A couple of things to mention. 1. Dragon's Dogma 1 had all of the vocations unlocked the moment you visit the capital city for the very first time. 2. I can assure you, that nobody will defend the DD2 soundtrack, because the DD1 soundtrack exists. Into Free, and Coils of Light are certified bangers, there is a reason why OST from DD1 is as DLC for DD2. 3. Yes, I was disappointed with lack of variety, considering that for some reason they removed bosses from DD1 like Hydra, Cockatrice, or Beholder(giant evil eye mob) 4. Once again, in Dragon's Dogma 1 you could switch between gear from storage anywhere you wanted, not sure why it is not here in DD2. 5. Story is an absolute downgrade, the personal main issue is that story related, there's almost zero Dragon in Dragon's Dogma 2, it is a far cry from DD1 Dragon which was an amazing character(also they get ride of iconic VA of this Dragon) 6. Ultimately the game suffers almost the very same issues everyone had with DD1, but DD1 had DLC that fixed quite a lot of issues, which they did not too takes note from and seemingly decided to take a step backward. 7. The end-game of DD1 is vastly superior to DD2, DD1 has two different end-games, a Base game, and DLC, and both of them alone dwarf the DD2 one. 8. Also, DD1 had a much cooler final fight, where after the Dragon, if you had online mode on, you eventually fought another player's main character who manage beat the game before you. Not-so-fun-fact: Capcom did not have faith in this game in the first place, if you look up credits, you can see that on DD2, it worked around 300 people, vs other Capcom tiles like RE4, or Street Fighter 6 which had around 1000 people. Not-so-fun fact 2: Director of Base Dragon's Dogma 1 and 2 was Hideaki Itsuno, however, the person responsible for DLC and the Online version of the game was one of the Designers, Kento Kinoshita. This may give us some clue, as to why all the changes and improvements that DLC did to DD1 were not in DD2.

I played and loved DD1, the story was weird but still felt coherent and cool. Grigori was a total chad - David Lodge's voice uplifted the cool dialogue to the next level too - and fighting him felt epic.

The quests seem to be a bit better than in the first game, so no complaints here. The story is just as incompetent, so that's not a let down, for I expected it to be bad from the very start. I could go on, but I think you catch my drift by now. I would've mentioned the performance issues as a big minus point, if I would've experienced any, which I didn't oddly enough. I'll have a lot more to complain about if the DLC doesn't do much in regards of end game content. I wouldn't mind a few more vocations and armour sets either. Getting my Dragons Dripma back is the top priority for me. As it stands now, I put 280 hours into DD2, that's a bit more time than I spent in DD1 before DA came out.

The story was clearly an afterthought but I think what the developers underestimated here is that the story and characters are a hook for you to motivate you to get invested in the world and go exploring. Mindless walking around and killing monsters is fun but when you have a well made setup and lore for the worlds you’re in makes you wanna do all the side stuff even more. It’s the reason that I do absolutely every side quest in the witcher 3 every time i do another playthrough and the reason why I’m enthralled with baldurs gate 3 and try to explore the entire map before doing any main quests cause I wanna get the most out of its world and not miss out or get locked out of a quest in that game. Of course those two games are the best the genre has to offer, but in this game I don’t care at all about who’s who and why I’m doing what i’m doing. It’s just where can I get the best loot and where’s the next enemy to kill. Nothing about its storytelling incentivizes me to explore anything or get invested in the world.

Until they totally butchered his role. Like he shows up, he sounds out of breath the entire time, literally pulls your "lover" out of his mystery pocket despite legit just being summoned, gives you a very not meaningful choice and is all like "Aight, hop on, lets go fight" and then yaps until you reach the arena to fight him. Now, how was he handled in the first game? Zealot so full of himself is chanting Gregori's name all excited and Gregori fucking lands on the dude, smashes him and then makes fun of him. Tells you to seek him out in the old ruins when you think you're ready. When you eventually get there, he has your lover, but at least there was any window of time at all where that was possible, right? But instead of just giving you a choice, the first game also included a huge plot twist here, how the Duke of the city, all this time, was also an Arisen and that that Duke once sacrificed their lover so the dragon would leave and let him become the ruler of the city, now giving you the choice to essentially overthrow the Duke and take their place by doing the same now. It was a pretty cool wow moment because there was a sidequest to speak to the Duke's special lady and find out how much of a whackjob he is because he's so full of regret, choking the dutchess while shout a name that was, at the time, kinda random? That was the lover he sacrificed! (Says a lot that I remember all of this from like 8 years ago and can't fucking tell you the name of the bad guys in 2 even after your video straight up told me like twice, don't care). So you choose to fight and Gregori starts spewing fire. You're 'lover' narrowly escapes, but the exit gets blocked by debris, so you have to run down a long corridor. Camera turns around as you're running to see Gregori plowing through the hall to chase you and if you run out of stamina, you die here. You escape through a door and his head gets stuck in it, so you're fighting just his head for a minute until he breaks free. Then you fight him in this big room until he smashes through the roof and you have to chase him outside. Gotta sprint across these massive sections of old castle walls while he does aggressive flybys, making the walls crumble and fall apart - again, if you don't make it across in time, you die. You reach a tower and climb to the top to shoot him out of the sky with a ballista and he plows through the tower as a result of a direct hit, seemingly eating you. Black screen. Suddenly, you're hanging onto his back as he flies. He's flying through clouds of harpies to try and shake you off while you climb up hi back to the spot over his chest and stab him, then you both fall into this volcano arena where now, and ONLY now, does it play out like in 2. Also, I hated the final 'boss'. There actually was a final boss in the first game, full of more massive plot twists and a super cool mechanic involving your own character that made the end of the second playthrough a wild experience I never would have expected. But in 2, it's just a walking segment and then a cutscene? I wanted to fight the damn giant dragon! wtf?? I like the combat and the graphics, but in EVERY other aspect, it's either a downgrade or an outright butchering.

Awesome video, btw the examine button = sprint button can be changed in the options (not in the controls tab of course...?). Still sucks that it's the default but yeah you can fix it.

To make the queen regent more evil throw in greed, lust, envy, and some power aspects in there. High prices, give the brothel ladies more of a story, have the queen’s army harassing near by villages, and have her sending assassins after you. Then give her a twist of an ending. Oh!

Dragons Dogma 2 felt like it’s honestly dd1 with updated graphics. I loved the first. Hundred of 100s in the first including the DLC. It’s a solid 7/10 for me and I am enjoying it, but as long as we waited, I expected a little more out of this.

But it was also linked to other players worlds, so the dragon had like a million health points.

DD1 was marginally better without the DLC included. With? DD2 is literal garbage in comparison.

1:36 I've been saying Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in The Last Action Hero) this whole time

As for the pawn system, I said this way back with DD1 It would be easy to mix co-up in this by allowing one player to host a game (who will remain their own arisen) while the other players will take control over their own main pawn, spawning in the Host's game (but retaining their own skills and gear.) With a max of 3 additional players, the third taking control of the Host's main pawn (like before, just looking like the pawn, but keeping their abilities and gear as Arisen.) I'm also no expert, but I believe peer to peer co-up would be low maintenance on their servers, as it will mostly rely on the Host's game/pc

I had the achievment pop for having two npcs fight over you while i was doing an escort mission. Never saw them fight because i was inside my house but heard some dialog where they got snippy with each other.

Nobody tell him about the Platinum Card for the Rose Place. Free Sex for literally exposing someone in game.

at 16:10 Hideaki Itsuno says (in japanese) that 2 characters might have an argument when they arrive at your house at the same time. he uses the word 喧嘩(kenka) which can mean a physical fight, but mostly is used as an quarrel. I've witnessed a situation in my playthrough when 2 characters arrived at my home and i've turned down 1 invitation and he left saddened, but i didnt have a chance to use the "stop fighting please" button

The magic archer is a powerhouse of a class. You can shred through enemies like it’s nothing. One of my favorites!

I am so glad you decided to make a video on this game, I've also got just over 100 hours in it and it was probably my most anticipated game of this year and I was... conflicted. The game is both really addicting because of the combat and pawns but horrible dated with all the awful NPC dialogue, lack of RPG elements, and just a ton of questionable design choices. The "world-building" if you can call it that is the worst in any RPG that I've played in 10+ years (coincidentally, roughly since I played DD:DA), not a single NPC is interesting, the story is laughably bad. So disappointing. Edit: Yes, I was VERY disappointed with the enemy variety. I bought this assuming it was a sequel, not a remake. I'm so sick of goblins and saurians.

I actually started hating combat in the end, because it served absolutely zero purpose to fight them for the 934,247nd time, for worthless materials.

22:33 bro i actually love the theme of this game. Its like the 1 time the music worked for me

for the "lovers fighting part" you have to max out your relationships with two npcs via giving them flowers then carry them to your house and they will start fighting and you'll get an achievement called theres plenty of arisen to go around

Speaking of the ending and the lore -- the worst part for me as DD1 player was that they've retconned everything, every single good thing about the first game, for ... this? I was the guy who's telling every single person I know how basically 2\3 of DD1 are nonsense, but the last third is sooooooo good. And Hideaki Itsuno just decided to neither elaborate nor improve this lore and just ditch it for something with more holes, than a swiss cheese. Like... why??????? And yeah, this "story" is not $70 RPG material for sure.

I agree, the worst thing is the retcons.

16:34 It actually happens tho, you just haven't seen it. If you befriend two people, like Glyndrw and Beren, and they visit you at the same time, the scene is gonna trigger. Not that it matters a lot since the NPCs are still very shallow. Also I'm not sure but I think japanese to english translations are always very sus because of localization so the director is probably not being a weirdo when he says that "someone might come over to your house to play", maybe it makes more sense in japanese. Also sick reference to Of Monsters and Men bro

it feels like that pawn dialogue was written by an AI that was asked "top ten adventurer tips"

In Red Dead Redemption 2, those NPCs in Strawberry working with wood boards ... if you spend enough time around them, one will eventually say to the other "A vampire in Saint Denis, can you believe that?!". Yeah, I couldn't believe it either.

I totally had the same reaction when recently replaying ffxv! My mantra through that whole game was, "This game is so up its own ass" Seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of Japanese games that has just been on overdrive recently!

Everybody thinks you can't use Warfarer unless you equip that one skill but you don't have to. As long as you are Warfarer, you can switch weapons in the inventory menu.

A big gripe I have that doesn't seem to have come up is Dungeons. there's two big ruins in the main quests that seem like a setup for a mid and large sized dungeon and both of them are just an elevator. The part of the game with the would-be large dungeon even has you pursuing a group of people and they go up wooden scaffolding that randomly breaks after they use it forcing you to use the other path, a classic "you're chasing the bad guy but he doesn't have to go through the dungeon" trope, and yet the next room is just the elevator the bad guy opted out of for the sake of taking the rickety horribly unsafe wooden scaffolding stairs. Also that group does contain the false Sovran and he does either die at your hands at the top or flee after failing to stop your progress, but TBH I forgot he was there until I did it a second time AND was formulating my steam review about the story so the fact that you missed it in the same way just confirms to me that it's so forgettable unimportant he might as well have not been there. An additional story gripe, the "dragon" in this game never shows up until it gets summoned at the end, so in the previous game where it was at least mentioned as wreaking havoc elsewhere while you try to take it down, this Dragon just picked an arisen and phoned it in, dipping out back to the rift to watch interdimensional TV or something. Also the extent they go to to name things like 'skie" to maintain a theme no doubt trying to dodge some maybe copywrite issues with some other names is just... childish and bad this time around. I was really impressed with DD1 having shit like anodyn and how they spoke because it was fresh but real words, and this time we get things like Dangoun's Skie or some shit when it could just be dragoon's jump and even though we know that's Final Fantasy I'm pretty sure copyright law doesn't cover that deep of a nuance. A dragon knight jumping with a spear is not owned by Square Enix.

The desk mat is crooked and now I can't unsee it...

I don't know why but the npc talking collecting materials while you were just walking around was hilarious 😂

With the mystic spearhand there is a quest tied to attaining it that if you wait too long you to do it you will miss it. You have to go back to melve after doing Harve Village and monster culling quests. After fighting a dragon you talk to the mystic spearhand he gives you the vocation and later on it’s possible to help him on another quest. My guess is the Jack missed it because the prompt to go back is some off handed comment by Brant. If you miss then you just find him in his house in harve village.

the thing of two characters of fighting over you its real but not like he said, if you go do the riddle for the sphinx where she asks you to bring your loved one, if you bring two people you have love maxxed out they would legit fight each other to death, but it seems it wasn't properly implemented or improbable to see happen cus you most likely have a lot of characters that like you form random places so they wouldn't really meet. Also on the character motivation stuff, they do have motivations, but the plot will move forward regardless of you doing their quest or not. Also some no context issues where just not having paid attention to some previous dialogs or scenes, like the girl who nurses you at her house, like literally moments before you get the flashback of you fighting the dragon and you getting literally roasted alive after saving her, she then nurses you, that is why it was the second time it happened.

Story wise I feel like I 'get' what they wanted to do, the blue boi ghost is basically using you all for his amusement, the reason everything feels like a stage play is because IT IS, you're are there to be the hero and win the day and everything revolves around lining up for you to do it so the cycle can repeat, there's constant talk among NPCs that that dont know if they made their choices because they truly want to and in the rare time an NPC would make one that prevents you from fulfilling the role as hero, they're 'changed' as seen when you get the Godsbane. The Dragon knows his role will never change and has become so apathetic he doesnt care anymore and is subtly guiding you to making true change. Similar vibes are felt with key characters that are outside the cycle like the Maesters, Dragon Forged and Mad King. It could have been done *so* much better though.

Well, the creator said he didn't either game, so that just says what a liar or ignoramous you are.

I think you can remap the buttons, so you don't have to run off a cliff when picking a flower.

@@Goblexter It's a Japanese game, I'm surprised they let you change the controls at all.

Lack of music really kills open world games, I think. Tried that avatar game that came out recently and just couldn't get into it because so much is walking around sorta aimlessly, which can be fun in an open world game, but it was basically silent. All I could hear was me walking. Avatar has this iconic, cool soundtrack, but you don't get any of it in the open world.

That Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack slaps.

what camera do you use its looks awsome

Really disingenuous on a few points, my fighter pawn launched me up all the time. I shot an explosive arrow, switched to my sword and my warrior pawn launched me up to the explosive. They learn by fighting, you can’t just expect them to know everything off the bat. My pawn was also hired, so I hired their pawns in return and met a few pawns that leveled up around the same speed as mine. I’d send them away with a gift and then summon them later to see if their Arisen was playing. Still have those pawns saved in my favourites. If two NPC with max affinity enter your house at the same time, they will fight, there are clips on KZread.

man i expect for the game to improve its essential since the combat still holds up and thats given time seeing other things needs improvements. man Elden Ring adn Armored Core 6 spoiled me w/ how these masocore titles are streamlined w/ QoL, UX, and accesibility.

I see that they changed nothing with the pawns because the problems you mention are the same problems the pawns had in the first game. Well, an option was to silence pawns in the menu of the first game after complains, so they learned nothing.

Agree regarding the story. I heard about the secret ending after I completed the regular one and at that point I couldn't be bothered nor care to do it😂
