hereforemnant posted... I gotta vent for a moment, don't want to make this too long though.
Honestly, I think it's better to just play DD:DA moreso than DD2 at this point in time. For a sequel to the first, it's so far behind what it should be after the series being dead for a decade. Enemies are shoehorned in everywhere(encounters almost feel diluted & not natural), lots of enemy variety missing No cockatrice or hydra is so bizarre, they're having to add basic features back in. The performance is bad on all systems on an engine several years old. The vocations are worse, the MTX are shit but that horse has been beat enough.
IDK how they messed this up so much, I should not have been as excited for this as I was after waiting so long since the 360 days. I don't feel like this game will be worth coming back to until we get the expansion later this year, & by some miracle it pulls a Dark Arisen to fix everything. UGH
despite having fun, I fully agree. there was so much that they wanted to do with the first game but couldn't due to time and technical constraints (massive enemies IE shadow of the colossus was one I was hoping they'd include in this). they had no such constraints with this game afaik, yet they didn't even bother to push the envelope and played it safe
