Can someone explain what the op means by saying the graphics are better on PS3? I'm still torturing myself with which version to get. I'm surprised to hear that everyone is saying the ps3 is the one to get in the last day or 2 considering how much better the Xbox demo ran.

Am I crazy or is the mini map confusing as hell? Edit: Oh man you can change it to rotate. What on earth isn't that the default?!

A few questions...Why is my health seem to be at the half way mark even if it appears to be full? Also, Do I do anything when I level up or is everything automatic? Finally, my bow occasionally fires powerful fire arrows but I can't tell what is triggering it. Am I building up a meter that leads to that or something?

Thanks. So far this game has been pretty much what I was expecting and I'm digging it. There are some glaring flaws but none of them really bother me aside from the lack of enemy lock on which is loving killing me. Hopefully I can used to it. Also, much tougher than I was expecting which is nice.

Is the dodge roll move the strider had in the demo a learned ability?

Holy poo poo Pawns and enemies alike sure like to suicide themselves! After a couple of hours I am loving this game. So generic on the surface but all of the mechanics are new and unusual.

Ok, is it normal to get completely owned towards the beginning? I am fighting some worms and they kill me in about 2 hits and take a solid minute a piece to kill. There must be a dozen of them too. I just keep taking fireballs in the rear end that instantly kill me if i have so much as a sliver of life missing.

Sorry to repeat myself but can someone tell me when the strider gets a dodge move?

I'm hoping this will change when I can hire better one, but so far pawns have been nothing but an absolutely goddamn worthless nuisance. they just die every 5 loving seconds and then get me killed when I trying to revive them.

coyo7e posted:Better than asking the same question twice in an hour in the same thread, without reading the responses! Actually I did read them and that's why your post was redundant Allright no more derail. If anyone is wondering when exactly strider gets a dodge it's level 15. I'm hoping that at some point I get a bow that permanently has magic attributes. it's a bummer sitting around crossing my fingers that a pawn is going to bless me with them. Fire literally makes poo poo like 5 times more powerful. Plus it makes it so i can't personally do damage to enemies immune to melee unless I'm blessed. So far, man. This game is just awesome even if it's kind of frustrating at times. Really glad I didn't let mediocre reviews get me down.

This game is weird and awesome. I have never played anything like it. There are just so many weird design choices and everything is just so organic and interactive. I love it. The best thing about it me though, is that it a totally open world but it doesn't feel like it. Most open world games sacrifice the action in favor of choice but DD feels so much like an action game that I keep having to remind myself that I can indeed fall off that cliff, go in that little corner, or climb on top of a castle for no reason. It takes something special to make me forget Diablo 3 exists for a whole day.

Ok, so i ran into this really hosed up problem. This is how my game looks at night now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mveC6Oi2ll0 The camera quality is lovely but if you look at the sky in the video, that is how everything looks in the game for me. It's the game not my camera. It's has made it totally unplayable at night. It's like watching a migraine and i can't even see enemies.The during the day it looks just fine... I don't remember this being a problem last night.

Wow,I just lost 3 hours of progress and I have no idea why. I really like this game but it is absolutley broken beyond anything I have ever played in my entire life. I am drat tempted to try and take it back to the store. That poo poo is just final loving straw.

I literally can't wrap my mind around the save system in this game. I am trying to do this quest "A fortress besieged". I ran around trying to find this loving red circle forever, killed a Chimera, a dragon and a couple of ogres amongst 100's of trivial enemies. This took a really long time. Eventually I decided to try and run back because I couldn't figure out where to go. I had saved probably 5 times over the course of this and decided to reload my game at the thieves castle. "Reload Checkpoint" meant bumping back to Cassardis. all of my saves ignored, no way to load my save without literally existing the game, checpoint means wherever the gently caress we felt like saving last. Whoever thought this save system up needs to get punched in the loving balls. I have never been so pissed off at a game in my life.

Samurai Sanders posted:That's bizarre, I have never had it not reload my latest save game available, be it my manual save or an automatic checkpoint save. Maybe it just glitched then? I have just had horrible luck with this game in a technical sense. Broken saves, broken vendors, broken graphics, broken skill upgrading...It's like completely loving game ruining. I have no faith that anything i do will actually work. I seem to be the only one with this problem though so i don't know what the gently caress. Seriously all this poo poo just about killed my motivation to play anymore, which sucks because I like Dragon's Dogma so much outside of the tech problems i have had. Shardok posted:Do not pick Reload from Last Checkpoint. Always pick the Retry option or just quit game and reload entirely. Both work. And your old saves should still exist right now if you quit game and reload. Tried that. It's gone. It just loads from the place it bumped me back to. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 09:38 on May 24, 2012 |

Shima Honnou posted:Kinda disappointed in the variety of items thus far, and the RPG-style restrictions against using "non-class" gear. This has definitely not been my experience with the Strider so far. You realize loot is found pretty much exclusively in chests and shops as opposed to enemy drops right?

Shima Honnou posted:Where do I find quests that will bring me into dungeons? The only one I found was from one of my many cousins in Cassardis, to go into the well and kill a group of saurians (and a few bandits). All I found down there was some sort of chestpiece that I cannot recall the name of, which I've been wearing since. The main quest guy in the capital is going to probably be your best bet if you ares still haging around the first village doing errands.

Loofa08 posted:I'm level 17. I get rocked by bandits. It's not that I can't handle them. It's just that it seems like I'm just wandering aimlessly due to the quest structure being loving terrible. I just went up this huge mountain, fought 2 trolls in a row. Then got to the top and fought a shitload of bandits. Now I'm not even sure if I got what I was here for. Because the quest isn't updating. It never ends. The bandits are easily the hardest/shiitist part of the game.Not like challenging hard either they are just cheap as gently caress. I'm level 29 and I don't know if I can finish this main quest mission because they are so overpowered. They just keep rocking me over and over.

Schubalts posted:I wonder what kind of bandits you guys are fighting. I'm having no trouble with them at level 24 outside of escort quests, and only then because this rented mage pawn just won't heal them if only they get hurt (and they get bumrushed constantly). 80% of them are easy as hell and every now and then there will be random groups of obscenely overpowered ones. Or maybe I'm underleveled I dunno. Samurai Sanders posted:If you mean that huge group of them near the fort, I did them at level 28 without any kind of special preparations, it can be done. Just go after the weak ones first until only those crazy sword sponge fighters are left, surround them and murder them. Took them out, although they were one of the insanley hard bandit packs I have run into. It's the ones in the tight canyon on the way to Bluemoon tower. I'm seriously at a loss. I can sometimes get through the first wave but it's a bitch and the second wave wastes me.

Samurai Sanders posted:I think the blacksmith in Gran Soren will always have the best stuff available, not counting a few odds and ends that traveling vendors have. Stuff seems to unlock as you do quests. Also so far my best stuff has come from chests, not from him. Ah, I thought he was tapped because he hasn't gotten anything new in like 6 quests. This game needs more vendors or loot drops. ...and more stamina

So, I kind of feel like I have hit a brick wall. I have hit a point in the main quest where it's impossible to beat the mission I am on, then I go and try to find side missions to level up and every loving one of them is some vague gathering quest with no waypoints or anything. At this point should I just gently caress around on the map? I can't find anything to do with any sort of direction. Everything is just like "I could use 3 balls, can u find me 3 balls somewhere on earth...? thanx bro"
