One of the best games of all time.

I've tried to get into it twice now. Never hooked me in. The map and quest tracking is awful

I played it for a few hours but got a bit annoyed with the lack of "off the main path" exploration I could do. Walk into a cave and get killed in 2 hits by something, walk 50ft the "wrong" way oh look there's a random bandit that's 20x stronger than the bandits you fought 20 seconds prior, and you've now been one shot and have to reload.

Same, between the horrible quest markers, limited fast travel and that damn stamina bar I just couldn't get into it. Because of the limited fast travel you get caught out at night where all hell breaks loose lol

Not sure how it works on PC, but make sure you find a friend with a decently leveled pawn to help you out. Other players' pawns can be rented, but the price scales with level and cab get outrageously expensive, but a friend's pawn is free no matter the level.

Be advised that there is an XP nerf/buff if you rent a pawn that is +25/-25 levels of your own

I played the original some time ago, it lost me on the traps shiny enemies, not so much the lack of fast travel.

I want my baddies to stay dead, but I did enjoy it for a good 16 hours.

Played hundreds of hours changing the controller with my bro, love this game hoping the sequel is just as good

Wolves hunt in packs, Arisen.

Their kind ill like fire.

Game is super hard. I get steam rolled by the basic enemies lol. If I survive one group of enemies I’m dying on the next encounter.

I need to fucking commit to this. I'm doing my first play of DS3 right now. It just feels so clunky.

What monitor is that? I'm jealous! Currently using a 27" 1440p display but really want something bigger.

[–] Spell3ound@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I tried a couple times getting into this. It didn't do it for me. .. hope you like it though .. the 2nd one looks amazing 🤩

[–] adellredwinters@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Dragons dogma is the only game that I’ve played where I felt like it was bad, mid, and incredible all at the same time. I fucking love it and am super hyped for the sequel.

[–] Helphaer@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I couldn't get into it as a story-rpg focus and the first boss battle with that snake or such and then the pawn thing going on with the design of characters, it just lost my interest quickly.

[–] _YenSid@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I played the original and enjoyed it quite a bit even though I got my ass handed to me a few times lol. Damn cockatrices were the bane of my existence. I have this version but haven't got to it yet.

[–] magnumninja@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The game doesn't tell you this but there are quest lines that are timed so save your sister as fast as possible

I tried, but found it too outdated for my tastes. Though I’m really excited for 2, I’m also sad there will be no multiplayer element. Capcom redemption has definitely earned my trust though

[–] Bogdansixerniner@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Sweet! Just remember to temper some expectations as the open world, story and quests are a bit.. let’s call them weird.

[–] Hayden_Zammit@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I remember the whole time I was playing this I kept thinking that it was rough as hell. Just janky from top to bottom.

Still loved it though. The game just had a weird but refreshing and unique feel all it's own.

Everything didn't feel so forgiving like other games at the time. Like, going into a cave or just roaming around at night meant I needed a torch or it was just too dark. Little things like that were great.

[–] KrayzieBoneLegend@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I've tried getting into it twice on two different systems. Can't seem to get caught up in it.

[–] Tomsk13@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I started it last night. The whole tine I was thinking "it's kinda dated now but this would have blown my fucking mind if I'd played it on release"

[–] allBoom_Noshaka@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I don't like the pawn system so far but everything else is really fun

[–] Brimo958@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I spent 6 hours in the game, i got lost and didn't know what to do or how to progress the mission's. Looked it up on yt, did the same steps to do the mission yet nothing happened so i deleted the game.

[–] Lumberpasky@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I got the game back in 2017, no clue what I even did but somehow I started it, forgotten about it and came back 2 years later when it sucked me in and I played 100 hours in 2 weeks (my steam achievements told me that I didn't even create my own pawn back in 2017) and well 4 years later I came back to finish the DLC and started a new run on another steam acc, where I slowly powerlevel myself in the DLC with some min maxing. And i just love the Combat system, which in my opinion is the biggest selling point of DDDA

You're in for a treat
