games

if you could refund id upgrade more

I'm glad respecing is cheap btw

its cheap because

its probablance balanced around removing all your early skill points

and moving them deeper in the tree

I was noticing that

which is fine, idk how to make skill trees not shit

other than how Diablo did it sorta

like grim dawns appaK

where every time you level up, you're strongly incentivised to rotate skills

i like grim dawns because its spend a point to "upgrade" your class, unlocking the ability to buy new abilites buying new abilites upgrading your previous abilities and everything scales perfectly so if you want to dump all your points into one ability, its viable and you can do the entire game with one really stronga ability, or spread them out and be equally as strong + multiclassing another skill tree

its a nice system.

yeah that can work too

i think 60% of the battle ofa skill tree

is having stuff to purchase

i hate the shitty non-upgrade skills in skill trees

give me passives that mean something or new actives

nothing else

I do not care for a fucking 10% hp increase

I'm fine if they give less discrete points, and instead evolve the nodes over time as you level

i unironically rather have like Your Maximum HP scales based on the damage you take during battle, up to 10%! over 10% More Maximum HP

agreed

well, to a point

I don't like the modern dota point, where even passives have a paragraph long descriptor

Obviously not overly conditional till its useless

eya

but stuff like that just feels more fun because it gives you build ideas

even if it ends up effectively the same

overall, decent game(aside from the settings issues) I like playing an early 2000s Bioware RPG again, imo probably the ideal game to release pre-Monster Hunter, because I can beat it in a week and move on

And then lose all my time to that at the end of the month

i think there should of been one singular skill tree

instead of 3

I think the two martial trees are lacking because they didn't have enough enviornmental modifiers in the world

No they're just not creative

no D:OS2 barrels everywhere, or bonus dmg when you charge an enemy off a cliff or into a wall

ranger/stealth is non-existant because they pivoted the game away from being a bethesda game

Richoceting bullets, bleeding attacks. piercing bullets where you line up enemies, arrows being silent compared to bullets, combingin magic with all three having unique combinations and mixed spells

there's a lot you can do they're just lazy/not creative

and all of that would of fit the systems they had

yep, they kept a very vanilla melee combat system

etc.

i was expecting more stuff like that

from the trailers

and the trailers/gameplay was the extent of it basically

magic also doesn't really have a lot of that and it begs the question, is that a design simplification or an engine thing

there's very little to the environment or "combat sandbox"

knockback exists, status effects on enemies and stunning and freezing and ground effects exist

beyond very basic dmg sources

theyre just not really

used

knockback wouldn't really matter, given how enemy tethering works

the dots and status effects are pretty basic too

its very dissapoaintg because ive been waiting a very long time for someone to do a fantasy rpg/skyrim like rpg that feels kinnetic like a dark messiah game

and this is not that

yep

also

the fact this same pc ran dragons dogma 2 at perfect full fps, no hiccups looked perfect

I think Microsoft wanted to streamline it, it's the perfect GamePass game in its current form

and avowed barely runs OK

UE5

makes me wonder

yeah but how is the

avg. normie

oh that

Dragons Dogma 2 got SO MANY

preformance complaints

yeah idk

despite it running fine for me

so wtf is going to happen here

honest answer

no one's going to buy this game

it's a gamepass game

it's priced RETARDEDLY

proabbly

so people will DL it to play for free, it'll barely work, and they'll quit after a couple hours

but it will be a success, because it'll have a high unique play-count

I don't like just blamin UE5 for everything btw

I know that's not the case fully

i mean

its heavily UE5 and nviidas fault
