I'll give you this one.
DD is a good game that could have been great but it is simply unfinished and needs more work. Period. With /v/ filled with fucking contrarian hipsters like it is I can guarantee you that if DD had been any kind of commercial success it would be decried for the unfinished repetitive mess that it is.

Skill-based combat system as opposed to stat-based one.
Also interesting not-generic world and enemies as opposed to something that I was seeing in vidya for 20 years now.
And last but not least not ugly fucking characters.
Here's another example of what I consider to be open world action RPG. It's exactly like DD and Skyrim.
>>14200897
All of that is false.
>responsive, varied, polished combat
You can just grind levels and mash attack button and win just like in skyrim.
You can win enemy that heavily overlevels you even if you're good with its shitty combat system, but it will take 1+ hours that you could spend grinding and then one shot this very enemy with no trouble.
Exactly as skyrim.
>actually varied enemies
All of them being generic fantasy monsters that fall into 3 categories - animal, humanoid and huge monster. There is no real variety.
Exactly as skyrim.
>different classes that play differently from each other
You just mash or hold attack button, I wouldn't call it different.
Exactly like skyrim.
>anything like Skyrim aside from being an open-world rpg
It's not even open world, just a bunch of closed maps connected via way points with most of dungeons being locked if you don't progress the story.

What are you talking about? I remember using plenty of skills in DD. :^)
Well, what are you looking for when you mean skill-based gameplay, then? What do you mean?
I'm not gonna say DD is hard when all you're facing is damage-sponge enemies, but it seems you played mostly fighter / warrior and fought mostly cyclops and wolves. BBI and Everfall is where the fun begins for me, but it still is unfortunately pretty easy. Saying it is bad combat is demeaning to it, tho.
>interesting not-generic world
I think DD did this pretty well, honestly. Their whole world and setting may be as generic as it comes, it's still charming. Generic doesn't necessarily bad, just not-creative. It's still well done.
>there is no real variety
Different animals that act differently as opposed to just running into you and doing their generic attack? Different humanoids that attack using several different abilities that you yourself possess? Different huge monsters, each with their own unique attack pattern and AI varying with HP, party status and their own status?
>you just mash or hold attack button
Several different classes with very, very different play styles and skills, each one having several unique abilities that play very differently? Did you even play anything other than fighter?
>It's not even open world
Granted. It's not entirely open world in that not ALL of it is open at the beginning of the game, and choosing where you go after finishing the first quest matters for fuck all regarding this, at least I'll concede it's a "do the main quest until bored then explore a little, I guess"-world.

But you cannot have infinite potions. The weight system prevent you to take too many objects and curatives are actually relatively heavy. Even worse if you wear heavy armor. Grinding doesn't really matter, specially at high levels, because gear is more important. And in BBI even if you have the best gear you are still going to get your shit pushed if you are not careful. The only thing a can concede is the need to have to pause the game to heal, which I think is a flaw too.
Is this whole thread just bait? Feels like the anons criticizing the game have no fucking idea of the game beyond "lol japanese skyrim" meme bullshit.

Dragons Dogma is a game thats very similar to older styled rpgs. The pace is slow, the music and atmosphere is incredibly relaxing and it's only later when everything really starts to pick up. Personally, I think the main people who shit on it were just the ones who lack the patience to play it through. Essentially the COD audience grew up and discovered rpgs, and are now angry when older styled rpgs don't throw progression and treats at you every second.

It is not even that, the problem I have is that the complains miss the mark completelly.
Game has varied classes, with combat having many options that are fun. Mystic Knight plays absolutely different than Assassin, and both have different way they can be played depending on the skills you choose. Combat is built around exploiting enemies weak points, and the best pawns have their bestiary full. There are a myriad of objects to use which are useful and have visible effects, from poison to explosives and scrolls. I can understand not liking the combat because it is a strange mix of MH with DMC or the 6 skill limit with some of them being a bit redundant (I wish all enchantment spells were putted in a single one that let me choose elements for example), but saying it all boils down to smashing buttons is plain wrong, at least at high levels. Hell, regular attacks do fuck all damage depending on your class at endgame.
Monster variety is actually one of the strong points of the game, the real issues is that the number of monster is very low. Each monster has their own weakness and strength, and many fight in very different manner. Even the ones that are reskin of others have some crucial mechanic that makes then different. The problem is that the number of monster is ridiculous small.
Hell, I like the game, but there are many things that are wrong with it and I can understand people not liking it. The plot is quite lacking, the world is small and kind of dull, the "waifu system" is a total mess which can ruin a very tense and serious moment of the game, classes have very significant unbalances (fucking 3 skills Warriors), static spawn points for monster and more, without mentioning more subjective things as not linking the combat system which depends on your taste.
What puzzle me is that people complaint at what is actually the good things the game has instead of bad things.

I was enjoying a Co-Op playthrough of Divinity 2 until I was talking to two NPCs and they asked me to take this child on a boat.
One of my Co-Op partners accidentally attacked the NPCs and triggered combat, when I asked if we were going to roll with it or reload a save, as we'd saved right before talking to them, I was told we were gonna roll with it for xp for killing them.
I decided my character was talking peacefully with them, therefore he wouldn't have any part in the fight and I began to leave combat, when the host of the game took control of my character off me and began to use my character in the fight, so I quit the game and I've not played it since.

Combat gets incredibly satisfying after Gran Soren and definitely into the Everfall. getting shield tossed on top of a Hydras head 20 feet in the air and hacking it off is incredibly satisfying. Seriously Hydras are my favourite enemy in the game.
Only problems late game I had is the titular enemy, Dragons, are one of the worst designed enemies in the game. Especially the weak spots on the Ur-Dragons wings next to the shoulders, which my character kept clipping through when I tried to climb on them, but my arrows can't hit from the ground. And that the Wyvern and Griffin in the Northern part of the map Post-Game have bugged behavior which makes it nearly impossible to kill them before they start going up and down into the ocean nearby for some god forsaken reason.

You can tell if something hits if the health bar jiggles. Other than that, I don't think he takes damage from "dead hearts" or general parts of the body if that's what you were shooting at.
