>>983641 No it's not, and no I'm not. Elden Ring is too poorly structured compared to the previous games, I understand you being redundant is to deflect from this, but the only thing accepting these changes does is making the future games worse than they already are now. I hope you understand what you're doing here.

>>983570 >the souls formula I don't give a shit about that

Why the hell did the DD2 thread devolve into some fag or two bitching about Elden Ring when there's a souls thread RIGHT THERE? >>982682 Damn shame. I've heard theories that Capcom fucked this game like they did the first one so they can they can have an excuse to send Itsuno back to the DMC mines and it's looking more and more like that's the case. >I wonder what good a DLC/Expansion might do for DD2. Whether it would make the whole game better or just be more of the same. The game's map does seem it is designed to be added on to or at least they had things in mind for the worldspace you can't get to but didn't/couldn't implement in the final game. I would not be surprised if Capcom ripped out content from the base game just to sell it back to you for like $30 USD at the cheapest, it would be on-brand for them at this point. Sadly, it might end up being the best thing about the game, even if it turns out to be just a reskinned Bitterblack Isle.

DD2 is a total fucking mess and is given way too much slack for things other games would be hung for. This game manages to be several steps backwards compared to the original DD. They had 10 years to do this right and fucked it up.

>>984138 B-but Itsuno told me this was his dream game!

>>984155 He was forced into saying that most likely.

You've got till the end of the month to fill out this survey and tell Capcom you hated >tranny shit in character creation >lack of female animations >160cm minimum height >skill limits >denuvo and engima protector making game run like shit >lack of layered armor >$70 >microtransactions >tranny as "official pawn" You have to say you bought and played it, but just say you refunded it. https://jp.research .net/r/P_DD2?lang=en

>>984294 >I-it wasn't my fault >They made me do it I hope his next project is a failure and he is forced into retirement. >>1003270 Done. I've wasted 5 minutes and all i got was this stupid wallpaper

A whole lot of nothing...DD2 was some experiment for MonHunt Wild.

>>1007628 I'm thankful for DD2 it has convinced me to never buy another Capcom game.

>blackpill is active >suddenly the DD2 thread is active again to shit on capcom Oh my fuck is blackpill the crapcom guy too

>>1007632 This and the fucking Dead Rising living dead corpse rape along with their Fighting Collection censorship made it quite fucking easy to tell them to fuck off. >>1007635 Good thing your retarded paranoia can't stop DD2 from being a fucking disappointment and a halfassed game that Capcom allowed to placate Itsuno.

>>1007635 That...makes an awfull lot of sense actually, specially if you recall that this all started with the DmC2 faggot sperging out jsut to annoy mark.

>>1007635 >>1007638 Are you trying to say anyone who hates modern Capcom is blackpillfag?

>>1007677 No, just a very particular one.

>>1007635 remember when there was a desperate attempt to control the narrative around this game prior to release by deleting the posts of anyone pointing to all the indicators that it was going to be shit in order to preserve the hype train? its almost like your boogeymen are just the streisand effect incarnate that you manifest yourself by trying to dictate what is and isn't allowed to be said and they wouldn't exist at all if you weren't such a little bitch.

>>1007677 The thread was dead until a very recent niggerpill spamming spree on the board, so it's a pretty logical assumption that he bumped this thread.

>>1007628 If you mean Dragon's Dogma 2 being a no show in Gamescom while the animations in Monster Hunter Wilds are eerily similar to some vocations from DD2, then yes, it was all a fucking joke.

>>953404 DRAGONS DOGMA 2 IS SAVED!!!

>>1009425 The announcement is that the Dragon's Dogma Guy is being added to Smash Ultimate. Soccerguy lied again. Oh, and an anime is being announced, with a loli and a few cute girls as part of the main cast. By the end of the year, it'll be heralded as "actually a hidden gem" and "it was just the performance issues that made it bad."

DD2 is so poorly optimised that it still can't reach 60fps consistently on a PS5 Pro. While other games have a "why not both?" approach to Quality/Performance modes on PS5 Pro, Dragons Dogma 2 is still neither. On top of that, PSSR introduced a lot of artifacting. https://archive.md/5j2wK

>>1009425 Unless it's a lolisho expansion then it still isn't saved.

>>1009444 We already have a DD anime, it was kinda shitty.

>>1038848 >>1038851 >>1009444 I'm neutral about lolishotas, but I'm all for principles and letting players make whatever they want. I haven't even see spoilers of the game yet because I still think I might buy it in the future because I'm a fool and think that they will fix their shit.

DD2 is just a trash remake of the original. you'd think that with the time and money at hand they would improve upon the original and make something mind blowing. instead they made half cooked trash that was objectively worse than the original (which was already butchered bad enough) in every conceivable way. Capcom cannot be trusted with fucking anything.

>>1038983 It's not completely worse than the original. It has better graphical fidelity, and that's basically it. Everything else is a downgrade though. I think the strangest decision was to not only get rid of hitstop, but invert it. I'd have to dig through my DD2 recordings for an example, but the enemy gets stopped for a single frame upon taking any hit while you don't get stopped by anything. I only noticed it because a drake attacked the big human town and was getting pelted by arrows from 20 guards, so he was moving at half speed and constantly flinching. Capcom also significantly reduced hitstop effects in the new monster hunter game. makes me wonder if it's some Exec or other high ranking guy pushing for it. It's oddly antithetical to typical action game design and makes most hits feel wimpy.

>>1007635 Modern crapcom is shit and never made anything good. I will rejoice when the company goes bankrupt, with the bonus of watching the FGC die.

>>1039006 As much as I hate the FGC for sanding all the edge off of most FG locals and shit, it'll take more than Street Fighter dying to kill it. You'd have to kill Arcsys, Bamco, and Nintendo (or at least kill the divisions of the latter two handling Smash Bros, Tekken, and the DBZ fightans). Also, Monster Hunter Rise was pretty good. Though perhaps World was too successful, seeing as the music in DD2 is basically just bargain bin Monster Hunter World music for the most part.

The denuvoless dev-build of DD2 was leaked. It obviously doesn't have any of the later performance patches, so I'm afraid my mid-range PC won't be able to run it well, but I guess I'll have to try. https://fitgirl-repacks.site/dragons-dogma-2/

>>1041232 Denuvoless dev-build could help crackers crack denuvo build maybe?

>>1041244 In what way?

>>1041244 I don't think anyone's going to bother with cracking DD2 at this point. Denuvo is a bitch and the game didn't live up to the "hype". Capcom will remove denuvo after 1-2 years of release, anyway, unless they've stopped that tradition while I wasn't looking.

>>1041232 Something very similar happened with DD:DA's PC port, too. Odd it happened twice. But this time I don't really care, DD2 sounds worse than DD:DA in most ways. Maybe in a year or two when the expansion is out they'll fix a lot like DA did, but until then the game is a very low priority on my backlog.

>>1009444 Nice digits, lad. As for the hidden gem thing. I've seen plenty of people defend the game and say it's actually good when you look past the performance and money-grabbing DLC, including people in this very thread. I notice that most of the people that think this way either didn't play DD:DA or played it years ago. If you go straight from one to the other or have DD:DA fresh in your memory you'll notice the downgrade and shit-ness much more easily since you have a direct comparison. People might start calling it a hidden gem in several years, or more likely a rough diamond, especially with the pool of releases having more low-quality games in them and normalfaggots eating up lower-quality games over actual quality releases, but the original will always be there to shadow over it. It's not even a case of Dark Souls 2 where it's changes a lot but there's improvements in there to like such as spell variety and moveset variety (to a point that some consider it better than the original, like myself), it's just a fucking downgrade for most of the classes. And the new classes are generally shit except Wayfarer (which you use to get actually acceptable fashion and deal with terrible stats as a consequence). I don't think DD2 will ever achieve the same level of cult classic/hidden gem that DD:DA has. >>1041335 I don't think the game is getting an expansion. Itsuno fucked off and Capcom is in full monster hunter mode at the moment, so I think DD2 is just abandoned.

>>1041371 Kento Kinoshita did Dark Arisen, not Itsuno. He's not necessary for an expansion.

>>1041373 I forgot Itsuno didn't work on the expasion. Still, I think this game was just used as a training ground for Monster Hunter Devs and as an open-world tech demo for the RE Engine. From which Capcom learned basically nothing going on how ass MH:Wilds ran, but still. I wouldn't expect any word of an expansion until after MH:Wilds releases, at earliest. If any word of an expansion at all. I know there was the credible leaks but I think that might've had the requirement of the game selling well enough first and not being hated by a good chunk of those who played it. Hype can sell a game, but you need a good game to sell an expansion, go look at Tales of Arise for that in practice, where the game sold the most on the Tales name alone, but the game was so shit that the God of Soy ripoff DLC sold incredibly poorly because the Tales fans weren't there anymore to buy it and the normalfaggots had long fucked off. Lots of people aren't even aware that game had a DLC, even.
