>I played the first dd and I found it confusing
Same for me. I don't appreciate TES style quest marker handholding but some of the early DD quests were hard because of unclear objective parameters. Might have been lost in translation. The presentation and controls suffered from Capcom-ism too; felt like a medieval total conversion for Dead Rising

All I heard of DD2 is that it's an "OK" game with a bullshit difficulty designed to get people to buy gems or whatever.

>the game has micro transaction
shit game

It runs like shit in the cities even on high end PCs which is where some of the hate came from.
Besides that though it was just underwhelming and has a lot of the same issues the first one did before Dark Arisen and in some ways is even worse. If you didn't like Dark Arisen I doubt you'll like this one.

I recall summer of 2015… Stream_Wiz streamed DDDA.. He got forced in to dialogue with some black, said "oh it's this nigger"… Nigger mentioned someone named Balsac and streamer_wizard laughed at the name being ballsack.

you know what, maybe the game is trash or meh but microteansactions are a big no to me

>>61578
I ain't disagreeing with you.
Just adding on to all the negatives the company pulled involving that game.

The only games where microtransations don't bother me is shit like F2P MMOs and other such games using the F2P model.

If I payed a retail price for the game then I should get the full experience of the game without being nickled and dimed.

I tried the first game and thought it was mind numbingly boring

I watched streamers play it. Everyone says it starts off good but the second 2/3 of the game are unfinished and boring. Very few enemy types. It has Denuvo so it cant be pirated probably for 6+ months minimum. I lost interest.

I watched a streamers review of it and even though he said it's shit I'm tempted to play it anyway because I love mythological creatures and these types of games. He said you fight the same enemies over and over and entering cities makes fps crash so I guess I'll wait for it to go on sale during steams summer sale because it's too expensive atm.

>have you played dd2 yet?
I finished the game yesterday. There are problems inside the cities where the performance tanks really bad, but if you can enable frame generation you can workaround this, outside the cities it runs as it should, so it seems like a problem with too many human NPCs walking around. You could get swarmed by enemies out in the wild where weather effects and lightning, etc. are happening and you won't see the problem occur.

The game is carried by the gameplay and exploration, which is really good, it's a bit more streamlined than the first one so I think newer players will have a better time playing this one instead.

The microtransaction drama was overblown, you can buy camp kits and teleport stones, but those items are also available in game for regular gold and are very cheap, you also find a ton of them in chests and rewards, the cash shop is just there for lazy people. It shouldn't be there in the first place, but it's nothing that really affects gameplay, there are a lot of other games that have much worse cash shops and people seem to not care about them.

ok so what's your feeling about the game overall? also why a new game is having problem with tones of npc but old game like assassin's creed don't have any?! lol.
>exploration
isn't the map of the game the same as the first dragon's dogma?
or I'm completly wrong

>>61569
It's fun, there's more climbing mechanics but the camera is a little more awkward than the first game for some reason

If you like games like MH you will enjoy this for sure, it's one of those games that you play for the gameplay and not so much for story.

>also why a new game is having problem with tones of npc but old game like assassin's creed don't have any?! lol.
Bad optimization. You could get swarmed by hundreds of enemies out in the wild plus some dragon shows up and the game will run smoothly, but the moment you enter the main city performance tanks.

>exploration. isn't the map of the game the same as the first dragon's dogma? or I'm completly wrong
The map is like 3 times bigger at least and it's better structured. The first one has better story and endgame (but this is because the first game comes with the DLC already), also has more jobs and abilities, but the second game feels better to play in my opinion.
