It's useful if you want to farm Relic Cores. Most players will pick a random low level pawn when they enter the pawn realm. They always go for one of 3 things. The one that looks hottest, strongest (really well geared for level), or funniest. Combine 2 of those 3 and you have a RC printer. Grab random pawns, kill your main to ensure he/she doesn't level up, go beat the game, equip your lvl 1 pawn with maxed out endgame gear, level pawn once or twice. Sit back and get rich. Your pawn will learn to beat everything and become more effective from serving others. You will get items from other players as gifts. Honestly it doesn't make sense TO level up your pawn until they can become a lvl 1 god.

I’m the guy that took almost 200 hours to beat Elden Ring for the first time because I found EVERYTHING. I will go back and double or triple check, I’ll hit almost every wall, I’ll ride that elevator six times to make sure that there wasn’t a secret floor half way up.

I think IGN pointed that out with the missing boy quest. You delay looking for him and the wolves kill him. Timed quests aren't new. If you get a quest you need to go do it unless it has some delay attached to it where as part of the quest you the player have to wait for the right moment.

That's the same fear I had for DD2, DD1 was wildly misunderstood, let alone not as hugely put out there as 2 currently is, which I'm happy that my favourite RPG series is getting love, but DD is a very different beast that requires a lot of patience. The vocation previews may likely have caused this preconception that the game is going to be fast 80% of the time when it's usually 60/40* I'd say.

This is the best video I’ve seen on this game. You made so many great points. If it took me 4 hrs to create my character and main pawn. I’m just imagining how long it’s gonna take me to understand all the systems, menus, managing inventory and everything you mentioned. Paying attention to every detail and knowing what works and what doesn’t. I feel like even trying to look up a simple walkthrough on a part of the game that im bound to get stuck on won’t be as straight forward. People using different vocations with different weapons finding different items at different points in the game using different pawns and different skills. There’s so many variables.

I hope I'll like this one. It's hard to know for sure since how different it is, but at least some things speak in it's favor: Like how I've always loved being a healer and looking out for other players in co-op or team oriented games, paying attention what others do and then helping out. How I've liked just walking around in games like Red Dead Redemption 2, with no real rush to the next location, as I can just immerse myself to the journey itself and look around (and loved how Red Dead 2's world often rewarded me for paying attention to it's detail instead of zooming past to the next destination)... I've always often been the kinda person who doesn't like using fast travel as it "breaks immersion". It will probably be hard to re-tune myself to some aspects though, like the dodging, actually relying that the NPC teammates do good work instead of just being filler and how I actually gotta plan my journeys and forgetting to buy or take items would be a mess-up you can't just hop right back to fetch it. I never did play the first one... Really looking forward to this.

Awesome! I am doing the opposite. I am trying to forget as much of dragons dogma 1 so dd2 will be fresh as possible

People who want to know what DD2 is going to be like, go play Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen, maybe add a stamina mod or 2 and you'll know what you're getting into.

Pawns, as the name suggests, are never important. People who are new to the game always look down on pawns. However, veterans who know their stuffs will prioritize main pawn gear as much as theirs. With good team comp and gear, pawn can knockdown or finish off a boss for you on top of clearing all the lesser monsters. Treat your pawn right, and they will return that favor.

What I find reviewers failing to mention about Dragon's Dogma is that it's also an AI-raising simulator, specifically your main Pawn. The Pawn AI actually "learns" from the player's in-game actions and grows to imitate their master as time passes. Perfect Parry all the time as a Fighter? Your Pawn will learn the tendency to do that. Like to fool cyclopes into removing their own helms via climbing? Your Pawn will learn the tendency to do that. Perhaps you're the kleptomaniac type and loot items across the battlefield as your main priority instead of engaging in combat? Your Pawn will learn that looter's tendency and will eventually become a looter too. Maybe you're the supportive type and often prioritize running to help your party members in their downed state or during critical HP? Your Pawn will grow and learn to do the same. You are basically raising a child-AI into becoming a fully-fledged party-member NPC.

Yea I see that too. I love how you can train your pawn in combat as well. I always spent time as the same vocation showing them what to do. Teaching a warrior pawns to bonk an ogre's head was always fun. Training striders was easy too. It was really cool when you'd see them start mimicking your actions.

@@garver5833 yeah, it can be consuming to do in-depth, but it can also be very rewarding. It's also one of the main reasons why a lot of creators often end up complaining that their pawn is "stupid". They don't know the pawn is an amalgamation of their playstyle across the entire time they had the pawn. It's actually impressive to see Dragon's Dogma video creators who go in-depth with this system, creating trained pawns that can own very difficult fights solo.

I'd summarize it by saying if you played dragon's dogma one expect the same. lol

Modern videogames have been so mind-numbing that games like Elden Ring or Dragon's Dogma make players accustomed to hand-holding feel frustrated. Videogame publishers want games to be easy so that they can sell a lot but those games are also boring and don't require much creativity or intellect

Also worth mentioning that Elden Ring and Dark Souls tend to be very methodical in the way you approach a fight - it's a dance. Dodge here, attack after this move, bait this specific attack by distancing yourself a set number of steps. It's a very predictable way to approach combat when you figure out the rhythm. Dragons Dogma isn't like that. It's much more chaotic in the moment, you make openings, rather than wait for them. It's more about constant adaptation than learning a dance. It's has more room for error, but oftentimes can also be more difficult if you're not prepared.

So it’s not Street Fighter?

I always loved one thing about Dragon's Dogma. Skill, especially magic, are incredibly well done. They are not just different flares of the same magic. A well used spell can obliterate one enemy, but do ntoghing to another - depending on their weakspots, resistances and general situation.

I don't think DD2 is a actual sequel. I'm looking at it as more of a reboot. I think they're making the game they originally wanted to make, but were unable to due to budget & technical limitation. That being said, there were some aspects of the original game that were down right awful. Pawns were annoying, interacting with NPC's was awkward. & the overall presentation of the story just seemed off. I haven't seen anything to show me that any of this has been addressed in DD2. I'm still looking forward to this game, but I am a little worried.

This could be the last great single player RPG. No microtransaction, so multiplayer, no narrative focus, no crap.

The problem of DD is something that happened a while ago with some friends interested in playing the first one after seeing trailers of DD2. They played souls-like games and are among their favorites RPG (like ER, Dark Souls, etc). They entered or came with the mentality of playing a Souls or a typical open world. When they played and saw what really is, a few of them started to love it even more and the rest dispose it and never touched it again. For the newcomers: if you are approaching for the first time DD. Play it like something new and different because is something truly unique. It’s not Elden Ring, it’s not Dark Souls, it’s not The Witcher or Baldur’s Gate… If you compare, you’ll not enjoy it.

Tell you what it took 120 IQ to let that girl get choked out by her possessed king due to her trying to sell me out and watch me get whipped 😂😂😂😂😂

I have a short list of improvements I need to see: 1) More places to explore. In the first game you are walking around forever, but there aren't that many places to go! 2) Random encounters. DD1 players, here is a challenge for you: I start in a location. Leaving I encounter bunnies and goblins, before arriving at another location. Leaving there, I encounter bandits, wolves, and bandits again before I arrive at my third location. Leaving there, because there isn't much to do, I run into (possibly wolves/goblins), a butt load of harpies, goblins, and possibly either bandits or undead depending on whether it is night or day before arriving at my fourth location. If you played the first game, you can easily tell me the location from which I started, where I ended up, and the locations in between. Here is hoping DD2 is much less redundant/boring.

Funny people are comparing it to Elden Ring. The original came out around the same time as Dark Souls, and I was comparing the two at the time, not because they were similar games, but because they were both “dark fantasy” as I saw it. Both single player with multiplayer elements, and interesting open worlds with cool creatures and difficult fights. Dragon’s Dogma isn’t known for the difficulty as Dark Souls is, but it had its moments. If they had no story at all, and just had story through item descriptions, it would have been even closer to the feel of Dark Souls, but it’s Capcom, not FromSoftware. Seriously though, Dragon’s Dogma is one of my favorite games of all time and I’ve run through it over 5 times, on speed run, and hard mode. It’s a ton of fun and I can’t wait for the 2nd entry.

Yea I just want an upgrade from one. The first one had good bones, I just hope 2 is the polish im looking for.

Same, I'm a little concerned about the game being a downgrade from the first simply because of the removal of QoL features that DD1 already had, but I'll just have to wait and see.

Did you notice that you repeated yourself for 20 minutes? i genuinly was interessted until about the 8th minute, then i realized, that you just said the same thing over and over again. skipping through the video and hearing you say the same few buzz words over and over. If you wrote the script yourself, maybe try to keep things as brief as possible. dont get me wrong. if you have to say 20 minutes of interesting stuff, go for it, there surely is an audience. but if you do stuff like this, you will burn people out, it seemed very AI written.

In DD1, the only classes that have dodge is not a class, but the weapon type. You unlock dodge rolling through the knife core skillls. So, if you play strider, ranger, magick archer, or assassin, you can use dodge roll. Which is my bread and butter. 👌 0:58

People need to realize that Dragons Dogma is a party RPG, but not turn based like we are used to. Just think of it like that. It’s the same dynamic just live action

What didn’t you like about it? Just curious I have never played it

Sounds like exactly my fam, being a cRPG player I'm completely used to prepare my full party.

I played Dragon's Dogma for the first time last year also. It was definitely a love/hate relationship at times, but more than anything, I I was astonished by the level of complexity that the game was able to balance considering that it wasn't complete.

I know I'm 100% gonna LOVE DD2 (as long as it runs well, still to be seen), DD1 being my Favorite RPG of all time. Trying to dodge TOO many Spoilers while also being SUPER hyped about DD2 has been a real balancing act.

Dragon's dogma was a unique gameplay experience, whereas most other games play pretty much like 10s of others before them.

Dogma is more like if Dungeons and Dragons was a real-time combat adventure. If new players go into it with the mindset that it is a D&D adventure like the tabletop, they might better understand that party builds and interacting with NPC-townfolk has importance vs the modern 'chase the quest marker' RPGs we've gotten in the last decade.

The only coop i would personally see fit DD, would be quick 4 player raids on an everfall-like structure with randomized enemies and layouts or the bitter black island trial chambers,just start a match,go through a couple of rooms or a few corridors,enter a big ass door and find a randomized challenge depending on the difficulty,im talking about 5-10 minute raids,unless everyone sucks or their party is badly unbalanced and it takes them 3 hours to kill 3 golden golems because they are all mages 😂

I have to thank my 12 year old self for bouncing off DDDA several times but eventually managed to get back to it by learning the mechanics. It ended up being the best ARPG I've ever played.

Yeah, I am trying to play the first, but I am so far really not enjoying it. I really do not appreciate the complexity, lack of orientation, really clunky menus and very annoying mechanisms like health bars that only recover through food or rest. It just feels like a freaking chore list of stuff, just to be able to get out and "lose myself in the world" which isn't that interesting anyway. Setting? Saw many similar already. Combat? Annoying. Gear? Confusing, complex and really no way to understand what anything means. Pawns? The only interesting part of the game, but like I said, the rest of the game really drags it all down for me. To anyone else that enjoy the game, I'm glad you found your niche and had fun. But as a "casual" RPG enjoyer, this game really seems not to be for me and it is fine. I just wanted to give my opinion, so people that as similar to me, don't buy this game, just to leave a bad review and lose their money in the process.

Since it first released, I've bought it 3 times trying to enjoy it, with multiple attempted playthroughs & only 1 of those was close to completing the game fully. It wasn't until just the other day I tried jumping back into my last attempt that it all finally clicked, just enough that with some guides for quest direction I was able to complete it. It's NOT for everyone, especially casual RPG enjoyers. & I'd say all the systems/mechanics do add to the game more than take away, it's just number one at least doesn't execute them well enough to let player's meld into the systems slowly to get their barrings let alone know half them exist.

I personally love DD1 ... played it on 360, ps3, ps4, now the ps4 version on my ps5 ... however: your post is exactly what a LOT of people need to hear. Thus game is getting hyped up and the first game was largely ignored for a long time.

The only thing I hope Dragon's Dogma 2 will be like, will be Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, other games comes second, I want it to be close to the original as possible. Yes things could be improved or slightly changed to make a smoother experience, like more feystones for teleporting, a permanent teleport stone instead of being added much later, if remember correctly was added in Dark Arisen. Amongst some smaller things, other than that, I don't care if it's like more current big games, I want the feel from Dogma games, not Elden Rings, Dark Souls or other games

I HATE Soulslike games. I LOVED Dragons Dogma 1. I couldn’t get past the introductory boss in the tutorial of Elden Ring, but I THRIVED in Dragons Dogma. I do not understand when people say it’s harder than Souls-like. Thanks for the video!

I tried dd1 a few times over the years and the first two times I just didn’t care for it and dropped it pretty quick. Then one day I decided to give it another shot and for whatever reason I was HOOKED got all the way to lvl 200. Flew into my top 10 games of all time

I tried so hard to love DD1, but walking for half an hour between my destinations got old quickly when i had to backtrack. the fact that they have made a bigger world and only included a few sparse extra quick travel options is probably going to be a deal breaker for me; I loved the pawn system, the combat, and world design, but the constant footslogging was a drag.

You are literally talking like Fromsoft games haven't existed for the last decade+ "Are gamers ready for a game that doesn't hold their hand?!" Dark Souls 1,2,3 Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring..

I'm only at your first part, and I get what you're saying. But dragons dogma has a dodge skill, movement and positioning/timing are important (think monster hunter or dark souls great swords, but also with magic). Most classes get an interrupt or reflexive maneuver. You're not wrong, but it's definitely still very much a reaction/action combat game. Oh, and there's a party mechanic called perfect block, with shields. It was a major strategy in dark arisen, to out a shield on a pawn with no skills attached.

I am unfamiliar with this series. I really appreciate you breaking it down so I do not get blindsided by my own ignorant expectations. This actually got me more excited about the game. It seems like it's more of a modern RTS than anything else, which has me intrigued. Thank you

I was wondering why almost every point you mentioned made me think about how Asmon didn't have a great time with his stream of the first game, then you mentioned that was what prompted this video and was like "ah, that's why" lol. I'm hoping he does play it off stream to get over the most difficult learning curves, or at least gets to a point where he's not completely lost on what's going on and how to do things if he decides to stream it again. It's one of those games where there's a huge learning curve in the beginning and really turns people off early in the game that would probably end up enjoying it, add on to that the way chat and youtube/social media people tend to be (especially in his video comments) and it could easily sour the game for him and make him not want to pick it up again at all (though he won't admit the chat/comments had anything to do with it)

I thought it was going to be a crying Danny Devito!! Boot up the game and ol’ Dan Devito is there crying. That’s the game I’m looking for.

Everything I’ve heard here sounds like the first with some great new additions and I am supremely excited to play in a new land with new classes. I cannot wait to get my ass kicked by some troll in a small pitch black cave. Remember kids… level up your gear, upgrade pawn skills, swap out low level pawns often, PICK UP MEAT FROM ANIMALS, most importantly have fun.

"They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong!" - If I don't hear that in DD2....then I'm not playing it! There...I said it!!!

I really dislike roll dodge mechanics. I unmapped the roll key in Witcher 3.

If you want to feel like the main character in a fantasy anime, play Dragon's Dogma. You literally become God.

I’m a DD and souls vet and I can tell you people making comparisons from Elden ring aren’t wrong in some ways. There is a higher difficulty curve, the game won’t hold your hand, the combat is action rpg and relies on combos rather than button mashing. The games story is there but If you want to read into the lore you have to find it and it is told with environmental story telling. The games are both dark fantasy, both have an open world, both have dungeons and looting items, character customisation , exploration. I think there is a lot of differences in these games too. They’re not carbon copies they’re very different but making a comparison like Elden ring is much better than saying elder scrolls because the setting and aesthetic and difficulty level alone sets DD1/DD2 miles apart from it.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is EXACTLY what I think it is. I've waited 12 years for this game.

I hope that they entirely reworked the inventory management because it was a pain in Dark Arisen, like having consumable loadouts would be a gamechanger

As a gamer that only have a hour maybe an hour and a half to play a day the feeling of lack of direction is going to take me completely out of this game. I don’t wanna spend 40 minutes searching for somewhere I supposed to go to make the game progress, but I’m a gamer and I’m still gonna buy the game and I’m definitely gonna play it knowing I’m gonna be frustrated

I feel we will have a lot of disappointed people new to DD that were expecting something else, more "traditional" to nowadays standards. I just hope the game does well in sales/reception, they really deserve it!

It is exactly what i think. Its DDDA with 300% content, as it was supposed to be 12 years ago, when they could not fullfil their vision due to lack of financing. 12 years of waiting for a DDDA in its full glory, dreams come true :D Edit: One main flaw the first game has is that it shines at end game. That means two things. If it is enjoyable experience for you from the first minutes, the game will be much much better the longer you play. On the other hand, if you would like to return to it and start from beggining, there is huge chance you will pursue/speedrun to endgame, so that earlygame feels boring, thats why alot of people where speedfarming levels, to then enjoy the game at its full potential. Anyway, this is dragons dogma, either you love it or hate it. Lack of fast travel, lack of quest markers etc. I guess there will be alot of hate first days after release from asmongold-like players

Dude, what the hell are you smoking? I played the shit out of Dragons Dogma; it plays just like any other 3rd person ARPG. The only game mechanic that was unique is climbing on the monsters and hacking them to death. Managing your pawns is no different from managing your party from other ARPGs as well. You just like the sound of your own voice and am really reaching to make content. 😂
