I’ve done so many Daimon runs that I can’t be effed doing any more. I enjoyed DD2 and several of my first dragon fights were difficult. DD1 I just choose strider and defeat everything extremely easily. Baby mode.

​@@marcpolain9663 yeah I'd say on both games you have to tailor the experience to your tastes, cuz both have some really broken stuff, like mage/, sorcerer with holy focused bolt melting anything in BBI when you have a decent staff, blast arrows, throwblast etc you can trivialise both. That said I hope they add a proper hard mode and that they work on an expansion pack like dark Arisen

Yep, it was made for a newer casual audience that they wanted, and it worked. They got the sales amount they hoped for while older fans who kept the series alive are thrown to the side. Expect it to get worse like it did with Oblivion to Skyrim for DD3, more dumbing down and simplification. Another series lost that I'm not looking forward to anymore.

[@jrichards2542]

I'm kinda relieved I couldn't afford DD2. I only started playing DD last year and was so excited my new favorite game was getting a sequel so soon(soon for me). As a rule I never preorder or buy on day one, but I was going to make an exception for DD2. Finances didn't allow me to do so, thankfully(yay for being broke). So disappointing how it turned out. Maybe in a few years after some updates and I can pick it up for 5 bucks like I did the first one it will be better. BTW, your videos really added so much to my enjoyment of the game. I think I've watched almost all of them by now. I play with kb+m and really struggled with the controls at first and almost just quit completely, but I kept seeing your vids and it looked so fun. Finally got my gaming mouse setup where I could play decently and have had a blast since. Also, MK is my fav vocation but I had hell getting perfect block down. Kept rewatching your MK and perfect block vids until it finally all came together. So, thanks. Really appreciate how in depth you get.

[@ugn154]

I got back to DDDA over a month ago. It is good to be back, and It is good to know your videos are always there for reliable, exhaustive test proven info. DD1 is just unmatched when It comes to gameplay. I've been mostly trying to pull off crazy stunts like getting the Golem to fall off of the cliff and into the water. I managed to do It a couple of days ago, but I was on It so I had to jump off of It as It was falling or it would've been the brine for me 😅 I also go to the vallistas often cause I love seeing those big cyclops fall, and snipe the smaller goblins from far away. I'm also filling out all the stars in my pawn's bestiary, quests and travels since I noticed I still had a couple of 3 stars I needed. Like how the Dripstone cave 3rd star can only be unlocked by going through the back entrance during the first saurian quest. The next thing I wanna do involves bullying Griffons, which I managed to get one that just did not want to fly away, it was VERY pissed off at me and gave me the chance to see its different behaviors under different circumstances. I've also never tried holding unto it as it flies with enough stamina curatives. I better equip the grace augment for that 🤔

[@Mike-vl8zb]

You've been a handy tutor for 5 years but I concluded Dark Arisen offered more combat fun than DD2 so I don't even mention the Vanilla game any longer. Ryota Suzuki (combat designer) was Capcom's loss and since 2020 he's with Square Enix after 20 years with Capcom. Welcome back Nihil 0.0!

[@dmitrypavlov7096]

Thank you man for honest review. DD2 is such disappointment for any sane Dragon's Dogma fan. It's not remake, it's not reboot, it's more like an attempt to reinvent the wheel. If they'd took DDDA and ported it to new engine, polished the main story, added few nice game mechanics, slightly rebalanced the vocations, improved the pawn's chatter it would be a way better game than this. Luckily we still have DDDA and DDO revival project to play.

[@nightsage217]

quarry and shadow fort are probably my favorite. i like killing big stuff, and the quest alone allows me to kill 3 ogres, 1 dragon, 3 cyclops, and too many goblins.

[@yeoldegamer5112]

I only really got into playing DD:DA tihs year. Played about 10 hours 4 years ago and didn't get it. This year it really sucked me in. I'm more a casual player (2nd run on normal) with 436 hours and lvl 155-ish. It's replaced Warframe as my go-to game after 2,800 hours. From what I've seen of DD2 in reviews, discussions etc it looks like a reboot of the original DD with nicer graphics and animations (due to a modern engine) made by a team consisting of hardly anybody who made the original or can remember playing it extensively. It's like Porsche making a small sports car after 10 years of SUVs only. The engineers who had the knowledge and experience have moved on years ago. The manufacturer doesn't know what made the previous cars great so creates a vague approximation in the hope that it will be "good" enough for the market. I'm definitely in no hurry to play it. I'd rather wait for an expanded, reworked DD2 Dark Arisen in a few (4,5?) years time. And if that doesn't happen, well I'll wait for it to be in a bargain bin sale I guess. Maybe I'll get around to reducing my Pile of Shame instead 😉

[@sendkelp]

i admire your passion Nihil you hit the nail right on the head every time

[@dmac93065]

Nihil, I completely agree that DD:DA is objectively better across the board, with graphics being the sole exception. I don't know how Itsuno and his team whiffed so badly on the sequel. They literally had a successful blueprint in-hand and over a decade worth of player feedback to guide them on a sequel. I hate to say it, but Dogma 2 feels like it was exclusively built around what Itsuno initially wanted DD:DA to be, and gamers were expected to get onboard whether they liked it or not.

[@marcpolain9663]

DD1 is my favourite action rpg of all time and I still enjoyed DD2.

right there with you, still many interesting paths to take playing through 1 I exhausted DD2 in a week did some challenge runs to get 'late game' vocations on a fresh char don't really feel like going back to actually 'play' it again even with what I felt like was a cool start..

[@Razortail2000]

As someone that played the dickens out of Dragon's Dogma before it even had DLC and lost the heart to pick it back up again after my 360 died, and my saves with it, your videos have consistently struck the right balance of familiarity to make me feel nostalgic for it but also inspiring enough to come back and try things differently. I still hold hope with a little time they'll fill out 2 with a DLC that gives it as much renewed life as Bitter Black did for 1, and maybe give some use to the emptiness you mention. But in the meantime I can't help but kinda be excited to see you play 1 again while I'm clearing it myself as well!

I'm still not sure if I'm going to get DD2. Maybe one day? Everything I've seen makes me feel like I'd only be playing it for the graphics (I like the way it looks) and the fact that I love DD1. But with all the videos I've watched on KZbin, I can't help but feel that I'd rather play the first again. My biggest critique as a watcher only, lol, is that it does seem a little too easy? There have been many times in DD1 where I've actually run from enemies out of fear lol. But I don't get that sense from DD2. A lot of the bigger monsters seem slower and not as menacing. The thing with DD1 too is that I've barely scratched the surface even though I've been playing it for so long. I've barely explored BBI because of my commitment issues (I always wanna restart lol) and I'm so indecisive about my Pawn / Vocations, where I spend my time, etc. I also love the story and side quests in DD1. I still remember all of them by heart.

[@baanfrey]

I don’t want to give up on DD2 cause as much as the story and quests were a let down, they weren’t amazing in DD1 either. DD1 was just decently coherent and had an actual conclusion to the plot threads they introduced. DD2 just introduces plot points and never addresses most of them; they’re only used as an excuse to get you to point A to point B. Despite that, I feel at least DD2’s gameplay can be addressed with a DLC. If they add a proper endgame like BBI and hard mode to DD2 with new vocations and old Vocations that reuse existing weapons in new ways I think my main issues with the game would be resolved. As of now the gameplay is just too 1-dimensional and there is no proper endgame to push the combat to its limits.

As far as i remember Hard mode affects damage they do to you, their poise and everything stamina wise you do (only thing i really dislike as it eats tons of stamina to do anything) while giving you tons of money (so you can get gear/items and make the mode far easier then normal). It does not affect aggression of the opponents at all. also.... why did dd2 not have a hardmode? its not like they did much in DDDA with hardmode and it was badly thought out there too.
