Dragon's Dogma 2

[Azure Sage]

This is a few days old now but I haven't really seen anyone here talk about it. The first game is 10 years old so this sequel was a long time coming. They ported the first game to the switch, which was how I was introduced. It was a lot of fun to play, though I thought some of the story and lore was pretty wacky. The sequel looks like more of the first game but better, and I can't really complain about that. I'm most excited to see the new classes. Too bad this isn't being developed for the switch... I plan to have a steam deck soon, though, I guess...

My main draw to it was the fact that you create two characters; the Arisen and the main pawn. Making my two main ocs together for this kept me going through four runs and 250+ hours. I hope to get the same out of the sequel.

I put a few hundred hours into the original release & now the Switch version, so I'm pretty excited- like, so much that it melted our original PS3 from overheating during Bitterblack Isle. I just didn't think to bring the game up here since it's somewhat obscure now. I do like that it seems to be a more realized version of the first game, personally. Ol Greg (Grigori) is looking FANTASTIC & it's what he deserves. I can't wait to fight him again. The revamped magic system in particular looks extremely fun to play around with, with a lot of new ways to use it beyond just standing there & shuffling around to cast something big.

I'm down for more Dragon's Dogma. The first game is one of my favorite bad games. I put a whole lot of time into both the PC version and the Switch port. One thing that worries me is what seems to be the return of Grigori. I'm not interested in just playing through that same storyline again. If they are then hopefully the meta rug gets pulled out from beneath our feet at some point.

Another showcase. Release date revealed; March 22nd 2024. They talk about what the story is going to be like, and also cover some worldbuilding, and they show off a new vocation, too. I really want a vocation that's like a knight class but with dual swords... But if not I might settle for mystic knight again.
