Dragon's Dogma 2 | Another Hands-On Preview | Mystic Spearhand & Magick Archer 

I just assumed that this game would never exist and yet, here it is.

The fact that this game's world is so dynamic that you can get jumped by a drake and being forced to show him your power or you die is beautiful and badass

Mystic Spearhand looks like it plays like a Dual Lightsaber Jedi

griffins being much more prevalent is fantastic because farming them in the first game could be such a pain. They're also such cool looking enemies so I'm glad they're around more

Dragon's Dogma has masterworks, all. You can't go wrong.

It's like, imagine tes6 was coming out next month, this feels sureal, I never imagined dd2 would ever exist

8:50 Yes, in DDDA you can cheese escort quests with ferrystones and the portable portcrystals.

That cape the character is wearing in the mystic spearhand demo save is fantastic looking. Great cape physics

Your video got shared in my DD group and I gotta say, seeing this uncut gameplay really feels surreal.

Everytime I see that fire missile arrow I just think it's so useful for scouting ahead. It lights the area in the dark and it Flys kinda slow too. Very useful

This was a radical preview.

This game looks visually stunning, cannot wait to get my hands on it.

It's crazy how people still don't know that DD1 also had a quick slot for the lantern. They really hid the mechanic well in that game. Lol

You were correct, an escort character did travel with you when you used a ferrystone.

Excellent video! I've watched tons of DD2 previews and you are one of the very few people who really understand the mystic spearhand mechanics and actually talked about the quest design details!

So hyped that you got this opportunity. Well deserved.

More detailed than other previews I saw. Great job!

Kinda bummed that Mystic Knight is gone (as far as I know) but Spearhand looks like a blast

Dude this was more in depth and informative than the DD2 features from major gaming yt channels. Kudos on this one.

There were pause and hold combos in the first game, I hope that returns cuz it was such a nice detail and was super fun

I am so ready for this game! This will be great!!

Oh HELL yes more Dragon's dogma

mystic spearhand has my curiosity but not nearly as much as the trickster does. the machine gun mode thing is interesting. as is the guided missile for the fire arrow, i'm curious to find out how much range that spell has for starting a fight far outside agro range. one of the funniest things to do in dd1's dlc area was in the second last zone of the dungeon it was a big open space with some cover but you could easily set up long range skill/spells to kill almost everything there before they noticed you. it's actually funny, since that area had 2 gimmicks to try to punish that strategy but it was pretty easy to work around. lmao "utility over damage" he says, we'll see. yep, in dd1 they came with you if you used a ferry stone, a common trick when escorts were notice board quests that told you the destination before you took it was to go to the spot ahead of time to set the port crystal to guarantee the safety of who you were escorting. the frequency of griffins is a welcome addition, i can't be the only one that's still a bit infuriated at their AI in dd1, with them dam near never agroing you or as you show up in its hunting ground it immediately goes from too high to hit with dam near anything, to killing an ox on the other side of the zone, finally flying off and popping out of existance like it changed zones in Monster Hunter... only it moved into a zone outside the game.

Super excited for this game. Glad to see you covering it!

As someone who adored magick archer, I'm really happy to see they gave it more outdoor usability. I felt the class only *really* shined in BBI in Dragon's Dogma 1. I'll miss having daggers a bit, but this is otherwise everything I've wanted. Cannot wait to play.

Looks awesome. Def getting this day 1

magic spearhand is a jedi lol, slows enemies, can levitate them then goes full darth maul.

Thank you for sharing your experience

Forsure going with Mystic Spearhand!

I am so fucking excited for this game

It's the organic feel of both combat and quests that made me love the first game, so I'm glad to know that at least in this demo it seems like they did expand on both. Hope to see more of that in the full release, specially in how different decisions can affect the outcome of quests, including ignoring the task.

O my god I cannot wait. I have never EVER preordered a game, but I made an exception with this one

Man, I kinda wish ot was just a normal spear instead of a dual bladed one. Normal spears don't get enough love, they can be cool as shit.

AAHHH I swear March 22nd can't get here soon enough. It was nice to get a more detailed review of mystic spearhand too

Love the depth in how you presented the game's mechanics! I was wondering if you could say if the leveling of your character and vocation all function the same as the first game? (Stats based on class, Discipline Points, 9 Vocation Ranks, etc.)

Thank you for the heads up on spoilers. I sincerely appreciate it.

This game truly look epic! Can’t wait to see more gameplay! Not a day one but soon after I’m sure.

Well, i cant wait. Just over a week folks!!!

Mystic spearhand looks so fun.

I hope to god they got a demo coming out, PLEASE

Good stuff!

Great review, straight up made me go preorder the Deluxe edition, I was going to buy DD either way, but I usually dont preorder now days :)

0:00 this is what I assume the mythical public demo looks like lol. Also, I've been playing IG currently, if I go for mystic spearhand, I guess I'll still be using a polearm for my next game. Edit: I don't think a demo's coming, LOL.

Double-ended magic spear already sold me

I am so excited to run mystic spearhand, I get tired of using your standard sword for most games because a spear feels mediocre, to see that this game has went so hard for the spear class makes me so excited for this game

Looks sick

so how is walking through out the open world do they have new mechanics or still the same variety everytime you walk through the area

My first playthough will definitely be as a trickster

You’re an official pawn! Hells yeahhhhhh

they gave Mystic Spearhand Vergil's summoned sword teleport skill and just thought i wouldnt notice tsk tsk tsk

do you know by any chance about the art and the secret of metamorphosis, when they appear, what they do, how many times you can use them and essentially if the deluxe edition is worth the price just for being able to re-edit my character?

Seems really cool, I knew nothing about the first game. The combat seems pretty tough and a little intimidating to learn though.

did you get to try out the Trickster at all and if so did you manage any cool wacky combos?

13:40 nice cartwheel 😂

Even tho it wont have a great frame rate on ps5 i have waited over a decade for this so i am getting it and cannot wait to paly as frieren the elf roll on the 22nd!

Nikita missile in metal gear solid. You can’t control the Stinger missile after being fired. Great video.

Yo so cool Capcom invited you! Im jealous lol I love your monster hunter vids and i look forward to watching your dragons dogma stuff too

Hell yeah

Congrats on being an official Pawn, just found out today.

Oh man. We will see how that 1 vs 1 with a sorcerer/mage goes...

New subscriber here. There's been a dry spell if actual new gameplay content. Mystic Spearhand and Mystic Archer arw my top two mist excited unless there's a couple new unknown vocations left.

You think Thief vocation would benefit as Mystic Spearman with regards Stats progression? I wish there is also a Magic Assassin. Feels like Spearman is a Fighter/Magic build.

Interesting that the griffin took that much damage from the ricochet seeker or was that just the pawn dealing damage?

3:25 Spirit Lancer in DDON had the same skill, i remember i set my Spirit Lancer Pawn to use this skill on downed enemies 8:24 That's cute xD 12:05 Wait a sec, in a video of another person (Eurogamer) that Pawn Emma was using the same gear but black, here looks blue...might be the light or...dyes? 12:57 WHAT! For a moment i thought i was watching Kenshi 2 with that "Rattan hat" xD, kunai was in DD1 so maybe...there will be katanas too :]

Thank fucking god they added a way to pass time that isn't resting at the inn

Is there a way to reset level states? One big issue of DDA 1 is that different class gets different states when level up. For example, the leveling states of a warrior are mainly strength and health. If you change your class to a mage, you will lack spell damage. And if you choose a long-range class, you will lack stamina.

and we dont have to wait three years for it to come to PC

The lantern always had a shortcut. Great video though

I loved dragons dogma, i played it to hell and back and then some more, and i left satisified, so satisfied i never craved a sequal, to me it felt like a one of a kind game bound to fade to obscurity as a hidden classic when i was a kid. But here it is, and i am all for it.

yooo another banger

Can you play the mystic spear hand from the out set or do you have to unlock it later in the game. As it doesn’t seem like you can choose it at the character select screen.

Im exited for tue game, but at the same time i feel ill be overwhelmed

So 100% will be getting playable demo March.8th

I'm so excited, waiting for the release date!!! ... ... .. .. .. so I can get my money back.

Do you know if the defense/attack calculations have been overhauled? Like, in DD1, if something had more defense than you had attack, you'd have to swing at it for ages while doing like 1 point of damage per attack. It was a really weird design decision since it made fights basically impossible if you were too underleveled, unless you had godly amounts of patience.

Hey, do you know if there is a photo mode ?

Does anyone know yet how skill points work when respacing? I heard in the old one if you start as a warrior, and you switch to something not needing that skill point, you've kind of wasted those points. Is it the same this time? If I want to be mystic spearhand, what should I start out as?

How's the climbing mechanics in 2? As much as I absolutely loved the original, trying to scale anything big enough to climb was a nightmare, mechanically. Really hoping its easier/smoother to do in 2.

Can you please let me know if they improve the walking speed? In first DD I had to constantly run to get somewhere, otherwise walking is very slow even when light ( my character was normal built) and running was constantly used up all my stamina

Question , is it possible as spearhand to throw your spear against enemies and then teleport to the weapon

If you haven't played the original, it's combat system basically works like a side scrolling beat'em up in 3d, in a partial openworld, and with a character stats system

The NPCs coming up and stopping you to give you a quest definitely seems like something I'm going to get tired of really fast, I hope they make a QOL change that includes an ability to ignore them if I want

Question, can you use skills while you are on top of monsters? Is it any skill or only certain ones?

What kind of performance did you get? Are you allowed to say. I saw that the game director said an unlocked 30fps+ is this correct??????

I dont know if i missed it but there was the fixed stat ups in the first game and needing to level certain vacations to maxamise your damage output for the chosen vacation you wanted to play in the end Is that still the same in this game?

It's a shame we don't have a gameplay demo, so I can test the basic vocations and pick one before the full release.

how is the performance for the game? i'm debating whether to get the game on my PC though I'm not sure it'll be powerful enough to run it properly, so if the performance for ps5 is a lot better then that'll heavily dictate which version i get. of course with the demo release (if there is one) my decision will be set in stone

I'm so torn because I want to watch the video to potentially sate my excitement but I don't want anything spoiled D:

Hey do you feel a certain laggy feeling (maybe because of denuvo)??

Did you play this on ps5? I assume ps5 due to the controller layout on screen and if so, can you tell us if the 30fps uncapped is really that bad on ps5?

any word on vocations? will there be more then the 10 revealed ones?

Is this vocation preorder exclusive or anything? I thought I remembered two classes being like that in an earlier preview of this but I’m thinking I’m wrong about that

How were the pawns? You didn't really say much about them and I'm curious if their AI is better/different from the original and what interesting things you saw them doing.

Heres my thing, how linear is the map? Is it linear and open world? By open i mean vast areas where you can go any direction and not just paths and roads

How is the pawns AI?

This looks so good. it's literally what dragons dogma 1 would have been if it were made today. Capcom continues to show us that they are just about the only AAA studio that can consistently churn out quality sequels and re makes. lets fkn go, I'm so hype for this one. 4 player co op for this game could of been amazing but I'm not complaining, for a long time i never thought this game was going to see the light of day after all.

Need to recreate Serge from Chrono Cross...

Hoping for a Demo!

Whats the magic archer like

Is Mystic Spearhand a starting job or an advanced job?
