hey, you're the first one to show the brine. i'm serious, in some footage enemies fell into the water and died but we never saw the visual of you or pawns falling in with the unique lore justification for you not being able to swim. some may have hoped that it was gone, since with the lore that's kind of iffy but nope it's back.
Literally the least expected most hoped for game release of my entire life. The first game had a certain magic that just grabbed me and never let go. Before the announcement last year it was only in my wildest dreams that we’d be getting a sequel. It would’ve been one of my three wishes on a genie’s lamp and Itsuno has granted that wish.
‘Ear ye, ‘Ear ye, His Grace, Hideaki Itsuno has ‘imself said that they will announce the release date of Dragon’s Dogma 2 tomorrow at the showcase. Stay tuned, fellow Arisens. - Infinite Cringe!
Not only do I like what we see, I find myself actually approving of what they've decided to show us so far. We're only getting our first real looks into DD2 and I'm glad they had the foresight to focus on showing us that it is still a Dragon's Dogma game. I will be very excited when they start showing us new stuff of course, but it's kind of a relief to see that so much of DD's identity is being maintained.
Hearing that the pawns have way more personality, and are way smarter compared to before, is just so amazing! The fact that the pawn ignored your call for help, just to continue fighting, may suck at the exact moment, but I LOVE the fact that it gives them more personality! Also them saving you at certain points is such an great feature! I am so hyped for this game!
I'm always surprised that they don't mention that the Pawns are created and designed by other players and you hire them out, and other players hire your personal Pawn as well.
Hands down the best combat of any RPG I've ever played. Looks like an amazing sequel to me. I like they didn't change the game too much. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Maybe time to return to the original finish my last playthrough.
Man, Dragon's Dogma is the only game where I played for 100% of achievements. Coils of Light was a fucking BANGER song. Obviously I'm excited for the game itself, but I cannot WAIT to see what they have in store for the soundtrack.
I really love the adaptive combat tracks from the first game, eternal return and coils of light were bangers too. Hopefully we'll get more adaptive exploration music too.
Looking forward to Dragon's Dogma 2, it's the other Elden Ring for me. Hope it has Ryota Suzuki, the same combat director who did the 1st Dogma and FF16.
I would like to see the character creation screen, once that is revealed. The options to make your character tall/short, thin/heavy, etc. was really unique, especially for the time. I hope they’ve given that some nice QoL updates, like saving character designs. That would be nice.
@@bryanbrown5081 That would suck, because monster Hunter world and rise creation is way worse than Dragon’s Dogma even though they were released more recently.
Hopefully the world is more full and there are more diverse enemies. The last game was fun but the world felt empty and a constant “careful! wolf hunts in packs!”
I don’t think the game lack diversity of enemies but more so diversity in how we encounter them. Knowing that when you go around the corner there will be goblins/wolves lying in wait made the game repetitive and the pawns redundant. Hopefully they fix this in DD2 with more diverse encounters. Though I would welcome more type of enemies all the same.
Ok I'm only two minutes in and these combat/fighting animations look incredibly good! The rogue (I think) sitting on top of an enemy to stabby-stab and just now that spear twirling *chef kiss*
The pawn syatem in the first game was amazing. It was cryptic, and difficult to wrap your head around. But once you did, the pawns were all-stars! So much fun to play with.
I think most ppl equated the pawn system to having a follower in Skyrim or companions in Dragon Age. Which to a certain degree it was when hiring other pawns. Though when creating/training our own pawn it wasn’t the case, our main pawn actually a mirror of our character. Therefore our main pawn should always be a similar vocation to our character and not made to fill a position we might need. It’s even hinted at the start of the game, with the unknown arisen and his pawn being same vocation, then summoning pawns to fill the position that are needed. “Basically, a flight instructor not suited for training a person to become a doctor.”
I'm more excited for this than any other game in the foreseeable future. I was on board day one with the original and love that game. I remember turning it on and EVERY time listening to the song in the beginning screen. It was a shame that they took it out of the Dark Arisen version.
@@michailvolski5035 who knows, maybe they'll collaborate with the band again? If you haven't you should check it out being played live by the band. Its called Into Free by Dangan.
Dragons Dogma is one of the few games that I have 4k plus hours, and the thing I look forward to the most is the vocations. Also, if they bring back ferry stones and lift stones, then the ox cart will brine irrelevant secret two or three playthrough. Also I hope they keep the cyclical NG+... People will riot otherwise
I absolutely have to play Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen. Watching these previews has made it jump up in my backlog considerably and I've been looking fro anew ARP that isn't either isometric, or Souls-like. I am stoked for this to get a reease date! Thanks for sharing!
My only concern is that the Strider appears to have been split into the Archer and Thief vocations - hopefully there will be a hybrid vocation that allows you to use both daggers AND a bow w arrows
I’ve been playing since release and I just started my first sorcerer play through just about a month ago and it’s been so much fun, but stoked for the lance class! My only wish is that DD2 will have an epic J Rock intro!
So incredibly hyped to play this. This is the sequel I have always wished for. I’m shocked that it’s actually real as I’d long given up hope. There’s something special about that first game that I’ve never experienced in any other game. The ending alone still blows my mind. I still re-play it at least once a year.
Extremely interesting and well-done. It gives me the kind of LoTR feeling. Travelling, recruiting pawns and exploring in a world that has a scent of retro fantasy, like the old book covers with the great illustrations.
Dragons Dogma was my childhood and holy crap! The hype is real for me and this sequel is beyond words! I haven't been thus hype since 2018's Infinity War! Such a fan and the moves, magick, enemies, everything looks incredible!
This is going to be the best game of all time. At least for me. Everything I see just shouts quality and love. It's evident that this is passion project for Itsuno, and with the sequel he will manage to realize that. The only thing I don't really like is the lack of any form of swimming, but it's nothing compared to the spectacle I witness in every video
Honestly i hope there are more vocations for the pawns. Having 3 vocations and then just the better versions of those vocations never felt like much to me
One change I hope they make from the first game is let us choose which stats to increase when leveling instead of increasing stats based on your current vocation. It made min/max leveling for a specific class a bit of a chore in the first game. I don’t want to level a sorcerer to 100 just to have a min/maxed magic archer. I love spear classes though so I know which class I’m playing already.💪🏼
I would rather have them to get rid of stats growth period. Instead, depending on your level when you change vocation it would just give you sought stats for that vocation at that level. Seeing how stats really didn’t matter after reaching level 200 and equipping improved gear.
I just want unlimited stamina outside of combat like how ER did it. That's my only complaint of the first game is constantly having to rest while exploring and trying to get somewhere because you walk very long distances sometimes.
Pawns will help you when your stamina is low but itsuno said that all of your pawns will have different personality you should take care of them but they love you for being their master😊😂
I think developers are realizing they can make money if they just give the cult classics a fucking chance, and funding. "N-N-NOOO IT HAS TO BE A FORTNITE CLONE ONG!"
I loved dragons dogma. Im sk hyped. Im happy to see theres a visual tracker for discipline points this time since you had to go into the status menu to see how many you gain and calculate on your own, and itll make grinding easier. I hope the assassin vocations makes a return
I’m waiting to see the QoL changes (pawn IQ, map structure, etc.) and UI changes to the menu. I really hope they add Multiplayer down the line; maybe as a separate expansion if it can’t be added to the main game.
The devs already said they are not going to do that. The best hope for a multiplayer dragon’s dogma experience is another DD:online that has an international release.
I'd be good with that as long as it has no effect on the game itself. I'm always weary of multi-player because it tends to dictate how the game is built but with this it would definitely make sense.
@@kolbywilliams7234 There is a private server that is functional. Important bits translated. Not everything works, but core Dragon's Dogma gameplay is there.
I’m still amazed at the amount of people who didn’t even they had a first one,I looked up something to play that was similar to Skyrim after I beat it & Dragons dogma was the first thing to pop up… 11 yrs & it’s still the only game to fully use the climbing combat mechanic
I just started playing Dragon's Dogma a few months ago. I haven't even finished BBI yet lol. It's pretty exciting to have the second game around the corner while still enjoying the first one
My most anticipated game. I just wish Capcom would announce a release date so that I can pre-order it. It doesn't have to be an exact date, just something that gets stores to allow pre-ordering. Hopefully they offer an edition that has a steel-book case that isn't too expensive, as I like those...but its Capcom, which doesn't do that.
I cried during the whole video. I’m super happy and excited, it’s my favorite game, seeing how close it is to release date fills me with joy, I thought we had to wait longer. Seriously this is the best game ever. ❤
I really hope the Assassin vocation makes a return because I mainly use it as a solo class since I don't use any pawns in the game for support and instead venture on my own. With the Assassin vocation, I get the option of carrying multiple weapons like daggers, a sword and shield, as well as a bow and arrows.
As of now from the equipment menu all classes are accounted for aside from one since we know 4 of 5 advanced classes. Sorcerer, Warrior, Mystic spear, and magic archer. The last one is very unlikely to he a hybrid class because they completely did away with the 6 skill setup in exchange for each class having a single class specific ability on the right bumper. Fighter literally just gets block, and instead of expanding more abilities when held, it just blocks. Block abilities have been confirmed to share the three sword slots so we get half the creativity this time around with melee classes, just so archer classes can shine. There are obvious workarounds to this, but seems they don't know or care enough to make it happen.
@@doclouis4236 Yes and no. You get 4 skills to freely swap like before but every vocation only has one weapon. To keep from sharing weapons with multiple vocations, as having 4+ classes that all use daggers seems weird balancing wise. But you get more impactfull core skills instead which might also be swappable, we dont know yet. Plus one vocation skill that might also have more mechanics. So at least 4, more like 6 skills for every vocation.
@@griever4519 I hope the combat is like Dragon's Dogma Online and we get to have access to many skills all at once. But I really want to play alone and carry a bow, sword, and daggers just so I don't need the assistance of other pawns. I want to play solo.
little dev history for this game: way back, before DMC5 started development, their mutual director Hideaki Itsuno was apparently given a choice between making that game or Dragon's Dogma 2. he obviously chose the former back then but a producer at Capcom named Ryozo Tsujimoto, who is more known for his work on the Monster Hunter series, said when asked in a Famitsu interview not too long ago but well before DD2 was announced that if he could pick a Capcom IP for getting a sequel it would be Dragon's Dogma. i'm so happy and thrilled that he got his wish also a bit sad for the short fallout after that where MH fans mistook his hype for TGS as MH6 news cycle beginning. to be fair, Capcom's investor meeting that got around before TGS said they had 1 unannounced game set to be announced or maybe released by the end of march/Capcom's fiscal year/near the 20th anniversary of the series, that they were confident would sell millions, and we still have no news on that is. the line of them expecting millions in sales confidently only means a few of htier IPs, they do well overall but only Resi and MH truly break well past that range as of late or at all.
My only issue with Dogma 1 so far is the pawns. They're great for gameplay, but in terms of immersion, they seem a bit shallow, just wandering around until you pick them up. While I do appreciate the personal pawn, it'd be even better if the other party members were as well-developed as the NPCs in games like Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate 3.
It's the only game i've platinumed every time a new version came out - if only to erase hooking up with that bastard Fournival the first time round 😅. The greatest joy was loading up to see if my pawn had been adventuring overnight
Dragons dogma most underatted game imo its still my favorite game ever made when this comes out ill be wearing 3 pair of underwear for quick changes when jizzing my pants
For those who care, I made three friends who had a certain resistance to the game play the first one, now they are eagerly awaiting the second one too :)
I was holding out hope for a co-op system where you and your main pawn plus your friend and their main pawn could join together and take on the world but that doesn't seem to be the case....oh well
This game is exactly what I want and have been looking for as a ranged player. So happy about no lock on's. If they dont do so before this game comes out other gaming companies / games are goung to catch up. This kind of game will be the new standard in many ways. So excited!
I can’t wait for this, the only thing I didn’t care for with 1 was the stat growth system. I don’t want to have to be a sorcerer for 90 levels for my magic archer to have high magic
I’m buying this day 1 regardless, but I am a little concerned that they just remade DD1 the way they originally wanted to make it rather than making an entirely new game.
To me this is a titan of a game, i adored and played it so much i had to get a third copy after the other 2 were worn down, this is also the only game that saw my 3rd xbox 360 because of how much i loved it
I cannot wait for this, this game is the one I've been most excited for and waiting for. I remember being crazy excited for the first game, after playing the demo back on PS3, then immediately got it for PC and PS4 LOL. I had gotten the group of veterans I sit with into the game as well, and they had me create other PSN accounts to make pawns of characters from a little RPG I created way back in school, it was fun lol.
Playing a nocturnal character where you rest at inns and kinda only go out at night can really, really change.. even like the genre of the game lol it’s awesome 😂
Looks great! It is really refreshing to see a studio know their fan base and deliver and not mess things up trying to be cleaver or try to entice different types of fans.
See? Some times I have the impression that people who talks about games on youtube don't really play these games. I watched several preview videos of this game and none of them talked about it like this one did, bringing info that are really important and interesting from a previous game player perspective (at least a non casual one).
So the three things that I think most people are complaining about is that there’s no lock on, there’s no dodge button, and then people are complaining about the stamina bar outside of combat etc. People also used to complain about the lack of fast travel until they started using the ferry stones to teleport. So here’s my take on it, I do like having a dodge button in video games it was really fun to use especially in Elden ring and Witcher, I’m not really into the dark soul games but I did enjoy Elden Ring a lot, The Witcher 3 was cool, But the combat just didn’t feel very satisfying to me. Dragon’s a Dogma one is probably my all-time favorite game next to Elden Ring now, And I remember loving the combat in the original dragons dogma, all that being said, I personally don’t mind not having a lock system are used to not like them and then I kind of just adapted to it in Elden ring, so that doesn’t bother me so much, And the first game never had that and I never had a complaint about it whatsoever, it’s pretty intuitive you just go in the direction of what you want to kill and do it.😂 Yeah when it comes to having a Dodge mechanic/button I will admit I started playing Dragon’s dogma again for the first time in a while and I was like damn this needs a Dodge button, And then after playing it I’m like you know what this is part of this style of game and it makes it a little bit more challenging because we basically have to run away from the monsters if they are kicking our asses Haha.. If the circle button was used for Dodge/examine that would still be cool, but again.. Dragon’s dogma has always had a learning curve do it, And we all want to explore its world and understand it and find new monsters to slay as the story unfolds, so we have to pretty much surrender to it’s mechanics in order to experience the game as a whole. And I know that it kind of sucks especially in the beginning or a more difficulty modes with the stamina bar outside of combat, But again that’s something that we work towards alleviating so that we have more stamina as we progress and it makes it more challenging it builds more suspense because when you have monsters chasing after you you can’t just run away from them all the time you have to really pay attention to what you’re doing. I think Dragon’s dogma is very original and has its own unique charm and mechanics that make it very special, and it stands out from all the other high fantasy games in more ways than one. I trust that they will surpass the first one in every way with this new installment and I trust that it’s going to be just as fun if not more fun than the first one Even if most of the mechanics are relatively the same as the first game, I’m cool with it. I guess if a bunch of new players or people speak up about the stamina bar in the lack of a dodge button maybe they will implement that with some kind of new controller mode patch in the menu gameplay section of the game in the future. Kind of like how they have the controller layout and they give us different ways to map it and play maybe they will give players more of a modern Eldon ring combat control style that people can choose if they want to or they can play the game true to the intentions of the developers vision of the game. Only time will tail, but all that stuff aside this game looks amazing art style is my favorite of any fantasy video game I have ever seen, it reminds me of the art from dungeons and dragons monster manuals in the 1980s, The lighting the mood the vibe the colors all of it looks incredible and I’m really stoked to play this it’s seriously my top number one dream game of all time. 🤘❤️
While a universal dodge roll seems unlikely, Fighter did get one and Thief seems to have a sidetep + normal roll. Aside from staff classes, I think most other ones will have some new form of defensive skills.
Looks really cool! I'm excited. Though I don't really like how they turned the Strider into two separate classes. Now you have to choose bow or daggers at the start.
I think they did it because Strider always felt too complete for an starter vocation but there's a chance they will add a Thief + Ranger hybrid vocation so we may still have Strider later in the game
@@yaqubebased1961I don't so. They will probably go back to having Assassin and Ranger, since they Magic Archer is confirmed. Then possibly adding a new melee class for the thief. My money is on Ninja.
Honestly outside of the Soulsborne games and maybe now BG3, Dragons Dogma is up there with my favorite games of all time and I'm so unbelievably stoked to play this! Also today we got the preview of the Trickster vocation and holy shit that seems insanely cool
Could you effectively play as a healer who sits back and buffs and supports your pawns? I would have a lot of fun if I could specialize in setting the fighter swords on fire or improving the archer's accuracy etc. And healing when they get low
Actually you can do most of that in Dragon Dogma. If you wanted to just buff the team defense , enchant their weapons and heal/cure them when needed , while putting de-buff on enemies it was totally a viable strategy. I have a account that I dedicated for this play style to train a pawn I created to be support.

I’m waiting to see the QoL changes (pawn IQ, map structure, etc.) and UI changes to the menu. I really hope they add Multiplayer down the line; maybe as a separate expansion if it can’t be added to the main game.
The devs already said they are not going to do that.
The best hope for a multiplayer dragon’s dogma experience is another DD:online that has an international release.
I'd be good with that as long as it has no effect on the game itself. I'm always weary of multi-player because it tends to dictate how the game is built but with this it would definitely make sense.
@@kolbywilliams7234 There is a private server that is functional. Important bits translated. Not everything works, but core Dragon's Dogma gameplay is there.
Dunno about full on multiplayer, but would absolutely love co-op mode.
would be cool to have like a Bitterblack Isle map, but multiplayer
Plz tell me overall stats lvl up isn't tied to per lvl in specific class. I hated that so much.
I’m still amazed at the amount of people who didn’t even they had a first one,I looked up something to play that was similar to Skyrim after I beat it & Dragons dogma was the first thing to pop up… 11 yrs & it’s still the only game to fully use the climbing combat mechanic
Both DD2 and FF rebirth will make 2024 a nostalgic year for jrpgs
I'm hoping it's 2025 (or end 2024) for DD2. Please give Itsuno enough time to cook this time, so not to end up barebones like DD1.
of course the fighter gets buffed and the strider gets axed and split into two separate vocations...
Capcom seems to always drop demos and I can’t wait to try this out
I just started playing Dragon's Dogma a few months ago. I haven't even finished BBI yet lol. It's pretty exciting to have the second game around the corner while still enjoying the first one
Capcom splitting Strider into thief and archer is them admitting that the vocation was too good.
"They're Master works all you can't go wrong."
My most anticipated game. I just wish Capcom would announce a release date so that I can pre-order it. It doesn't have to be an exact date, just something that gets stores to allow pre-ordering. Hopefully they offer an edition that has a steel-book case that isn't too expensive, as I like those...but its Capcom, which doesn't do that.
I cried during the whole video. I’m super happy and excited, it’s my favorite game, seeing how close it is to release date fills me with joy, I thought we had to wait longer. Seriously this is the best game ever. ❤
I really hope the Assassin vocation makes a return because I mainly use it as a solo class since I don't use any pawns in the game for support and instead venture on my own.
With the Assassin vocation, I get the option of carrying multiple weapons like daggers, a sword and shield, as well as a bow and arrows.
As of now from the equipment menu all classes are accounted for aside from one since we know 4 of 5 advanced classes. Sorcerer, Warrior, Mystic spear, and magic archer. The last one is very unlikely to he a hybrid class because they completely did away with the 6 skill setup in exchange for each class having a single class specific ability on the right bumper. Fighter literally just gets block, and instead of expanding more abilities when held, it just blocks. Block abilities have been confirmed to share the three sword slots so we get half the creativity this time around with melee classes, just so archer classes can shine. There are obvious workarounds to this, but seems they don't know or care enough to make it happen.
@@MatthewManney So you're saying we're more limited?
Unless we complain about this change, then knowing about the limitations is sort of upsetting.
@@doclouis4236 Yes and no. You get 4 skills to freely swap like before but every vocation only has one weapon. To keep from sharing weapons with multiple vocations, as having 4+ classes that all use daggers seems weird balancing wise.
But you get more impactfull core skills instead which might also be swappable, we dont know yet. Plus one vocation skill that might also have more mechanics.
So at least 4, more like 6 skills for every vocation.
@@griever4519 I hope the combat is like Dragon's Dogma Online and we get to have access to many skills all at once. But I really want to play alone and carry a bow, sword, and daggers just so I don't need the assistance of other pawns. I want to play solo.
little dev history for this game: way back, before DMC5 started development, their mutual director Hideaki Itsuno was apparently given a choice between making that game or Dragon's Dogma 2. he obviously chose the former back then but a producer at Capcom named Ryozo Tsujimoto, who is more known for his work on the Monster Hunter series, said when asked in a Famitsu interview not too long ago but well before DD2 was announced that if he could pick a Capcom IP for getting a sequel it would be Dragon's Dogma. i'm so happy and thrilled that he got his wish also a bit sad for the short fallout after that where MH fans mistook his hype for TGS as MH6 news cycle beginning. to be fair, Capcom's investor meeting that got around before TGS said they had 1 unannounced game set to be announced or maybe released by the end of march/Capcom's fiscal year/near the 20th anniversary of the series, that they were confident would sell millions, and we still have no news on that is. the line of them expecting millions in sales confidently only means a few of htier IPs, they do well overall but only Resi and MH truly break well past that range as of late or at all.

Guard: "Never should have taken this shift..."
My only issue with Dogma 1 so far is the pawns. They're great for gameplay, but in terms of immersion, they seem a bit shallow, just wandering around until you pick them up. While I do appreciate the personal pawn, it'd be even better if the other party members were as well-developed as the NPCs in games like Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate 3.
Christ the lighting is a 100% improvement. But it still somehow looks like the first game. Great job.
Playing DD Dark Arisen for the first time blind on my channel and if the first is anything to go off, we are in for a wild treat, cannot wait! 🥳
Played the first one, gameplay had lots of player expression and freedom in it. Cannot wait for this gem to drop, definitely my GOTY2024🗣️🚨
2024… hope I survive the wait. Replaying the original to 100% it and going for stacked pawns to enjoy the gameplay better.
The best part of Drake Gunzama is what makes it so unique
It's the only game i've platinumed every time a new version came out - if only to erase hooking up with that bastard Fournival the first time round 😅. The greatest joy was loading up to see if my pawn had been adventuring overnight
There's new races! Considering how the first game is unfinished this one looks like an insane improvement
Watch. DD2 and the Elden Ring DLC are gonna drop the same week and our families will report us missing, you guys.
Dragons dogma most underatted game imo its still my favorite game ever made when this comes out ill be wearing 3 pair of underwear for quick changes when jizzing my pants
Oooooo Executions?!
I've watched several breakdown ur the only one whose brought up the mechanics
Best so far have to say
For those who care, I made three friends who had a certain resistance to the game play the first one, now they are eagerly awaiting the second one too :)
Man I loved the first game, played until my lvl 203 character was lost in a corrupted save, looking forward to this release
I was holding out hope for a co-op system where you and your main pawn plus your friend and their main pawn could join together and take on the world but that doesn't seem to be the case....oh well
Just picked up the first one on Xbox marketplace for like 4 bucks with the expansion 👏👏👏
Played Dragon's dogma inferior version on PS3. But this sequel seems so much better.
Started playing the first one a few days and I wish I bought this when I first looked at it years ago. Game’s incredible.
This game is exactly what I want and have been looking for as a ranged player. So happy about no lock on's.
If they dont do so before this game comes out other gaming companies / games are goung to catch up. This kind of game will be the new standard in many ways.
So excited!
I can’t wait for this, the only thing I didn’t care for with 1 was the stat growth system. I don’t want to have to be a sorcerer for 90 levels for my magic archer to have high magic
I’m buying this day 1 regardless, but I am a little concerned that they just remade DD1 the way they originally wanted to make it rather than making an entirely new game.
To me this is a titan of a game, i adored and played it so much i had to get a third copy after the other 2 were worn down, this is also the only game that saw my 3rd xbox 360 because of how much i loved it
I cannot wait for this, this game is the one I've been most excited for and waiting for. I remember being crazy excited for the first game, after playing the demo back on PS3, then immediately got it for PC and PS4 LOL. I had gotten the group of veterans I sit with into the game as well, and they had me create other PSN accounts to make pawns of characters from a little RPG I created way back in school, it was fun lol.
Playing a nocturnal character where you rest at inns and kinda only go out at night can really, really change.. even like the genre of the game lol it’s awesome 😂
Looks great! It is really refreshing to see a studio know their fan base and deliver and not mess things up trying to be cleaver or try to entice different types of fans.
I am gonna ask this for my birthday hehe
I remember playing the first one when it came out & I'm beyond excited for the release of dragons dogma 2.
See? Some times I have the impression that people who talks about games on youtube don't really play these games. I watched several preview videos of this game and none of them talked about it like this one did, bringing info that are really important and interesting from a previous game player perspective (at least a non casual one).
The Magick Spear Vocation feels a bit more like a Jedi in training from KOTOR
So the three things that I think most people are complaining about is that there’s no lock on, there’s no dodge button, and then people are complaining about the stamina bar outside of combat etc.
People also used to complain about the lack of fast travel until they started using the ferry stones to teleport.
So here’s my take on it, I do like having a dodge button in video games it was really fun to use especially in Elden ring and Witcher, I’m not really into the dark soul games but I did enjoy Elden Ring a lot, The Witcher 3 was cool, But the combat just didn’t feel very satisfying to me.
Dragon’s a Dogma one is probably my all-time favorite game next to Elden Ring now, And I remember loving the combat in the original dragons dogma, all that being said, I personally don’t mind not having a lock system are used to not like them and then I kind of just adapted to it in Elden ring, so that doesn’t bother me so much, And the first game never had that and I never had a complaint about it whatsoever, it’s pretty intuitive you just go in the direction of what you want to kill and do it.😂
Yeah when it comes to having a Dodge mechanic/button I will admit I started playing Dragon’s dogma again for the first time in a while and I was like damn this needs a Dodge button, And then after playing it I’m like you know what this is part of this style of game and it makes it a little bit more challenging because we basically have to run away from the monsters if they are kicking our asses Haha.. If the circle button was used for Dodge/examine that would still be cool, but again.. Dragon’s dogma has always had a learning curve do it, And we all want to explore its world and understand it and find new monsters to slay as the story unfolds, so we have to pretty much surrender to it’s mechanics in order to experience the game as a whole.
And I know that it kind of sucks especially in the beginning or a more difficulty modes with the stamina bar outside of combat, But again that’s something that we work towards alleviating so that we have more stamina as we progress and it makes it more challenging it builds more suspense because when you have monsters chasing after you you can’t just run away from them all the time you have to really pay attention to what you’re doing.
I think Dragon’s dogma is very original and has its own unique charm and mechanics that make it very special, and it stands out from all the other high fantasy games in more ways than one.
I trust that they will surpass the first one in every way with this new installment and I trust that it’s going to be just as fun if not more fun than the first one Even if most of the mechanics are relatively the same as the first game, I’m cool with it.
I guess if a bunch of new players or people speak up about the stamina bar in the lack of a dodge button maybe they will implement that with some kind of new controller mode patch in the menu gameplay section of the game in the future.
Kind of like how they have the controller layout and they give us different ways to map it and play maybe they will give players more of a modern Eldon ring combat control style that people can choose if they want to or they can play the game true to the intentions of the developers vision of the game.
Only time will tail, but all that stuff aside this game looks amazing art style is my favorite of any fantasy video game I have ever seen, it reminds me of the art from dungeons and dragons monster manuals in the 1980s, The lighting the mood the vibe the colors all of it looks incredible and I’m really stoked to play this it’s seriously my top number one dream game of all time. 🤘❤️
@iMaPound420 Haha no I’m agoraphobic!! But thanks 😊
While a universal dodge roll seems unlikely, Fighter did get one and Thief seems to have a sidetep + normal roll. Aside from staff classes, I think most other ones will have some new form of defensive skills.
@@ouroboros4718 this game is going to be so amazing, I seriously cannot wait . Lol 😆
Looks really cool! I'm excited. Though I don't really like how they turned the Strider into two separate classes. Now you have to choose bow or daggers at the start.
I think they did it because Strider always felt too complete for an starter vocation but there's a chance they will add a Thief + Ranger hybrid vocation so we may still have Strider later in the game
My guess is that Strider is now a hybrid vocation of thief and archer, but we won't know until we know.
@@yaqubebased1961I don't so. They will probably go back to having Assassin and Ranger, since they Magic Archer is confirmed. Then possibly adding a new melee class for the thief. My money is on Ninja.
Your outro music is legendary
I just want to fast forward life to the point where this game is released and i can just lose myself in all its glory!
I really hoped they would allow swimming this time around, even if a limited way.
The little boy in me is extremely happy for this to be real and all my hopes and dreams are coming to fruition
Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen is one of my favorite games of all time and I am so excited for this.
But, I think the important question is: Will bikini armor be making a return?
Always loved how much weight and feedback hits in dg1 had. Game fell short in story and world design. Hope they do a better job this time.
As long as I have brainsplitter or a bad ass magick archer I'm happy.
i want a dual wield warrior berserker type , why is it only blizzard that is doing it , lol ?
Honestly outside of the Soulsborne games and maybe now BG3, Dragons Dogma is up there with my favorite games of all time and I'm so unbelievably stoked to play this! Also today we got the preview of the Trickster vocation and holy shit that seems insanely cool
Wonder if loot and crafting will be a large element. Will not feel like a RPG I can love without them being in the game.
Could you effectively play as a healer who sits back and buffs and supports your pawns?
I would have a lot of fun if I could specialize in setting the fighter swords on fire or improving the archer's accuracy etc. And healing when they get low
Actually you can do most of that in Dragon Dogma. If you wanted to just buff the team defense , enchant their weapons and heal/cure them when needed , while putting de-buff on enemies it was totally a viable strategy.
I have a account that I dedicated for this play style to train a pawn I created to be support.
Never played the original but I’m blown away by the gameplay showcased in this video. It looks amazing…
Play the original while you wait for the sequel. The graphics are a bit dated now, but it is still super fun to play. You won't regret it.
Really can't wait to see what they do with sorcerers. If the first game is anything go off of, it's gonna be such an amazing experience.
This is the 1st time in a long time that a game developer has doubled down on their game design and it was actually GOOD
I just squealed like a little girl. Let's f*cking goooooo
