The hype is dead, what's the verdict?
Good
Pretty bland.
It was pretty good, could have been GOAT if they had more time to make a bigger world.
Good.
Not the "BEST GAME FOREVER EEEEVEEER" game /v/ claimed it to be, but it still was good.
I still haven't touched bitterblack island yet.

Masterwork.

Here's your problem.Nah, it's still not the best game ever, but BBI is GOAT

Good game, very fun.
Shame there's not an easy way to have multiple saves though. Would've loved to do a full blue run.
>>332436084
You can Play it.
>>332436084
It's definitely worth a buy. Especially on PC because I bet you can fix your stats so you don't have to worry about that 100 levels of sorcerer bullshit.
>>332436084
This game has fucking ruined my life. Nothing will ever hit that perfect blend of action, adventure, and memery for me. Instead of vidya my nights are now spent fruitlessly searching up games like Dragon's Dogma, but I know it's all for nothing, because that's the same thing I was doing all those years before it came out for PC.
It was fucking great but sadly after 200 hours i've done everything and won't probably return to it in quite a while.
Great ride regardless.
>>332438556
Console peasant here. I did that on vanilla, then put in another god knows how many hours on DA. You'll be back.
This is not a bad game my any means, but outright saying that it's one of the best games of the market is also a false statement.
This game reeks of cut content and you can see it almost anywhere you go. Starting with cutting shit off enemies - you start the game, in tutorial you see a chimera, you climb it, you cut the fucking tail off, you cripple the goats head, and you HOPE FOR FUCKING MORE OF THAT. And after playing the game more you realize that only this, and cutting tails off saurians can count as crippling enemies, unless you count destroying cyclopses tusks as that, too. This is just plain disappointing, especially when playing as a warrior (which is the worst fucking class) you'd expect to cut more stuff off enemies with your huge ass sword you carry on your back like an animeme character.
Then it goes to locations, or cities. Gran Soren only feels good when there's a huge fucking hole in it, otherwise the city feels goddamn dead. Barely any npcs, just a few shops, and annoying stairs you have to run up and down once in a while. Literally one city and one fishing village, this really feels cut out.
Then it comes to enemies. For the base game, most of the time you'll just encounter bandits and wolves who hunt in packs, optionally skeletons and saurians in "MANY DIFFERENT FORMS" even though they still fall to the same category and can be crippled in their tails.
Classes aren't so bad but some are too OP compared to others, as I mentioned before Warrior plainly and openly sucks and only a masochist will play him to the end. I had the unpleasant experience of going as warrior for about 40lvls thinking it would one moment GET GOOD but it never did, switching to Strider/Assassin feels so much more mobile and damage is also better.
Which also connects with another aspect of the game - CLIMBING.
>>332437737
Why does the sword act like Counter-Strike back in the modem era?
It really is unintuitive at times, especially on UR-Dragon. If you climbed that motherfucker you know that camera can randomly move in shitty directions or a wing suddenly cuts off your sight and you don't know where you're climbing or where you are. Sometimes the controls of it also don't really respond to what you want to do meaning you're climbing in a completely different direction than you wanted to climb, draining your stamina and optionally getting you hurt.
BBI is probably the best aspect of the game and that says something about the base game itself - it's just shit when it comes to pacing, but plot itself is nothing spectacular in any means either.
Also the forced relationship that goes literally nowhere besides having someone in your house that you can talk to but do absolutely NOTHING with feels like cut content, too.
Forgot to mention about combat when it comes to bosses - most of it just boils down to climbing onto a boss and slashing their weak spot (usually a heart), or shooting at it from afar. Not really many approaches to bosses in the end.

DS3 soon.
You can even make a fucking Daimon build.
>>332437827
please u just repeat the same 3 attacks or 2 if u have the reset skills for the whole game, at least fighters gotta work for that damage
>>332438273
Just copy your saves into another folder and start a new one. You can change them any time.
Solid ARPG with many mechanics that are hard to come by in modern gaming. I was pleasantly surprised, especially by BBI and the dungeon delving feel it provides.

This so fucking much.
>"Hey, there's loot grinding, tail cutting and upgrade system, this game is just like Monster Hunter, we swear!"
>"there are combos, different weapons and shit!!!!"
>"woah the game can be a bit difficult during your first couple of hours of playing, Dark Souls wink-wink!"
It wishes to be dark souls, devil may cry and monster hunter, but fails in every regard. Which is a fucking shame, because it was incredibly comfy at first.
The worst thing about this game is the feeling of "why the fuck did I even play it" once you realize what kind of product this is and how shallow, unbalanced and outright cheap this game is. It literally feeds on your player fetishes and exploits you just when you start to believe that you're playing a great game. And don't even let me start me on that god awful DLC, but hey it's hard (for wrong reasons) and has a pinch of new content, it must be fucking amazing!
Fuck this shitty game, I feel heartbroken
>>332440138
DLC was the best part of the game though.
>>332439854
>>332439776
that part in the mission is scripted
if you dont kill it one shot it'll automatically unattach you and it'll fuck off
only WARRIOR can kill it in the first run of the game

It just needed more enemy variety. A lot more. I wanted more strategy involved in fights. More dismemberment, more climbing, and more neat tricks like making a cyclops take off his own helmet.
The reason so many people love this game is because it felt like the beta to their dream game. It has a lot of good ideas but feels like an abandoned early access game that no longer gets updates and you're left wanting more. I dream of what this game could be some nights and it's fantastic but for now we have a fun little experimental adventure game.

>>332436084
mediocre
some parts of it are awesome and incredible in ways no other games are
some other parts makes you want to erase it from your memory for having such retarded design
>>332436084
The game runs like shit on pc too, it looks awful and runs just as awfully.
>>332440719
That's some shitty PC you got there.
>>332440719
what kind of a pc do you have, can I ask?
it literally runs flawlessly maxed out on my gtx460/4gb/i5 2500 pc
It's a fucking amazing game but after 130 hours I'm just burned out. Will probably put another 40-50 hours into it a year or two from now.
>>332440471
Selene doesn't have tits though
>>332439138
That's pretty fucking dope.I doubt there's anything close to the vortex though.
>>332436084
Good gameplay
Good customization
Good exploration element
World too small
Quests were garbage
Story was garbage
I never got that far in the PC version, I got to the big city and did the dungeon below the pawn guild.
It's just honestly not that great. It kind of feels like an MMO but not really. Also the story didn't take off yet where I was, which was several hours into it.
Lastly, the game was a pretty poor port on PC in terms of control schemes. Sure, if you want to use a controller it's fine, however on KB+M being forced to hold a button to do skills when you could just have mapped it to whatever keyboard keys you wanted instead is pretty shit.
Overall I'm not sure why people liked it so much. Maybe I needed to get further in the game but combat was already getting somewhat repetitive at the point I was.

>>332441093
That sounds like a driver problem maybe? Or are you on Windows 10? My 750ti plays it at a constant 60fps. I've only played it on Windows 7 so I don't actually know if W10 gives it problems.
>>332441285
Windows 7 too, it could be a driver problem but i've heard the most recent nvidia drivers cause bsod and crashing so i'd rather not update them.

You can freeze the heads of dragons so they dont spit fire
I think you could cripple the cocks too

>I got to the big city and did the dungeon below the pawn guild

Yeah no shit. It takes less than an hour to get to Gran Soren, give the game a chance nigger.
>combat was already getting somewhat repetitive
Because you have access to like 5% of all skills at that point.
>>332441093
Fuckign kek it runs perfectly on my backup PC (HD4850 and Core2Duo, 4Gb ram).
>>332436084
An awesome, but very flawed, game. It does a bunch of things amazingly, others not so well. What this game needs is a sequel to iron out the bad, improve what's good, and add content that complement that good.
>>332441648
>less than an hour to Gran Soren
Yeah if you ignore all quests given to you and aren't new to the game.
>>332439680
That song only plays in BBI though.
most of the quests are extremely tedious and i feel like i need the wiki to even do them, so i stopoped playing. really like the combat tho
>>332441648
>It takes less than an hour to get to Gran Soren
Took me ten bruh
It tried. Has some great ideas but the execution sucks ass. And everything outside of those ideas is either mediocre or downright bad. Had some fun with it but the more I played the more I hated the game.
Pros:
>Combat is top-tier for an action RPG, and combat is mostly what you spend your time doing
>Most of the vocations are unique/fun to use in some way
>Has some cool ideas/TECHNOLOGY and pawns are a neat gimmick
>Visual customization of characters is quite good
>The story has a few interesting elements, especially once it goes batshit at the end
>Bitterblack Isle
>THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEEE
Cons:
>Basically any quest that doesn't involve going through a dungeon or fighting a big monster is guaranteed to be tedious as shit
>Mediocre open world design, often just a chore to run through and doesn't feel rewarding to explore
>The majority of the story (outside of the few interesting bits that mostly crop up at the very end) is completely unengaging and pointless
>Vocation/skill balance is godawful and there are too many enemies that are effectively impossible with certain vocations
>Stat levelling system is stupid
>'TIS WEAK TO FIRE
Overall I rike it, though it's extremely flawed and I was a bit baffled when /v/ was hyping it up as the second coming of Christ prior to the PC release.
>>332441240What's going on there?
>>332442631
For me, someone who was hype:
>tedious quests gave value to items and wasn't meant to be focused on most of the time. Its just something to keep in mind as you do other quests.
>Kinda ya
>ya i don't care about story, i love adventure and exploring
>I agree to some point but if you bring the right pawns its usually doable
>Its not the best but once you know how it works you could build a very strong character if you're willing to switch vocations for a while. But i can see how it can be awful to some.
>I just turn on subtitles and turn off the voices entirely in the game since most shit is repeated too much even by other NPCs.
The cons aren't noticable to some that are overpowered by some of the positives. For me the action is amazingly fun. I think if capcom tried their hand at a sequel that helps dampen the negatives it could be a GOTY that would shake the industry.
