TIME IS RUNNING FREE

assume i can go for two, DD and what else?

What are you talking about, the combat is the one good aspect of this game.

*ahem*
FUCK the thief mission

seriously how the fuck do you catch him as a ranger?
I keep knocking him down with arrows and run up to him but r2 misses every time

does this game pick up pace cause it feels really slow

just shoot with arrows and make sure your in front of him so you can grab him

When does DD get good? Just did the hydra head escort quest meme.

literally right after the escort mission

early game it's hard to get a pace going if you've never played before. It should pick up a lot within a couple of hours

He won't die if you hit him, so just blindside the fucker with an attack.

>JUST LIKE THE DANGAN

My pick would be Katana Zero to go along with Dragon's Dogma.

I'd say Katana Zero, but if you're willing to pay the extra and have never played it before, Shovel Knight is great.

You talking about the kid who runs around Cassardis at night? I literally just run in front of him and grab him. Hell last play through I caught him trying to open a door so I dashed up and grabbed him.

I loved everything about DD except the classes. Many of them were boring (warrior), and the best way to play is almost always boring. MK spams cannons, melee should just climb on shit, etc

i really want to try katana zero, but i really haven't heard positive shit about it
i have literally never touched shovel knight. maybe two minutes of looking at the teaser screen

First time playing this game and am getting burnt out because i think im doing everything wrong

>can i make weapons or just by from that merchant in the main city and upgrade them?
>is there any efficient fast travel besides picking up that teleport totem and tqking it with you as you explore the map?
>am i fucking up if ive changed my class 3 times by level 30?

1- Start game, pick mage, speedrun until escort mission
2- Start escort mission, kick ox a few times to make him move faster, heal him with spell, kick again, repeat until mission is over
3- Congratulations, you just completed the boring part of the game
4- Once you hit lvl 10 (you should be there by this time), go to inn, retrieve monocle, change classes from mage to whatever you want
5- Sell monocle, get mad $$$, buy equipment for your new vocation and your pawn
6- Enjoy the rest of the game, change your and your pawn's class whenever you want to see which one(s) you like, there is no penalty

Also i just finished up killing the griffin in that bell tower

Im level 30 - and had to run past the groups of bandits on my way to the tower because they are too stronk. Am i underleveled or undergeared?

Also my pawn is a sorcerer and does way more damage than me (magic archer) does that seem right?

>i really want to try katana zero, but i really haven't heard positive shit about it

I just bought this game but I got my heart ripped out by a dragon instantly. What did I do wrong?

Anybody who says the vocations are boring either looked up a guide on optimal play or doesn't like the combat. Aside from Mage all the others have more than enough skills and augments to mix and match and fit your style of play. Why use magic cannons when you can sky dash into fuckers, or riposte for lots of damage? This is a game where you can light yourself on fire and hurl yourself an anything you come across. Be adventurous.

Please tell me that's a joke.

tried to protect

1- you get weapons by buying them, finding them on chests, every weapon can be upgraded for the first time using just money, later you need materials. Killing a dragonkin with at least 1 upgrade on weapon/gear has a change of dragonforging (super upgrading) your equipment (you can farm this)
The best equipment is gotten by deafeating the "last" boss, playing the postgame location and bosses, and the DLC area (bitterblack isle)

only way to fastravel is to use portycrystals and eternal (or not) ferrystone. You find multiple portycrystals in the game and can place them anywhere you want. On ng+ you can buy as many as you like, only 8(?) can be placed in the world at a time, putting them in key locations you can speedrun the game in like 3 hours

change vocations as often as you like, you CANNOT fuck up your stats.
Its actually better to switch because gaining profficiency as a vocation unlocks passive abilities (+ATK, +MAGIC, +HP, +STAMINA, etc) that you can use on other classes

This guy posted good tips but I suggest one change. 1 - Start game, pick Strider (rogue), speedrun until escort.
2 - Grab a mage pawn who heals. Use the kicks to make the ox hurry and get yourself hit a little and stand so that the ox benefits too.
3 - Stay Strider until level 10, which you should be getting to around reaching the main city. Strider gets the most stamina per level and the first 10 level are the most stats per level you get for leveling up. It's a tiny thing but it can be very helpful to have that extra stamina.
4 - Enjoy.

Appreciate the reply

those bandits are notoriously annoying
i dont know what the fuck is up with them
I always run past them

Sorcerers are very powerful, hitting critical spots on enemies is probably the reason hes making so much damage

Weapons are bought, found in chests, or occasionally boss drops.
You'll eventually be able to set up to 10 portable crystals to warp to. I think you can get 5 in your first playthrough, so set 4 in important places, and carry one with you.
And no, changing classes is fine.

dangan is just japanese for bullet/missile/gunshot

Dire gouge breaks this game. Prove me wrong.

Glad to hear its a common thing - i cant believe how tough those fuckers were and thought that the quest was too out of my depth

The bandits near the witchwood? If so there are some very high level bandits there. It's worth mentioning that they retreat from the roads at night.

looks great 10/10

>Am i underleveled or undergeared?
Both! Anything beyond Cassardis all the way through to the path that takes you to Gran Soren gets powerful fast. There's a quest to go to Witch Wood very early on that fucks up most new players if they come across it because you'll only be level 7-8 while the bandits there are well above that. Starting a fresh game on hard mode is even worse because 90% of the game can one shot you at the very start, but the trade off is you level up a lot faster and enemies drop 10k constantly, even the beginning goblins, so you can upkeep your weapons and armors a lot easier.

>Also my pawn is a sorcerer and does way more damage than me (magic archer) does that seem right?
To me it does. Since my pawn doesn't fluctuate between vocations as often it gets better stats than I would. Augments increase this even further. See pic related to know what stats boost upon leveling up. If your pawn has been a sorcerer for a while then they'll definitely have a higher magic stat than you.

Ignore aughtists
The difference stats make is miniscule
Those bandits in the narrow path to bluemoon tower ALWAYS fuck EVERYONE up

'tis weak to fire

>change vocations as often as you like, you CANNOT fuck up your stats.

You really don't want to spend 50 levels as a sorcerer and then change to warrior, or anything along those lines. You don't have to care about min/maxing like an autist but you can, in fact, make your stats a lot less effective than they otherwise would be by changing from one vocation to one of a couple others for extended periods of time. The way the damage scaling works can mean 300 attack/magic points can make an enemy that would otherwise be frustrating not so much.

>The difference stats make is miniscule
No, its really not

Is it possible to marry someone? I just got the 20 wakestones in the everfall but I want to marry Madeleine if possible.

If you’re there, then you missed your chance because whoever the dragon kidnapped is who you’re married to. Do it next playthrough.

Not the one you're replying to, but I'd say that's false because I distinctly remember getting Aelinore as my beloved since I wanted to see if she had unique dialogue, but later on when my Arisen woke up on the beach that fucking Jewess Madeleine showed up instead. This was Dark Arisen mind you also.

Oh well it was Madeline, so I'm fine. Another question though, is it possible to be a faggot?

I hate how it's basically just a still image. A song like that deserves a Monster Hunter-tier opening cinematic.

The game's romance system doesn't give a fuck. Other than a handful of specific story npcs like the Duke, you can hook up with almost anyone. Be it a man, a woman, and elderly person, or a child.

He runs on a set route, observe and wait ahead of him. Then, sprint into him to stagger him and grab him.

They can be turned off indefinitely in the options menu.

Because literally all the good shit happens after you leave the capital for the first time and you can start encountering random griffons as you travel the roads.

Keep playing because it gets better X hours in is a poor argument for any game, but in regards to Dragon's Dogma that's just the unavoidable truth. The game doesn't truly bear its fangs until after you reach Gran Soren and you're allowed to go wherever you want and do whatever you please and it takes hours to get to the point if it's your first time playing.

>Keep playing because it gets better X hours in is a poor argument for any game, but in regards to Dragon's Dogma that's just the unavoidable truth.
Whatever, Kiwami 2 will be released in 2 days and I only got this game to play so let's give it yet another try.

Hey guys, I want to get this but have been putting it off. Should I get this game? What does it do well? Why is it fun? Should I get it on PC or the switch?

I just completed three of the four tasks you get when you're first invited to the wyrm hunt and I'm level 45 with three maxed vocations. Playing Hard Mode was a good idea.

God I love this vocation

Warrior is stunted but there is fun to be had with it.
Pros
Strong as fuck
Feels satisfying to smash people down
Gives you an augment to greatly increase your strength which can be used on any other vocation

Cons
Short range
Very limited options
Only three skills at a time while every other vocation gets six

Warrior is very basic, but there can be finesse added to it funnily enough as you start mowing things down before your pawns can get a chance to act.

Make sure you look into DD before you hop into it.
It's a must buy for sure, but if you arent clear on some things you'll feel like you got fucked like many other babies on this site.
This is an open world game with next to no story, limited fast travel, no quest markers of any kind, and one town.
The tradeoff is god tier gameplay, god tier character growth system, god tier monsters, god tier rng loot system, and an ELDER GOD TIER postgame.
If yourone of the faggots that can't go without the first part then just stay away -- I don't want you to be a part of it.

I'm not sure what else you want

If there's ever a sequel I want more voice variety, and I want people to actually use it

>Have Ps4
>Have switch

I understand the switch version is newer, but I dont go to portable often. That being said, is the pawn rental system for the Ps4 still active or is it ded? Like if I go buy it now, and set up my pawn, am I looking at him getting rented frequently or is advertising the only way to have him rented.

>A fucking Netflix show for some reason
At least the diversity won't feel as forced as in Castlevania this time.

It's never going to happen.
Itsuno said he'd love to do DD2 but he never ever said it was going to be made acter DMC5.
We only know he had the choice for either to happen and knowing Capcom they're kicking Itsuno to the curb soon.

I kinda want this on the switch but i looked up the wiki and it seems like there's 20 enemies total not in the dlc dungeon?

Is that it? Seems kinda...empty?

That actually sounds really good. Can you go more indepth about the god tier gameplay, loot, and postgame?

>the enemy variety meme after BOTW came out

I was just replaying it a few months ago and it was still up and active. My pawn would get rented out like four or five times over a couple of days. I just wish more people tried to make good characters and not loli waifus in silk lingerie. You know how hard it is to find male casters just to even out your party a little bit so it doesn't look like some harem isekai?

One thing I like about the Switch is the ability to suspend play. You can press a button to stop playing and put the Switch down, and then pick it up later and be playing in seconds exactly where you left off. It's great for a game like Dragon's Dogma. My Pawn has only been used about four times since launch, though.

I mean does it matter to the game much?

Do they gain different attacks? Are there variants?

>Hey I really want to make one of these two things
>Oh the one we chose to make was really successful
>Too bad we can't just make the other thing I wanted to make because fuckin I don't know

It really is quite similar to BotW in many ways.

>He says this then gets sniped by 3 orc mages and then drop kicked by an ogre

Enemy variety is the biggest joke complaint and I've been seeing this mentioned on a lot of games recently, not just DD. The variety is fine, the fun is the combat itself. It's like some people can only fight one type of enemy once before becoming instantly bored. Video games are repetitive by nature, especially Japanese ones.

You must be completely new to the franchise if you think Capcom is consistent with their choices on what to fund. Take a look at their history instead of meme texting what you already said, pleb.

Yeah while I appreciate the games ability to let you do those things, I am not about it. I like the idea of making like a Mentor/Mentee relationship or two brothers or best friends.

Unfortunately, its very hard to make a guy like that stick out from the other Pawns, especially the bimbo ones.

There are base game varients, post game super tier varients, and Bitter Black varients. You're going to get your ass handed to you if you go into it thinking it's like BOTW at all, just saying.

That's okay, the overworld is small even by last gen's standards. While the game lacks in enemy variety it makes up for it with how you interact with them in combat. Things like ogres getting sick if the eat males instead of females, being able to freeze a drake's mouth so it can't breath flames, and so one is what makes Dragon's Dogma stand out despite its flaws.

Their stronger cousins show up in post game along with more boss monsters to tango with and stronger reskins.

How do i kill the grim reaper

If you need to ask you'll never do it, pleb.
