A New Type of Open World

[@shivernaut8607]

limited fast travel is one of the most based decisions an open world can make

[@newporthunnitstick1683]

Right then add ways to pay for more that don’t even let you travel right away after purchase 💀💀💀

[@akgamer3666]

travel in this game is much more about the journey than the destination.

[@SuperRitz44]

It seems travel in this game is much more about the journey than the destination.

[@GutsyViceroy]

That's what made the first game so special. I remember a time when all my party members died in a boss battle, so the long trek back to the hub area was a terrifying fight for my life. It wouldn't have been nearly as exciting if I could just fast travel back.

[@fukunaga-kane]

In the first game, the game would require you to set on this long journey to the north to face a Griffin on top of the tower. It was my most memorable experience in gaming. You just need to have the right mindset when playing it.

[@lgbfjb1183]

Perfectly stated

[@elsoul7204]

"open worlds suck" is something i still say and believe to this day. But there are a few rebel games that made me enjoy such worlds. I admit i am very interested in Dragon Dogma2, even despite the reduced fast travel The first game happen to be very cheap, i'll give it a go (once i have gotten rid of my backlog...)

[@ryandeshazo]

It takes a bit to get into, but I just started playing it this week after pre-ordering 2, and I'm loving it.

[@luxter858]

@@ryandeshazo same. bought DDDA for 4 bucks to see if DD2 is my type of game. PLanned to play it for 1 hour yesterday but ended up at 4. Def gonna play DDDA through after im done with DD2

[@fukunaga-kane]

If it helps, you shouldn't rush to your destination when playing DD2. Because it will immediately feel like a slog when you’re aiming to reach a destination ASAP by foot (without teleport stones).

[@stonaraptor8196]

I just don't get that stance. How would loading screens make a game better? Ideally every game would be "open world" with completely seamless transitions/traversal. What people probably actually mean to say is badly designed games, checklist style boring and bland Ubisoft open worlds do suck. Huge difference though.

[@lgbfjb1183]

I don’t want them "capcom" to simplify anything from dragon’s dogma 1, dragons dogma 1 didn’t hold your hand 🤚 in almost any aspect, had to fend for yourself, and some of the best gear in the game was some of the hardest to get I’ve seen from any other game, like certain upgrades, "cuz it’s a lot about the upgrade materials" you had to beat death, one of the hardest mini bosses I’ve encountered in any game period. Also had to hunt these extremely rare vampire beasts that you had to wait for them to bite you just for a chance they get temporarily charged with a red glow and even then wasn’t guaranteed to drop rare mats once killed, it’s truly dynamic! And I hope they follow this format into dd2

[@krum1985]

I love DD2, and I think the lack of fast travel everywhere is part of why I love it. Dragon's Dogma 2 is just one of those too rare games I can really immerse myself in. The downside, for me, is that it feels like a big time commitment to sit down and play.

[@_Fizzy_1]

I'm someone who adores open world games, but who has either disliked or at least had mixed feelings about every mainstream open world game from the past handful of years. I feel like the games didn't know how to do open world but wanted to follow the trend, so they just made their map BIG and didn't bother to make exploration meaningful or make the world feel alive. I've found myself getting very fatigued and jaded about open world games in general. But everything I'm seeing about this game has me excited. The limited fast travel in particular inspires a lot of confidence. One of my favorite open world games is Morrowind, which has limited fast travel that fits both with the game pushing you to explore AND with the infrastructure and lore of the world. Utilizing the available methods is just part of the adventure and can make the entire journey more satisfying to execute. If Dragon's Dogma II does it even half as well as Morrowind, it'll be a feature that only enhances the game.

[@mrdato116]

Open world is great when made right. Fir example: Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Far Cry 3 , Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077.

[@quandaledingle8887]

Hey, you should play "pepper grinder" it's a one developer indie devolver game and it's super good plus I wanna see your review for it

[@gmg9010]

Character creation in games is awesome I’d be doing it for hours if I could.

[@IqstheNightelf]

Really looking forward to Dragon's Dogma 2 but really fear the big world with no fast travel. Hope it still fits my schedule.

[@jinsakai409]

If you don’t like the idea of playing the video game version of lotr then you won’t like this.

[@cb6667]

Just enjoy the journey there is no hurry

[@PainfullySoberAndUnhinged]

I ain't got sh*t on my schedule except distracting myself from my impending doom. Excited to put in 100+ hours

[@fukunaga-kane]

The idea of no fast travel is to “enjoy the journey, not the destination”. You might need to take things slow as if you’re playing Death Stranding.

[@Zwei22]

There is technical fast travel. Wakestones and carts allow you to fast travel to towns. Granted the wake stones cost 10,000 and I don't know how much ox cart rides cost. 10,000 may seem like a lot, and it is, but everything in the game is expensive in comparison. Apparently single armor pieces cost 10-30k easily early game. So we will have to see about the money cost but, if there is a way to farm money, you should be able to buy fast travel stones for towns at minimum.

[@Y4manata]

Im not worried about dynamic encounters cuz the first game did it fairly well, im more skeptical about how long until they get repetitive into the late game cuz it's a problem in the first game as well. I hope itsuno can back that claim up not just at early game only

[@mhswoocer]

I haven't finished the game but so far I am very impressed with the enemy variety, especially compared to the first game

[@AyJay123]

A Condensed, more immersive/interactive world has always been my favorite.

[@biggnesss7192]

5:19 as a troll I am deeply offended by the statement you made.

[@Divideogiochi]

Nobody tell him about the fast travel microtransaction DLC, I'm not saying that discredits the points made, but it definitely undermines the devs intentions as not artistic but rather commercial in nature.

[@mhswoocer]

Just wanna point out that to my knowledge, the dlc only adds port crystals, not ferry stones. Ferry stones are what you need to fast travel so even if you buy more port crystals, the amount you could fast travel would still be very limited. Equally, you can obtain port crystals in game for free. However this game is still pretty new so it's totally possible I'm missing something here

[@Divideogiochi]

@@mhswoocer that's really nice to know, when a friend pointed out that DLC i reacted without putting enough thought into it, I'll try not to spread misinformation further.

[@mhswoocer]

Don't worry about it, thanks for being so chill! Lots of people are having similar reactions and it's mostly just due to a lack of info

[@MegamanStarforce2010]

whats the music track playing with the opening

[@mhswoocer]

Ainstedd Archipelago: Granblue Relink

[@VegettoBlack]

Honestly really like the limited fast travel. Ive learned the terrain pretty good by now because i have to. Im loving it and it will be the last game i play before going back to elden ring for the dlc. Def an 8.5 outta 10 for me

[@Killerwhale317]

I'm playing it now and it feels weird, you cant start a new game, and it already froze twice.

[@WOMFT]

A real sequel with the same soul 😁

[@Wrathra]

What's the music track that plays at @2:35 ? I've heard it so many times but I just can't remember where. Monster Hunter World?

[@mhswoocer]

[@asafesseidonsapphire]

Do Dragon's Dogma 2 still has Gold Idols?

[@catlover7466]

I always told my friends that I make open world games way better for myself by completely eliminating the fast travel mechanics

[@mistermamamia]

Alright alright, I'm sold on the game. There was a lot of things I was apprehensive about but I really do think this could be a very fun open world. Excited to see all of what's possible!

[@fireblood4699]

Great work as always, you might have just sold me on the game

[@soulezwan266]

I play the first... I bet capcom probably gonna polish this game compared to the first 1.

[@Boofcan]

04:12 nice plug Swoocer 😂

[@davidn3054]

the combat options was what looked the most appealing to me when I first saw the trailers, great video. Also have you considered looking at a game called raw metal? it's a new stealth game that came out recently and I think it's up your alley

[@TheTraveler980]

I would enjoy seeing a hot take on Dragon's Dogma 2 vs Elden Ring.

[@ltheabyssl]

I would love too see your video comparing DD2 to ER

[@goobatroopa_]

Do I recognize Chain3d 3Choes music?

[@mhswoocer]

Yup!

[@primadansaripudin9269]

So, they really reduced the skill slot into 4 huh? now that's a huge downgrade

[@ryandeshazo]

I think it allows for more vocation switching/specializing within vocations for more specific purposes. I wouldn't pin it as a downgrade until we get to play it and see!

[@firefistgaming117]

Alot of skills turned into core abilities (can use them whenever) so not really a downgrade. Example, ayodyne the heal spell for mage is a core skill now

[@asafesseidonsapphire]

​@@firefistgaming117 Interesting, about that, how much did Mystic Archer changed, besides losing the Dagger related abilities?

[@firefistgaming117]

@@asafesseidonsapphire honestly After playing it a bunch my opinion is mixed on the matter, I think Ayodyne as core skill, Quick spell and Galvanize are legitimate game changers in how mages/sorcerers Operate in DD2. Despite losing the extra skill slots I feel they actually are pretty balanced with new system and work very well, Def more fun to play then DD1 Mage& Sorc IMHO (plus they can attack while levitating now which is dope). Buuut Every other class the lack of the other 4 Skills HURRRTS, Magic archer feels stronger in DD2 then in 1 sure, id wager Most the classes feel stronger then the DD2 counterparts and Mystic Spearhand is OP and fun af to play. But the 4 skills only per class kills creativity and Class differences I feel like and just isn't as "Fun" to run around with reduced skills, the core abilities for martial classes definitely don't make up for losing out on Daggers and such for Archers and Magic archer despite The Stronger abilities.

[@luigi7781]

Aa sombody who uses fast travel frequently in other games i enjoy the fact that this game forces you to explore insted of letting you fast travel all the time.

I actually think Dragons Dogma 2 isn’t that bad , although it’s my first time playing the series , it has a lot of features souls games could have but don’t , for exemple I like how u can grab on to enemies and climb on top of them and stab them , that’s orettt badass 💯

[@MrReaperofDead]

Nope. Open worlds don't suck. It's the Microtransactions and over inflated price for an out-of-date looking game. That's what sucks.

[@mhswoocer]

Which micro transactions do you think are a problem exactly? I know they exist in game and I should've mentioned them in the video since a lot of people seem a bit confused about their implementation.
