    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I'm at the last fight/choice with the dragon but I have no will to finish it. 6/10 is probably my final rating in it's current state, basically no chance I ever replay it. Mods might fix the annoying trash mobs/balance issues late game but I don't see them fixing the tedious and boring rock...

    The nice thing about Dragonplague is that performance in town is now as good as outside of it.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I've been doing all the side quests I can find and unlocking stuff, like level 55 now and I went back to continue the main story. I tried doing that masquerade ball sequence in the whore house but it wouldn't trigger. Had to look up who the NPC I was supposed to meet there and then pay 5000 gold...

    DD2 is a lot easier than DD1 was. DD1 wasn't too difficult either until you get to the DLC and then you'll get your ish pounded in in a hurry. The level design there is superb too, far better than anything I've found in DD2 so far. Two completely different teams made the games I think. If you...

    Hah, awesome. I remember the popup but I kept waiting for something bad to happen and it never really seemed to, though I did notice my pawn acting more retarded than usual but I figured it was just their AI glitching out. I suppose there was some kind of cinematic sequence that was supposed...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I broke my game. I was in Vernworth, stayed at the Inn (so it saved both slots) my screen went black and I had to use task manager to kill the game. When I restarted it almost every single NPC is dead including every merchant, the vocation trainer and even Brant. A few trash mob guards are...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The way Pawn specializations work is really gay. I had the woodland realm spec. or whatever it's called so I could read Elvish but later on I "unlocked" Logistician which overwrote the woodland one and there is no way to go back so I can't understand elvish unless I find another pawn to hire...

    Magic Archer is really fun but a little OP especially ricochet shot, i figured they'd nerf it from the first game but it seems just as good. You also get a controllable fire arrow early on that reminds me of that giant missile you could control all the way back in Unreal Tournament 1.0. Anyway...

    I've about arrived at this conclusion too, having had a few discussions about it over the last 10 years that ultimately never went anywhere. If you want to know if the manager is full of it or not, ask them for their use-cases (which they never have and probably don't know what they are) or...

    Ogres are funny and slightly based (and were in DD1 too) because if you have women in your party the ogre is likely to grab them and run off and eat them (or you).

    Played a bit more this morning, I think I'm starting to like the game. I'm only like level 12 though and haven't done much but I think I'm numb to the janky controls now and it's really not half bad.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I knew it wasn't going to be an Elden Ring so I'm not too disappointed but there are some things I kinda hate compared to the first game. I hate how much the scripted events arrest the player's movement and how difficult it is to get out of dialogues. Most of the cut scenes are also way too...

    Bought it off GMG (thanks) but probably won't play it until the first big patch after watching the frame analysis review above. I hope they kept the narrative style of the original, I don't want to be hand held and read a ton of quest notes and lore, hopefully it's the same as 1.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Let's be real, the DLC will add at least 1 more gay Radahn-style fight and at least a hundred grab mobs hiding behind corners or bushes. Miquella fight will make Melania fight look like Artorius. There will be an entire dungeon consisting of entirely Anor Londo style snipers. What else can...

    I'm having a ton of fun with a Greatsword (actually a colossal sword) with the Lion's Claw weapon art which does an amazing forward summersault that does like 3x weapon damage and staggers almost everything but the flip tends to avoid most enemy attack animations too. If you run out of mana you...

    Decided to play this recently again too, I almost never parry. With all the crazy ranged attacks, erratic strikes and chain-combos most enemies have it seems like parry is mostly pointless, but it's probably extremely useful in a few tough situations. Timing attacks just right is its own skill...

    Act 1 was amazing. Act 2 is good in it's own way though, talk to all the NPCs in the main town and around it and you'll find your way. Act 3 is kinda weird but it's got some interesting moments. Act 4 is amazing again.

    Thanks again, I've been playing his shaman build more or less and it's been pretty fun. Primal Strike (and storm totems are nice) is my only attack and it's brain dead simple which is a nice departure from last time I tried an Arcanist (as a noob) which was 10x the work but I was constantly...

    One of the only rap songs i like. I remember blasting this kiting as a monk a crap ton of mobs in some mine in Luclin while my guild killed some giant worm boss trying to get Yttrium weapons. To this day I have no idea what they're saying but it has a great melody.

    This guy I work with was on Adderall for a few years and stopped (and told everyone as much). Learning he was on Adderall explained so much.
