    • @sokar_rostau
      @sokar_rostau 2 месяца назад

      I think a review roundup is a great idea if you can manage to keep it objective and separate from your own reviews. Approach it from the perspective of smeone that hasn't already reviewed the game and is just reading a bunch of reviews for the first time, ie a regular gamer wondering if it's worth your time. The overall picture painted by many reviews might be very different to your own (or even those reviews taken individually), so it could be very easy to fall into the traps of just degenerating into "this guy's wrong because he disagrees with me", and engaging with controversies rather than just mentioning that they exist.
      Maybe a week after release, do a "that was my opinion of the game then, what have other reviewers said since, what are players saying now, are these fair analyses, and has my opinion changed?" kind of thing.

    I love the find your own story aspect of the game and having to pay attention to the enviroment and what people tell you. Are there still journals to read up on it?
    My biggest concern is that I sometimes don't find the time to play for one or even several weeks. Having to remember what npc x told you weeks ago when you get back to the game seems daunting to me.

    @erin1569 2 месяца назад +2

    I wonder if there are going to be similar cut-off points such as the arrival at the pawn guild that barred me from doing the quest of my fave goth witch Selene
    This ties to the point of having to rely more on memory when doing quests, rather than a journal. I always try to do as many quests as possible before progressing the story. Sometimes, I pick quests on the road to do later because I'm afraid they might be rare events.
    I feel like the game's gonna kill the perfectionist in me

    This game looks awesome and I'd love to play it, but I'm probably gonna skip it sadly.
    1. I have ADHD and a terrible memory as part of that. No quest log, for me is an accessibility issue.
    2. I rarely have more than an hour or two at a time, and sometimes have to wait a week or two between sessions. I don't think that's gonna work for DD2 here.
    Still, maybe once I retire I can come back to play it

      i miss when monster hunter was like that, you used to have to learn each monsters weaknesses, farm to get the right equipment to take them down, and then use the stuff from that monster to help you take out another one, but over the years they make it easier and easier to the point that people just run elementless builds with purely offensive armor and forehead roll the entire game.
      it kind of stopped being monster "hunter" and more just monster killer
      the one time they tried to bring this feeling back people cried about it because they couldnt just destroy the boss with their same build they crushed the entire game with because they forced you to research and use elements to fight alatreon.
      and now with Rise they just took anything that resembled hunting out of the game entirely.
      i really hope the next game is a return to form.

    I first want to say thank you for all the reviews and videos that you post. I found your channel while looking in to BG3 builds and content. Your videos are always a joy to watch and I normally walk away with better knowledge of the game, their mechanics, or just different ways to play and have fun. That all being said, for some reason I was under the impression that the game would have some sort of Co-Op that would fill in place of your pawns (kind like BG3). Unfortunately I ended up refunding the game because I'd rather explore and adventure with a couple of friends. I would be interested in purchasing it again in the future if they decide to add a Co-Op. The game looks fun and the different Vocations looks cool af. Thanks for the videos, and I still plan on watching anything that talks about the game, as I am still interested in what it has to offer. I'm just not $70 interested in something that you play alone with no option to play with friends if you feel like it.

    I loved the original, so there wasn't much that was going to convince me not to buy it (already pre-ordered). But I'm most excited for any improvements over the original, which it sounds like it manages to accomplish. From what I'm hearing, there isn't anything "worse" than in the original (except for maybe Denuvo). For fans of the original, it seems like kind of a no-brainer if you've got a PS5 or decent PC to run it.

    So you won't be able to save whenever you want to with the new system? Oof.
    I really appreciated being able to save almost anywhere in the first one. For some reason a few newer games cause the Device Failure error in the nvidia drivers way too often for my liking. (I've done everything from DDU, to taking the card apart and wiping it down and putting on new paste). Older games are rock solid but something breaks in the new ones. The DD2 character creator is extremely unstable for me. So if that's a sign of what's coming with the game, I *really* want that ability to constantly save.

I will be surprised if there is no day one patch, or a performance patch in the first 1-2 weeks. If you do own a DLSS capable nvidia card I strongly suggest turning it on and just using performance.

    I feel like a lot of the "clunky questing" complaints are gonna boil down to people just being used to being handheld the entiretime and told where to go and what to do with quest markers and yellow paint. Also as far as the reviews stating it took a while for the mechanics to click (kotaku, 17hrs wtf??)

    I am 100% ready to lose myself in this game for a while.
    It is actually reassuring that it has some obvious negatives that everyone can see. Keeps my expectations balanced.
    I completely lost interest in Dark Arisen the first time I played it. I didn't get it. It was frustrating.
    2 years later, I decided to give it another go, and it is one of the best experiences I have had. I love it.
    I really have learned to enjoy the quirky uniqueness that is Dragons Dogma, and I think I can go into this one ready to push through whatever the early frustrations might be.

You only get 1 save "slot" because of the pawn system. The game has to track your pawn and make it available online for other users, hard to do that if they allow you to have 50 versions of your 1 unique pawn tied directly to your unique gamertag.

    It is so crazy how quickly or rather how instantly the PS5 and Xbox Series X immediately became just as weak as the out going generation of consoles in regards to framerate performance, which in my opinion is king. No game should be running at 30 fps. 60 fps should be the minimum for all games. So many games have come out this year and last year that i was excited about but run like crap. It is crazy to think back to the pre-release hype for the consoles and how the leaks were saying the consoles were going to be more powerful than a lot of good PCs and now they are big ugly paper weights and in need of a Pro version to keep up with these developers refusing to release optimized games. Then the saddest part is Nvidia and AMD took advantage of the situation and jacked up the prices to an insane degree for this generation of GPUs. Definitely a frustrating time for gaming across the board.

    That said... I HATE artificial difficulty. Made up sense of discovery.
    No markers, obscure/non existant quest logs, limited save files are there just to promote 3rd party info and create artificial engagement. It reminds me of Elden Ring and it's (in)famous map app (I refused to use it, so my criticism on the game would be genuine). Or - even worse - it reminds me of old MMORPGs and it's poor map and quest designs.
