For full transparency, I can remove the video right now with no problem cuz I'm not being paid to talk about the game, there is no contractual obligation. I got to make an official pawn character for the game, I didn't get paid for this at all, no one who was invited to make official pawns got paid. I didn't know about microtransactions because there weren't any in the preview period, on any store fronts, or even in the game itself, there is literally no in-game vendor or any real world cash items. Finally, I have a super computer so I experienced minimal at most frame drops in cities. I didn't make this video to trick you into buying a game. I mostly make videos about games I love, I have finished the game at 70 hours (true ending and all) and still think it's an amazing action RPG. I don't know what else to say about this kind of thing anymore. It's left me very cynical about even making videos. Maybe I should stick to covering older games, because even when I feel like I'm doing something right something always goes wrong. I'm sorry if you felt tricked by my praise for the game, it wasn't my intention. You don't have to buy it, you never have to play it. If you feel this strongly about its issues, take it up with capcom and don't buy it. We as TH-camrs/Streamers can't do much for Capcom's decision making process about microtransactions but we can talk about the performance which we are doing, we are mentioning this stuff. But please be patient with those of us who've only experienced the game in its best possible way.
suzy youre the goat, people dont realize that all of these mtx THAT CAPCOM ISNT FORCING THEM TO BUY, is all attainable in game. MHW, MHR, RE2R, RE3R, RE4R, RE8 and DMC5 all had pointless mtx and nobody complained about them.

I never expected this game to get so much public attention! I fell in love with the first, so it’s amazing to see the second game enter the public spotlight like this! As I’m sure you’re also happy to see.
It's because apparently it's really good. Also the first built up a bit of a cult following over time. That happens sometimes with deserving games that didn't get the limelight they deserved when they released That's happened many times with books, nice to see it happening with games too
Love your voice, also nice outfit! I remember how many people wanted a remaster or sequel and thought the time will never come. Soo good to see we have it now :)
Looks great. And for those who are criticising this review for not talking about Microtransactions, I do believe they had that system entirely removed during the game - so the reviewers, all of them apparently, did not know Microtransactions were going to be present in the final product. I believe this, because NO pre-review talked about it - and even when members of the public had street-date broken early copies, no one mentioned it. It’s almost certainly something Capcom knew would be poorly received and so they waited until release before activating this system. If this is the case, I do not blame the early reviewers for not telling us about microtransactions - because they did not know themselves. You may think that Capcom bribed them - I don’t think all of them would have accepted, and I don’t think all of them would have done that, because of the cost of their reputation. Rock-Paper-Shotgun, a very pro-consumer, very honest site, also did not mention micro-transactions. RPS is rock solid in terms of its honesty - it didn’t talk about microtransactions, because it didn’t know about them. SphereHunter didn’t mention the microtransactions, likely for the same reason. I suppose I could be wrong and ALL reviewers, professional and amateur alike, somehow all colluded with each other to not talk about microtransactions, but I find that unlikely. At least one would have, if only for the fame of getting the scoop of the month.
The snorty-chortle at "HOT AF" had me smiling and giggling. This is genuinely a great review! And if I hadn't already pre-ordered it, this certainly would've convinced me!!!
For years, my dream game announcement at any of the various E3 and SGF presentations was a new Dragon's Dogma. So I'm still amazed this game exists. I can't wait to dive in. Thanks for the great review, Suzi!
Yoooo, Suzi's KILLING it with the outfit, as usual. Been looking forward to DD2 for a while now., my wife and I can't wait to dive into it. SUPER excited to test out the Duospears, they look sick.
OKAY FINE I'M GONNA TRY DRAGON'S DOGMA your enthusiasm has thrown me over the edge and I'm finally ready to give this big scary thing a try. Thanks, Suzi.
I’ve been looking forward to this review. Your RE 4 remake review last year was amazing as well, safe to say Capcom nailed it again with this one. Amazing review as always. 🥰
Ditto! Haven't played since the PS3 (never fully tried the Dark Arisen content) and frankly talk of the 2 made me want to give it another try! Lucky for my Switch, they had a sale a few days ago that dropped the game to 4.99 so I bought it, playing it! And I'm loving the game again! I guess starting with the vanilla version and being tired out by the time the Dark Arisen stuff came in and made corrections made me not want to try it again, but now decades older, wiser and a STRONGER system (as in faster loading with my Switch OLED) I'm just retrying and Vocations I dismissed like Mystic Knight and Ranger are growing on me, along with loving all the lines I missed that still repeat in my head ("They're Masterworks all, you can't go wrong!" for example LOL) I'm also wiser to the "cut off points" and have experienced OTHER combinations systems that I can better utilize my items and such and work with the pawns more! Loving every fight I come across. And crossing hands from other reviews of early copies that it gives me an experience similar yet DIFFERENT then Tears of the Kingdom! That Zelda is different then DD which is more Monster Hunter meets Dark Souls (not that MH isn't "DS" in it's own ways, just in atmosphere! I get DD: DA was STEEP in "Hey remember BERSERK" along with the ENTIRE Soulsbourne series of games! But I think that charm is WHY I liked Dragons' Dogma!) but I think the larger "Tears of the Kingdom/Breath of the Wild" LIKE world does good for Dragon's Dogma! (Just hope travel is less ANNOYING then it is in Dragon's Dogma! I swear I love exploring, but moving around normally is GOD awful annoying, even before you feel up the map! Should have had major points in DD1 have portal points and just let us use the Portal Crystal as a limited placeable teleporter! With how Tears of the Kingdom did this! Hope they took THAT into account along with LIMITING the amount of items needed for combinations and such so you're not WEIGHTING yourself down with trash and crap that ends up useless as you wonder "what the fuck this does!" (I do love DISCOVERY, but SOME hand holding can be nice as in "give me a manual or something" if you're not going to spoil!) But I have confidence in the team that they took lessons from other games AND past mistakes in Dragon's Dogma (that Dark Arisen was meant to remedy but still some flaws were still there even if they were MINOR instead of annoyingly big) to make a damn good experience (Especially what I loved about DD: DA is that EVERY choice is viable, like choosing to go it alone, go with a party of pawns, or just your own pawn and any combination of vocations or the vocations themselves are viable so you never feel you HAVE to reset the game to make a vocation good! You're choices effect if it's good from when you get in it or you have to work abit to make it good cause you made an OOPS early on) Plus hoping they EXPAND on the story established! We know multiverse will be involved with how the story of the first game was even if it's "a different world" per say! (Plus happy elves are here, felt weird making an ELF character in DD1 when no elf exist in that game and no indication other races sans the monsters existed! Now let Dwarves be a race in this and we can justify Dwarf character's! I'll be making my first character in DD2 the new Beastren race)
I feel so very grateful that you exist, and that you offer your sound on what you love in an extremely enchanting way. Watching this video I feel you are clearly in your ‘Ikigai’ as the Japanese say. I am very excited to play this sequel and intrigued to see more of your videos.
I am not a content creator so I am not going to pretend that I know how it feels to be hated by a lot of people on the internet. With that said you still have 11K people liking your video and 1447 disliking it, while that is not the best ratio there are still nearly 8 TIMES more people enjoying and approving your video compered to the people disliking it.. focus on that.
I liked it, but it felt disappointing to me. Not enough monsters to fight, not enough content and while i loved exploring, the rewards themselves weren't all that interesting.
This is kinda random but besides the awesome review as always, I think this is my favorite thumbnail art on your channel so far. I followed the link to check out more of the artist and found out it was Dilara Özden herself, a phenomenal artist and a fellow countrywoman of mine. I really appreciate that you're putting more eyes on her work since it definitely needs more of those with how good it is. And it's always really cool to see you collab with seasoned professionals in the games industry. It's a wild crossover event that I never expect each time. Much love
@@Amanofan7777You can use an emulator on a PC and even on a phone I think. Or if you have an old PSP lying around, you can mod that to play PS1 games. PSXe for PC has resolution settings you can mess with so it looks better on newer TVs.
I heard this game is one of those games people are having fun getting to actually explore. I personally can't wait to play this when i finish playing Resident Evil 2 remake. My first time playing and i am on the edge playing it on hard.
Hey Suzi, I just want you to know that most of us truly understand that your review has no correlation to the capcom microtransaction controversy. So please keep being positive and dont feel discourage about expressing your opinion on upcoming video games. I hope all the luck come to you.
Came across your channel a few years ago its been a fun insightful time and I'm always appreciative/looking forward to when you upload something. The amount of time , effort and passion you put into your videos shows. If you do keep creating awesome, if not no worries. Wish you the best of luck in this life and whatever you do, take care and cheers ❤
I really wish they would of made a coop mode where you can jump into other people's games and play as your pawn. Obv your hero character has to stay on there own world because they're the chosen one but being able to play coop with your friends as your pawn and level them up that was as an alternative would of been really cool!
Armor sets are hot AF *snort* 😅 (subscribed) Thank you for loving this awesome game. I'm having a blast playing it and was happy to come across a video that wasn't filled with negativity surrounding superficial stuff that doesn't even take anything away from an amazingly awesome experience.
Loved your video Miss Suzi. It was very informative and fun to watch. Busy with some other game's right now. But can't wait to start another great fantasy story.
When the Parasite Eve piano theme hit at 9:13 I was so surprised and got so lost in how beautiful it is that I had to rewind because I wasn't paying attention to anything else. 😂😬 Great video overall, love getting your insight on Capcom games!😮
As a DD1 fan I have alot of gripes with this game. It's way too short and way too small. In vernwurth it was fine things were going at a good pace. The moment you get to the second area the game just throws away previous characters and stories and just rushes you to the end. They showed off everything in trailers, the colossus is the second last boss and they showed everything about that boss. They left no secrets to discover. It just feels like the devs just wanted to be done with this project they just didn't want to develop it anymore they just wanted to be done
@@FelisImpurrator Because they showed Medusa, the Sphinx, the headless horseman and the colossus (2nd last boss of the game btw) thats not to mention they also showed all enemies, vocations and most skills leaving very little to see that we didn't already see in trailers.
I dont know what the issue is with some peoples games, but ive seen griffons just straight up quit and dive bomb into the water to die, its astounding to see.
Another wonderful video. Please, don't take all the negativity to heart. This is the internet after all, so a grain of salt will always serve you well. You did great, and thnak you for another video.
Other than some technical issues... The game still has some of the same issues as the first game did 12 years ago. Repetitive dialogue with your pawns, though not as much but still a lot. No swimming and no mounts. You can end up getting high affinity with a character that you would otherwise have no romantic interest in, but the game assumes you do, so you might even end up getting a kid like Trysha just because you helped her with the mage quest to get the master skills. Which is pretty messed up. There is not enough interactions with your pawns, any small talk you can have with them are just pieces of dialogue they usually say anyway while you're roaming around the map. You can get away with murder pretty easily by just picking people up and tossing them from a high height. You still can loot items, valuables, and even food and money from peoples homes, and it won't count as theft because the game still has no bounty system. In the case of Trysha i couldn't complete the mage master quest, she kept telling me she is studying, and the quest log told me to visit her in a few days, but it had been weeks. Basically the game doesn't tell you that her grandma needs to be alive in order for you to complete the quest, and Trysha herself doesn't react to her being dead. The list goes on and on. But you get the point it's ridiculous. For some reasons some things have become worse here. Other than the now reduced 4 weapon skills only, there is also the missing jump up while clinging to an enemy, which really helped scale them a bit faster, at the cost of more stamina. The Strider and Assassin class are gone, and they didn't bother for some reason putting in something as basic as a dodge roll mechanic. The double jump is gone too, and the closest thing to it is the Concussive Leap, but that is weapon skill so just to jump higher will cost you a weapon skill slot. In the first game sometimes you could sit in a camp and chat with your pawn and tell them to be more reticent, and/or more offensive or defensive etc. Because even though the now personality choices affects some of that, they all still don't know when to shut the f*** up. Anyone who has played this game for more than 50 hours will tell you. This is a fun game, great in many ways, but outdated in so many other ways. It should not be acceptable for a game to have so many problems that the first one had, and even make some things worse. This game is far from "Amazing". It's great, it's fun, graphically looks impressive. But Skyrim even without mods has better attention to detail than this. Example: A kid loses his parents? He is gonna become an orphan and the dialogue changes in Skyrim, he gets sent to an orphanage. In Dragons Dogma 2? No dialogue changes, nothing. And there are many examples like this throughout the game. It really takes you out of the experience and constantly reminds you that this is just a game. The game is still worth getting. But i'd say wait when it's 50% off.
It’s always funny when Canadians and Australians try to make it seems like they’re paying an extra 40 USD.. like, no. Euros and CAD are not the same bro.
I've already spent several hours making my main and various pawns (like bully maguire, larry david) no idea who I'm going to pick on Friday. loved the insight into this and more excited for it now than ever.
This may not be a big deal for some, but my biggest issue with this game is that it does not have an option to sell items to any vendor from your storage, you or your pawns must be carrying them in your inventory. I'm not sure but I think this applies to the upgrade materials as well if you want to Enhance your weapons/armor. This feature was in original DD and made inventory management very fun.
Yeah, it makes no sense having us lug back and forth between the inn and the vendor to sell all our stuff because we also have virtually no inventory space. A lot of mechanics in DD2 feel like 2 steps back in design when most of DD:DA was already perfect.
Your input greatly influences mine. I already was into DD2 before, and even with the PC issues, it has been playable( not alright but functional). Thank you for another banger!
I’m so relieved and hyped by the video title alone! Absolutely loved the first game and was nervous about this one, but your opinion alone is more than enough! Thank you for covering this game!
capcom did the dirty hiding mtxs from reviewers and streamers. they even pulled the old "wait a few weeks then release P2W DLC" with remake 2 and 3. you can buy infinite ammo items and rewards reserved for s ranking the game... crapcom is back. dont forget theyve done this in the past and got shit on for it then. on disc dlc and what not. itll happen again.
they didn’t hide this at all, the micro transactions have been known about for a while, they were on the store pages for the games on steam and so on. I’m not a fan of their scummy business tactics like this, but at least all the micro transactions can be gotten in the game for free anyway.
hagte to say it but capcom has also been releasing bangers of games...I love monster hunter world, I love monster hunter rise..RE4 was great!! and so is this game!! ....

that's all you care about. very typical behaviour from simps.
OKAY FINE I'M GONNA TRY DRAGON'S DOGMA
your enthusiasm has thrown me over the edge and I'm finally ready to give this big scary thing a try.
Thanks, Suzi.
immerse yourself and have a great
time, im really, really loving the game
Love hearing you gush about the games you love. Always such an in-depth look into mechanincs and story.
I’ve been looking forward to this review. Your RE 4 remake review last year was amazing as well, safe to say Capcom nailed it again with this one. Amazing review as always. 🥰
Unfortunately you were right. They are selling Rift Crystals as microtransactions 😢
Just don't buy it , they are not forcing you to
@@injest3r574 I didn't. The first one was too annoying
They're easy to get and find in-game just like all the other DLC stuff. No pressure to pay for anything
@@AlphaOblivion7but my question would be how scarce are they in each world we play?
@@injest3r574This shit shouldn't be in the game.
Saying "you don't have to buy it" is a poor excuse.
I was on the fence on this.. but you have now hooked me
Ditto! Haven't played since the PS3 (never fully tried the Dark Arisen content) and frankly talk of the 2 made me want to give it another try! Lucky for my Switch, they had a sale a few days ago that dropped the game to 4.99 so I bought it, playing it! And I'm loving the game again! I guess starting with the vanilla version and being tired out by the time the Dark Arisen stuff came in and made corrections made me not want to try it again, but now decades older, wiser and a STRONGER system (as in faster loading with my Switch OLED) I'm just retrying and Vocations I dismissed like Mystic Knight and Ranger are growing on me, along with loving all the lines I missed that still repeat in my head ("They're Masterworks all, you can't go wrong!" for example LOL) I'm also wiser to the "cut off points" and have experienced OTHER combinations systems that I can better utilize my items and such and work with the pawns more! Loving every fight I come across. And crossing hands from other reviews of early copies that it gives me an experience similar yet DIFFERENT then Tears of the Kingdom! That Zelda is different then DD which is more Monster Hunter meets Dark Souls (not that MH isn't "DS" in it's own ways, just in atmosphere! I get DD: DA was STEEP in "Hey remember BERSERK" along with the ENTIRE Soulsbourne series of games! But I think that charm is WHY I liked Dragons' Dogma!) but I think the larger "Tears of the Kingdom/Breath of the Wild" LIKE world does good for Dragon's Dogma! (Just hope travel is less ANNOYING then it is in Dragon's Dogma! I swear I love exploring, but moving around normally is GOD awful annoying, even before you feel up the map! Should have had major points in DD1 have portal points and just let us use the Portal Crystal as a limited placeable teleporter! With how Tears of the Kingdom did this! Hope they took THAT into account along with LIMITING the amount of items needed for combinations and such so you're not WEIGHTING yourself down with trash and crap that ends up useless as you wonder "what the fuck this does!" (I do love DISCOVERY, but SOME hand holding can be nice as in "give me a manual or something" if you're not going to spoil!)
But I have confidence in the team that they took lessons from other games AND past mistakes in Dragon's Dogma (that Dark Arisen was meant to remedy but still some flaws were still there even if they were MINOR instead of annoyingly big) to make a damn good experience (Especially what I loved about DD: DA is that EVERY choice is viable, like choosing to go it alone, go with a party of pawns, or just your own pawn and any combination of vocations or the vocations themselves are viable so you never feel you HAVE to reset the game to make a vocation good! You're choices effect if it's good from when you get in it or you have to work abit to make it good cause you made an OOPS early on) Plus hoping they EXPAND on the story established! We know multiverse will be involved with how the story of the first game was even if it's "a different world" per say! (Plus happy elves are here, felt weird making an ELF character in DD1 when no elf exist in that game and no indication other races sans the monsters existed! Now let Dwarves be a race in this and we can justify Dwarf character's! I'll be making my first character in DD2 the new Beastren race)
It's not worth 70 bucks. Anyone paying that much for this low performance and framerate need to get higher standards for themselves and their cash.

@@ThwipThwipBoom capcom are looks at ways to fix performance
I feel so very grateful that you exist, and that you offer your sound on what you love in an extremely enchanting way. Watching this video I feel you are clearly in your ‘Ikigai’ as the Japanese say. I am very excited to play this sequel and intrigued to see more of your videos.
This is the most delightful review I have ever seen! Great job!
I am not a content creator so I am not going to pretend that I know how it feels to be hated by a lot of people on the internet. With that said you still have 11K people liking your video and 1447 disliking it, while that is not the best ratio there are still nearly 8 TIMES more people enjoying and approving your video compered to the people disliking it.. focus on that.
I liked it, but it felt disappointing to me. Not enough monsters to fight, not enough content and while i loved exploring, the rewards themselves weren't all that interesting.
This is kinda random but besides the awesome review as always, I think this is my favorite thumbnail art on your channel so far. I followed the link to check out more of the artist and found out it was Dilara Özden herself, a phenomenal artist and a fellow countrywoman of mine. I really appreciate that you're putting more eyes on her work since it definitely needs more of those with how good it is. And it's always really cool to see you collab with seasoned professionals in the games industry. It's a wild crossover event that I never expect each time. Much love
as usual, peak content from a peak creator. keep them coming Sphere Hunter. I love your vids.
I've waited 12 years for this, and I get a Suzie video on top of it, so blessed 😭
The Parasite Eve OST has got me feeling some kind of way
Same. I need to figure out how to replay it.
@@Amanofan7777emulators
@@Amanofan7777A PS1/2/3 and a copy? 🤷
@@JohnnyBurnes on a modern tv? It'd look awful.
@@Amanofan7777You can use an emulator on a PC and even on a phone I think.
Or if you have an old PSP lying around, you can mod that to play PS1 games. PSXe for PC has resolution settings you can mess with so it looks better on newer TVs.
This looks like a 90's home video and I love it.
Shill hunter doing what he does best
Great review! I am in love with this game (third playthrough). Don't let haters discourage you from continuing to make awesome content.
I can't wait to play this in four years when my video game backlog clears up.
I heard this game is one of those games people are having fun getting to actually explore. I personally can't wait to play this when i finish playing Resident Evil 2 remake. My first time playing and i am on the edge playing it on hard.
Hey Suzi, I just want you to know that most of us truly understand that your review has no correlation to the capcom microtransaction controversy. So please keep being positive and dont feel discourage about expressing your opinion on upcoming video games. I hope all the luck come to you.
I have never visited your channel before, but you just earned a subscriber in the 1st 4 seconds with that quality Pawn voice acting.
Your voice is a thing of beauty
Came across your channel a few years ago its been a fun insightful time and I'm always appreciative/looking forward to when you upload something. The amount of time , effort and passion you put into your videos shows. If you do keep creating awesome, if not no worries. Wish you the best of luck in this life and whatever you do, take care and cheers ❤
I really wish they would of made a coop mode where you can jump into other people's games and play as your pawn. Obv your hero character has to stay on there own world because they're the chosen one but being able to play coop with your friends as your pawn and level them up that was as an alternative would of been really cool!
I just finished the first game yesterday and now i get your video on the series, nice timing
Loved the first Dragon's Dogma! Also you have such a beautiful voice. I could listen to you read the dictionary. ❤
Armor sets are hot AF *snort* 😅 (subscribed)
Thank you for loving this awesome game. I'm having a blast playing it and was happy to come across a video that wasn't filled with negativity surrounding superficial stuff that doesn't even take anything away from an amazingly awesome experience.
This video was great. I started DD1 last week and i've been having fun with it so i can't wait to get my hands on this
Loved your video Miss Suzi. It was very informative and fun to watch. Busy with some other game's right now. But can't wait to start another great fantasy story.
When the Parasite Eve piano theme hit at 9:13 I was so surprised and got so lost in how beautiful it is that I had to rewind because I wasn't paying attention to anything else. 😂😬 Great video overall, love getting your insight on Capcom games!😮
As a DD1 fan I have alot of gripes with this game. It's way too short and way too small. In vernwurth it was fine things were going at a good pace. The moment you get to the second area the game just throws away previous characters and stories and just rushes you to the end. They showed off everything in trailers, the colossus is the second last boss and they showed everything about that boss. They left no secrets to discover. It just feels like the devs just wanted to be done with this project they just didn't want to develop it anymore they just wanted to be done
Brother, I think you missed the entire endgame.
@@FelisImpurrator The unmoored world right?
@@dantemiles689 Well yeah, if you know what that is, how can you say there are no secrets after?
@@FelisImpurrator Because they showed Medusa, the Sphinx, the headless horseman and the colossus (2nd last boss of the game btw) thats not to mention they also showed all enemies, vocations and most skills leaving very little to see that we didn't already see in trailers.
The fact this game has your blessing has me so hyped for it!
You find your spheres yet?
I've owned Dragons Dogma on the 360, the ps4, the switch and the ps5. om so excited for dd2
Great video as always Suzi!
12 years later, it truly feels good to once again hear "wolves hunt in packs, Arisen"
Тоесть deadp47 глядя на неё, даже на секунду не подозревал что это трап ?
I'd forgotten this was due out. So glad you've enjoyed it.
Awesome gloves.
That griffin is terrifying
Ikr. I jumped behind the couch...lmao XD
I dont know what the issue is with some peoples games, but ive seen griffons just straight up quit and dive bomb into the water to die, its astounding to see.
Terrifyingly cute!
Once that mf notices you on the ballista, it's coming for you from across the map.
Another wonderful video. Please, don't take all the negativity to heart. This is the internet after all, so a grain of salt will always serve you well. You did great, and thnak you for another video.
I love the new thumbnail update and background music from DMC1
Keep going suzi 💙🙏🏼
Other than some technical issues...
The game still has some of the same issues as the first game did 12 years ago.
Repetitive dialogue with your pawns, though not as much but still a lot.
No swimming and no mounts.
You can end up getting high affinity with a character that you would otherwise have no romantic interest in, but the game assumes you do, so you might even end up getting a kid like Trysha just because you helped her with the mage quest to get the master skills. Which is pretty messed up.
There is not enough interactions with your pawns, any small talk you can have with them are just pieces of dialogue they usually say anyway while you're roaming around the map.
You can get away with murder pretty easily by just picking people up and tossing them from a high height.
You still can loot items, valuables, and even food and money from peoples homes, and it won't count as theft because the game still has no bounty system.
In the case of Trysha i couldn't complete the mage master quest, she kept telling me she is studying, and the quest log told me to visit her in a few days, but it had been weeks.
Basically the game doesn't tell you that her grandma needs to be alive in order for you to complete the quest, and Trysha herself doesn't react to her being dead.
The list goes on and on. But you get the point it's ridiculous.
For some reasons some things have become worse here.
Other than the now reduced 4 weapon skills only, there is also the missing jump up while clinging to an enemy, which really helped scale them a bit faster, at the cost of more stamina.
The Strider and Assassin class are gone, and they didn't bother for some reason putting in something as basic as a dodge roll mechanic.
The double jump is gone too, and the closest thing to it is the Concussive Leap, but that is weapon skill so just to jump higher will cost you a weapon skill slot.
In the first game sometimes you could sit in a camp and chat with your pawn and tell them to be more reticent, and/or more offensive or defensive etc.
Because even though the now personality choices affects some of that, they all still don't know when to shut the f*** up.
Anyone who has played this game for more than 50 hours will tell you.
This is a fun game, great in many ways, but outdated in so many other ways. It should not be acceptable for a game to have so many problems that the first one had, and even make some things worse. This game is far from "Amazing". It's great, it's fun, graphically looks impressive. But Skyrim even without mods has better attention to detail than this.
Example:
A kid loses his parents? He is gonna become an orphan and the dialogue changes in Skyrim, he gets sent to an orphanage. In Dragons Dogma 2? No dialogue changes, nothing.
And there are many examples like this throughout the game. It really takes you out of the experience and constantly reminds you that this is just a game.
The game is still worth getting. But i'd say wait when it's 50% off.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you using PE1 music for your videos. Tingles.
Please dont stop making videos due to the Backlash. I truly enjoy you Reviews and impressions. Thank you and be well.
Ah, the only review that actually matters. Great to see you are loving it! Now Im hyped to play it.
it's so freaking expensive, though. About $110 CAD for the STANDARD version. Looking forward to picking it up a year or so from now!
isn't that $70 usd, like every other new release?
@@SushiRoll137 $70 usd is $94 cad. After tax the game is $110. I'm not sure that I would accept any arguments that that is a reasonable price.
DD1 is already free for those with PS+ Extra. DD2 will likely be added to it as well in a few years.
It 65 € lol
It’s always funny when Canadians and Australians try to make it seems like they’re paying an extra 40 USD.. like, no. Euros and CAD are not the same bro.
i enjoyed some of the phoned in acting in the first game. Where you could hear them sighing unironically in their speech. I loved it.
I've already spent several hours making my main and various pawns (like bully maguire, larry david) no idea who I'm going to pick on Friday.
loved the insight into this and more excited for it now than ever.
British accent Sphere Hunter intro? A surprise to be sure but a pleasant one!
Suzi doing a review of Dragon's Dogma 2. Sweet.
I'm LVL 55, I designed my Pawn to look like Timothee Chalemet and I just met the Sphinx. This is by far and away my GOTY. Great review!
The parasite eve soundtrack makes everything better!
This may not be a big deal for some, but my biggest issue with this game is that it does not have an option to sell items to any vendor from your storage, you or your pawns must be carrying them in your inventory. I'm not sure but I think this applies to the upgrade materials as well if you want to Enhance your weapons/armor.
This feature was in original DD and made inventory management very fun.
Yeah, it makes no sense having us lug back and forth between the inn and the vendor to sell all our stuff because we also have virtually no inventory space. A lot of mechanics in DD2 feel like 2 steps back in design when most of DD:DA was already perfect.
I'm looking respectfully.
Looks good. Thanks for the coverage!
That grey haired pawn kinda looks like you.
She has an official pawn but I can't find it
Your input greatly influences mine. I already was into DD2 before, and even with the PC issues, it has been playable( not alright but functional). Thank you for another banger!
Your voice is satisfying the way a cat purring in my ear is. 🐈
I’m so relieved and hyped by the video title alone! Absolutely loved the first game and was nervous about this one, but your opinion alone is more than enough! Thank you for covering this game!
You really have a nice voice. I think you should do voice acting, if you already aren't.
new to your channel loved the video! im loving dragons dogma, also your hero looks cool.
Kainé’s sword in the background has me absolutely frothing at the mouth wondering why I don’t have one
really amazing review and the intro slash segments with you in your custom and equipment looks amazing🤩🤩
Found out about channel from intro to a HEALTH song. Love the narration and voice so far. Instantly subscribed.
capcom did the dirty hiding mtxs from reviewers and streamers. they even pulled the old "wait a few weeks then release P2W DLC" with remake 2 and 3. you can buy infinite ammo items and rewards reserved for s ranking the game... crapcom is back. dont forget theyve done this in the past and got shit on for it then. on disc dlc and what not. itll happen again.
they didn’t hide this at all, the micro transactions have been known about for a while, they were on the store pages for the games on steam and so on. I’m not a fan of their scummy business tactics like this, but at least all the micro transactions can be gotten in the game for free anyway.
hagte to say it but capcom has also been releasing bangers of games...I love monster hunter world, I love monster hunter rise..RE4 was great!! and so is this game!! ....
It’s a good day when Suzi posts 🫡
Another great video Suzi, can't wait to play this game. I hope you survived that vicious Griffin attack! I just want to also say I enjoy your reviews on games, your always honest & full of transparency. Please don't stop making them
I have such high hopes for this game
Please dont suck please dont suck
I enjoy Sphere Hunters opionon on any games that is disscused on the channel the facts and opinions give me a clear idea if I do want to buy and play an upcoming game but the thing I appreciate the most from any video that Sphere Hunter makes is the comedy, the ending to this video proves why Sphere Hunter is an amazing artist and content creator thank you for another amazing fun video
