@@BoomstickGamingI just was able to order a copy for my series x on bestbuy! It’s been sold out! Comes April 1st I have Xbox and ps5 but in went with series x, never played a game like this but I can’t wait! Great video! Is it real hard which class do you think I should pick!
I went into this game expecting to main warrior once I unlocked it. Turns out I grew so attached to fighter that I straight up can’t play any other vocation yet because I’m still stuck in my obsession
I watched every review of this from all the main channels but none of them made a review and combat showcase as amazing as you did. Your reviews are always the best brother keep it up.
Possibly the most practically helpful pre-launch guide I've watched (and I've watched... probably too many) I'll be running tiny Arisen, Massive Pawn, and definitely trying out your keybinds there, those seem really effective.
I was on the fence but this video convinced me to buy it. GREAT showcase of the classes and combat versatility, awesome job, thank you. I have subscribed to your Chanel
This is finally a videogame journalist job done right ! Really good info, straight to the point and actually showing awesome skill tech ! Mindblown at the thief part !
I've watched like 6 videos trying to see if this game is something I'd like. Your video is hands down the best video for just raw information and gameplay examples. Thanks so much for helping me spend $75 today 😂
@@patricknorris9334 bugs aren't as bad, and not the major issue the performance is the real bummer, but, and i cannot stress this enough, that's only in the bigger, busier cities/towns.
Amazing video dude, probably the best DD2 video to showcases the starting classes and what they could do. I was thinking of starting as a Fighter but you sold me on the Thief with it's skills and traversal movement. Also I didn't know that you could push the big enemies down when they're stunned/unstable so I'm grateful to learn from this video since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.
I was banging my head against the wall trying to get a good control setup with r1 light R2 heavy and grab/sheath on the face buttons, but kept getting conflicts. Your mapping is as good as it gets man, thanks a ton!
finally someone who doesn't hop on the hate train for every game. you have earned my sub friend. Yes performance can be improved...but that doesn't mean the game is bad.
Goodness! The video I needed. At last someone speaks about/tests and compares character stats derived from size and weight. Thank you eternally for this! I think I will not regret having made a tall character. But wait... did you not sprint in that movement comparison? People told me size only affects walking speed, not sprinting. And weight no longer affects maximum stamina?
Because of this game i have come across your channel. This video is amazing, you give all the information anyone could want to know whilst giving tips. That controller scheme is definitely one im gunna use. Subscibed 👍🏻
Wow thx! Just what I was looking for before breaking down and saying, yea, I’m buying this now! 😆 Also just awesome tips, info and video setup! Keep being yourself!
Ngl Dragons Dogma 2 is such a great game. I always struggle to continue playing a game because I lost motivation and I only have like a handful games I played completely through. This will be probably one of them. I really enjoy exploring in this game, the combat system, the animations. It's awesome. Totally worth the money and I hope they add some classes. I would buy them even as DLC content.
Alawys a joy to watch you explain all the small (and big) details of a new game. Well done video again! :) My favourite vocation at the moment is Thief, I try to get comfortable with the Mystic Blade but its somehow lackin damage against big creatures with my playstyle.... (cannot figure out how to us the Master Skill properly)
Would love a follow-up to control a few variables for move speed: 1. Leg(torso) length could effect move speed 2. Encumbrance could effect move speed 3. Character Weight could effect move speed 4. Character height could effect move speed All of these things may contribute to the large difference in move speed, or it could only be leg(torso) length Really appreciate the info. Its hard to find videos that dont just repeat the same stuff weve known for months
This video randomly popped up in my feed! It was very informative. I tried your controller setup and I really like it. You've just earned yourself a subscriber. Now I'm going to check out what else you've got. 👍
I played the game for only a few hours so far and OMG. This is exactly what I’ve been craving for 12 years. The first game was my favorite adventure experience ever. And this game is already delivering. I haven’t been this excited about a game in a loooong time.
For those who never played Dragon's Dogma: This is Dungeons & Dragons with real time combat. You'll spend roughly 15% of gameplay time micromanaging your group's loadout and inventory. In other words, Baldurs Gate 3 but with real time combat.
i like how NOBODY is answering his question. im considering a medium build, to look nice since im staring at the dude. but im researching and i dont see much downside to just making a giant character and pawn so you can carry more to sell, craft, etc
To be fair youtubers don't really care whenever they ask you to comment, it's sort of a scheme to generate comments, likes, shares and being the video to more users. Not hating or anything but that's typically along the lines of what that is. Video also is just mainly summarizing things already told to you in the game. Did mention a few useful tips but overall title was pretty clickbaity considering whats in it. Decent editing and good script though.
DD2 is basically like an Anime Guild😂. Go out on Adventures with your Party and complete quest. You got your front line tanks/dmg and back line archer and mage🧙♂️. I'm hyped Asf for midnight 🔥
After the original Dragon's Dogma, I really thought the grab onto monsters mechanic would catch on, and we'd see it in a lot more games, but it just never happened, and I have no idea why.

Tall. Always tall

This is the most educational and practically useful spoiler-free video on Dragon's Dogma 2 by a country mile.
I wasn't thinking about it before, but you just made me want to start with the thief. thank you
the thief looked so badass, shame i already have a fighter planned out

Boomstick still putting out some of the most info dense meaningful review content.
This is all something other reviewers somehow missed, so thank you for your video!
lol I found a note by a bridge that said "Stop breaking the bridge, it takes a long time to fix" or something of the sort, by some angry workers.
I've seen that same sort of gag in other games. Gotta love japanese humor sometimes.
I rarely comment on TH-cam videos, but this is one of the best gameplay explanation videos I've ever seen. Excellent job!
I almost never comment on youtube but wow this was a great video, never seen your channel before but i subscribed right of the bat.

My game of the year. My up there with the games of the decade.
Such a great video. 8:10 Made me realize how much time you put in to make this video
Yo Alex. You are the fkn GOAT for that control scheme change. Im getting murked while trying to learn it, but its superior in every way to the default
Goodness! The video I needed. At last someone speaks about/tests and compares character stats derived from size and weight. Thank you eternally for this! I think I will not regret having made a tall character. But wait... did you not sprint in that movement comparison? People told me size only affects walking speed, not sprinting. And weight no longer affects maximum stamina?
I was sprinting in both. I can guarantee height changes stamina, I'm not sure if the characters actual weight contributes
@@BoomstickGaming I say that because when you compared both characters with their stat sheet open, the maximum stamina remained the same.
@@BoomstickGaming I remember rumors about weight affecting how effective your grappling and bringing down flying monsters is.
Finally, quality and useful content guide!!
You explained everything so clearly AND gave gameplay tips. Goated TH-camr ❤

What a great video. Straight to the point and full of good stuff. Love the control tweaks too!
you've got me questioning what I want to play now, it all looks so cool!
This was supposed to be a tips and tricks video and for me it was the best commercial I've seen for the game!
Your alternative control scheme recommendation has worked perfectly for me! Thank you 🙏
It is indeed my GOTY lol
I really enjoy the control scheme you made. It's much better than the default scheme.
The controller setting is a game changer. Thanks bro!!!
First video I've aeen that actually SHOWS what the different vocations can DO. Great video!
Your tips are hands down, always the best. Those control tweaks are so good.
Your such a go to guy when it comes to information that isnt obvious or is outside the box thanks alex as usual fantastic work
Can't remember last time I drove 150km/h just to get home and continue to play. Great game

Amazing review, made me change my mind in regards to starting class.
Awesome review! Im loving the game too
if you press the help command from a fatal height they will catch you
Great video very informative! Just what i was looking for.
