No worries, that seems to be a major red flag tough

The moment I saw that this is being punished by Nexon, I lost all my initial interest. They’re not exactly known for supporting their games in consumer friendly ways

Man, I’m not even willing to discuss Blizzard anymore.

It’s literally always “Blizzard doing Blizzard things”

Big oof. Sucks for all the developers and creative teams.

I’m just glad they’re working on it. For the many flaws the game has, I think it could be turned into a good game with enough fixes, 60fps and maybe some additions in the loot front.

This patch seems like a good step into that “fixes” direction, tough a bunch more should follow. And if they care about a user base, it should happen sooner rather than later

I don’t know. Graphically Ubisoft always delivers. It does look gorgeous.

But man, the gameplay, the ui even the story (at least what was presented in the trailer) all feel so uninspired.

I guess I wasn’t really that interested in the franchise itself, but the game does not look as outstanding, as the first movie did, back when it came out.

Well, in that case… Maybe you’d like:

• Outward (literally getting thrown into a survival-exploration-RPGs), didn’t play much, but liked what I saw. Seems to be very deep in it’s systems.

• Elex (plus Sequel, I didn’t play): Techno-Fantasy-mix by the guys who made Gothic 1-3 (also good contenders, but a bit old), so expect some good eurojank. This one’s a bit more story heavy, though.

If I can think of more, I’m try to post here again 👍

Man, that’s a tough find, tbh. Luckily they announced a sequel recently, so there’s that. :)

In the meantime, I’d recommend the following:

• Newer Monster Hunters (World or Rise): Gameplay wise the closest one I’ve come across so far.

• Elden Ring: I mean… Kind of? Similar Fantasy world, character building, even somewhat similar plot (in my opinion). Obviously it’s more FromSoft than DD, but I think it’s worth a comparison.

• Dragon Age Inquisition: Now, I get that this one’s kind of far fetched, but I mean it. Especially the freedom of character building (except locking into a class at character creation), traveling with npc companions (tough with more personality) and the general fantasy-world vibe

• Shadow of the colossus: If you’re mainly into climbing huge monsters and defeating them (primarily) that way, this is one game I would greatly recommend! Tough, this gameplay, a stamina system and the vague fantasy setting are the main comparisons.

Bonus: I read somewhere that with a plethora of mods you can nudge Skyrim more in a DD direction (and who would be surprised about that), but I don’t know any pointers on that one. Google might help, tough.

Hope this list is somewhat helpful :D Maybe you could describe what you liked about DD?
