Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
My solution for PC users for now is to use GeForce NOW unless you have a beastly PC, it works good on my Steam Deck. Controls are super wonky but the game is fun, also we don't have to pay for a new game anymore which was dumb to begin with.
If I'm honest the combat isn't as "brutal" as DD1, hits don't feel as crunchy, a lot of the hit-stun has been removed which is one of the things that made DD1's combat feel so good. There's definitely a lot more "flash" this time around.
The lack of a significant endgame mode after we got the Everfall with the Ur-Dragon and BBI is very disappointing. Now keep in mind this is just hearsay but I doubt someone would lie about the game not having endgame content (unless you're counting unmooring which isn't as exciting as the former.)
Also I'm hearing the story isn't as good as DD1, which is crazy because DD1 doesn't have a great story to begin with. It's not horrible, it's just okay, strong beginning and end, mid-game sucks. But DD2 has worse then that.
Here's what I'm hoping is gonna go down: Legacy Class DLC (Classes from DD1 return, hopefully the price isn't too high, maybe even classes from DDO), a DLC with actual endgame content that was addictive similar to BBI, obviously not the exact same but even if it was I wouldnt mind, I ****ing love BBI. Also... We need a world boss. People are actually quitting DD2 cause there's no more challenges or objectives. Obviously performance patches are needed.
Also where's my eternal ferrystone? Idgaf if Itsuno hates fast travel, it's important to have fast travel in a game with a large map.
Microtransactions are a horrible look, but DD1 on PS3 and Xbox 360 had microtransactions before Dark Arisen came out. DD2's RC can also be gotten incredibly easily.
All-in-all, for what could have been potentially GOTY material? Not a good look Capcom. I mean the game sold DD1's entire PS3 and 360 lifetime sales in just 10 days, imagine how well it would have sold had everything been up to par. Very sad.
