What a fucking bore. Does this game get any better?
No.
It's a classic example of good ideas with poor execution.
Yes.
That is the single worst part of the game.
They should not have put it in, especially right at the start.
There's good fun to be had with Dragon's Dogma.
I hope so. I'm basically at the same part.
Yes but you probably won't like it.
>>343927749
Also, are the basic vocations straight up worse than the advanced ones? I'm a fighter but don't want to get rid of my shield and don't really fancy doing ranged magic.
>>343926936
Yes, once you're in gran soren the real game begins.
>>343927983
pretty sure all the vocations are good in their own right, but magick archer and assassin seem to be top tier
>>343927983
how the fuck do you even upgrade them? I wanna get that two-hander but can't equip it yet.
>>343928197
Talk to the inn guy in Gran Soren
nope, refund while there's still time.
The vanilla game is pretty boring because the plot goes nowhere until the very, VERY end. The open world is also pretty damn empty and free exploration is actually discouraged due to easily overleving your party and many notable areas being locked altogether until you get the related main quest.
The expansion area is a lot better since it throws the shallow open world out of the window and focuses on the game's strong points; 100% combat, boss fights, dungeon crawling and loot.
>>343927983
Nah, they're good. Strider gets best jump attacks and some melee crowd control, Fighter is the best tank'n'spank and Mage is pretty much required in a party since it's the only magic class with proper healing spells.
Though if you like shield you could try out Assassin. They can use swords or daggers in their main slot and either a shield or a bow in their secondary slot. Also as far as defensive moves go, all dagger using classes get access to dodge move. As assassin you can also equip dual daggers and a shield to get access to both block and dodge.

Gran Soren (the main city) innkeeper.
It's one of those 'it'll get better in 20 hours' games that actually does get better. Last time I played it was on PS3 and I don't want to suffer through that beginning again.
I'd just use mods tbqh
>>343926936
Nope.
Flashy combat, that's all there is to this game.
>>343928645
No it only gets worse because by then you'll have seen all the enemies the enemies the game has to offer and you're just fighting reskins. By then you also realize how small and samey the world is.
Take your ADD pills and stick with CoD.
>>343928692
There was constant DD threads long before the announcement of the PC port peasant bro.
>>343929019
Did you find /v/ just yesterday? DD was long among the NEVER EVER jokes and there were plenty of discussion threads especially when Dark Arisen first got released. But I guess games magically turn shit when they get ported to a superior platform.
Just finished this "quest" I'm about 20 hours in and loving it so far, maybe you just have shit taste (:
>tfw /ddg/ is kill
>>343929424
>20 hours in
Literally what the fuck did you do for 20 hours before taking that quest?
>>343926936
You barely even started the game
If you want non stop action and explosions and QTEs go play COD
>>343929341
At least he has 28.8hours, I'm not even mad honestly.
>>343928045
All roads lead to Gran Soren
>>343929019
Wow you managed to combine the traits of shit taste and shit memory.
>>343929341
Well he's right.
Amazing combat but bad everything else
>>343929341
This is correct, especially if he didn't touch the better expansion area which does away with the shitty parts and focuses entirely on combat.
I have 250 hours on the PS3 version, and another 90 hours when it came out on PC, and I have great taste in games, so that should tell you something.
>>343930289
>Amazing combat
>spamming at enemies with big health bars
>amazing
>>343930602
Except it makes you realize how bad the combat is. All the enemies are tanky and slow, your hits do nothing to them, their attacks can one shot you, there is no strategy for beating them besides hitting an obvious weak point or spamming your strongest skills/attack. There's also no depth to the climbing system. You just attach to an enemy and use potions. At least the earlier parts of the main game had some crowd management with weaker enemies that made combat more enjoyable. BBI enemies are cancer.
It's pretty good. The whole ending/Post game and Bitterblack Isle is where it's at. Everything else is a bit boring yes.
>>343926936
No, it stays this tiresome.
>>343927983
>Also, are the basic vocations straight up worse than the advanced ones?
Not really, all have their benefits to being advanced.
>I'm a fighter but don't want to get rid of my shield and don't really fancy doing ranged magic.
Assassins can also use sword & board, with the option of switching to bows if you feel like. There's no harm in experimenting with vocations.
>>343926936
What games do you consider not boring?
>>343926936
>Still has Rook
Are you playing pirated version?
>>343930289
> Amazing
It's like a shitter version of Dragon Age Inquisition. Weebs gulp it down because the camera shacking and people channelling super ultra gigganigga spells so they can have their epic cinematic experience with as much quality gameplay as watching MGS4 on Youtube.
>>343926936
Pretty much all of this game is better than this quest.
Maybe video games aren't for you anymore anon.
>>343931672
> It's shit the first 20 hours but then it gets good
>>343929793
exploring and killing shit. what the fuck do you think I would be doing in a semi open world game filled with giant monsters? fucking escort missions?
>>343932115
I have no idea how someone could say something so blatantly wrong.
>>343930945
Let me guess, you're trying to shoot/stab those pesky Armored Cyclops guys and they are just massive damage sponges
>>343932115
>It's like a shitter version of Dragon Age Inquisition.
Biodrones everyone.
>>343932324
But it's true. Whenever someone claim the magic is good they post a video of High Frigor or something equally retarded, because what people who like Dragons Dogma consider good gameplays is holding in a single button and waiting until your cinematic experience starts playing. Whenever someone claim the melee combat is good they always post someone climbing a golem or w/e, as if pressing a key to get onto one, steer your character in the glowing weak-points (because they're always glowing) and smash away is engaging.
DD is the only game I've played that I genuinely regretted spending so much time playing, because I sat there thinking "it get's good soon, the story will be great any moment now, soon I'll have engaging combat".
>>343932257
Pretty much. Makes me remember that some friend told me the endgame was what made WoW good, so I spend many many hours grinding a character, bored out of my mind... only to find out the whole fucking game is a huge shit.
At least in DD there's something fun in the end and I don't have to endure people in multiplayer games.
>>343933091
There are only two 2 enemies in the entire game with glowing parts. That is golem/metal golem and Ur/cursed dragon. And no one ever posts climbing webms. The most you see is arc of obliteration. Please try again.
>>343932115
Holy fuck that bait.
>>343932257
Doesn't take 20 hours to get to BBI, in fact if you really want to have fun you should head there early.
>>343933091
>glowing weak-points
>>343926936
It gets good right around the bluemoon tower quest with that awesome Griffin fight.
>>343932263
There's jack shit to explore before you get to Gran Soren.
>>343932514
Nah. Just the opening guys/bosses seemed like damage sponges.
Like the Hydra and the giant, you just wail on them til they're down, no strategy
Fucking kids these days.
>>343933703
Every dragon's heart glows, not just Ur/Undead.
The rest of the weak points get called out by pawns twelve times a second when fighting something big.
Now that it's bad, knowing where to strike is only half the battle, being able to hit them is the other half.
>>343926936
Of course.
I distinctly remember taking pawns through Bitterblack Isle 2 and gifting BBI 3 gear to lucky anons. Good times.
I should do those kind of threads sometimes again.
Dragon's Dogma is awsome. Strider can routinely kill everything, even on hard. Warrior a shit, especially in Bitterblack.
>>343932115
>super ultra giganigga spells
What this game needed wasthe ability to stop gameplay and micromanage your party.
>>343935945
The threads were fun, for sure.
>>343937757
DA:Cisquisition pls go
The game is fucking shit.
>>343926936
no wonder why devs hate PC cucks
>>343940281
LOTTA EFFORT FOR AN UNPAID SHITPOSTER
>>343940421
consolebabies were saying the same thing
>>343926936
It's all uphill from there. The enjoyment of this game is exponential. Basically it gradually gets better as you explore the world and adquire skills, and SHOTS THE FUCK UP endgame because the game turns into a dungeon crawler boss rush.
>>343940281
The great and eloquent PC community.
>>343930289
>bad everything else
Lore is deep
Everybody was sucking this game for years but all of a sudden there are tons of threads about how people don't enjoy it.
DD is a legit fun game and admitting you don't enjoy it is like admitting you have shit taste.
Its pretty much Dark Souls with superior combat but not overly difficult.
>>343941140
I like DD but you are a fucking retard.
>Its pretty much Dark Souls
kys
>>343928806
>By then you also realize how small and samey the world is.
>>343928806
It's kind of an awkward size. It's just big enough to be annoying to traverse but small enough to be disappointed by its size
>>343928692
Why?
Every single game that was exclusive to consoles and then was ported to PC has been absolute garbage.
GTA V, Dark Souls, Dragons Dogma, MGR...
Pure cringe.
>>343941140
>enemies with gigantic hp
>combat is spammy and not precise at all
>literally an advanced mmo combat
>anime as fuck
kys
>>343941140
The combat is fun and exciting but the long lulls between killing large monsters was enough to make me eventually give up
>>343929982
what an autistic fuck.
>>343926936
this is bait!
>>343926936
Drop it you drooling retard, and never concider yourself having good taste ever again you embarrasment
is ever enemy supposed to take 7 hours to kill or is it just me?
>>343926936
>At the start of the game
<LOL DOES THIS GET ANY BETTER?!
Of course it does you fucking moron. You're not even 20 min in yet and you're complaining?
>>343945018
levels are fairly important as are stats
if you are attacking say, that dragon guarding that forest and you are underleveled it will take forever to kill him because your magic/attack stat doesn't defeat his defense stat.
The defense/offense system is very simple in dragons dogma. Either you do almost no damage under, normal damage, or crazy damage over.
>There will never be a DD2
