Phlegmish posted:There are no options for things like earrings in the character creator, right? I assume maybe they'll be wearable items you can find in-game. No, at least in the pre-launch version. You've got scars and tattoos as options but no articles of clothing (other than viewing what your character looks like in the starting gear for the four base vocations).

I want it to be like the first game where you enter a temple or something, they comment on how it's a sacred place we should treat with reverence, before immediately grabbing and smashing every urn, vase, pot, or crate they can find in search of loot You smash things yourself? That's what the pawn is for. Throwing them at the pottery I mean.

I cannot stop tweaking my main character + pawn at the last minute. Please help me decide on an appealing haircut for my pawn, I'm bad at this sort of thing. Most types of bangs are supposed to bring out striking eyes (and everyone loves Shadowheart's bangs and would never say anything bad about them obviously), so I want that to be a part of it, but beyond that I'm having trouble settling on a specific cut. Tell me which of these three you prefer: 1)   This is the one I have right now. I do like how voluminous it is, but I'm not sure about the way the lower part starts curling upwards. The whole thing seems slightly reminiscent of one of those retro sixties haircuts, which isn't necessarily the vibe I'm going for. 2)   Medium-length, mostly straight but slightly wavy. Not much to say about this one, but I don't consider that to be a bad thing, I often like straightforward simplicity. 3)   This one's very different in that there's a lot going on here - bangs, side bangs, and a braid. I like all the elements individually, but do they mesh well together? I am playing the most difficult game of all, Fashion's Dogma, pls help

Sloober posted:having played a significant number of 'mostly playable with gamepad but might require a keyboard' the game is telling you that you can type your character name in Yup, this is my experience too. The distinction between Mostly Playable as in "This game will pull up the virtual keyboard exactly once per new save and then will otherwise function to perfection." and Mostly Playable as in "This game is intended to be played like Nethack. Good luck, gamer." wasn't the clearest at first, since not having an in-game Final Fantasy style naming prompt is enough to deny a game the Plays Great green checkmark.

Fashion's Dogma is the best game.

Looks like the reviews are out. Just saw on this on PC performance "Dragon's Dogma 2 currently has high demands on hardware, with the Steam Deck struggling to run at playable rates and even high-end machines of an RTX4090 paired with an AMD 5800X3D CPU can drop into the 30s whilst in the denser populated towns."

re: controller chat. I use M&K because I've been playing PC games for like 30+ years and never owned a console and do not have the muscle memory for controllers. it's not a money thing. M&K works great for all sorts of FPS, RPGs, and so on. there's no reason it should not work well for this game unless the publisher absolutely does not give a poo poo. if DD1 played fine with M&K then DD2 should too.

Exactly what wanted to hear, from the Gamespot reviewquote:It’s not often that a cult classic gets the green light for a sequel, especially 12 years after the original game was released. Capcom hasn’t tried to make Dragon’s Dogma 2 more palatable to potentially attract a wider audience, either. It stuck to the first game’s core values and expanded upon them to create a bigger and better game that consistently delights in its approach to seamless exploration and the thrill of adventure. This means it feels very familiar in a lot of ways, but it’s a game for those who fell in love with the original, despite its flaws, and will hopefully find an entirely new audience who perhaps never gave the first game a chance. Even after 40 hours, my heart continues to grow fonder for this special game. It’s an exceptional achievement that’s quite unlike anything else, and I wouldn’t hesitate to place it amongst the pantheon of Capcom’s very best. turn off the TV posted:8bitdo ultimate controllers are basically cheaper xbox ones with better build quality so you won't get stick drift or bumpers that break after a year in exchange for a moderately poo poo dpad I prefer the Xbox ergonomics to the Ultimate.

K8.0 posted:Yeah the 8bitdo Ultimate 2.4g is the best Xbox style controller right now and has hall effect sticks. Have they fixed the issue of allowing xinput over bluetooth? The last time I tried it a few months ago, it was being detected only as a Switch Pro controller over bluetooth when connected to my PC, so it was incompatible with some GamePass games because they require xbox controllers. It also turned off analog triggers when connected via bluetooth due to acting as a switch controller, which was annoying for some games. I liked the controller but had to return it.

Unironically DD2 is Dragon's Dogma 2. It could have been a direct sequel with no time in between aside from the obvious visual/performance stuff not possible previously. It is unashamedly not inspired by any modern trends or trying to ape Souls or Skyrim or whatever. It's weird, janky, frequently strange, genuinely thinks that wasting your time is a feature and not a flaw, and it's much better for it. I don't want to say it is dated because it isn't really that it's dated. It is just unashamed of not following the trends of other modern fantasy/ARPG stuff, sometimes in good ways and sometimes in annoying ways.

DD1 had a metacritic of 75, I think this will be higher but imo lots of journos mistake what people like about this. Alot of the fans of the first love the weird unique poo poo. I don't think this is a sequel that is too different but that could still mean it's a great game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm-UG5j_LZ8 Also Cowboy who plays a lot of these games, said it's his first Action RPG since Elden Ring.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:What site? Pretty vague, but this is what Gamespot had to say about PC performance: The most noticeable misstep derives from Dragon's Dogma 2's performance on PC. My current rig exceeds the recommended specifications (aside from the CPU), and the game generally runs at around 60fps using the game's "High" preset. Sometimes it dips into the 40s and drops even lower inside villages and cities, but it's certainly playable, if a little unstable. The problem is that this performance is consistent across all visual settings, which leads me to believe it's a matter of poor optimization. I could've used the performance bump from lowering shadow quality and the like, but doing so has no effect. Ideally, this will be rectified with a day-one patch and driver updates, but it's not ideal at the time of writing.

Xbox controllers start drifting really really fast, last one I bought lasted barely a month or two before becoming drifting POS. One before them lasted a bit longer but always on a countdown. Have had the new PlayStation controller for a year and still no drift issues. PS controllers have historically been painful to hold for long but their current version is like a normal controller.

Rinkles posted:Would you say it has a lot of new ideas too, or is it mostly iterating on DD1? It absolutely has new ideas and cool new things and a lot of improvements, but it's not transformative. It does feel a lot like Dragon's Dogma 1 at times which I am not calling a flaw by any means because that is what I think it should be. But honestly just the huge open world feels amazing and the AI and reactivity creates some amazing situations. I had an ongoing rivalry with a loving gryphon who kept ambushing me while I was fighting other stuff and then flying away once it got hurt until I tracked its rear end down (it was still hurt from where I'd hurt it before) and put an end to it, and it wasn't a quest or anything, it was just generic gameplay.
