The switch made me love this game. Laying in the bed while playing dragon’s dogma is priceless, I played the original when it came out and i kinda got frustrated by it. Now it’s easily a 9 for me.
One of the best things you can do to enjoy the game is to try out the many vocations it has and play around with the skills you can acquire for every vocation. The first time I played it, everytime I'd encounter a Chimera or the Dragon I would run for my life and at least 1 pawn would die, then I got Mystic Knight's vocation, the ice skills and obliterated these enemies and I couldn't believe it.
That first boss in the Bitterblack Isle expansion is not meant to be killed right away. On one playthrough, it keeps the damage you do to it across all encounters. You're supposed to run past him and continue on, though the rest of the isle is difficult unless you've the proper equipment.
Congrats on reaching 600 subs! I've been a Berserk fan for a few years now and I haven't ever heard of this game until now. I'll definitely have to check it out. I find it surprising to see how advanced the game mechanics are considering it was made in 2013. Great video btw! I really enjoy these longer ones.
Just discovered this gem of a game earlier this year and I’m so thrilled whenever I see it getting love (because I want a sequel so bad)! Every time I watch someone talking about what an incredible game it is, my day just improves, so thank you! Your review is fantastic and here’s to (hopefully) Dragon’s Dogma 2!
_Dragon's Dogma_ is my favourite game for the Seventh Console Generation(360), it got me through a rough period in 2012. I'm saddened that the rock theme song was dropped over time, _cuz it spoiled the game,_ or that the 360 servers closed while I was away, but this was a game I loved despite rarely beating it. The experience of being in the world of Gransys, seeing how nature interact, or the NPCs working; the world has a lot of *Points of Interest* without explaining most of it, so you can theory, "what is this for? was this cut-content? what's the relation between this armour and this road name?" I was recommended this game by a French TH-camr *Benzaie* for the Berserk homages, and without spoiling much, I came across a few goblin hostage scenes that reminded me of an *Eclipse Ceremony* A good video you made, I'm happy to see a _new_ TH-camr talk with such eagerness. One word on the *Dark Arisen* DLC, it's too much. The game is fine, post-Dragon, the road to the capital is a great level curve; but Bitterblack Isle is too hard, even at max level, you can't casually play through the map, you always have to be on high alert
"... not only about the stats, but i also want to make my Arisen and Pawn looks COOL" You already gained my respect, hahaha /o/ And enough with that ugly Daimon helmet.
Found myself here because I'm about to start my first dragons dogma dark arisen adventure given I've heard pretty positive things about it and I'd like to play the original before the sequel drops which I'd also like to play. Good to see you're still making content, looking forward to going through some of the back log and more recent videos.
Welp, guess i gotta buy this game since i’m still obssesed with Berserk. I even got into the souls series just because of berserk lol. Also, congrats on 600 subs!
I'm really hoping that the sequel will feature more areas similar to Bitterblack Isle, which was basically Capcom going "This isn't Dark Souls, but it kinda is, so...prepare to die". Go into it under-leveled and you're going to die a LOT. Hell, I'm a level 200 player and if I stop paying attention and the momentum gets away from me, that's it. Bitterblack Isle is all about managing how much you're carrying in case you need to haul ass (you WILL), your character build/Vocation, and the team you've got. Four sorcerers with no one to draw aggro? You're done when Garm swarm. All Warriors with no ranged attacks and no magic? Living Armor and wraiths are now literally invincible. I want to see those SAME stakes in the harder areas and some versatility with the Vocations. And yeah, I totally want an arm cannon as a Warrior to complete my Guts cosplay.
Great review, I love this game its so underrated and deserves more attention. I too had my ass handed to me the first time venturing into the bitter black Isles but it was by warg wolves and Grim goblins. Hope we get DD2 soon
I got this game on the ps3 and enjoyed it thoroughly but never finished it, but got it on the 360 this year and only 3-4hours in and still enjoying it after so many years
Lovely review for one of my top 3 favorite games of all time. The highs that I've experienced in this game are almost unparalleled compared to any other game. Also I'm all for the Berserk love, if anything you should have praised it longer.
I started this game 2 weeks ago....I beat it twice and put in a little over a 100 hours into it. Yeah. Its awesome lol didn't realize it was available on so many platforms. I heard rumors a sequel has been in the works for a while so here is hoping. Good review.
I finally got back into this game and I am so glad it clicked this time. I don't know what it was, but I tried to get into it with the original release and I think the lack of early game fast travel really started to eat into my enjoyment of it. I love the Berserk anime, and I have been trying to read the manga. I can definitely see the similarities. Love your review!
I really enjoyed your video. I finished a game yesterday and I'm trying to decide if I should start DD tonight. You really helped and im 90% convinced to do it.
The pawn system was so unique and such a cool feature ahead of its time, I only wish with a sequel will add actual full on player to player co-op but keep the pawn system in there as well
Extremely well done review! An underrated hidden gem, top 3 favorite games of all time for me. I hope a sequel gets announced later this year for next year!
Great review! Watching this video makes me realize how much I loved playing this game(back then, and I played ONLY this game, LOL), and more importantly, how much I missed it.
For the escort missions, I gathered a certain amount of Portcrystals and placed one in each of the escorts’ known destinations. So whenever I picked up escort missions, I can just use my Eternal Ferrystone (due to having the Dark Arisen version of the game) and just teleport to the escort destination, for an instant finish. It was both kinda amusing and convenient. And I too got really attached to my main Pawn.
The Escort locations are great places to put the Portcrystals, for sure. I think even Dragon's Dogma itself hints that to you, when you pick the one at Dragonforged's lair and the other inside the Shadowfort, for example XD And the addition of Eternal Ferrystone was a bless in the ports, because on PS3/Xbox 360 that item never existed (at least in the Dark Arisen version). Only normal Ferrystones XP And Phoenix, keep going! You're doing great, fellow arisen =Dv
My steam library is full of RPG games. DOS2,dragon age games, Dark souls, tales series games, skyrim etc etc. But dragon dogma is and will always be in my top rpg games of all time. I come back to it for time to time, and if DD2 comes out Im sure as hell will come back to it one more time just so I can get ready for it.
There are a lot of layers to this game. Hard mode changes many things, new game+ is apart of how you play. Failing certain quests like escorting the rich little girl in town will decide if you get access to the highest weapons at the shop.(Gold Idol reward) BitterBlack is a whole game with-in a game! This is seriously one top tier RPG.
I've been playing dragons dogma dark arisen for quite a while now and here's a handy tip if you're keep running low on stamina and you're scrag of beasts turn sour or rotten use a hunk of ore or a foirign knife (I'm sorry if my spelling is off) and you'll get backfat oil or grease I can't remember which and that'll completely restore your stamina, it's very handy in a pinch if you need a stamina boost oh I almost forgot it also works with rotten beast steaks as well
Welp, the sequel just got announced, so congrats. To celebrate it, I've decided to finally do a pure magic playthrough. It is quite fun and a fresh experience doing that when all my multiple playthrough ended up as melee-oriented classes by the end of the game.
Thank you TH-cam recommended, also legends have been told that Algorithms are good for the TH-cam comments... I might have mixed something up there. Well, here is my contribution to this getting put in more recommended tabs :D Looking forward to binging you channel the comming week
Amazing review, I just finished this gem and I'm in love with it, I think the gameplay is the best thing of the game, since dark souls I wasn't enjoying a game as much as this
@@YanouUTG just thinking of a modern day dragons dogma with better graphics and what they could do to improve the customization and pawn system gets me so hype
One main thing, the pawns learn from your behaviour and adjust their personality accordingly. If you keep spamming "Come!", your pawn will not leave your side during combat, if you keep telling them to go ahead, your pawn will just charge in like a buffed up bimbo.
Abuse the springs with empty vials. Only healing item I give to pawns. Built my pawn to stun/interrupt enemies as a strider. Would also set enemies ablaze often with the strider flash powder move.
I love this game, I had a lot of fun with the customization and the combat was great, I liked climbing on monsters, my main complaint is I didn't like the post game, I was enjoying the game so much I planned on doing the post game content, but it was just too dark if you know what I mean
about bitterblack isle, you're not supposed to beat death at the start of it, just run through and reach the door downstairs for the next part so that it despawns, though there's no guarantee the other stuff albeit weaker than death wouldn't be too strong for you
I used to play Monster Hunter on the PS2. Shadow of the Colossus came out and it was great. I spent lots of years only playing on a PSP, cause i didnt owned a television, eventually i got married and bought a TV and a PS3, so Dragons Dogma was on my list, got it, played it, finished it and when i got almost 400 hours, decided to buy Dark Arisen too. I just dont know how many hours i played it. People bored me to play Dark Souls, so i did, platinued it in two weeks and went back to Dragons Dogma.
I love the travel system in DDDA. The eternal ferry stone is kinda cheating, but imo it fixes the fast travel. You can fast travel at any point but you still need to build up a portcrystal network properly.
Agree. I personally like the idea of earning fast travel and that is where the portcrystal system comes to play, you need to find those crystals and with the limited quantity you need to carefully choose your spots for them. I think this is the best fast travel system i have seen in RPG's.
The Developers weren't given much time and had to to rush the game to complete it and get it out to consumers, unfortunately this mean that a lot of concepts that would have been in the game had to be cut such as the day and night cycle and iirc there was plans for the moon to be a location you could go to in the late game. If DD2 gets announced then i hope they are given more time and a bigger budget cause those were two of the biggest issues in development.
Well done & quite ebjoyable! I have quite a few more hrs into this game than that & I still enjoy playing/gaming it. Lol! So much so, that I even watch YT videos about it! I'm rather put off by the number of views you have with only 700 or so likes. Anyway, I liked and subed because I did like it! Again, well done, lady!
to be fair that first boss you encountered is literally called death and it lives up to the name carrying a lantern that sets most foes to sleep and a scythe that can literally one-shot kill even maxed out pawns and players only best way to engage him is at range and with his ability to disappear from the fight only to reappear in another location further in bitter black isle he's a frightening enemy that's best avoided entirely if possible on your first playthrough
OOOOH I was wondering what happened to griffths armor sold by the dude in the quarry. I didn't relize that it was removed due to copyright issue, that sucks.
Aha it’s your Pawn i get over and over again 😂 i love That some Are small like a darw and some Are like Kobe or someone 😂 and a Little Girl with Full Bitterblack Gear 3 is dangerous
BBI is amazing. Recommended casuals to finish game and speed thru new game+ at least once to get level 60+. And don't fight death at the beginning there, run right past him and out the door. You cant get him enough damage quickly enough to make him leave and he one shots unless interrupted. It's intentional that you have to avoid him. Just my 2 cents, cheers
Lol you play like me in the beginning I remember raging at the bandits and the tunnel ogres, now after 3000hrs I play blindfold. Don't do the escort missions until you placed your portcrystals in ng+ 😆
Just imagine the next dragons dogma with a world like witcher 3, would be awesome, also death is kinda a final boss that can randomly appear while you play but doesn't reset any damage you do to him so you can get him eventually.
Your video was well composed imho and you’ve explained your opinions well. I agree with much of your assessment although I have more patience for this game’s flaws than you. But that may be because I was just playing Robocop when I saw this was free. Robo was made with the latest graphics engine and modern textures but after 17 years of making games, no one at Teyon knows how to draw or animate life-like characters or has any great technical expertise or artistic flair and this 10 year old game is SO beautiful and expertly made by comparison. So I understand and respect your criticisms but after Robocop, Dragon’s Dogma is dazzling and I’m glad I was playing such a poorly made game for a week when I started because I believe it’s greatly enhanced my appreciation so I find I have all the time in the world for blundering around in its world. Irl though, I think running towards a 60ft dragon and batting and stabbing at it with a rusty sword should only be proof that your character requires careful professional help if not institutionalisation😁
Many reviewers have complained about the story without actually understanding it. I have made this comment on tons of videos and here we go again: The main questline of Dragons Dogma is not the story. It is really a side dish to the actual story. You said yourself that the character you felt closest to was your main pawn. Do you think that is accidental? As the arisen you do the standard hero's journey. What you realize by games end is you also mentored the next possible great hero in the process and became the main villain yourself. It is a cyclical story dependent on new game plus and revolving completely around the relationship of arisen and main pawn. That is the story of Dragons Dogma; the relationship between two characters you create and shape. In so doing you as the player have an ownership of the story of Dragons Dogma that other games cannot provide. The restricted fast travel, difficulty curve and oppressive night cycle are all design choices to make the game more arduous and in so doing buffer and sweeten the story. The story is your main pawn and arisen. All of the difficult, frustrating or oppressive things you go through are on purpose to bolster that relationship and thus drive the ending home. It is actually a masterclass in story telling because it is done with such a lite touch but profound to the player on an individual level. The story I experienced in Dragons Dogma is not the same story you experienced. I don't intimately know your characters as you don't intimately know mine. That's the point. The cult, the failed arisens and all of the NPCs are sidequests. The main quest is unique to each player. This has largely been missed by just about everyone who talks about this game. This story is so unique and ingenious it grinds my gears when people get it wrong.
Was my fav game back on xbox 360 for so long couldnt resist when they released for ps4 a game that 10 years later still shines so much and outshines many modern games still today amd the best part was the game didnt persay hold your hand lol
The only frustrating thing is this game is that the location of some quest are so annoying that I just used a guide every time that I need to do a quest.
Im in my 6th or 7th run in a row, played sorcerer twice, went through all hybrid classes and doing a ranger run into another magick archer in ng + (ranger stats growth arent as hood as sorcerer for magick attack but they're balanced, and i want Immolation this time which scales on attack)
I remember playing this game on Xbox 360 back in 2012 but i never finished the game But I'm glad this video was recommended to me because I went to the Microsoft store after watching the video it was on sale for 9 Bucks and The deal ends tomorrow
I really like this game. Sure, many things could use some polish, especially when it comes to the game showing things to the player (both in terms of mechanics, gameplay, and of lore). it could have used a more populated maps and more monsters but, aside from that, I think it's a masterpiece. I think It's an unpolished diamond compared to a lot of polished turds that are many AAA games nowadays. There are so many different playstyles, even one vocation can be played in different ways. I really like how this game encourages you and rewards you from exploring and experimenting. The lore is actually (in my opinion at least) really interesting, it's just poorly presented. I really like the pawn system, how they learn from the world around them and can actually do a decent job once they have learned. It's also nice to feel connected to other players through this system, although coop would be really nice. Honestly, if we get a sequel that is the same game, with updated graphics, more monsters, more customization (like with sliders instead of presets), Coop, a more populated map and more convenient ways of travelling fast like maybe a mount, more vocations, more weapon types (I want some polearms), that would be gold! They could maybe tweak damage calculation a bit so that it's a tad less level restrictive and more skill oriented but, overall, the core gameplay is really REALLY solid in my opinion.
Like yourself, I never finish this awesome game but keep playing it on and off through the last 9 years. I’m afraid if I finish it, I’ll never play it again.
No, but I did continue to play it. I beat a boss called Gazer but then I got distracted by other things haha. From what I played so far, I thought it was good. But if the difficulty is a deal breaker to you then I think it would be too frustrating to play through.
@@Nekotomic i see, bought the game on sale today morning, currently playing it, it is as fun as i remember it, even if i do not do bbi, it is still a worthy purchase again, besides difficulty the enemy has too much hp or the bosses certainly do but high leveled pawns should help out
![Prey: How an ending no one picked contextualizes eldritch horror [Fixed Audio]](/img/n.gif)
Imagine the Game has only 40% of what they had in mind and it's still a Joy to play
One of the best games of all time in my opinion so that really speaks volumes
It took me 5 or 6 attempts to get into this game and now It's literally my favorite.
The switch made me love this game. Laying in the bed while playing dragon’s dogma is priceless, I played the original when it came out and i kinda got frustrated by it. Now it’s easily a 9 for me.
Is it literally? As opposed to what? Figuratively? Sheesh you kids and that word.

One of the best things you can do to enjoy the game is to try out the many vocations it has and play around with the skills you can acquire for every vocation. The first time I played it, everytime I'd encounter a Chimera or the Dragon I would run for my life and at least 1 pawn would die, then I got Mystic Knight's vocation, the ice skills and obliterated these enemies and I couldn't believe it.

Hey I really like your content ☺️
Keep up the good work!
I like to make the 'uncut gem' comparison with Dragons Dogma. It's unpolished, but such a unique experience.
It's a game where the developers put their heart into it, it oozes grim dark fantasy a la beserk.
Main pawns are supposed to closely resemble a loved one whose passed. Savan, in the intro of the game, his pawn Salde, resembles his father
It can go either way.
Abuse the springs with empty vials. Only healing item I give to pawns.
Built my pawn to stun/interrupt enemies as a strider. Would also set enemies ablaze often with the strider flash powder move.

about bitterblack isle, you're not supposed to beat death at the start of it, just run through and reach the door downstairs for the next part so that it despawns, though there's no guarantee the other stuff albeit weaker than death wouldn't be too strong for you
You should do an elden ring review. If they mixed certain aspects of both, it would literally be the perfect game.
I used to play Monster Hunter on the PS2.
Shadow of the Colossus came out and it was great.
I spent lots of years only playing on a PSP, cause i didnt owned a television, eventually i got married and bought a TV and a PS3, so Dragons Dogma was on my list, got it, played it, finished it and when i got almost 400 hours, decided to buy Dark Arisen too.
I just dont know how many hours i played it.
People bored me to play Dark Souls, so i did, platinued it in two weeks and went back to Dragons Dogma.
I love the travel system in DDDA. The eternal ferry stone is kinda cheating, but imo it fixes the fast travel. You can fast travel at any point but you still need to build up a portcrystal network properly.
Agree. I personally like the idea of earning fast travel and that is where the portcrystal system comes to play, you need to find those crystals and with the limited quantity you need to carefully choose your spots for them. I think this is the best fast travel system i have seen in RPG's.
I just love this game, we really need a #2!🥰
Really like your video, very well explained, after that I think I will buy it 😊
The Developers weren't given much time and had to to rush the game to complete it and get it out to consumers, unfortunately this mean that a lot of concepts that would have been in the game had to be cut such as the day and night cycle and iirc there was plans for the moon to be a location you could go to in the late game. If DD2 gets announced then i hope they are given more time and a bigger budget cause those were two of the biggest issues in development.
Well done & quite ebjoyable! I have quite a few more hrs into this game than that & I still enjoy playing/gaming it. Lol! So much so, that I even watch YT videos about it! I'm rather put off by the number of views you have with only 700 or so likes. Anyway, I liked and subed because I did like it! Again, well done, lady!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
All you had to say was Berserk. I'm in
Awesome channel! This is a great find
Thanks, I hope you enjoy my content :)
to be fair that first boss you encountered is literally called death and it lives up to the name carrying a lantern that sets most foes to sleep and a scythe that can literally one-shot kill even maxed out pawns and players only best way to engage him is at range and with his ability to disappear from the fight only to reappear in another location further in bitter black isle he's a frightening enemy that's best avoided entirely if possible on your first playthrough
Nice review! One of my fav games!
"Only game where I can scale mythological monsters" Kratos enters the chat
OOOOH I was wondering what happened to griffths armor sold by the dude in the quarry. I didn't relize that it was removed due to copyright issue, that sucks.
We need DD2 ASAP
I love this game! Whenever I feel down I play it to be an overpowered mini arisen with giant sidekick! The combat is also very addicting for me :)
Aha it’s your Pawn i get over and over again 😂 i love That some Are small like a darw and some Are like Kobe or someone 😂 and a Little Girl with Full Bitterblack Gear 3 is dangerous

Nice informational review
BBI is amazing. Recommended casuals to finish game and speed thru new game+ at least once to get level 60+. And don't fight death at the beginning there, run right past him and out the door. You cant get him enough damage quickly enough to make him leave and he one shots unless interrupted. It's intentional that you have to avoid him. Just my 2 cents, cheers
Lol you play like me in the beginning I remember raging at the bandits and the tunnel ogres, now after 3000hrs I play blindfold. Don't do the escort missions until you placed your portcrystals in ng+ 😆
Just imagine the next dragons dogma with a world like witcher 3, would be awesome, also death is kinda a final boss that can randomly appear while you play but doesn't reset any damage you do to him so you can get him eventually.
Mystic Knight Aesthetics>>>>> whatever it's in the game 10/10 would lose my heart again.
Your video was well composed imho and you’ve explained your opinions well.
I agree with much of your assessment although I have more patience for this game’s flaws than you.
But that may be because I was just playing Robocop when I saw this was free.
Robo was made with the latest graphics engine and modern textures but after 17 years of making games, no one at Teyon knows how to draw or animate life-like characters or has any great technical expertise or artistic flair and this 10 year old game is SO beautiful and expertly made by comparison.
So I understand and respect your criticisms but after Robocop, Dragon’s Dogma is dazzling and I’m glad I was playing such a poorly made game for a week when I started because I believe it’s greatly enhanced my appreciation so I find I have all the time in the world for blundering around in its world.
Irl though, I think running towards a 60ft dragon and batting and stabbing at it with a rusty sword should only be proof that your character requires careful professional help if not institutionalisation😁
Many reviewers have complained about the story without actually understanding it. I have made this comment on tons of videos and here we go again: The main questline of Dragons Dogma is not the story. It is really a side dish to the actual story. You said yourself that the character you felt closest to was your main pawn. Do you think that is accidental? As the arisen you do the standard hero's journey. What you realize by games end is you also mentored the next possible great hero in the process and became the main villain yourself. It is a cyclical story dependent on new game plus and revolving completely around the relationship of arisen and main pawn. That is the story of Dragons Dogma; the relationship between two characters you create and shape. In so doing you as the player have an ownership of the story of Dragons Dogma that other games cannot provide.
The restricted fast travel, difficulty curve and oppressive night cycle are all design choices to make the game more arduous and in so doing buffer and sweeten the story. The story is your main pawn and arisen. All of the difficult, frustrating or oppressive things you go through are on purpose to bolster that relationship and thus drive the ending home. It is actually a masterclass in story telling because it is done with such a lite touch but profound to the player on an individual level. The story I experienced in Dragons Dogma is not the same story you experienced. I don't intimately know your characters as you don't intimately know mine. That's the point. The cult, the failed arisens and all of the NPCs are sidequests. The main quest is unique to each player. This has largely been missed by just about everyone who talks about this game. This story is so unique and ingenious it grinds my gears when people get it wrong.
Was my fav game back on xbox 360 for so long couldnt resist when they released for ps4 a game that 10 years later still shines so much and outshines many modern games still today amd the best part was the game didnt persay hold your hand lol
It's a wonderful game and I got few days ago and even comprehending the game system is bit complicated, I'm still trying
Good review
I wonder what would happen if you had the guts armor then converted your character save to dark arisen.
You deserve way more subs
The only frustrating thing is this game is that the location of some quest are so annoying that I just used a guide every time that I need to do a quest.
thanks the the video, you have a new sub! :))
Rumors about DD2? Boy ive got news for you.. lol
Jokes aside, any plans on making videos on DD2?
Eventually, yeah! It's a long game so it'll take a while even when I start playing it
Nice Review
Im in my 6th or 7th run in a row, played sorcerer twice, went through all hybrid classes and doing a ranger run into another magick archer in ng + (ranger stats growth arent as hood as sorcerer for magick attack but they're balanced, and i want Immolation this time which scales on attack)

Thank you so much ☺️
I remember playing this game on Xbox 360 back in 2012 but i never finished the game But I'm glad this video was recommended to me because I went to the Microsoft store after watching the video it was on sale for 9 Bucks and The deal ends tomorrow
9 bucks is a steal for this game!
*Goes to BBI before fighting the hydra at camp*
Na your level is fine.
I really like this game. Sure, many things could use some polish, especially when it comes to the game showing things to the player (both in terms of mechanics, gameplay, and of lore). it could have used a more populated maps and more monsters but, aside from that, I think it's a masterpiece. I think It's an unpolished diamond compared to a lot of polished turds that are many AAA games nowadays.
There are so many different playstyles, even one vocation can be played in different ways. I really like how this game encourages you and rewards you from exploring and experimenting. The lore is actually (in my opinion at least) really interesting, it's just poorly presented.
I really like the pawn system, how they learn from the world around them and can actually do a decent job once they have learned. It's also nice to feel connected to other players through this system, although coop would be really nice.
Honestly, if we get a sequel that is the same game, with updated graphics, more monsters, more customization (like with sliders instead of presets), Coop, a more populated map and more convenient ways of travelling fast like maybe a mount, more vocations, more weapon types (I want some polearms), that would be gold! They could maybe tweak damage calculation a bit so that it's a tad less level restrictive and more skill oriented but, overall, the core gameplay is really REALLY solid in my opinion.
Like yourself, I never finish this awesome game but keep playing it on and off through the last 9 years. I’m afraid if I finish it, I’ll never play it again.
here's a bit of info for you Dragon's dogma 2 has been green lighted and is in development
Finally! It's been so long
over a decade
how you finished bbi? i too have finished the game but haven't done bbi due to difficulty, want to know if it is worth it
No, but I did continue to play it. I beat a boss called Gazer but then I got distracted by other things haha. From what I played so far, I thought it was good. But if the difficulty is a deal breaker to you then I think it would be too frustrating to play through.
@@Nekotomic i see, bought the game on sale today morning, currently playing it, it is as fun as i remember it, even if i do not do bbi, it is still a worthy purchase again, besides difficulty the enemy has too much hp or the bosses certainly do but high leveled pawns should help out
criminally underrated game, the action is much better than skyrim and dark souls.
I... have subscribed
Thank you :)
This game sounds/seems so familiar but i can't really say i've played it.
Have you played the Souls games? The takes INSANE influence from Berserk
I played a little bit of the first game but I gave up after a while. I plan on playing through the series again in the future though!
Yea you're not supposed to fight death in the first room. Just run past him. Even at higher levels he is still a challenge
I made a thor and Gandalf
Also about 30 other characters
