At least you aren't dealing with PS3 load times as well...

Haha awesome.



I can watch all sorts of depraved shit online, including any porn I want, by just clicking "sure I'm old enough or whatever"... And all social media keeps getting revealed as knowingly being cheese pizza hotbeds... but that video is age restricted and requiring me to log into a YouTube account. Fuck this gay Earth. We should have listened to Prof T.

I'm not even sure why its age restricted. Nothing stood out to me as being over the top. Violence against monsters or something I guess? Maybe they algorithm'd Ian and thought he'd drop a few cocksuckers.

There were a few more skills I guess, medusa too although not actual footage of it, not super interesting but makes for a decent "trailer".

When do reviews drop for this?
They haven't said, hopefully they don't have a review embargo up till release, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised as they've been very cagey about what's in the game past the "demo" they've let people play so far, they haven't revealed a lot of the endgame monsters, a large bit of the locations(presumably), they told the previewers not to display menus(although some did so that one's a bit unclear) and so on. It feels they want to avoid people knowing much about the game going in, but not having reviews is also generally a pretty bad sign(once in a while though some games with no reviews turn out good too).

Edit: Google apparently has a date but not sure what the source for it is.

"When Does the Dragon's Dogma 2 Review Embargo Drop? The Dragon's Dogma 2 review embargo will drop on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, at 4 am PT/7 am ET/11 am GMT/10 pm AEDT. This is 4 days before the game's full release on Friday, March 22, 2024.22 hours ago"

At least it sounds like a logical enough date for a review embargo lift if there's to be one.

Yeah I saw the post about it and check the vod quickly, sadly it's one of these "I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't read anything" guys, so most of it is spent trying to murder NPCs in the first encampment and getting fucked up by every enemy encounter on the way to the first town while showing very little gameplay. There's some bits you can take out of that stream for info but not that much. At least it wasn't a "I've never played a video game in my life" player but yeah.

His VoD from the earlier stream seems to have been removed.

He said in his first stream that he got banned like 10times when he was streaming FF7 rebirth a few weeks ago, he'd just remake an account and stream for a bit then get banned and so on. Will probably pop up a few more times I'd assume but yeah that's usually how it goes.

FYI for anyone trying to (re)play the original and encountering software issues. I would just get a black screen and hung process with no info untl running in Win 7 compatibility mode and installing DX9.

Man I am trying to find the joy in the original and struggling. There is definitely a charm here but it's so fuckin janky. Sometimes I feel like I am having fun and others I find it completely tedious.

Might end up lumping this in with the Monster Hunter camp where I say it's good for someone but not for me.

Yep there's jank, but if you embrace it, it's really fun. I could never get into Monster Hunter but after the third or so main quest in Dragon's Dogma (when the world really opens up), I was hooked.

I tried to play Monster Hunter a couple years ago, but instantly refunded it when I realized you can't rebind keys. I've played on the right side of the keyboard (directional keys) my entire life and I couldn't play a game using WASD if you had a gun to my head.
