Andrei-Balan Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Nothing looks too difficult just time consuming like the first one. I was so hyped about the game but most likely I'll pass on it for now since the performance on ps5 just isn't worth 70$. I can't look over the 30 fps unlocked with around 20 in towns & max 40 in the best case scenario. Really hoping to get at least a locked 30 mode soon.

Whytewolf416 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It looks easier than DD1DA. No speedrun mode or difficulty trophies and everything appears to be achievable with a moderate bit of planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadaik Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Beating Gigantus "in a short span of time" might be hard depending what "a short span of time" is. A few look like missables, such as acquiring lessons from all maisters. But yeah, looks much easier than the first game, though that wasn't hard to begin with.

Rorro_Lux Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) I agree on it looking easier than Dark arisen. This is one of the few rare games I would platinum no matter how hard the trophy list looked. Dragons dogma 1 was my first platinum (on an old account) and also became my favourite game of all time Edited March 21 by Rorro_Lux 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just over. You also can't load an earlier save because there is no such thing. This game has one save for the whole game, that is overwritten constantly. Your only option than is to start NG+ and try again. Edited March 21 by Couga83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStark700 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Based on what I've read around yesterday, it should be a 70hish platinum, maybe less with a guide. Looking forward to this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostGameBlues Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 As someone who tried to pick up DD1 again on my PS3, I still don't know if I'll get this game. The amount of tediousness that I experienced in DD1 (like stamina exhaustion out of combat while exploring) made playing through it quite a slog. I don't mind the lack of reliable fast travel, but damn let me at least explore freely. With saying that though, what kept me playing DD1 (at least before Persona 3 Reload/FF7 Rebirth came out) is the combat and vocation system which I did find very fun. I've also read Powerpyx's early wiki on this game and it looks like the one save slot auto save is going to cause me nightmares, even with PS+ cloud backup. Maybe I'll wait at least till they fix the performance issues before getting this game. From what I've seen PS5 performance is a rocky 20-30 fps. Considering I was getting maybe 15-20 fps for DD1 on my PS3, it seems par for the course lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This made accidentally locking oneself out of trophies a common occurence even early on in the game. DD2 likely does that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurkitty Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Waiting on Powerpyx to post up the guide, I know there will be missables but I hope it isn't terrible. The first game looked nightmarish, although I never played it so don't know just HOW bad it was experience wise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellish-Abyss Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 From what I can tell the list has many unmissable story related trophies and many simple "try this" trophies. Since it is a game which values exploration, my first playthrough will be totally blind, although I kinda already know what to expect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creasy007 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 This game looks like a blast but a title with several missables and not ONE manual save option? That's a huge turn-off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDragon Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Gonna get this in a couple months most likely. Looks awesome, but too much other stuff to do right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrainsOfWrath Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I get the no manual save and only 1 auto save thing from one perspective but I don't trust that at all. I lost 7 hours of progress in Code Vein last month to that exact set up. That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen when it crashes and you haven't closed the app to backup in a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it always overwrites the sole save slot of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Killbomb Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 (edited) Gonna do a blind playthrough and then follow a guide in NG+ for anything I missed. Played DD1 on PC while following a guide from the start and that took some of the fun out since I was constantly checking the guide so I wouldn't miss anything.

Gage Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Would note re the saving there are technically two saves slots, one it holds as a hard save when you rest at an inn and one that is the rolling autosave that occurs otherwise. This means if you are planning around inn resting you can keep a save in-game to revert to whenever you need, and can always backup your whole save to PS+. We won't have a full trophy guide up on Powerpyx for probably another week, review codes were real late considering the size and type of game, and most of the trophies are for finding specific stuff. Nothing seems as bad as the side quest trophy from the first game though, where you can completely ruin the playthrough and are required to do all of it again. Closest thing is Sphinx riddles because you have one attempt at each per playthrough, but that doesn't have any actual prerequisites to do them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenaxPure Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 1 hour ago, PhantomFear94 said: PowerPyx more or less confirms this. Sounds similar to the first game based on that. You could blow through NG+ in DD1 in a matter of hours, constantly restarting was not really a big deal (I was on my like 7th or 8th NG+ run when I stopped playing my original save file.) I'd bet their 10 hour estimate can be done way shorter too once you're comfortable with the game. I am just gonna do a totally blind playthrough for fun and then work on trophies with NG+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorro_Lux Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Dragons Dogma revolves around NG+. so the missables dont really seem missable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Marty84 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Quests can be time sensitive. Quests will continue even if you are not actively playing them. (Not sure if you need to accept it first) And I don't think npcs stay dead. I did one quest where I need to escort an npc. I threw him of the bridge a few times and he keeps respawning. And if I throw a hired pawn of the same bridge he's a goner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I throw a hired pawn of the same bridge he's a goner I believe they're much less time-sensitive than the game seems to imply. The ones that show the hourglass on them in the menu imply that the thing happening is occurring right this second, but there's also been at least one I ran into where it always showed that but was able to come back and do the quest much later, so I think any like that you have to actively engage with the main part of the quest for it to be time sensitive and therefore failable in that way. You'd have to get halfway through and then actively run away for that to matter. If the pawn fell in water that would be why, because hired pawns falling in deep water is just an instant disappear, realized after the second time that happened and I was wondering why I suddenly was down a party member. 😁 Arisen, Main Pawn, and NPCs can fall in the water and just get respawned on land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalHmd Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 iffy performance + a trophy list with too many missables means I'll go with Steam for this one I'm not a completionist, so I'm fine with not getting the platinum in every game I play, but I enjoy some trophy hunting post game. too many missables doesn't sound like fun and would probably require a guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
