kek when this was more popular on Ganker we had anons crying because their soulmate was a fat old man or they didn't understand why their pawns were doing stupid shit. They were upset that shit WASN'T properly explained. Times change.
I played it. For some 3 hours. I don't like obvious shit tips being shoved in my face. I don't like moronic pawns talking stupid shit. The combat is over the top and anime. The world makes no sense and feels to gamey.
It's typical ARPG shit that doesn't care for worldbuilding and making a good narrative,
it's fun but clearly flawed. Unfinished, not enough enemy variation, the world is too small and static with no sandboxy elements like other open world games released around the same time like TES.
I've beat the game a couple times and still haven't touched the expansion area beyond the start of it because by the time I've beat the main game storyline I'm just bored of it. With that said, almost all the issues boil down to the development time being severely cut, so I still have high hopes for the sequel.
the expansion turns it into a dungeon crawler with some randomization instead of a story quest you're going through. the expansion is amazing if you like the gameplay and want to just keep playing, like me. The gameplay is so solid for me and I enjoy it so much I can run through BBI for hundreds of hours just for the combat
Basically at the time I was CRAVING a classic style Dungeon and Dragon's medieval fantasy but with fun action game combat and literally every western role playing game was failing me HARD. Dragon Age 2 not only had weird shitty edgy designs but the gameplay was total ASS. Dragon's Dogma stepped up and it was everything I could've ever wanted out the Dragon Age or Skyrim or any other WRPG that tried but failed at it's combat. I played it for hours and it never needed to be anything more than a generic fantasy romp where you kill giant monsters...
And then I got to the end and it absolutely went from being generic to exceeding my expectations and blowing my goddamn mind
Basically this game cater to me but also went above and beyond what was expected of it, I fricking kneel Itsuno
>first build I get to Grigori >it's an assassin under levelled with a shit team >realise I'm not going to win at any rate >restart the game again on hard again >mystic knight is very funny >got to level 50 in 10 hours rather than 30
Why did I choose assassin it's like a paper bag, mystic knight makes me want to do a blue run or a magick archer.
I played a Mystic Knight on my PS3 version of DD:DA way back when and remember getting pwned in BBI. Made a Magick Archer later on PC replay and absolutely shit all over BBI. That’s one fun ass build.
mystik knight is my favorite but assassin is unironically OP. They have an infinite duration counter attack that counters everything in the game. literally everything, even ranged attacks and projectiles, and it gives you I-frames during it so you take no damage, and it's infinite duration. you can activate the counter attack and put your controller down until you're attacked.
The enemies take way too long to kill, even with fully upgraded weapons. When I knew I was getting near the end I was just running by everything because the fights last 10+ minutes and it wears you down and feels like padding
you were underleveled/under geared. the way combat works in this game, if your attack is below their defense you do 1 damage every hit. the difference between a high level character with good gear vs an underlevel character with bad gears attack is in the hundreds, something as simple as getting a new sword will be the difference between doing 1 damage per attack or doing 500 damage per attack. I can tell just from reading this you were under geared and doing 1 damage per attack on everything where you were
>over the top.
So I should check this game out then. I see it posted everywhere but the boxart looked like it was just a run of the mill "fantasy" RPG, but I think I'll actually look into it. Is this on PC?
>Handholdy
How? The game barely even has a tutorial and lets you start on hard mode which will probably lead to you dying many times as a new player even to basic enemies
>Generic
Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. DD is insanely unique which is part of the problem. DD fans desperately wish there were more games like it but there aren't
>Over the top
Uh yeah this is part of what makes it so fun I guess this bothers you if you're extremely autistic about """realism""" in fantasy

It's a vanilla fantasy setting that doesn't undermine its serious elements with self-referential humor about how weird it is, nor does it overcompensate its fantastical elements with extreme GoT-esque grittiness to make you take it seriously. This is surprisingly rare in modern media, and especially Western-made fantasy. >over the top.
Many fun combat systems are at least a little over the top. Considering this was made by DMC5's director, it's downright restrained by comparison.

I don't know how you did it but you absolutely nailed that explanation of why I like Dragon's Dogma so much
>over the top.
You're right. It should be more like The Last of Us. Who needs fun in video games, anyways?

homie you never left the tutorial lmao
killing the manticore does not take three hours you fricking moron, eat shit and die
Lmao homosexual that part isn't the tutorial such a fricking homosexual
That's just the intro
They like it because it's "Ganker approved". Social gamers in other words. They don't judge things themselves, they simply follow crowds.
can't frick the dragon
0/10
>and over the top
exactly
it came out at the beginning of the souls sequels and it felt like a breath of fresh air with its combat
alot of it comes down to nostalgia but it filled a niche no other game has been able to
Meme game like MGR etc.
Sub-ethnics on Ganker always have to pick 1 or 2 every little bit so they can feel "right" when posting about a game.

There's like 5 quests you can frick up if you don't interpret the games baroque demands correctly

AHHHHH I WANT NEWS ON 2 BROS
WHERE IS IT
Soon, I hope
It's been so long
Its not often that Ganker is right
Liking Dragons Dogma is one of those rare times
of all the things the generic world, story and everything annoy me the most. I've rarely played a game with less personality.
