Guys what if Itsuno makes a not-DinoCrisisRemake as a fundraiser test project for his new independent studio and then uses the proceeds to fund not-DragonsDogma3? Just to really stick it to Capcom before they fail because everything else they put out has DEI forced into it.

>>1008122 When you mean one and not many, it's spelled with "a."

>>1008133 >>1008123 >>1007985 Suffering must have meaning.

Now that this has all transpired and both hype and hate has died down, I'm going to finally ask why the hell Dragon's Dogma 2 was like that? It's not even bad but it repeats basically every mistake the original game made. I can't imagine it was the game Itsuno wanted to make, it doesn't even have most of the stuff DD:DA was intended to have. What was the point of it, 12 years for an updated retread of a flawed cult classic? DD2 can't have been his dream game vision he worked towards for 25 years, so I repeat: why the hell Dragon's Dogma 2 was like that?

>>1008292 yup, it feels like there was no overall improvement from dd1, Same good ideas but poor/incomplete execution, world still feels empty, lore is not explained one bit infact its made even more obscure and confusing. They improved combat but fucked with music. Improved enemy AI but fucked with enemy variety. NPCs are even more NPC here without a cutie brown waifu. One step forwards, another step backwards.

>>1008292 Some things better, like the heavier, fluid gameplay with push and mount mechanics, but way too many things are actually worse in comparison to DD1, which is inexcusable because as you well said, it's been 12 years and the man has has a million different venues of criticism and experience to improve on, but I'll just narrow it down to these 3 possibilities for why, in effect, it came out worse: 1) Money 2) Japanese are notorious for refusing to change and update themselves, so maybe Itsuno did exactly that for DD1 3) Money. And maybe quite a lot incompetence. If it were just money, it could be chalked to rushed deliveries and other shit, but seeing the render distance issue and the NPC interaction performance, I'll go with incompetence, both from higher ups and from programmers.

>>1008325 >A quiet life is more important than anything. And healthier too. And how are you going to pay for that?

>>1008334 Its luciano, the huemonkey doesn't even pay for shit in his favela.

>>1008292 There's a good chance Capcom execs sabotaged it just like they did the first game, they just wanted Itsuno to be their DMC piggy which why I'm guessing he decided to leave.

>>1008334 With a currency that's not a fiat petrodollar. A currency is only worth as much as the economical workings it's from. Purchasing power, cost of living, and a strong culture are more important than having the tallest building in the world.

>>1008350 >Purchasing power, cost of living, and a strong culture are more important than having the tallest building in the world. Have fun telling that to the IRS.

>>1008350 Yeah thats all very pretty and all, but what about the here and now?

>>1008461 You didnt answer my question.

>>1008461 >Self-sustainability. Money is not required for a good life. Where and how are you going to get anything to live that self-sustainable life? How are you going to remain "self-sustainable"?

>>1008471 Self-sustainability is just a meme. I bet even most homesteaders go to the nearest grocery store once in a while.

>>1008516 SAY IT TO HIS FUCKING FACE

>>1008516 Spoken like someone who isn't posting with a computer made from self-sustaining home-grown silicon.

>>1008530 Anon can self-sustain himself in prison when the IRS comes.

>>1008519 Can you believe this mistery meat cia nigger is a positive role model for men?

>>1008292 >What was the point of it, 12 years for an updated retread of a flawed cult classic? Where does this idea that because a fuckton of time passed between one game and the other, the devs have been planning on doing it for all that time? Kys

>>1007828 They not even in the same genre? What is he talking about >>1008292 A theory I saw floated around is they used the game to develop tech for Monster Hunter Wilds, a lot of the same animations and mechanics are showing up in it. Why else would Capcom allow something that isn't fucking Monster Hunter?

Capcom gets more shit than they deserve here.

>>1009323 They don't get enough honestly

>>1009323 They deserve all the shit people throw at them and then some.

>>1009323 A lot of it comes from one guy honestly, you can usually tell him because he posts the same images

>>1009335 >it's one guy

>>1009335 I won't buy your games.

>>1009323 They can stop getting shit once we get a Roll game and the mooncunny game comes out.

>>1009323 I'll admit they're better than they were in 7th gen but they need to stop fucking around with the gay shit.

>>1009404 They get more money from it as long as you keep buying it, prease understandu.

>>1009323 >>1009335 >>1009391 Does no one remember that Capcom has experienced a constant rotation of developers since the 1980's? Or the fact that the only reason the company even exists is because a fucking strip mahjong game outsold Ghouls 'n Ghosts and saved the company: https://archive.ph/d4onx

>>1009421 I thought that was why people jerked off the employees since the company was always a revolving door. I think the only beeg japanese company that hasn't tried chasing employees away is ironically Nintendo.

>>1009434 >I think the only beeg japanese company that hasn't tried chasing employees away is ironically Nintendo. Gunpei Yokoi

>>1009434 I bet Yamauchi turned into a car and hit him himself, yakuza bastard.

>>1009421 >By guys who knew their audience >They knew sex sells <Not marxist faggots who shit themselves in their pants when the real deal of coding and design comes into play It's worth mentioning Street Fighter would've been another hit and miss if it wasn't for waifus who can beat the shit out male adults twice their size and retain their femininity, same thing with Resident Evil and so on and forward.
