@@andrewbowser1506 Oh, really? That's weird. I never used it because I don't mind when the pawns repeat themselves in the first game. I saw it as their "catch phrases" lol.

I hope it gets better in DD 2 though (according to the devs, it's something they put specific effort into).

What a lot of people forget is that yes, during the day there are the usual boring enemies like goblins, wolves and harpies but at NIGHT the enemy types changes to zombies, skeletons and phantoms. Yes, they are the grunt types and not too challenging but many reviewers don’t mention the enemy changes at night time which gives the game a different feel and atmosphere.

[@pinkhamstercult]

1:00 Hell yes to the first game's character creation music. I put it on when I made the character in the demo.

[@callibor3119]

What’s going on nowadays is that todays games are being played like back in PS3 and 360 era, when games drop below 30 frames because of the intense particle effects, but most definitely with the PS3. The PS3 was powerful, but the focus wasn’t on faster frame rates or even better graphics, but how massive the game can be made. And PS3 is famous and infamous for massive open world games that play wonderfully gameplay wise, but tank hard in frame rates.

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

The more I learn about this game the more I'm interested in trying it. I'm intrigued by the Morrowind-esque lack of quest markers for example so it feels like it will play somewhat differently compared to other RPGs. Sounds interesting to me.

[@headwindshield]

The first game still had quest markers on your map and compass, so it's not like Morrowind where you have to actually read what's written in your quest log to get to where you need to be going. The quest markers are just not hovering over the relevant objects/NPCs in the game world itself.

[@mq5190]

Just make sure you get your character right from start, or you gotta spend some money ingame to change it... or pay via microtransaction...

I know this review is weeks old, but for the 'Prey for the Pack' quest you mentioned broke, did you take Rodge back to Morris? I didn't see the yellow NPC marker on your map so it doesn't look like the boy was with you, but you have to make sure he follows you all the way from the cave back to Morris to complete the quest. (Yeah, the wording 'inform Morris of Rodge's wellbeing' is misleading). I had the same problem with this quest and had to make 2 trips back to the cave for the boy, really annoying, lol.

Currently playing on PC with a PS5 controller because I heard about the console issues (about 25h in).There it runs quite smoothly at 60 FPS even in the big city. But I am not running at at the highest settings (running it on high). However I also heard of performance issues on PC. That is runs so poorly on consoles is a disgrace. Also thanks for the tip with the harpies. I was wondering how to reach those chests :D. Also an interesting choice not to mention the microtransaction that are masked as DLC. Currently I am not experiencing places where I am incentivised to buy. I am in no need of more rift crystals (you don't need them for summoning pawns at your level) and quick travel is very very cheap. So currently I cannot see game design decisions that were just made with the DLCs in mind which was a pleasant surprise. Maybe you felt the same so it wasn't worth mentioning. As always. Great video.

[@robertkarp2070]

I never liked Pawns. Like in theory i find the whole system cool - they learn stuff and then help others, but in actuall combat it feels like you playing singleplayer game were you playing 1/4 of the game, where pawns will fight for you, give you advice you'd rather learn yourself, it's like playing with random players a game i actually just want to play myself. It's not a turn-based party RPG where i controll every character, it just NPCs playing the game for me.. I played the first one on Hard up untill second round of DLC, where it's just becomes insane. But that's DD1 with broken item healing, i heard DD2's item healing is limited wich is good. In terms of solo-play the new universal class also sounds very fun, if you're alone it's more fun to have wide range of options.

Ok so, repeatedly heard you say, "...goblins, wolves, and harpies is all you'll see for the first several hours." I'm not disagreeing with you, if you stay on the main roads, but if you explore, what the game devs intended, that will not be the case. In my 3rd hour I went into a cave and fought multiple types of enemies, including a chimera. That's why dd2 is such a great game, everything is up to you as a player.

They took out way to many of the mage and sorcerers skills, while adding nothing. Vocations are horribly underwhelming, the armor choice was ultimately reduced. Then there's the matter of monster variety and locations. It all just comes together to be the most lackluster sequel you could make after a decade of fans waiting.

They added plenty and specialized classes to feel more unique, most skills that were “taken out” were either given to other vocations or made into core skills.

I also waited. But now I don’t care.

[@chaseduvernay1056]

Me personally, I’m getting rid of all my pawns beside maybe one healer/mage. I want to focus on more of the combat, can’t do that when my pawns jump and almost Instantly kill all the enemies lol

[@2551987ezio]

Been loving this game. Spend a half hour fighting a higher lvl minotaur with my pawn, some random pawn who happened to be in the area and a guy I was escorting with just a sliver of health. Was too stubborn to run away or come back with full health. 😂

[@deadkold]

thanks for being honest about performance, 100% going for pc, I regret getting helldivers 2 on ps5 cuz that game chugs as well especially on the highest difficulties

[@jaimeperry7326]

It's terrible on PC too ... refund.

[@deadkold]

@@jaimeperry7326 I'm lucky enough that my pc can play it, loving it so far @_@

[@jaypurrington6573]

only 3 mins in to the first review i've seen by you and you do such a good job at putting the reviewer in the situation you're speaking to, similar to how SkillUp does. Great pacing and writing. I'ma sub

[@danielsatter1805]

I was on the fence about getting this game for day one but I want to grab it so bad. I'm off work tomorrow too

[@dissuede6949]

Beware of performance issues and MTX. You need to pay real money to start a new game.

[@728kaos]

My PC runs ready or not at a strong 2fps sometimes. I've been waiting years for this game. I'd play it on PowerPoint

[@awilywolf]

Anybody know if we have the option for both inverted X and Y axes on console?

[@connorropp4947]

I've had zero problems with performance on PC since I got it. Also, the most annoying bug I've run into is escort NPCs that just stop following you, and I never notice until I get too far away

[@longlegcraig]

Is it true you can only have ONE save file? So if you start a new game, you lose your previous character?😅

[@jay-z5050]

Yes

[@yasch3696]

Not entirely. From what I have heard you can't start a new game. There is no "new game" button after you started your run. You have to disconnect from the cloud and delete you save files manually. I personally don't have a problem with it but can understand that thats pretty bad for a game in 2024.

[@kevinharvey9500]

I like the yellow paint to some degree, otherwise I find myself wandering aimlessly for hours to try and figure something out to just then give up and turn off the game.

[@TheFathomlessUnknown]

I fucking loved the first game and am hella excited to play this one! Nice vid Neon

[@3hristopher]

The entire pawn system is incredible the specialty aspect is also great

[@moerifai28]

Anyone know the name of the helmet in the thumbnail?

[@marklondon2008]

Pretty sure there will be performance patches released in the next few months. I'm not going to get it until it runs well (or better) on PS5

[@MrShellmarx1981]

Never found the skirmishes boring with the grunt packs simply becos I varied my vocation and tried using non meta move sets sometimes to the detriment of my health. The pawns I kept changing every 2-5 in game days and most of them always had new quest or geographic knowledge so wasn’t bothered to nitpick. Hopefully dd3 will have ChatGPT ai level discourse with npc

[@jameswright2623]

I play on an Xbox series X and have 88 hours clocked in on the game so far. I've had one noticeable frame rate drop during the masquerade quest and one crash when I used the rift stone in Vernworth and I have found 0 bugs as of yet. Maybe it is just luck or Rnjesus. Either way I hope they continue to smile on me for many more hours to come.

[@siffthegrey9990]

Helldivers 2 also has the same performance issues, fortunately DD2 seems ways more polished than that. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@jaimeperry7326]

It feels terrible to me ... gonna get a refund.

[@MrSpartan993]

It’s WORSE than Heldivers 2. I’ve tried both and only refunded Dragon’s Dogshit 2

[@Pepega90]

Seems like a great game to pick up after they will fix bugs and performance issues when it be at 50% off 👍

[@revolver2750]

@neonknight problem already been answered but the quest about saving the boy from wolves is finicky for me too. But when i carried the boy inside the quest triggered properly.

[@Frogdoddofficial]

MASTERWORKS ALL YOU CANT GO WRONG

[@Pass1ngStranger]

How about manticores and bandits those where very common in the first game

[@gowen7889]

we never had manticores we had chimeras

[@Pass1ngStranger]

There is a manticore, but yes the repeated enemy is the chimera
