Well met, Arisen. Can you hear our voice?
DD sucks

How do you beat the fucking dragon
I keep having to revive my pawns and he just destroys me
>>337554926

>>337554926
Use the ballistas.
woah...
>>337554514
haha nice meme you dip
>>337555073
I can use the ballistas all of once before he destroys them
DD is a very mediocre game and I don't understand why you people like it this much
>>337555114
so... this is the power... of dragons smegma
>>337555132
This should be enough.
It was so odd how this was just super resurfaced after PC release, then died 5x faster then it did on console release, I guess singleplayer only games really have no thread longevity, but, what a strange phenomenon.
>>337555168
I can't figure it out either, its got so many good little pieces but the fucking mmo grinding and repeated dialogue sucks ass.
>>337555114
Original DD came out at 2k12

Such a bad game. Lmao, /v/ was hyping this game so much when it got released on PC. I listened to you guys and bought it. Uninstalled it right after the "deliver the serpant head" mission. I have played terrible action rpgs but this was just the worst, shit quest, shit and cringeworthy dialogues/npcs, bland and dead world, annoying pawns, etc.
I still have this game in my steam library, I didn't even bother refunding it. Maybe I have just played too much Witcher 3 that every other rpgs looks garbage.

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. It really is unintuitive at times, especially on UR-Dragon.
>>337554738
how do you get this?
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.

I actually want to hear someone who likes this game respond to this, because the game really does feel devoid of life.
>>337556396
Alright. Warrior isn't the worst class.

>>337556396
as someone who likes it I really can't disagree with most of it but there's something about the game that catches certain people, me being one of them
I know how awfully mediocre and skewered the game is but I still like it for some strange, strange reason. pretty sure I've played through it well over 6 times, 2 of which being warrior only playthroughs
>>337556396
As the poster of that pasta I actually like the game but the people who consider it god tier are just looking at it through some fucking rainbow glasses
>>337556270
If you look at the artbook and whatnot you'll see just how big the game was supposed to be, they had a LOT of stuff designed and drawn up but what we ended up getting was a very barebones game. DD felt like a scale model of what they originally wanted to do. Don't get me wrong I still really enjoy the game but it has a tiny overworld map, dungeons are just one or two rooms, and there are only a few main quests. Hell even BBI which is a great overall idea is just the same few rooms repeated.
>Pawn system is fucking amazing and really deserved to be part of a much larger game with more endgame/long term content
>Combat system was a lot of fun, only needed a few nerfs to make it fairly balanced
>Even if you only get two the city and town design was pretty good, only TW3 goes further
I'm sure someone else has some of the images and can post them, it's eye opening to see just how big of a game they wanted to make.
>>337556396
He already said that the game isn't bad, and I don't know what else to say other than that they're perfectly valid points. I remember thinking all of these exact same things when I first played the game 4 years ago. Especially on the whole thing about the towns. Even with all of the glaring flaws DD has, I still fucking loved playing through it more times than I cared to count.
>>337556270
I went through the entire game with both me and my main pawn as warriors, and I felt like it was way too easy since I rekt everything with like no effort.
I even switched to and maxed ranger and assassin after bbi and I felt like those were horribly gimped in comparison.
>>337556735
Man the idea of remote islands is so spooky and cool.

>best normal attack
>second best strength grow, best hp grow, which is one of the stats you can barely raise with gear
>high knockdown and stagger resistance
>doesn't matter that arc of deliverance needs some time, you should use it when you knocked the enemy down

Some people just play this class wrong.
>>337556396
I liked the game, pasta's right about content being cut, it's a fact that a shitload of content got gutted
There was even a moon area, look at this >>337556735
Warrior is fun, only in normal mode though (even the shittiest of enemies become near impossible to knockdown with the weapons you find as you progress)
Also, fuck daimon 2

The game does feel like a neutered version of what it could have been.
But it's still fun, and a sequel could improve on it in many ways. Too bad we'll never get one, but hey at least we're getting DMC5 I guess.
DD is one of those games that could easily make the jump to MMO. It's a shame they tried it and put minimal effort into it.
>>337557170
I meant as a pure red
It's a shitty boss if you're playing as warrior/fighter
>>337557301
I never fought him as fighter, but as warrior I basically did the same and just pommeled his face to death with the help of some strength enhancing items. Not that difficult, but only doable with lvl2 BBI weapons and better.
>>337557301
Can't disagree. At least first form of Daimon can be easily cheesed through with goldforged rusty weapons.
I'm still mad a normal red/yellow can't kill fucking Living Armors, it's bullshit

I know it's because there aren't that many people at that high of a level but that was still depressing.
How do you beat the dragon?
I can always get him to about 1/3 health before he just ends up raping me, but the worst part is that I can't back out and just grind some more so that I can actually destroy him. I've tried using ballistas but by the time I actually reach them I can only fire two shots maximum before he destroys them
>>337557797
Climb onto his heart and slash his shit up basically
>>337557797

>>337557738

Apparently no one else has my fetish cause I got like 6 or 7 hires over the 3 months it took me to clear the game.

that looks like a wrong chidori
>>337557797
Just Git Gud.
What class are you? I had the misfortune of leveling my warrior when I fought Grigori, still managed to beat him since my Ranger pawn kicks ass.
Now I'm trying to duo BBI with just my main pawn, it's pretty fun but hectic since we have no magic aside from Dragon's Ire. I'm an assassin and my pawn is a Ranger.
>BBI
>that one room with 2 (two) goreocyclopses
>>337554514
Why is warrior so gimped?
3 active skills despite having both hands occupied with one wepaon.
Every other class has 6.
This shit is no fun at all, I had to switch to assassin.
>>337558391
oh shid i'm sorry :D
>>337558591
To make up for the arcs being so good. Also, it's always a struggle to be Gats
>>337558741
maybe I want to with a two handed weapon without being an annoying faggot
>>337558741
Arc isn't even that good, the time it takes to charge up I could have already destroyed an enemy with thousand kisses and moved the the next one.
What were they thinking?
>>337558591
Every other class except for the magic users have only three skills per weapon. Also his normal attacks are damn powerful. Learn to love the jumping light attack.
>>337558905
>Every other class except for the magic users have only three skills per weapon
And can use two weapons at the same time having 6 active skills at any time as result.

Warriors can have 6 skills with mods now, you can unlock equip/vocation restrictions and wear a secondary weapon (magick shield or bow or whatever) as a warrior
Not 6 skills with 2handed weapon skills though, Capcom went out of their way to make that impossible because Conan raped a programmer's mother
>>337558591
>still no mods that improve warrior gameplay in the slightest
wut the fuk
>>337558884
Well its good if youre not trying to cheese the game with thousand kisses.
>>337558884
>the time it takes to charge up I could have already destroyed an enemy with thousand kisses and moved the the next one.
That's only true for weak spots you can't reach. I bet you just smashed some cyclops feet with the arc and expecting an one-hit kill, instead of bringing him down on his knees and then fucking his face up with one hit.
Though I believe there is some problem with the enemies physical defense in BBI. It's pretty high and when the arc breaks through the defense there is not much damage left. Thousand kisses also does little damage, but all the attacks add up, making it look like it's the more damaging skill.
>wear a secondary weapon (magick shield or bow or whatever) as a warrior
Disgusting.

jesus fuck how much did DD sell on PC? enough to warrant a sequel? pls I haven't been this excited since yoko wanted to make drakengard 2 about space dragons
>>337559754
Try staking magick rebalancer 4 times and using sixfold, it's cheap but you having trouble so go for it
>>337559948
It sold probably not enough for a sequel which is a shame
hell instead of a sequel I'd just want all the cut content in a form of an expansion pack
>>337560037
Also, sacrificial bolt might do some gud damage since it's dark elemental and grigg's weak to it

>get excited thinking about BBI lvl 3 armor

As I recall, they said the PC sales were great and exceeded expectations (I don't remember where I read that, some link on the steam forums for DD)
>>337560615
this is my only gripe with the game, you can transmute looks of the gear you like into superior stat gear, fortunately being on PC I can give myself optimal stats with lewd gear and call it a day
>OPEN YOUR EYES
>>337556396
The game does have shitloads of cut content, no doubt about that. What makes it good is the actual gameplay, which is pretty much unprecedented in any other ARPG, especially for classes that aren't typical sword&board/warrior types. There are also lots of little things and details all around the place that give the game a lot of charm and personality
>>337558391
This one?
>>337560907
It also has pawns. And I don't want to say it's great because I can make my loli waifu, but it's great because it has learning ai, which no other game has. Why doesn't it get more praise for that? Yes, it doesn't work all the time, but sometimes it's just the game not telling you what inclinations for example really do. But they pioneered that, of course it will not be perfect.
I think the pawn ai is really underrated and anons and critics saying that this game has nothing to offer but some nice gameplay don't appreciate it enough.
>>337561330
Whatever intelligence the pawns are granted by learning from your actions and stuff is overshadowed by the catch phrase spamming.
>>337561330
Pawns are great and I wouldn't have played this game as much without them, that's for sure.
>>337555894
>I dropped the game during the first hour

>watching them play. dies to the cyclops outside the encampment

As far as I know that's all they played of it and haven't touched it since.
>>337561850
>>watching them play. dies to the cyclops outside the encampment
how
I had a lot of fun with it, but I understand why people wouldn't like it. My biggest complaint is the AI that jumps to their death whenever a chest is near a ledge. Every fucking time.
If it had native mod support it could become absolutely incredible, but obviously that's absurd to expect from a 4 year-old console port.
I just did some simple testing like this test with glow maps and it makes me pine for what could have been.
>>337561850
To be fair, the cyclops hits pretty hard early in the game. I can see him dying to his ass attack or getting stomped to death.
>>337561882
Playing fighter and just constantly running from goblin to goblin rather than focusing on the cyclops. Even when the pawns are shouting to attack the legs to bring it down.
>friend recommends me this
>fucking bored, nothing to do after the dragon leaves
>one shot by cyclops, how was I supposed to know
>say fuck it, go do some training

Shit game.
>>337562427fuck you tristan
>>337560139
The "cut content" is basically enough material to make an entirely new game when you think about how much time and effort would have gone into it. Reminder that they didn't actually get around to making any of that stuff in the first place, so they'd be doing it all from scratch.
