Then waifus will sell it. I'm sure of it!

Let's hope so. I'm all for more Dark Fantasy. The reality is consumers are going to see that NPC party rolling with you all controlled by A.I and say "why can't my friend control one of these?" There really is no excuse. Even Baldur's Gate 3 has co-op.

Great Googa Mooga, I cant wait

In a world where Elden Ring sold insanely well, I think this will do amazingly well. People hunger for more of that. Co-op or not.

no melee lock on and no dodge roll..... if anyone is expecting that this game ll be huge for casuals like Elden Ring was, maybe is time to re-evaluate ur expectations.

This game is basicaly Dragons Dogma Remake

ah yes because the defining features of Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom that lead to their massive roaring success was..... the dodge roll, and lock on mechanics. The pinnacle of combat game design and why TOTK is famous for having such good melee combat.

 

[RavageX]

Some of you complain about everything too damn much, geez.

I personally can't wait for this.

Yeah, I don't remember needing or missing lock on in Dragon's Dogma. It didn't need it for melee and I'm pretty sure it was automatic with some of the ranged spells like from the magic archer. Also didn't need or miss a roll since each class had abilities mapped to the face buttons for certain situations. It had amazing combat and DD2 seems to follow suit.

Fix your game before showing to the public that you want to sell it for. Wth?

I guess I sort of understand this protectiveness over "the fan's experience of the marketing", but...

As somebody who's spent maybe more time than actually playing games just thumbing through game magazines and reading websites and chatting on forums and combing through rumor mills for legit heads-up and futzing around at work trying to sneak some time into catching up on gaming news, it will never not be weird to me that people chatting on an enthusiast site will say, "No, do not offer me information."

Sekiro has no dodge roll, it has dodge step but its less of a dodging and more of side step, it has no I frame.

isnt it is called safety roll in the game?

however for Dragons Dogma, it is not the type of game where it is about player must need to read boss pattern and react based on reflex skill. it is the type of game where there is multiple way to tackle the enemy with flashy fun stunt and skills. get hit by monster few times is nothing (depend on the enemy ofcourse).

Thats when your posture breaks, you have small window to roll to safety and that only works when your posture breaks at end of enemy/boss's combo, if you posture breaks early in middle of the combo, you are fucked.

This looks so good. Can't wait for this one.

 

[Pejo]

Damn I think I found my first playthrough class...

 

[DavidGzz]

Eating good for sure. I already love this game.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

See Squeenix?

This is how you do a proper Action RPG.

 

[ssringo]

"Spinny spin...meh"
"Oh, short range teleport attack? Nice."
"Throw a corpse at another enemy with your mind!"
"Short range teleport onto climbable enemy?! YES!!"

 

[Dynasty8]

Now I see the reason for the 18+ rating.

Looks great.

 

[Svejk]

Ready for them to drop that monster, meaty trailer with a release date next month ... PLEASE!

 

[Ferdimage]

Hopefully Keighley has some saucy release date trailer in his files for next month.

This preview has me much more excited. The world building and exploring look fantastic. Combat still looks pretty janky but I can get over that if everything else is done well. And, In recent years, I have much more blind faith in Japanese developers curating a great open world compared to Western developers. At the very least, it will be very unique in its own way to separate it from other games

A glowing preview. Sounds very good.

 

[ChoosableOne]

I'm really excited for this game, but I still can't accept that it still looks like that old PS3 game.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

So it's even MORE amazing than I initially thought!

Ox Cart fast travel doesn't not take you where you want, but instead it takes you where it's currently headed to.

The more damage you take, the smaller your health bar becomes, forcing you to rest in camps or inns
And if you cook food in camp, there's the risk of attracting creatures!

This is how games should be designed!

but I still can't accept that it still looks like that old PS3 game.

Sorry but it looks NOTHING like the PS3 version other than the art direction.

When I first played the game back then, I had to deal with low resolution textures and black bars because the game had to run at a lower resolution.
I barely cared about the technical aspects issues because I was having so much fun with it.

I'd rather devs sacrifice graphics and focus on using the hardware for bringing us innovative and unique games.

Yeah. Looks like FF16.
