After a month's worth of content, hear Mitchell's own personal impressions based on 10 hours of gameplay of Dragon's Dogma 2 in our full preview. Find out wh...
As someone who has never played Dragon’s Dogma, but loves Dark Souls, but is “meh” on Monster Hunter, but loves Shadow of the Colossus, but isn’t generally a fan of JRPGs, do you think I would enjoy this? Those are all the things it seems similar to.
I fit into most of those “categories” you just listed except I do like some jpgs, that aside this is nothing like a jrpg. The first is like a western RPG just made by a Japanese developer and is a fucking great game. I expect this to be equally good.
I haven’t watched the linked video but have seen a bit of gameplay and it seems like it is more of the same, I definitely think you would enjoy it!
The first one is still great, it has its quirks where it is a bit older now but I highly recommend pirating it (fuck capcoms retroactive drm) and giving it a go to get a feel for the kind of game this is going to be whilst you wait for it :D
I haven’t actually tried, I just knew they were retroactively adding it to games and DD is a pretty popular one so presumed they would’ve added it to that as well. So maybe they haven’t I can’t confirm :)
The first game goes on sale pretty often (it’s about $5 right now on Steam and GOG) so you could also try the first game if you’re interested enough (on PC).
Probably. I can’t imagine they will fuck up dd2 based on dark arisen and ddon.
Somehow they made a game with the most generic fantasy creatures quite good. The original and the now dead dd online both had their share of jank, but probably my favourite monster climbing mechanics which I still think are better than any mh game I have tried, and hands down the most enjoyable and rewarding spell casting mechanic, especially the ddon version. The quest handling is more traditional than fromsoft’s figure it out yourself approach and I don’t remember anything particularly bad about it. A lot of the dungeons and caves in ddon were just cut and paste segments that you start to recognize after a while, but I didn’t find it bothered me really. Rather than that I expect 2 will have more unique and purpose built environments.

Thanks for the recommendation!
Did they add DRM to DD too?! I had started a playthrough on my Steam deck but I guess the game won’t work now. What a shitty thing to do.
I haven’t actually tried, I just knew they were retroactively adding it to games and DD is a pretty popular one so presumed they would’ve added it to that as well. So maybe they haven’t I can’t confirm :)
I mean them adding it to other games retroactively is enough to justify not giving them anymore money. Really disappointed in them personally.
