Dragon's Dogma 2 - Master Archer Gameplay - PC

Welcome back to some more Dragon's Dogma 2. For this video I wanted to show some archer gameplay. As you can see it can be very powerful and a lot of fun. I've been enjoying this game a lot and I'm looking forward to trying more of the classes out soon. Let me know if you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching :D

[@brandonfleming10]

This game seems like everything I've always wanted, It's a single player, no multiplayer , no invasions and lot's of replayability.

[@amysteriousviewer3772]

Not really repayable as you can only have one character and there is no way to delete your character and start over.

[@banyanyas839]

@@amysteriousviewer3772 im kinda sick seeing this kind of comment now, there IS a NG+ and your level cap is 999. so it DOES provide replayability

Ah finally a game where the archer actually attacks from distance

[@buttergolem8584]

Yeah but I kinda miss the Strider class from the first game were it was Thief mixed with Archer.

[@Mrz_gotban]

​@buttergolem8584 you mean the assassin

[@cheralukiran]

it has multiple play styles

@@JLG35X that’s good. I’m just glad to see archers that does not run backwards while shooting. 😂

[@TempestRyuno]

Going from a vocation like Fighter to Archer makes it feel like a completely different game, I love that about this game. Was annoyed at first when they separated daggers and bows but I can see the appeal now.

[@user-tn3cy4tc6r]

Bro I love how clean you play

[@eddiet.4979]

this game so gooddd, great video btw

[@Rudoculus]

Excellent work!

[@joestar99]

Dude I include your gameplay videos in my final decision to buy a game so many times

[@djaesir]

I had a feeling Swifty would be playing the more agile classes like archer or thief. I think you should definitely try a warfarer build with bow and daggers like it was with the strider class in the first game.

[@WanderingRagabond]

The only archer vocation I respect. The one who actually needs to aim.

[@andyroland83]

not really you can play archer without aiming becuz it autoaims for you

[@InfamousTub]

@@andyroland83 No it doesn't. The arrows have generous hitboxes, but if you want to hit enemy weakspots, you can't just spam the attack button. You have to aim at them. I'm not saying it's hard, Archer is probably the best/easiest class in the game for damage, but what you said is just objectively false.

[@andyroland83]

@@InfamousTubread it again what i said plz. i said you can play without aim i didnt say you have to. but yeah to hit headshots and all the weakspots off course you have to aim.

Did you just stab an exploding arrow in to its head at 9:35? Ive literally just bought the game. I wish to learn

[@stasis760]

how did you fix the awful mouse accel and buffering

[@florin-alexandrustanciu5643]

I played archer the first time and I never got what the signal is for deathly arrow to fire sometimes I launched it perfectlly by anticipating when the whit glow will blip so I can release at the same time, warrior on the other hand has like a second in which you can release and get the yellow blip with extra damage

[@meejmuas8686]

When the cyclops falls forward onto its knees, you can push the elbows to make it fall flat. This will get you the best damage when he falls down flat Also, when he stumbles then sits down, you can use a charged deathly shot to knock his head backwards into the ground.

[@druzillacon6977]

Making archer look fun!!!

[@Rastapopoulos2939]

Question, havent played this myself, are the animations on for example that eagle-foe always that choppy? And does anyone know the specs on this pc?

[@TetsuZwei]

The Griffin's animations were choppy because the Archer was using the "spiral arrow" skill which lodges itself in the Griffin and then repeatedly applies hits. Because the arrows were lodged in the griffin's weakspot, the game kept applying hitstop for each tick of damage which just makes it look choppy as long as the arrow kept drilling there.

[@kira16052]

can steady shot aim with mouse?

[@erosenigma7]

Did u speed up the video?

[@Doodoovessel]

Bro didn’t even do any of the stylish jump kick bow hits, or running jumping rolls. It got me a sec to get used to playing archer but man sometimes they can look cool.

[@AkrabSouls]

Aye is the performance bad on your pc? I have a 4090 it’s barely can get a constant 60.

[@RyanHDo]

Are you doing 4k or 1440? I'm getting a stable 80-90 fps outside of cities on 1440 with a 3080 on ultra settings

[@jrwilliams7749]

@@RyanHDo No sir. I’m doing 2k n barely getting constant 60 until I downloaded this mod on nexus. Now I’m getting 100+.

[@gnarlytrxstan]

It’s cpu not gpu. If you have a cpu that’s over $550 you won’t have stuttering p much. There’s a lot of cpu bottlenecking going on from what I’ve read. Mods can help as well. Devs are also trying to work on it. Other devs said the engine wasn’t made to have high density npc populated areas and the cities or high enemy count fights cause most of the stuttering because of the load being put on the cpu not the gpu

[@silencekali3732]

I wish us archers had one more master skill although the one we have is all we could want

[@ehsteve231]

Really nice gameplay, but this kind of highlights my main problem with DD2: Difficulty balance I was in a sweet spot where most monsters were challenging me for the first 6-8 hours or so, now I've leveled up, gotten better, geared up, and nothing but drakes pose a big threat (but drakes are definitely tough as hell). I didn't look up guides or anything... it just feels like you get overpowered way too quickly.

[@Sarcasticjab]

You must have not faced a dullahan yet, they are way harder than drakes, but way rarer.

[@rumpledik2254]

@@Sarcasticjab It's a really cool boss too. Too bad it's not often you find it unless you get a the hidden ending

[@botero01]

go solo oor just one pawn, use shittier gear

[@ehsteve231]

@@botero01 I've thought about doing that, but I hate when games force you to handicap yourself artificially, especially when it means disengaging from one of the core mechanics. It'd be one thing if I was in NG+ looking for an extra challenge; I'm not even halfway through the game, and I'm forced to artificially manipulate the difficulty to have fun

[@ehsteve231]

@@Sarcasticjab I'm sure that's a fun fight; idk how many more goblins, saurians, harpies, and trolls I can take to get there when they die in 2 hits but do zero damage to me

its not a gpu heavy game so you dont need that good of a graphics card but it is a heavy CPU game so get one that's good and you will be fine. alot of people keep complaining that they have a 4090 GPU but the GPU DOES NOT MATTER THAT MUCH it's a CPU heavy game
