I gotta disagree with calling DD2 (base game) “complete dogshit” that’s just bad take. Its biggest issue is that we’ve played it before, it’s largely the same game as the first. DD really isn’t a series where the story is that important tho, the gameplay is and in that DD2 excels. The Dark Arisen content works so well in comparison to the base game due to being more aimed at end game and challenge content. I’m doing the Trails of Lost Rites (about to do the last one in the Unmoored world) before I start NG+ and the DLC. It is quite frankly the best content in the entire series I’ve played up to this point. I mean just look at this boss roster I’m about to face in 1 run. Corrupted Dragon >Corrupted Ogre x2 >Corrupted Garm x3 >Corrupted Griffin >Corrupted Lesser Dragon and Corrupted Wight >Corrupted Dullahan >Corrupted Minotaur x2 >Corrupted Chimera and Corrupted Worms >Corrupted Evil Eye >Corrupted Sphinx and Medusa 🥹 it’s fucking beautiful. |
Well, in the context of gameplay alone It wasn't dog shit, it seen me through to the end but...agh, that NG+ stuff which I haven't tried would just make it worse. Dragons that take an hour to take down and you have to do two dozen of them while relying on the AI team. Everything that should make the game good and have the whole appeal makes it ass. I never went for the unmoured world nor this DLC but if I had to take another hour to get to a dragon that takes an hour to get a small bit of the reward I need only to be molested on the road by so many enemies and random monsters (all which should be cool and the idea of the game) I'd have an aneurism.
We have different tastes in games and that's cool. We both love 100%ing games but my God this one ain't worth it, it's painful even if DA makes it better I can't imagine how it would be less painful.
