As someone who has never played Dragon’s Dogma, but loves Dark Souls, but is “meh” on Monster Hunter, but loves Shadow of the Colossus, but isn’t generally a fan of JRPGs, do you think I would enjoy this? Those are all the things it seems similar to.
I fit into most of those “categories” you just listed except I do like some jpgs, that aside this is nothing like a jrpg. The first is like a western RPG just made by a Japanese developer and is a fucking great game. I expect this to be equally good.
I haven’t watched the linked video but have seen a bit of gameplay and it seems like it is more of the same, I definitely think you would enjoy it!
The first one is still great, it has its quirks where it is a bit older now but I highly recommend pirating it (fuck capcoms retroactive drm) and giving it a go to get a feel for the kind of game this is going to be whilst you wait for it :D
I haven’t actually tried, I just knew they were retroactively adding it to games and DD is a pretty popular one so presumed they would’ve added it to that as well. So maybe they haven’t I can’t confirm :)
The first game goes on sale pretty often (it’s about $5 right now on Steam and GOG) so you could also try the first game if you’re interested enough (on PC).
Probably. I can’t imagine they will fuck up dd2 based on dark arisen and ddon.
Somehow they made a game with the most generic fantasy creatures quite good. The original and the now dead dd online both had their share of jank, but probably my favourite monster climbing mechanics which I still think are better than any mh game I have tried, and hands down the most enjoyable and rewarding spell casting mechanic, especially the ddon version. The quest handling is more traditional than fromsoft’s figure it out yourself approach and I don’t remember anything particularly bad about it. A lot of the dungeons and caves in ddon were just cut and paste segments that you start to recognize after a while, but I didn’t find it bothered me really. Rather than that I expect 2 will have more unique and purpose built environments.
Waiting for the reviews on this one. The hard stance against fast travel turns me off. I only have so many hours in the day and slogging for 30 minutes to an hour between locations does not sound fun.
I love the combat from the first one though. Jumping on the bosses just felt bad ass.
I have avoided the trailers for spoilers reasons but the first game has a fast travel component it’s just not standards. There is teleport stone at the main city which you can go back to and you can place(?) A couple in other places. Generally when you have to travel for main quests between places it’s as part of the main quest.
I do respect your stance though obviously if a game is directed in a way that you don’t vibe with there’s no reason to force yourself to play it
I’ve been enjoying it on Bazzite OS. When it first launched it took some tinkering to get it running stable with no black screen flickering. After a few hot fixes it started again no matter what I did until I switched to X11 instead of Wayland. Now it runs amazing. The gameplay is rough in areas but what they have so far is great. I’m looking forward to whatever UI and game mechanic improvements they introduce.
I’m really enjoying it! It has some skyrim vibes to it and the building mechanic is what I’ve been craving for so long.
One thing I don’t like is the gated progression - you need to upgrade your altar to make areas covered in “deadly shroud” turn into normal shroud and become passable. Personally I’d remove that - I want to get my ass kicked by a level 30 enemy when I’m level 5, or to sneak around them to get to the only chest that’s away from enemy routes, there is no need to put an insta death barrier before the higher level areas
The game came out of the blue for me, but I picked it up yesterday. The singleplayer experience so far is pretty nice. It’s not too difficult so far, the story is a bit basic but acceptable, and so far it runs great. I haven’t experienced any bugs so far either. I did see in the reviews that the multiplayer needs some balancing/tweaking though.
I put a couple hours into the demo a few weeks back! Really enjoyed it! I tried every weapon and tower available and did a few different runs, and liked how different they all felt. Had some feedback, which I think I gave in Steam community 👍
It looks pretty good and I’ll most definitely try it once it’s out of early access. It kind of feels like the Renaissance of survival games or something. Especially since Blizzard just axed theirs. They’re the type of company who would completely stumble and break an ankle over a trend like this one.
Been tracking this game for months and months, unfortunately they released after Palworld which is taking the spotlight. I will be picking it up eventually but not in a rush until my Palworld fix is satisfied :)
They honestly could not have picked a worse release window.
In a lot of ways, Enshrouded appeals to me. Valheim with more action RPG/MMO elements is an obvious hit to my interests, but I can’t justify dropping $40 CAD so closely to paying roughly the same price for PalWorld, which admittedly had a much more different and interesting concept.
I’m sure I’ll hop on board at some point, but this just wasn’t the time.
Agree, for a different reason. I did pick up Enshrouded, even knowing that Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth drops in a few days. I think I spent 60 or 80 hours on the previous game (Yakuza: Like a Dragon), but that’s JRPGs for you, especially when you add in the copious minigames the series is famous for.
Will probably timeshare, as Yakuza’s a single player game.
I played it for hours last night, it’s like botw, vrising, soulslike, valheim. It’s very fun, but a bit tedious at least at the stage I’m at. If you’re on Linux gotta use the latest GE or it may crash your DE.
