No the newest one. Revelations 2 or something? I dunno, don't follow RE that closely.
Definitely don't see why they wouldn't give this the SFV treatment. Unifying the playerbase on this game makes 100% sense, too.please be cross-platform play...

Still rock hard over that Fighter perfect blocking that dragon's charge IN MID AIR.

God's had his chance.
What about magic in the dark?
All well and good. Any DD vet that has seen 3 High Bolides going off at once knows the lightshow to follow is the thing of dreams...
BUT
Can you even wrap you mind around even just TWO assassins on either shoulder of an Ogre digging for gold inside his bone marrow with gouge?
Or multiple Powder Blasts going off at once?
Or a triple Clairvoyance?
The death. Oh... the death.
It's not like the single greatest advertising bit for Capcom for all of last year wasn't from Nintendo.
Saw all 18 pages of scans
Looks like the trailer completely skipped over the story part of the game
The character faces look so much more attractive and refined now
Not sure I like that...
Best part of the game
I can choose any vocation and still feel like the star player

I'm sure you'll still be able to create monstrosities.
Let's be honest, the pawn Sorcerers fall to the nuclear option pretty much 100% of the time. My personal favourite was casting of a High Maelstrom upon a single Dire wolf.
The silly bugger just crouched there, growling but not going for the offense while the rest of us were just chilling a few meters away from the sorc....
I never understood why she didn't cast High Bolide instead, but eh, High sorcery is High sorcery.

It's not DD then? I mean I'm glad people are excited, but I really couldn't care less about online gaming. It can't be thaaaat astonishing.
Combat looks as fun as ever, though!

Uh huh.
I am sure that F2P is a wonderful moniker that all gamers love and should feel very happy about every time it is attached to their favorite franchise.`

People want a new Elder Scrolls game too. They gave us ESO. People bitched for a reason.

Imagine an Action RPG made by the Japanese Devil May Cry team. Because that's what Dragon's Dogma is, literally.
The combat is as amazing as you'd expect and way ahead of everything else in the genre. There are definitely some rough edges but they nailed the core gameplay so well that it's a game that's unique in the genre. Once you've tried combat like this it's very hard to go back to other RPGs.
Yeah, its also pretty good about rewarding exploration too as theres almost always something good waiting for you if you go out of your way to explore somewhere. It just need to improve on characters, world and crafting to elevate the game to the next level.
yep.I see a lot of people saying that only the combat was great, and everything else was just mediocre but I really enjoyed the world and exploration just as much. Had a great mood and setting imo, combined with a great day/night cycle. The fact that you could also basically platform and climb anything, combined with class skills, like double jump or levitating really added to this world and exploration. Was fun running around on top of castles and town rooftops and finding hidden shit everywhere. Or finding new ways to travese the environment.
I hope none of this is lost in DDO.
The only major change I would want is to steamline the inventory managment, or just a better UI in general. I should be able to do anything when looking at an item. If Im looking at a certain item, I shouldnt have to back all the way out of several layers if menus, find the new menu, find the exact same item again just to do something different with it or see different info about it. I wouldnt mind them reducing the amount of items a bit as well, but I doubt that will happen.
Mainly, as I am a hoarder, and was constantly over-encumbered, Never knowing if I would need a certain item while out and about. So I tried to keep a good mix of everything on me and my pawns. And getting back to town it would take me like an hour to figure out what I wanted to sell or use, etc. It eventually made me give up on the game, even though I adored it. I just know they will MT strength or inventory slots. Ugh, already hating it.
Besides that, the story and quests were generally ok by me, but I wouldnt mind them getting improved and more variety as well.

PSO2 is a damn successful F2P action RPG, and pretty much nothing gameplay related is a microtransaction. If they're smart, they'll do what the most successful PC ones have been doing, and rely on cosmetic upgrades for that kind of thing.
Stamina meters aren't all that common in the PC F2P market here in Japan. It's mostly previous year's holiday items, cosmetic upgrades, and customization options.
That would be the smartest way to go, honestly.

I'd say the exploration was great and rewarding in Dark Arisen in the newly added area, but it could have been improved a lot in the original game. It felt like it was 80% there, and needed more "stuff" to be filled in.
I think there's a pretty good chance that DDO could provide that.
They've been shifting away from stamina and just impacting your drop rate while letting you still play or having reduced XP.
I wouldn't expect it to be that bad.
I'll probably play the JP version if possible. PSO2 is amazingly responsive so hopefully it's like that.

They should have monetized the original... I'd have paid $10 for a potion that shut the pawns the fuck up for a few hours lol
Hype decreasing after reading the heinous shit they've pulled with MHO.

fixed that for you.
Even though this joke was made before here, I still loled.

also they said they already got the game rated (in Japan) and are at the stage of adjusting game balance. They said they will be done with the test version soon.
Hope you can chat it up with that Dragon.

Where the first game had you lead the pawns on a quest to slay the Dragon (arrogance), could it be that you're now working for this new Dragon?
Well that dragon does seem to be leaving that big ol' city nice and unburned. And it's got a winning smile. Who wouldn't want to work of it?
I know they said that the land and story/characters were going to be new, but I hope the lore behind Dragon's Dogma is still the same in Online. The game got really interesting in it's last third, and I want to know more about the dragons.
Tales from my ass: we know that dragons (DD Spoilers)
are the Arisens defeated by the Seneschal. They turn into dragons and search for a new Arisen to become the new God. Also we know that dragons can't help but follow the will of Seneschal, but maybe that white Dragon is inmune to his influence orders and wants to break the cycle... or something.
Do you not see the difference between wanting a sequel to DD, and not wanting an MMO f2p with Microtransactions DDO?
People also wanted a new Elder Scrolls. Instead, we got a shitty EverQuest clone (although it wasn't made by the same developers and we will of course get a new elder scrolls game eventually but still). People, especially me, wanted KOTOR 3, instead, we get the abomination that is SWTOR with one of the developers having the audacity to say that the game is KOTOR 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.
Why developers/publishers continue to half-ass or completely ignore demanded sequels to praised games for a much unneeded and much riskier MMO game, I will never know.
Watch Valve next year announce a Half Life MMO.

Perhaps
the cycle is already broken? The question is: did using the Godsbane on yourself break the cycle because there is no new Arisen to take up the mantle of Seneschal? That's how I interpreted it. If so, the story could revolve around the fact that there is no Seneshal anymore, no Maker to guide things and keep the world(s?) in order.
yeah its true, forgot that, maybe the white dragon is takin the role of a new kind of Seneschal.
Or maybe DD:O happens in another dimension. I think pawns says that there are different worlds (and Seneschals) but can't remember exactly..

This game will definitely be out in JP by the end of this year.

I think the "different worlds" only refer to other players' worlds and shouldn't be taken too literally.

The translation to ingame isn't that spectacular though. God, I hope this game will knock me off my feet.

So there are Uruk-Hais in DDO now? xD
When is this coming out anyway? Have they announced anything resembling a date or even a year?

The only thing we know is 2015 for Japan.
Hype rising. I really want to Masterfully Kill that orc with dual blades.
Looks like it might be weak to fire.
