Jack B Nimble posted:Will the bow require shooter style aiming or does it support lock on style combat? Or both? I'm not personally a fan of shooting with a controller, but I definitely want to play a third person action game with one. This is sort of the problem I have with GTA and CP2077, where I want keyboard and mouse on foot and a game pad in a vehicle. You can use both in those games. Just pick up the controller when you need to. Going by the first game, this one is most definitely best played with controller. If you're an archer you'll shoot, but it won't be constant challenging shots that you need to line up in a split second. Captain Foo posted:The description of mystic spearhand sounds badass Yeah I played a plain Fighter in the first game, could be fun but definitely not too exciting. Mystic Spearhand is what I'd like to transition to most in this one.

The male character was much easier. I was wondering, are the face presets your choose just that, or do they add some factors that can't be changed with the sliders? And yeah, needs more hairstyles, beard styles, and tattoos.

I got the best friend lady. Forgot her name. Erin maybe? No clue what I did to make that happen besides rescuing her in the woods early in the game (which was a massive pain in the rear end because I was underleveled and the stronger bandits could kill me and my pawns in one hit), and maybe doing her guide quest to take her somewhere. At the time I was hoping for Mercedes but she went home as a result of some choices I made. Didn't know the jester was an option or I would've gone for that, hilarious Saxophone posted:On the one hand I’d really like to play this today.

So apparently total weight of your character does determine some things. Higher weight means you can carry more in your inventory, and vice versa. Lower weight means your stamina recovers more quickly, and vice versa. Oh, and according to the release times it'll be coming 5 PM today on the west coast US. I hope whatever janky key shop I bought the code from makes it available to me then. https://www.ign.com/articles/dragons-dogma-2-global-release-times-confirmed Khanstant posted:The last several games I played that had horrible performance ran great on my machine despite people insisting that no, it was impossible, the game runs poorly for everyone here's some goober chart to disprove your lived experience, and that really sucks for their assmar but not mine. That's generally my experience, especially since I play at 1080p with a locked vsync 60 fps. Most games run really well with some notable exceptions (Star Wars Jedi Survivor which by all accounts was an absolute loving disaster for literally everyone and they never fixed it). I'm slightly concerned about this one though. I've got a quite old i7-8700k, and unfortunately that's about the best CPU my motherboard can run. I will be upgrading my board and CPU soonish, just hoping that I'm able to play this comfortably and it stays around 60 fps. I think I can get there, if necessary by tweaking some settings.

Tarezax posted:I have the same processor and from what I can tell from the PCgamer benchmarks the game will have no issues hitting 60 fps out of town but will probably drop to 30-ish average FPS in town Honestly that's probably fine, as long as it's not frequently plunging and then rising back up. Lower fps isn't a big deal, big loving stutters definitely are though. Shaman Tank Spec posted:Yes, that's the official line. But absolutely nothing I've seen in my 25 hours is so next level poo poo that mere mortal computers just can't handle it. I mean that line is definitely true according to the testing. It is CPU limited. Whether they optimized that aspect as well as they could've, well probably not.

Khanstant posted:Hmm on the other hand I feel like I cheat away inventory weight in games that have it the first time I have to weight manage and it's not contributing to a game loop I enjoy. Hard to pass up stamina increases in any case, Zelda and darks souls I go all in on endurance until I don't have to worry about the green meters anymore. Yeah I think I'll just go somewhere in the middle. Inventory management was a reasonably large pain in the first game, running out constantly is not fun. But stamina is all important in battle. There are useables that restore stamina, thankfully and if it's like the first game you'll eventually have a lot of that. Also, armor feeds into carry weight so if you want to wear really strong, heavy armor a heavier weight is probably better. I'll probably make my pawn pretty large, they can be my beast of burden.

madfury posted:I couldnt really go through ever post. Anyone already got their key from GMG? Am I the last guy on the planet to get mah game or is it normal that keys dont go out before the release? Waiting on mine from CDKeys.com. Bit concerned since it says it'll be available March 22, but in my region the game comes out this evening at 5 PM. Gonna be v sad if I can't play today. Tenacious J posted:I don't know much about much, but are these performance issues things that can likely be fixed with patches? maybe yes, maybe no. Literally impossible to know for sure. Most games I would say do improve significantly. The extent to which they fixed Cyberpunk was truly extraordinary, it ended up being probably the most impressive looking and playing game in history even on not great hardware. Star Wars Jedi Survivor literally never fixed its frame drops and stuttering. They tried for a while and then Respawn completely gave up, which I thought was pretty pathetic. acksplode posted:MH World is not on RE engine. Both those games have big environments, if RE engine had limitations around large populated environments they'd be apparent on Rise. The fidelity of the graphics in Rise as well as the size of the arenas really can't be compared to something like DD2. Imagining this game trying to run on Switch like that one did is actually hilarious, that could never happen. The Steam Deck can't even handle this game and I bet Rise runs just fine on it.

Ytlaya posted:It was improved a lot from release, at least on PC. At release, there was literally nothing I could do to achieve 60fps in some areas (like the starting Coruscant) - even at 1080p and everything Low, it would still be like 50fps. After the various patches, I can easily get 80-90 at 4k, and 120 with framegen (though Jedi Survivor's framegen adds a weird shimmer to things that I don't like). I'm sure that's true, but I got the game way after release and while average framerate was at least okay, the stuttering was completely ludicrous. Every time it happens it just instantly takes you out of the experience. Feels cheap, lovely, and even makes some people feel ill. No setting did a single thing to help. Khanstant posted:If denuvo were clever they'd make the download shared versions have denuvo but paying customers get the clean version. If there is a single copy of any game anywhere that is given to the public without Denuvo, it'll be instantly pirated. This recently happened with Lies of P, the developer (accidentally it seems) uploaded a version to steam for a patch that didn't have Denuvo and now it's available to torrent. They probably didn't lose that much from it though, if someone was going to buy the game they likely already would've a while ago. In fact, I'd suggest that all games after a year or so should remove Denuvo. Who cares at that point.

Can you start as a Warrior in this one? I think you can only do Fighter, Thief, Archer and Mage to start and the other ones become available at a certain level.Babe Magnet posted:yeah my only concerns would be if they make it a pain in the rear end to get a full-character re-customization items like in MonHun, or if the portcrystals are super limited like they were pre-dark-arisen I don't think there are any full character re-customization except for hairstyles but I could be wrong. Portcrystals are insanely rare, you will probably only get a few in a playthrough. I assume you're talking about ferrystones though. Those are insanely rare too.

Had a great time playing last night. It's far from perfect but man, it is so goddamn Dragons Dogma (by the way looked up what he's called in Japan to see if it had a different name but it's just Doragonzu Doguma which I humbly propose should replace the English name in the thread title). Performance is what people were saying. Looks okay, I'm getting a locked sixty in the wilderness and thirty to forty in town with picture quality on max and every setting on high, no ray tracing. The VRAM warning can safely be ignored, as reported its the CPU, my GPU didn't even work particularly hard. They need to fix the performance in town, frankly, I'm not letting them slide on that but it's been completely playable. Also, I'm not getting big stutters. It's a relatively smooth drop and it stays stable around thirty to forty in town. Playing as a Thief for the first time (well I guess it's a new class but all I played in the first one was fighter). Really enjoying their tools, extremely happy with that choice. Combat is really really fun, ALTHOUGH I am finding it a bit easy. I've died all of one time after falling off a cliff, and I've amassed a massive pool of health items already straining my inventory. To be fair I did run away from a minitaur without fighting it because I decided my squad wasn't ready, but mostly I've just been stomping. Maybe I should push into higher level areas. The music and world design is superb, the quest system is extremely this game which is great, overall loving it despite it's weaknesses, just like the first game I guess. E: one more criticism: I really, really wish there was an FOV slider. The camera is too drat close.

Fighting Elegy posted:How's the story/world building/context and open world stuff for this adventure? This is way more like Fallout than Dark Souls, in terms of gameplay I'd say. The combat isn't that hard assuming you are decently leveled. The story is there, it's okay, it guides you along and there are some good moments, but it's not some grand story with a bunch of cutscenes. Vast majority of the time will be spent adventuring and exploring and kind of creating your own stories. In terms of storytelling it's closer to dark souls but a lot more involved, and yeah the world is kind of a massive dungeon. Honestly doesn't sound like she has a terrible read on the game. Story and quests are there to spur you on into different areas, and a lot of the time there's not a lot to them.

I'm getting thirty to forty in the big city on a very old i7-8700k. Didn't turn DLSS on since it didn't seem necessary, but I don't think that's what is helping. If it's truly CPU calculations then DLSS would make no difference, I think?

Horace Kinch posted:So I heard DD2 is super unoptimized. Confirm/deny? Iffy about pulling the trigger on this. Not sure how much of the negativity I'm seeing elsewhere is exaggerated nerdrage or legitimate grievances. Confirm. It's very playable but the framerate goes down significantly for pretty much everyone in the big cities. How much depends on your hardware but it's CPU related so if you have a new CPU with a lot of threads and cores you'll be doing better than me with my old i7, where I'm getting thirty to forty at 1080p

Nuebot posted:Eat lots of berries? Half my weight is in apples right now and I had to stop turning them into brews so I don't become too heavy to keep going. I had no idea there were item shortcuts. Is up health then? Nuebot posted:Also I feel like I'm doing something wrong, climbing on enemies kind of sucks now? Pretty much any time they move you get locked into a really long "grab hold so you don't fly off" animation that consumes like half of my stamina and also you can't just jump off of them during this animation, so if they do that while I'm at half stamina I get to just fall off and take most of my health in damage then get hit and die. Also it takes most of my stamina just to reach the head of a cyclops or whatever. Press rt (or whatever grab is for you) again to release your hold, sometimes that is necessary. I haven't had any issues climbing, but it could be related to class and armor as well. I'm playing a thief which probably has better stamina than a huge fighter or warrior. Also, if you want to stay grabbed on longer just use a stamina item to recoup so you can stay on there. explosivo posted:I'm loving Ensnare on the thief, so much fun yanking the legs of an off balance giant to cause it to fall over. Ensnare and it's upgrade is so good, both for small monsters (especially harpies of course) and big ones. Small ones instantly get knocked over and you can just wail on them. Also helm splitter. Helm splitter is loving crazy good, especially with elemental on it, literally just melts health bars so fast. Zodack posted:That's good confirmation I guess, serves to make me more paranoid but I've absolutely had NPCs go "Arisen, I'm worried about this thing. Maybe you could look at it?" and I check my quest log and nothing. Could be the quest is picked up at a different point but the timer still runs? Feels pretty Dragon's Dogma I think those are like tertiary quest information people, sometimes you need to find the actual quest giver maybe?
