What went wrong?
Absolutely nothing.
>>339960983
It doesn't have a sequel.
Capcom not letting them go all out, really.
Other than that, nothing.
No moon or proper sequel/directors cut. I am glad it made it to PC though.
They took the lack of co-op complaint as an indication that people wanted an MMO.
Also, no option to just make 3 main pawns.
The game was OK, it can go ahead and stay.
>>339961602
I wouldn't mind the pawn system so much if there was some sort of incentive to keep them longer. It felt like a slog to have to basically replace my team every couple of levels.
My pawn got rented maybe three times in 80 hours of play, so I never had enough RC to realistically pay for higher level ones that last longer.
Boring world, low monster diversity, story doesn't get interesting until the very end, limited skills.
>>339961809
I usually keep them until they're 5-10 levels below me.
Low and high levels, they don't matter too much, as they're either too inexperience to worry about proper set ups and shit, while higher levels you're already a one man murder machine and the pawns are just backup/packmules.
Mid-level was where I seemed to give a fuck about what skills and inclinations a pawn had when trying to form a party, sifting through tons of different pawns cause they didn't have the right inclination or skill set-up.
>>339960983
The lack of co-op or drop in/drop out party based mechanics revolving around Bitterblack Isle/Everfall/Catacomb style proceedurally generated dungeons with a lobby area like the entrance to Bitterblack Isle, without pawns, just four players. With a big, strong boss at the end and plenty of mini bosses and exploration puzzles between.
In short, they never made a sequel. That's the only thing they did wrong.
literally unfinished. nice mechanics trapped inside a VERY blant world. also the story is basicly non existent inb4 story becomes great after 90% of the game
>>339962821
>proceedurally generated dungeons
Cease and desist.
>>339960983
THe drop rate of those black berry things you have to turn into weapons. It was really difficult for me to progress with out a good weapon, and I couldnt get a good weapon because I could never find any
It wasn't as good as Witcher 3
>>339963353
Well once you get those you basically did everything there is to do in the game besides farming for the perfect armor perks like an autist.
It gives BBI a lot of replayability. Plus you're supposed to go there after you've finished Grigori.
>>339960983
Stats being based on your class as you level up is a pretty big trap for a lot of people - not because people screw up their build or anything but because they think they can. It would have been better to just have your stats change with your class, but oh well.
I guess it would also help if pawns had more more to say about enemies. They yell about elemental weakness all the time but they never let you know about how useful items and status ailments are. Thus a lot of people never bother with either and just assume they are useless. That shit's actually a huge game changer but a lot of players just spam attacks though the whole game instead of actually applying some strategy.
>>339963353
The Dragon weapons are all good though. Most of them are in the top 5 for their weapon type.
>>339963426
>"this game isn't as good as another game that came out like 4 fucking years later"
Strange comparison to make.
>>339960983
released on pc years later
Poorly designed, small, repetitive world. Shitty quests that feel broken most of the time. Pacing of the story is awful. Enemy variety is really poor. Combat mechanics are undermined by the game's RPG systems. Difficult enemies are damage sponges that are not fun to fight at all.
>>339961602
DDO is not an MMO. It's literally the 2-4 player co-op mode you dumb millennials asked for
Can you sex the pawns?
Will they object?
Will they enjoy?
Can they give birth?
>>339963793
t. milllennial
The level progression system is really dumb. I really love the game though, and I would buy a sequel. Wish there was some co-op dungeons or something.
>>339963353
I got the Scalding Razors pretty early on in some dungeon and those carried me until BBI. Now I have the Framae Blades, Darkening Storm, and full Shadow Set everything to Gold Rare.
Reminder that DD2 will be announced at E3.
>>339963840
yes
no
maybe
I liked it, but for some reason it runs like ass , my specs meet minimum
>>339960983
cut content
>>339963793
*2-8 players
Also it's a grind. Even more than the first game but still a good fun sequel. Just glad that the game play is intact
mages suck ass to play
>>339960983
One of the worst high-profile implementations of an open world in recent memory.
Plot's absolute garbage until the very end.
Quests are mediocre at best, and often consist of nothing more than fetch/kill fare.
Progression system is poorly explained and, frankly, not that compelling.
I, personally, wasn't a fan of the combat. Seemed very button-mashy with little in the way of strategy or resource management involved.
>>339963426
Witcher comparison apart, I fully agree with the review.
>>339964502
Didn't get DD 1.5 million sales on steam alone?
Just gimme a sequel!
>>339960983

gr8 game tho
>>339964934
not likely
does this body please you Arisen?
As much as I hate everything procedurally generated, it could work out in Dragon's Dogma favor since most of the game is its combat anyway. I mean fuck would it really be that much of a step down from the Everfall chambers?
>>339965197
> I mean fuck would it really be that much of a step down from the Everfall chambers?
well that area was completely unfinished
>>339960983
dlc content not locked down until ng+
>>339964934
i got that much on PS3
>>339961464
This. A fucking Sequel was needed.
Or a spin off that just focuses on the very best aspect.
>>339962821
sounds like a DDO. Is it ever coming to west?
>>339964502
that image pisses me off
>>339965184
Cowtitted slut, you molested my loli arisen out of nowhere
When they're masterworks all you feel a little overwhelmed. Sometimes less is more
>>339963426
this one pisses me off more
>mfw nobody made a texture overhaul for this game.
>>339967124

Dumbass.
>>339967124
>mfw you're a mage on a solo journey and come across one of these.
>>339967208
There's not the same amount of autism as in skyrim for this game sadly.
>>339967475
maybe you should be a tiny girl mage and get a team of big buff warriors to do it for you
I wanna romance my pawn!

>>339967936
but they have no personality. They are like dolls. They are only good for bein cumdumps.I imagine the Arisen giving the D to his loli pawn every time they rest in an inn
My main gripe is how the game world is so fucking bland. Combat is fun as fuck though, which isn't something you can say about other similar games
I had this game for over two years for the PS3.
Just now playing it after clearing a long list of games.
What do I need to do to get good.
>>339960983
This game was begging for co-op. I'd buy it again if they included it.
>>339968336
Just play for a day or two it gets a lot easier. If enemies in an area are kicking your ass stay out of it for now. I'm playing it for the first time myself, some 10 hours in but my GPU's busted so now I have to wait and shitpost on here
>>339961809
Levels don't matter as much later in the game, a pawn 15+ levels lower than the one you're using could be much more effective due to having better gear and generally higher stats (barring HP/Stamina, of course) Having better weapons/armor and abilities is more important than level.
>>339968129
yeah this game needed character slots or more save states
Not enough content, only 2 towns, and basically nothing done in the bottom left part of the map. There should have been an outpost at the least (with more than 1 vendor like the mountain pass), and there should have been way more quests there. Same with the mountain area outside of the castle that goes to Grigori.
AlsoBitterblack Isle.
>>339963426
Witcher 3's actual gameplay is fucking awful compared to DD. I'm convinced that all modern gamers and journalists just want games to be fucking movies.
Very repetitive game. The combat /v/ praises bored me after a single playthrough (though I grinded that end-game black isle shit a few times) and I haven't played since.
Meanwhile I'm going to start an 8th playthrough of DaS1. Because its combat is enjoyable.
I wish sex mods were a possibility
>>339960983
Took Flying into Free and replaced it with some bland shit.
>>339968989
Pretty much my experience, I got 120 hours out of it and farmed the shit out of BBI 2.0 but it never really get good.
>>339968293
The deeper the bond with their arisen the more they get a personality.
Dark Arisen basically only happened because an arisen boned his pawn.
>>339969298
>I got 120 hours out of it
what a waste of money
>>339965184
>cropping out the japes
What a gaff
>>339969298
I put in that much time too.
I thought DD was good but it was super overhyped on /v/. They made me expect the best combat I'd ever experience in an RPG. But Dark Souls still crushes DD (to me).
>>339969138
Nude mod is as good as you'll get
Post pawns
Not enough classes
>Priest
Support spells and holy missiles, support summons like wards and turrets
>Priest + Fighter = Paladin
Make Mystic Knight more elements based, give this the holy enhancement spells, shields attacks etc.
>Priest + Mage = Wizard
Bigger holy missiles, a2g shit, mines, etc., immunity barriers
>Priest + Strider = Monk
Unarmed shit you already know
>Priest + Priest = Saint
Godly summons angels and demons and shit to hit hard and protect you
>Priest + Tribal = Pagan
Demonic tinged evil shadow magics
>Tribal
Spears- enough said
>Tribal + Fighter = Champion
Dual wielding one handed weapons
>Tribal + Mage = Shaman
Elemental magics but with a rougher usage
>Tribal + Strider = Scout
Slingshots daggers blowguns and stealth
>Tribal + Tribal = Beast Master
Summon animals
>>339970271
But there's no nude males
>>339970738
That's an easy fix, you could do that yourself
>>339960983
No western release for the MMO.
>>339970494
>Splitting up the already limited skillsets even more
Why would you do that. Also, the Monk was actually introduced in DDO, I think.
Too much content, no fast travel.
>>339971538
That's alchemist, though.
>>339971817
>Too much content, no fast travel.
How can there be too much content?
And you build your own fast travel network.
>>339971817
>Too much content, no fast travel.
Literally what.
>>339971865
I forgot what it was called. You still punch shit barehanded though, don't you?
>>339960983
Nothing. It's the best game of last gen and the PC version only makes it even better.
>>339960983
Nothing went wrong AT ALL
It had great reception on console.
The only problem is that PC users on /v/ are very jaded to the point where they only really enjoy about 3 games.
The fight with Grigori is among my favorite moments in any game. Everytime you run to a tower or see that fucker perched waiting on you is fucking awesome. His dialogue and the music set the tone so well. I had a PS3 save backed up for a long time just to replay his fight.
The Senschal reveal was rad as fuck too. Shame he's so easy when he should've been a Rival-tier fight.
I love BBI, and Daemon is an awesome boss fight, but I don't care for his design that much. I don't think he tops Grigori's fight in terms of build up and scale.
Pre-Grigori is 7/10.
Grigori and post-game is 9/10.
>>339970484
>pawn romance never ever
>>339972807
lol the grigori fight is boring cinematic bullshit
Likeable but extremely poorly handled setting.
Bad story pacing.
Non-existent writing.
Very little effort went into quest design.
No interactions with the game world outside of finishing completely linear monster killing quests.
Gets repetitive (although this wasn't as big a problem for me since I really enjoyed the pointless running around).
>>339973256
It's cinematic done right. There's only one QTE and it leads into the actual big arena showdown.
>>339961809
>buy it right when it came out on PC
>favorite all of the pawns I really like
>most of them all leveled at the same pace I did
It was a fantastic feeling, playing with the same pawns for most of the way.
I dropped it after an hour
>>339960983
cut content
no DD2

no mounts
>>339965184
>>339967475
>tfw I took off my staff and punched it to death
>>339969627
Dark Arisen basically only happened because an arisen tried to have two waifus

Me and my bae
>>339974296
That Arisen is fucking disgusting
>>339970484
>>339974061
she's pure though
Anyone ever get killed by the Seneschal? I didn't know thatyou become the next Dragon if he kills you.
>>339975339
I wasn't familiar with grappling and got assblasted by his area attack on hard mode
