This is the first Sandbox RPG I've played where the repetition actually killed a playthrough. I haven't even seen a good 60 percent of the world but it I just can't be bothered to boot this up again without a massive content overhaul.

I think the most damning thing with 2 for me personally is that despite everything this game somewhat improved on, i keep asking myself 'why wouldn't i just play the first game again'

The mix of anger and bafflement in your voice is pretty great

Haha, classic Silent Hill, always reinforcing its themes and ideas through subpar dialogue!

sure g.o.t. is a gorgeous game, but the gameplay/combat mechanics are very shallow at best. I'd rather play Kenshi instead of this "AAA" game.

Honorable mention? The broken fast travel system. Where you can buy a 15,000gp ferrystone waypoint crystal, that RANDOMLY DOESN'T WORK during certain parts of the story. I arrived at the Volcanic Campsite, excitedly set down my crystal and ported back to Vermund. After recruiting some of my favorited pawns that are only accessible through a major riftstone... I tossed my ferrystone into the sky, only to be told that I'm, "not allowed to access the volcano crystal at this time", when the game LET ME SET IT DOWN AS A WAYPOINT ONLY MOMENTS BEFORE. I then had to WALK BACK to the VOLCANO for like 2 HOURS, re-slogging through dozens of pointless encounters and recycled enemies. I will never forget that moment. Deep betrayal and cuckery. I thoroughly enjoyed certain parts of this game... and others damn near made me throw my controller, for the first time in a decade. Wtf Capcom? Thank you for your honest criticisms. This analysis made me feel seen.

:3

Just like with the first game, I could've forgiven so many of its shortcomings if the combat was good. And people were saying in previews how the combat felt the same as the original. Cool, I thought! So it's gonna feel chunky and snappy. ...Huh??? No, compared to the first game the combat feels floaty, stodgy, and unbelievably clunky. You can't jump cancel end lag, skills that were brought back were stripped down to feel worse, and it's way too easy to get stunlocked in this game. The ragdoll physics ended up ruining the weight of combat, and having only 4 skills instead of 6 really started to hurt the longer I played it for. Just like with being a mix of friction and dumb fun, it felt like they wanted to have combat with more animation commitment and strategy but still wanted to have it be a snappy, fast-paced action game like the first one. In trying to do both, they completely botched how it felt. I still haven't beaten it. The game wanted me to deliver something to a guy in an area I wasn't allowed to be in so I just gave up. If this game was Itsuno's true vision then that's fair. But his statement about fast travel comes off as arrogant in hindsight. My concerns for this game started when it was stated that it'd be 4 times the size of the original and I was right. And Dark Arisen's been my favourite game for 10 years so this game just made me sad. If nothing else, its upcoming release prompted me to build a PC so that's something!

A demo for what?

DAMN, I'm really glad I checked this game out from a library instead of buying it. It looked really cool, but then I kept seeing issues that I feel like should have been fixed back in the 2010s. I'm a lot more skeptical abou massive triple A open world games, so I don't really buy em anymore. Thanks for this video, I won't be wasting any more time on this. Its about time to play my indie games now.

i played through it. my criticism with this title: - the world looks very drab and basic / "normal"... - visually, theres no strong style identity. - if you lose your companions, you are in trouble. you can't easily get them back on the field - and the gameplay becomes very tideous and may feel "unfair". - the repeating dialogues.... suck. sorry. maybe it's too early for a game like that, maybe they should have added an actual AI chatbot... so NPCs don't always, always repeat themself... - camping equipment and being overweight. ( for me, not fun ) - just overall very very bland characters... most NPCs treat you badly... what I liked: - enemy weak spots / satisfying criticals . - meet other players' character models - you can f*ck up all NPCs you feel deserve it with little to no consequences... I destroyed all the jail guards, for putting me to jail for literally no reason (maybe the AI glitched out, no idea) . anyway , it was a slaughter. That jail was abandoned afterwards.

I got a good 130 hours out of maxing out the vocations. After that it just got boring fighting the same few enemies over and over and over again

The last scripted chase sequence got boring after I kept dying over and over I just uninstalled it and watched the ending on UA-cam. P.T Demo was amazing. But not this heap of crap.

Why Germany? It doesn't make sense for it to play in Germany. The furniture is absolutely not german. Most schools don't have lockers. And if they do, they look completely different. Where are the obnoxious schooltables? The writing on the doorframe? Why isn't she being bullied because of her ethnicity? (Problem of the rural areas..) I guess they chose Germany to be cool and different.

Im similar, i LOVED the first 15-20 hours so i decided to go for the plat bc thats what i do when i really enjoy a game. And usually, that feeling even through the platinum journey, doesnt ever really fade and i finish with some happiness of seeing everything in a game I enjoyed and even tend to go back from time to time. However with this game, by the time i finished, i set up a good pawn quest and deleted the game with absolutely no desire to go back. I might if we get a dlc, but i shared A LOT of gripes that you had as well and honestly it left more of a sour taste once i finished.

A playable teaser? A PT if you will

This game legit made me turn to pirating games from now on. Its the first game i ever preordered due to the hope of a better more fledged out dd1 feeling. Funny enough i always laughed at preorderers and now here i am the idiot.

Silent Hill should have been laid to rest 2 decades ago...

You have to have a very high IQ to understand The Short Message. These insults might not register for someone of the idiot persuasion, but for a classy, erudite individual, it cuts to the bone. It brings back all the slander and toxicity from fourth grade into sharp relief, and these insults carried more weight then than harsher jabs do now. Yet another "gamer" failing to receive the actual message of The Short Message.

I enjoy dd2.. personally I can 100% agree with the story tho.

Bro this is the first video I have watched from your channel and I quite like it. I totally agree with your opinion especially the last part where the game set in Germany, spoken in English and the cast of the character are Japanese XD. Immediately subscribe after finish this video. keep up the good work

Quite literally the monster's design is the singular thing they did right here. Which is completely unsurprisingly given Masahiro Ito's involvement. I honestly liked this less than that live stream garbage. At least that was unintentionally funny.

Elden Ring sucks compared with DD2. I have 800 hours into this game. . You dont mention grim minotaur,Gorecyclops,Dullohan etc

Cock and Bull. You havent been to unmoored world yet have you.?

Tbf, it would be a but too comical if the wall had "L bozo, no likes you fell off" "use the like to show how many dislikes she can get" while also having a bunch of slurs and creative insults. Which is a shame that they didnt because we could potentially make it a comedy at this point with how the story gets shoveled more than a ditch in the military

@Chris, what games do you think are worth buying rn?

I think Capcom forced the dev team to release this early. It seems like alot is missing. It's scary when the title screen doesn't even say Dragons Dogma 2. I feel they are gonna release a $40-$50 DLC that has all the content and updates that are missing so they can squeeze more money out of this flawed remake, sequel. Smh...maybe ill just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds

After about 8 hrs I'm getting bored of this game. Enemy types all the same. Bland character acting, the world feels quiet and dull npcs robotic and one dimensional. I'm gonna return it and wait for DLC.

It's crazy how everyone was talking about this game non stop before release, all the youtubers with early copies glazed it, and now it feels like no one talks about Dragon's Dogma 2. A dead on arrival kind of game.

Gaming these days is scared to let the player figure anything out for themselves

When it comes to campfires, your camp can be destroyed randomly if you haven’t cleared the area you haven’t played the game enough to come access that situation me thinks

Yeah I knew Konami was about to flop when they got rid of Hideo. And I never made it to the chase... scratch that... I never made it to the horror aspect of the game cause the main characters dialogue cringed me out the game literally by the 3rd room I visited.

Hold up I wanna hear more about the battle pass 😂😂😂

Just finished my 72 hour play through. Overall I had a good time with it, I had played the first one so it met my low expectations with enemy variety and quest design. But yeah by the end game I felt like I was just sprinting to the next interesting quest marker as fast as possible. I thought the masquerade and palace sneaking quests were a cool idea, but they were so convoluted and had unclear requirements to work that I ended up just running circles in the city for three hours. The Talos fight was so goofy, I was halfway across the map, ended up googling to find out that it was a time limited quest so I just sprinted frantically after them and caught the tail end of the fight. The quest design was... Pretty confusing. All in all though, I still enjoyed the combat mechanics for a laid back afternoon, and the cinematic endings still had me hyped up for the finale. (Though... Only 3 boss designs for the finale? Really) All this to say, felt a lot like when I played the first game, just with a bigger world, different angle, and some hidden gems.

Okay but does it have a better story to lore ratio than Elden Ring? I'd like to have seen a chart to help me understand this.

Hence why it's free just like PT it's a playable teaser for potential projects.

Wait so the game take place in germany and the characters are all japanese, but right now Japan is pointing fingers at Ubisoft for having Yasuke as a character ?

Silent Hill? Nah this Loud Mountain

Yeah, the whole closet sequence with the mom really made me go, ah, so that's why she's traumatized, as if being bullied at school wasn't enough

I'm not sure how you don't have 50k+ subs but your content is absolutely amazing

Great video! For me The Game it's a huge step back, first Game wasnt perfect, but i hoped a second part had more vocations and enemys

Yes…YES…let the hatred flow through you.

I’m not sure how I missed that this was supposed to take place in Germany. This game is just so egregiously bad it’s hilarious

I´m one of those players who has done game ng+++ and level 200 character. I have to agree everything and want to give extra info what you may have missed in combat section. Some perspective i´m fan of first game that i bought it twice for xbox 360 and pc. I´n combat section you missed huge part what is. Boss enemies have huge weaknesses. Once you know these you can dominate all of them easy. You can pull or push unstable huge enemies you hear small sound when its doable. Also body part moves. For sample when cyclops is on knees you can pull its hand to fully collapse it. Griffing dies nearly instantly explosive arrow head when stunned. Medusa can be instantly killed with intact head with sleeping spell. Then use slashing attack head it detaches full health medusa. Silence spell stuns and disables lot of abilities and even flying. Drake special skills can be stopped by silence or sleep. Also grabling system is there. Canines like meat drop some for them and they stop attacking. Golems has same system from cyclops but fancy extra if you collaps them with grabling. They lose head. Also you can overheat golems by attacking flame attacks toward magic disc. So it releases cooling animation. Like game has lot of things in game. But problem is its so well hidden that i only knew this nearly 200 level and by pawn doing them. Like my pawn was mostly my tank and it just started pulling and grabling giants like nothing. I wondered why is huge monsters eating dirt. Also strong attacks to weak spots cause massive dmg. But anyways. Some of my perspective toward this game. I find this game poorly thought out and even some parts disaster in game design. Like whole selling dlc and in general experience of game. I´m not saying is game is god awful. But game needed better system what combines each others goods parts together. Like in your review you explained whole risk / reward system. But in general experience of game. Like early on in this game you will be having some good experience as exploration and some challenge is a thing. But once you hit level 50 past that system just collapses. This game can have player level up 999 level and your characters stats will be capped around 200 level maybe even earlier if you go shrine... Items lose importance as you cannot improve them or purpose of that system like in general dies. Why have different sword when at max you can get magic element to it. Nothing else... When story is awful slob like in you review spoke about game has to much systems what constantly insults players time. Worst part of this game is lack of enemy variety with interesting challenge. Dragon dogma 1 you could kill metal golems what we´re immune all magic. Beast what curses you with death if you do not carry correct supplies. There was city size monsters... This game removed all that. With god awful xp farm curve. Only way you earn levels in this game is this. You get medusa bow. Do ng++++ and collect sphinx reward rings with extra gains. Also to go get drake blood currency buff... Go murder hobo either archerf or waywarer.... Just i grinded rest 130 levels with that it was assenying. Bow gives only xp on kills... In general if game was infinite farm with infinite progress. I could have played this like 500 levels no problem. But its not. Its game what is chained up with bad ideas what does not build up experience it limits it. I know some reason why for sample stats no longer infinitely grow... SImply because they wanted dodge min/max problem. But they could thing better system. They could honestly given players who has done ng+ reward leviate burden toward player. But no. They make it so clear you never gain nothing good form your deeds... This is how i feel about game. Also FFS game lacks character creation present save. While they sure remember sell you book to change appearance but no ability to save them...

Korok seeds

That wolf quest was dumb

BRO IS RIGHT

The pathfinding needs to be addressed asap! It’s probably the worst I’ve seen in any game for about 6 years.

Chris Rivera should also have mentioned the historical inaccuracies in GoT, yes I know this isn't a historical documentary game. But still: - Katana wasn't even "invented" in the game's year, 1274. The swords during that time in Japan were tachi, the tachi was longer and curvier than a regular katana. By the time of Mongol invasions, tachi blades were having a hard time penetrating Mongolian armor because it was too brittle or not sharp enough. In response, the katana was created because of that, an upgrade of tachi. (Although in Japanese dub, they called swords as "tachi") - Hwacha wasn't even a Mongolian weapon, that rocket launcher was created in Goryeo (Korea) in the late 16th century. The hwacha was a response when Japan invaded Korea, making it IRONIC to use in the game! - Haiku wasn't a thing yet in the 13th century in Japan, it started in the 17th century. - Bushido (the samurai code) was properly developed and structured in the Edo period. - Some of the armor design seems to be anachronistic, Samurai Clan Armor is reminiscent of the armor worn by samurai in the Sengoku period, while the Sakai Clan Armor is a scaled armor that was mainly used for ceremonial purposes and was first seen around 16-17th centuries. - There are no Mongolian cavalries here or even horseback archers, which is weird that was what their army was known for. Sure there are Mongols in horses in GoT, but when they see Jin, those guys immediately dismount their horses to fight on foot? - Lack of samurai archers, only Ishikawa Sensei and Jin. And I find it disappointing too, since a samurai was originally an archer on horseback, and they also used naginata (glaive) and yari (spear). Their swords were just for secondary purposes. In the part of the game's opening of Jin riding with other samurai on Komoda beach, I kept sighing and hitting my head because I didn't see any archers on horseback! - I'm not sure about this but... I believed trousers weren't still invented, there were some civilians in GoT wearing slim pants, and the only proper legwear at that time was hakama (the baggy pants).

Honestly, I feel like Assassin's Creed Shadows has already better mechanics or designs than Ghost of Tsushima for some reasons: - The map is larger and towns or settlements feel more alive (yes I know Shadows is in Central Japan, and GoT is set in Tsushima) - More varied combat options for Yasuke (he can use spears and war club than just pure katana) and Naoe (she has kusarigama, not only katana) - Yasuke can use a fcking rifle - Naoe has more stealth options and her shinobi kit - Different seasons I mean even older AC titles have better and a lot content than GoT (despite being a copy cat of Ubisoft games), like AC2 is still better than GoT
