I put over 2600 combined hours between Xbox360, Ps4, and Steam on Dragons Dogma 1. My main gripe with DD2 is removing the high amount of customization we had with gear. I know a lot of people didn't like dealing with pants, gloves, and shirts, but what we got was not a good replacement. Also removing vocations from the first game and not at least giving their spells to another vocation was upsetting coming from someone who adored Mystic Knight, and loved using Abyssal Anguish and Great Cannon. My experience so far with DD2 (200 hours) is its a phenomenal game but imo was a step down from DD1. I could go further into it but I've already written a small essay.

100% agree. I love DD2 but Dark Arisen feels much better. Like if you compare them I think DA does everything better minus straight up combat. We need crazy hard fights. Like the first Condemned Titan (first boss I think?) in Dark Arisen was vastly harder than anything in DD2.

Apparently like 350 or so people credited with working on it. While other capcom games like street fight and resident evil have over 1000 credited. sometimes 1500+.

The pawn A.I. in DD1 is actually more complicated than in DD2, they simplified and dumbed it down. You could "fine-tune" your pawn to your liking, with the caveat that the inclination was changing all the time and you had to "re-adjust" it from time to time. (But you don't get anything explained how it works until you have to research it because you had run into a problem). And funny enough i get frustrated with my pawns in DD2 at times because their A.I. feels so unflexible. Why do I have to pick up all the stuff only because their Character doesn't specify it for them? Stuff like that. I kind of agree that the music is so much less memorable than in the first game, it's kind of sad. I had so many memorable moments in DD2 but I can't remember the music playing at those moment. :( It's also a shift of tone, DD2 being a more "serious" fantasy world while DD1 leanend more into Berserk fantasy world. I still miss "Into Free ~ Dangan". The story is...simple. Nothing I hadn't read before somewhere. It's sad but i kind of expected that. I feel like there are a lot of missed opportunities filling out the quests, like the nameless village for examples had a lot of potential. Maybe I just had a different vision of the game than the creators, but that's fine. The main focus is on the combat and creating your own story and that works fine. Getting gangb* by a minotaur, a griffin, some harpies and some wolves? Can only happen in this game. Now go Arisen and listen to "Into Free-Dangan" to understand this madness!

@princesszelda8577 2 ай бұрын

im glad im not the only one who noticed the shift in tone. it became more like a high fantasy, lord of the rings tone which fucking sucks (my opinion) its also because added elves and beastrens. DD1 with the berserk feel with realistic medieval dark fantasy tone and vibe was so much better where everyone was human and they should've just stuck with that. im so tired of having different race of humanoids in games. i just want pure, classic, raw humans who wield swords and realistic medieval armors FFS. i also hate how you cant make lolis anymore, they took that away. in DD1 you can have a cute loli pawn whos like 3 feet tall wearing panties and rocking a greatsword. that was one of the best things about the game. all in all, DD2 is a downgrade in my book for sure.

I'm at just over 100 hours in DD2 and my biggest complaints are the pawns falling off edges and also the amount of monsters you encounter especially in Battahl. I shouldn't have to fight a griffin every single time I'm leaving Bak'battahl because the game spawns one to circle the small area every single day and it hones in on you inevitably. Good luck taking the lift stations if it's alive btw. Also the path from the city to the oracle isn't that far but takes me a full in-game day if I fight everything that ambushes me. I've done it 3 times now and each time I consistently fight the griffin from earlier, an ogre and a golem, at least 3 packs of hobgoblins, 3-4 wolf packs, and 2-3 bandit packs not to mention almost constant harpies. It becomes annoying. Idk if this problem is just me or if others feels the same but I hope someone at least makes a mod that tries to turn it down.

there’s a lot of background context to this you can read about online but basically Japan just couldn’t develop open world games, they were not good at it or had the tech/talent to do it.

Western devs were doing them for a very very long time and had it locked down by Skyrims release.

Garbage story. Bad Menus/Inventory. Uninspiring loot/itemization (I have no idea how Cohh thinks its good, its incredibly bare bones). Combat ok, but is only fun when you fight the larger enemies. Open world exploration is.. ok, but bogged down by a horrible camera and pointless enemies every 5 feet (the same enemy types over and over as well). Music is good. Pawns are cool. Character customization is absolutely amazing, probably the greatest character creator of all time. Overall, I think the game is held back by a multitude of things, that completely prevent me from actually having fun with the game. Ultimately I shelved it after about 10 hours of gameplay.

I think people should absolutely play dragon's dogma 1, the Dark arisen expansion is the best part of dragon's dogma imo. I just love how dark, oppressive and generally hard it was and i played it on hard mode too so it was a memorable experience. I really want to know why DD2 didn't have better overworld dungeons like the temple in DD1, no cool large scale dungeons. The dragon fight was also worse imo, i think its a downgrade from gregori. Why was the hydra and cockatrice left out? There are fewer skills than you had in DD1(y no mystic knight). The armor system is a downgrade imo and hampers fashion. The story of DD1 was a bit rough but dd2 doesn't tell it better. All and all, DD2 feels like a missed opportunity like dd1 was. They were so close to making the perfect game but.. they didn't sadly. I'd be annoyed if they saved it all for a future expansion or dlc but i do hope they somehow address the issues.

In terms of gameplay depth, you will be disappointed if nothing changes with DD2 DLC. DD1 DA has more depth in terms of armor, magic, skills, gameplay, story, enemy variants (at least for now).

It needs all of the features that were added in Dark Arisen. - All Arisen and Pawns de-leveled to 100 with 200 or 250 being the new cap. - Speedrun mode: Portcrystals stay in place on NG+. Starting A Speedrun creates a save state that upon completing, nothing is lost or gained in the actual save file. Beating the true ending of the game in under an hour gets you an Eternal Ferrystone. - UR-Dragon returns! Immune to the insta-kill arrow and grows stronger everytime it's slain. - Some sort of Bitterblack Isle type end game.

The story was way too short and kinda just jumped the shark. The entire time in Vernworth felt like it was leading up to something and then Disa is just never mentioned again after the coronation. The false arisen is shown in 2 cutscenes and if you showed me a picture of him, I wouldn't be able to recognise him.

Here is why I was not having fun with Dragon's Dogma II: My pawns can't seem to traverse... anything. There are broken bridges all over the world and you can very easily make the jump. 1 of your 3 pawns usually falls in. You lose them AND their inventory. This happened to me well over 10 times within a single play session. It lead to situations where I got curious what might be over there, proceed to realize I have stuff on my pawns, and be discouraged from checking it out because I'm conditioned to think I'll lose my stuff. I felt so discouraged from exploring, I literally just quit from boredom, because it is all the game has to offer that is remotely interesting. On top of this, the combat is not engaging to me at all and after a few hours the big monsters showing up stopped feeling like a crazy moment and more like clockwork happening in the background to force it to happen. I can see the potential of DD2, but I really don't think there is anything actually special in it.

So the Pawn AI to me, still seems to need work in areas, sometimes it confuses me why a pawn or npc is running in circles or STUCK behind a box for extended periods of time!

Stellar Blade is the only competition I see so far and I give less weight to console exclusives but damn that demo was good. I can't wait for some DLC content and hope it get's Monster Hunter type support.

wdym nothing surpasses it lmfao. rebirth shits on dd2 in terms of scope, characters, story, visuals, value, etc. only thing in dd2 thats better is the combat and that's not to say ff7's combat is bad, it is great in its own right.
