourage some discussions about the game
you can also get damage from collisions after getting ragdolled
I personally think this is cool and all, but the Black person who asked about dynamic combat doesn't actually give a shit.
footage of a griffin stumbling and hitting its head.
>more location based bucking animations
do you think this means the Spinx will have a animation for your climbing her chest?
well she has one for climbing her ass like the griffin one, so hopefully.
I mean the devs must have thought of it.
That depend on you actually. If you play with the mechanics, those things will happen all the time. But if you just dodge & strike then very little will happen
thanks for the explanation anon. that sounds quite fun i hope theyve executed it right
I mean dynamic combat. You can tackle different encounters and enemies in different ways by mixing and matching your party and combining different moves.
I'd try it
The marketing for this game has genuinely been baffling, they showed the same exact shit over and over for like 9 months
Either they're keeping shit REALLY tightly under wraps or this is really all that the game is
I think its outlandish to think the marketing has shown literally everything.
Spoiling everything is the norm for Capcom, but they've shown so little for this game that it'd be hard to believe.
Still, this sort of thing only happens in hack n slash threads. Monhun, DMC, FF16, this game. Nobody was in RE4make threads concern posting like
>Bros I think they showed us all the guns... I'm really worried
Like, who gives a shit, how many or how little whatevers are in a game don't matter because the rest of the game is designed around it. This particular type of posting only happens in these threads. Maybe I got pattern brain but come on.
>Why do people care about the variety in combat options and enemies in an action game?
Gee I wonder
I care about the variety insofar that it exists. Having 10 vocations or 15 or 20 doesn't really matter at the end of the day, since I'm just going to land on like 5 or so I really like. 10 classes is already a hell of a lot more variety than most games so this argument is just a giant nothing burger. How many builds exist in something like a Souls game, or a Bethesda game? Its usually just melee with your chosen weapon family, a boring ranged weapon build, and "caster". thats a lot fricking less than 10.
>How many builds exist in something like a Souls game, or a Bethesda game?
And those games suck ass so I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make here.
And I'm not even worried about vocations, I think 9+warfarer is perfectly fine, I'm mostly concerned about the variety in enemies and environments and interesting combat situations, because they're just showing the same enemies and same encounters over and over.
There's entire biomes we haven't seen yet.
Like? I'm genuinely curious. So far I've just seen plains (there are goblins), forests (there are forest goblins) and deserts (there are desert goblins).
how am I supposed to tell you what I don't know? You just blow in from stupid town? The promos have only shown the area adjacent to the capitol city, we haven't seen shit about the beastren land, and from the looks of the map screen, all the demos so far have only been in like 1/5th the total map area.
You literally cannot hit a cyclops wearing armor. That's what the armor does, prevent you from hitting it. Your attacks bounce off and do nothing.
Unless its face is also armored, why would I care about stripping off some body armor if I can just shoot it in the eye or something?
Its face is sometimes armored. Also, you might not be playing a class that can shoot arrows. This is bad faith argument at this point, this is my last reply.
>Its face is sometimes armored.
Can you knock off its helmet with ranged attacks or do you have to strip it off the hard way?
>Also, you might not be playing a class that can shoot arrows.
Why would I play a class without ranged options if the game apparently punishes you for not having ranged attacks?
armored cyclopes have helms
unarmored do not
lightning dazes them into a stunlock, which is annoying if your pawns zap them before their helms are knocked off of them.
It's basically a remake of DD1, the version itsuno wanted.
absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, even in the IGN footage you can see things that were completely not talked about, like leapworms and the fact that the game has portcrystals in some places other than the big city by default.
You're right, but I guess I'm too used to the marketing of games like MH that basically spoil everything but the final boss ahead of release.
Itsuno likes his surprises more than the rest of capcom.
You say that but DMC5 was fully spoiled too except for Nero's DT. Itsuno isn't in charge of marketing.
I cancelled my pre order when I saw black people in it.
>not a new IP
I'm sure you did
>rehired Mason’s JP actor to voice Brant
Kinda based really
Hoping for some knightly fashion kino
The reason why they haven't spoiled everything about the game, is that Itsuno personally taught the marketing team about the fear of death.
I mean it's pretty much on par with DMCV. Nobody knew shit about the game until it got a console demo and released.
>Arisen: Cat archer wirh huge furry dick
>Pawn: Max height Amazonian warrior in bikini armour
Cannot wait
>Arisen: Cat thief with smaller than average dick
>Pawn: Cat fighter with larger than average dick
They're best friends.
Sounds kinda cute ngl
Arisen: Middle aged man magick user (all the magick vocations)
Pawn: Giant warrior beastren
we are getting another of those Capcom TV shits on the 29

Is there ever anything interesting on these or is it just a recap?
it's new footage, at least.
Nice
>and now for the dragons dogma 2 demo
terrain physics simulation and momentum
distance based attacks
more of this
It's genuinely sad people out there are so used to button mash combat they can't conceive that other games might be different.
Free and dynamic combat systems will always fall victims of misunderstanding and non criticism based on people who never care to try things out, so they claim they don't exist and say the game is barebones.
The only way to avoid being called a button masher is to completely direct the combat and experience and punish you for anything else, but this kills the freedom in the game.
I dont remember it ever being talked about, was that in the lore books?
bridge destruction + max bullying
anyone got the video of the saurian dodging?
brine feeding mechanics
I forget, does the brine always exist or just when a dragon is around? Why would anyone go sailing with this thing around? And I guess it leaves fish alone.
I think the guard near the beach in Cassardis mentions the existence of it immediately after the dragon attack.
