>>344882158
I actually heard some bullshit that the game gets fun when you finish it, is it true?
>>
>>344883045
Well after you beat the game it gets a whole lot harder and some people found the game to be pretty easy so the added challenge makes it more fun for some as well as since you've beaten the game you are probably a decent level so you can start the dlc which I haven't tried but I heard is also pretty damn hard.
>>
>>344881359
if you are not having fun right off the bat, chances are you are not going to have any later on either.
>>
>>344881359
It gets good after you finish it, not even joking
>>
>>344886987
I disagree, honestly. I picked up DD because /v/ said it was the shit and almost dropped it at the first Cyclops/Hydra. Starting with Fighter/Mage almost put me off it completely. Then I fucking put some actual effort in, got to Gran Soren and had a great fucking time.

In a sense, yes.

By "beating the game" I would assume be the beating of the main heroic plot - defeating the dragon

The game opens up greatly after that point, which drives a big part of the enjoyment for many.

Otherwise, it actually "gets fun" after about 2-3 hours, which is too long for many

>>
>>344889610
This.
The beginning is just horrible. You get autokilled by bandits and everything else first so it feels like a drag, plus the enemies are shitty. After a while it gets better. When yu go down to the underground I was sold in the game.

And I fucking loved it, but I can absolutely understand why someone wouldn't. To me it's like one of the three game that make fights against big enemies fun, like an improved SotC.
I also loved the story, I don't get why everyone hated it. It takes forever to get going though.

SotC has better climbing mechanics than DD though.

Actually it's worse than SotC in every way
>>
>>344890337
Yes but like half of the fights were complete shit, which is bad in a game made entirely of boss fights.
>>
What class did you choose? Mage and sorcerer are boring as fuck until you get the big fuck off spells later.

I recommend the ranger class, sniping fools from afar and ten-folding them up close is fucking awesome in this game.
>>
>>344890480
those other half are pure gold though and DD doesn't get anywhere close.
>>
So, I have just started this game only because people praised the combat system and said that it's a lot better than the Witcher 3's system.
Can someone explain me what's good about it? I must miss something for sure, because It seems incredibly bad and certainly worse than the witcher 3's system.
>>
>>344890645
DD is probably the best RPG to play a bow class, they're all fucking great to play.

The starting classes have fairly meh skills at the beginning, the mixed classes are more fun anyway. Get to Gran Soren, experiment with different classes, etc.

>>344890645
Yeah I actually started with mage, do you think I should start over Ranger? I'm still at the hydra so I'm up for it if it's actually worth it
>>
>>344881359
>can only have fun playing as warrior

God dammit
Ranger is cool too cause you can roll around and double jump but I just hate daggers
>>
>>344891175
You can't pick Ranger at the beginning. Strider is the best starting class though, so go with that.

It's pretty good.

Have you tried Assassin or Mystic Knight? Not as weighty as Warrior, but they're not as restictive.

Why did they ruin such a good combat system with absolutely no challenge whatsoever thanks to the implementation of curatives?

Why is the only challenge in the post game and even then it's just cheap difficulty?

Why does every sub plot end without a conclusion?

I don't follow. What's the problem? I'd understand if the combat was underwhelming because most of the starting enemies and your abilities aren't amazing, but if it's something else, you've lot me. Have you at least fought the cyclops or hydra yet?
>>
>>344890978
I don't get why it's praised so much, it's nothing compared to action games like DMC or Ninja Gaiden. Pretty shallow with some nice looking animations and a lot of customisation options
>>
>>344891383
I tried mystic knight and the only thing I liked about it was the shield buffs. That was very fun. Never tried assassin never saw the perks, is it actually fun?
>>
>>344891898
assassin is the highest strength per level up choice, meaning he gets very powerful over time. Gameplay of assassin types is most of the time grapling and stabbing shit in the eye like a rodeo cowboy

It's pretty fun
>>
>>344891898
The plus of Assassin is that you basically have four different skillsets to choose from, and you can switch them out in battle assuming you have the corresponding weapons. It's kind of neat having a bow and sword at the same time, too.
>>
the game's cool but i feel like i have no idea what im doing or where im supposed to go. i picked up like 4 different quests and tried all of them and either died in 1 hit to a giant cyclops thing, got swarmed by 15 bandits and massacred, or killed by giant lizards with polearms. i finally found a high level, fully geared pawn for free who kills everything for me, but it makes the game less fun because i am basically watching AI play the game for me.

This game is a good example of why we need level scaling, you go around killing everything with no challenge, in the second half of the game and then you go to BBI and fight things that you can barely scratch

Maybe because it's an ARPG, not a stylish action game? The dagger and bow classes have borderline stylish action skills anyway.
I can't think of any ARPG with the same kind of fun, viceral, fast-paced combat. Maybe the Ys games, even they don't have the same level of class variation that DD has.
>>
>>344892083
So can you use a shield and dagger?
>>
I feel like so many bad decisions came out of it being a console game. The U.I. is among the worst I have ever seen. The controls are shitty. A lot of features seem like it's trying to do multiplayer but for consoles (where it limits itself because it's aware that the consoles don't have browser support the same way PC's do).

Also the "it get's good at some point far later into the game". That's terrible. Were people so generous with FF13? I think not.

Maybe because it's really fucking time consuming when complex combat is generally not the reason people play RPGs? Name one RPG other than those two with the same level of real-time combat. Soulsborne isn't the correct answer, incidentally.

No, what we really need is to abolish levels. Levels in video games were a mistake. There should be other means of progression instead that enhance your combat abilities without arbitrary numbers arm races.
>>
When it first came out on console it was the greatest action rpg of all time until that patched in the ability to switch to easy mode at any time.

When it first came out if you went to the wrong area you were literally fucked and would have to hide around bushes and rocks or get your bung hole raped six ways to Sunday. There was no easy mode button to get you out of a bad situation.


Bitch ass faggots complained that the game was too hard so Capcom caved in and patched in anytime easy mode.

When DD first came out it was the greatest thing ever because everyone playing was on the same level playing field so it made the world feel far more real.

>>344892870
Doesn't matter. You can still do massive spells that knocks giant monsters over, shoot griffins out of the air with bows, and smash chimeras into the ground with massive swords. In terms of real-time combat within a traditional fantasy setting, it's nigh-unparalelled.

The Witcher 3's system is fun and flashy, but it has much less options for battle than DD does, just given the fact that there are multiple classes with numerous skills each instead of just left sword/right sword/signs/crossbow/bombs. That said, I wouldn't exactly put DD over TW3. Even with Bitterblack Isle, the game feels too short. If you could just transplant DD's gameplay into TW3 and maybe shrink the world down a bit you'd have the perfect RPG.

this is the opposite of the truth, though

your gear matters infinitely more than your base stats, your base stats are maybe a hundred or so in variance, when your stats go into the thousands with the best gear

If you start the game as a strider, the combat gets fun real quick , especially when you get the wire move , the scenery and atmosphere are nice too, takes a little getting into if you play as a sorcerer (which is the least fun imo) and dont be a boring cunt and play fighter. The game gets better as you play and this extends past the story finish which seems weird but it's good fun and a challenge once you get to bitterblack isle

switched over to strider at 40 in hopes of stat gains for my eventual mystic knight.

Honestly, that's the only real problem the game has, apart from the anemic story and characters.
And if you just got to Gran Soren then you should be able to experiment with the different classes, you finally got to the good stuff. Go nuts. If you have the patience to enjoy something like Bakemonogatari, you can manage this.

>not sitting in the fucking pawn chair at the inn like it says in the tutorial to lower pawn chatter
>going out at night when the game clearly says you will get fucked over if inexperienced
>doing escort quests
escort quests are boring but they are also exploitable. take a teleport shard and put it at destination, go back, start the quest, teleport to there. The escort will magically teleport with you. Unless you mean the fucking cow drag to gran soran, then beat him with your foot.
>caring about the 5% of quests that are mostly for flavor
seriously all those quests you can miss mean nothing. There isn't any loot you can't pick up later.
>implying it takes 200 hours to have fun in dragons dogma
10 tops unless you are fucking around in the city throwing people off ledges
>>
>>344892842
on that note , why is playing as a mage so fucking lame in this game , most fantasy rpgs I play as the caster classes , but they felt so slow and watching my pawn climb around a giant cyclops' nuts and doing flips and shit as a strider made me roleswap to it in the end and the game just got so much more fun , anyone have this experience?
>>
>>344903381
you were playing it wrong
mages should get an enchant and fuck things up with the bunny hop technique
>>
>>344903304
>>344902708
Also, escort quests generally get you the best gear for that stage in the game. I remember switching to Warrior first thing in Gran Soren, did one escort quest which required escaping a fucking drake, and got given the best longsword for about half the game. It's pretty nifty.
>>
>>344883045
The "end" of the game doesn't end it, it just fucks the world up.

And in a fucked up world, fun can be had.
>>
>>344903381
Mage is boring, switch to Sorcerer when you get the chance and learn the nuke spells.
>>
what class should i start this game as I want to have the most fun possible
>>
>>344904237
strider

the yellows are overpowered but never really boring or frustrating
>>
>>344904237
strider > assassin

ranged in general is a little more boring than fucking up in melee or climbing around shit
>>
>>344904237
assassin
you could go and use the fighter's weapons and be a god
>>
>>344903710
I did a lengthy play session as sorcerer (12-13 hours) and got pretty into it , but the high level spells just took so long to cast , which is fair since there's not really another resource pool for spells, but while it was fun wrecking that pleb dragon in devilfire gorge in like 2 hits, its not very varied or fast
>>
>>344905397
Eh, I found that mixing the normal, fast-ish mage spells with the big dumb nuke ones worked well.

There's also a ring you can get which cuts cast time by a lot, and possibly another item that does it. I think you can get it at the tower where you fight the griffin? Or maybe it's only in BBI.
>>
>>344905397
you don't need to cast the highest rank spells, although it doesn't make sense, it was better to be one rank below max rank and use that special ring to enhance your casting speed because it was better dps that way.

I find mystic knight to be really fun if you don't spam cannons 24/7 and take advantage of both your sword and staff abilities. Also being able to consistently perfect block can be pretty satisfying.

what the fuck? how about the game is just fun and doesn't require me to explot teleports or stupid bullshit

I made up until some stupid shit ass goblin attack on a fortress or something equally shit then the game autosaved right locking me out of an assload of sidequests. dropped it right there and then, never looked back

Does anyone have that trailer with The Wind song? I can't seem to find it anymore.

Yeah , the autosave only system is pretty outdated , i wish we could just a hard save , even if we only got one so that you dont get locked out of a bunch of quests

>>344881359
If you're playing on PC immidetly get a mod that gives you unlimited sprinting.

Now just play the game normally for 3 hours and afterwards it'll be pretty good. First playthrough is alright, second is pretty fun since it's hella faster and you can actually start doing the expansion pack. The end game is amazing.

Well, see for yourself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mXQlO4iUf0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo1LfQu5Yvc

Bear in mind that these classes share some skills with each other (Sorc gets quite a few of the Mage spells, MA gets a few Strider knife skills, etc.)

Sorcerer is good for being a raw spellcaster with nuke spells, MA is good for going fast and mucking about with some nify magic.
>>
This game is fun... But it's missing something, I don't know what. I'm pretty sure you all know what I'm talking about, you can just feel that something just isn't where it should be. Am I crazy?
>>
>>344909673
No, it was cut short, that's what happened. Imagine fighting Grigori and being so intense that he flys you up to the moon and end up blowing it out (why there is no moon post-game) and then the endless tower being a portal to multiplayer and the regular map being big enough to have a transportation system (parachute across the map) with different races of pawns
