I'm 14 Hours Into Dragon's Dogma 2 

10 tips for the people watching, both old and new players to the series. Won't really need too many since the game mechanics are almost 90% exactly like the first one. Mostly they upgraded a few things and added some cool mechanics. (Camping gear for example) 1. Camping gear is reusable. There is a very low chance that you lose your gear in a raid UNLESS you are using the weakest one which tells you that it's easy to break. 2. Carry plenty of Lantern oil with you, because losing light halfway through the night is downright killer. 3. Search for the Gold Beetles RELIGIOUSLY... They give you permanent increase to carry weight. 4. The Statues are markers that point you towards a point of interest. Just look at where the head is looking and 9/10 times you will see what it's pointing at. 5. When a pawn tells you that they know about something near the area youre in, press "UP" on your D-pad to respond to them and they will lead you to the item/location. 6. MAX out every vocation you have, Once you unlock the Auguments for a vocation they are unlocked permanently for all of them to use. 7. To unlock the other vocations, you have to do quest or find NPC's that unlock them for you. 8. Maxing out a vocation doesn't mean you have all the skills. There are NPC's that will train your character on skills for each vocation. 9. The symbols on your inventory (Heart, blue hand, hand 1, hand 2, box) tell you how many of an item you have and who is holding it. Those same symbols on your Quest page tell you which pawn can help you with your quest (If any of them have the knowledge). 10. Pay attention to the wording of the quest you receive. Some of them are time based and you will fail them if you take too long. 11. Wolves travel in packs Arisen. IMPORTANT: There isn't a single item in this game that is exclusive to the Online store. you can farm/buy every item pretty easily in the game itself. (I know this because I checked it myself. I have found every single one of them in-game and I'm only lvl 26)

Best part of this gameplay so far is Asmongold roleplaying as himself

The game itself is an incredible, raw, action RPG, regardless of the hate about performance for some people.

when a pawn says she knows a chest nearby, u need to press Dpad up ('go' command) then she will lead u to the chest

"I thought he was the receptionist" --Asmongold

Literally the Performance is the only thing dragging this game for me Game is fun, “difficult” enough that you have to somewhat respect big enemies but not hair scratching difficult that everyone can pick it up and learn to play well

I've been playing on ps5 for 2 days, and i have had no issue. I'm loveing the game. I can buy a rift crystals and have no need because im enjoying the discovery and exploration. I'm living in the world that Hideaki Itsuno wanted, so people can experience his dream.

Glad to see early game Drakes are still annihilating players lol

you know that after the ice spell shatters, you can use ice blocks to pick up and throw to enemies for heavy hp/poise dmg :)

1:51:30 This is the beginning of the legend of EL MONGO, the gallant, masked gay furry aficionado

For anyone that has 20/30 Series cards the DLSS 3.5 FG/AMD FSR Mod works for the game and people have reported a 40-50% increase in performance inside and outside Cities. It doesn’t get rid of the micro stuttering completely, but it does help. These are going to work better for 2070 cards and onwards. If your CPU fails to meet minimum specs you will still have a hard time.

As much as I want the frames to be better I can’t help but have fun with this game. It’s amazing.

1:52:14 So.. Who was the pole, and who was the hole?🤣

3:03:18 OMG Asmon the guy is correct the camping does fill up all your health, AND get this the camping packs ARE NOT consumables you keep them and only NEED ONE.

I'm 20 hours in and having a blast. Never had problems with fps (RTX 3080), first city areas would never drop below 50 for me but it does take away from the experience when its spiking from 120 to 50. Other areas are fine and the second city in the sandy region doesn't seem to have the fps problem. Haven't crashed once but did experience memory leak issues after 7 hours in game where my character sounds disappeared (64gb ddr4 3200mh). Just like monster hunter, the classes feel slow at first but once you unlock a few things and get your favourite move sets sorted, you will flow really nicely, seamlessly connecting and chaining attacks which looks and feels awesome. As for micro transactions, they do suck but at lease they don't shove it in your face and there's already cheat menus to give you those things for free... You can even just save up in game currency if you want to stay fully legit. Honestly, all they need to do is add in more save slots and most will not complain.

MTX drama aside, dude this game looks fucking awesome :O love the physics.

Unbelievable that he hasn’t figured out yet that he can control his pawns… “I hope my guys don’t attack this drake” bro just tell them not to. “Why aren’t they helping me move this ballista”. Tell them to help you! 🤦🏻‍♂️ imma rip my hair out hahahaha

This is the best rpg I’ve ever played so many dynamic encounters plus a beautiful world makes this game feel so alive

Here’s a tip! When your health hits zero you have a split second there while you’re doing the death animation where you can pop a heal real quick and it will revive you so you don’t actually die right then

Master Assassin: "Only a real thief could find out our secrets" *10 Prior* Me: "Why is this place called The Nameless Village? Master Assassin: *Ominous Smile* "No Reason"

Asmongold be playing game like it's Skyrim... Road is not an option, you have to go by every caves and jumping off cliff to get to your destination 😂

Archer class is so underrated in this game 🎯 it's so much fun even early on

such an amazing game overall, can’t wait for the performance to be fixed soon

1:51:55 OMG I can't stop laughing this is too good it hurts. Brought me right back to my 1st play through of Dragon's Dogma. After the final battle I was quite literally confused about some of the ending scenes. Until I realized the game takes any relationship that's maxed out as your love interests if you don't give the ring to someone. Trying all the classes along with everything else had me talking to the Innkeeper quite a lot. I thought the last couple of times I talked to him were kinda weird with all the blushing. So by the end my guy's rolling around on the beach with the Innkeeper. I couldn't stop laughing then either. Oh man good times. Thanks for this man. P.S. For the record my guy was about to set things straight quite literally. But one look at that green sky put the biggest grin on his face I've ever seen. Then the most horrifying look. He would later tell me. "That's when I realized this one Innkeeper was the only one that could train me. Can you believe that." And I did not. Cause we all know to be considered a good game it must be absolutely flawless in every regard and especially at launch. Just goes to show you there's one saying that stands the test of time. Fake it till you make it bois. And fuck'em. Nope there's two. Should I just correct.... ah fuck'em.

This game made me learn to MIND MY OWN BUSINESS real quick. I got involved in a quest... And a choice I made during it just got everyone involved killed off screen. Keeping it vague so someone else can experience the horror I just did.

The way Asmonds character runs sends me every time .

DUDE that HOuse Bascially Turns your Rest COST TO COMPLETE ZERO

This guy is such a weird little creature. Spends 8 hours complaining that the game is easy, dies to a dragon 6 times. And starts to cry, blaming the game for bad mechanics. Because he has to use camp or potions to heal and could not one-shot a boss.

I love that you can be on fire for 3 mins, get shot with arrows, and stabbed 20 times and survive, only to die to fall damage from 15 ft high

Yo when the pawns tell you they can lead you some where press the "Go" command and they will lead you to it

The game is everything (and more) I’ve been expecting!

Camp sites don't get used up unless they are broken. So 1 can be used over and over again.

This game becomes addicting to play really quickly. So far so good. A little bit of fps problems but nothing that makes it unplayable. The game never gets boring or mundane and always seems to flow so well for an open world game. That is impressive to me because so many open world games get repetitive and redundant after playing for a short amount of time.

2:25:27 immediately sips dr. pepper and attacks the enemy thats a gamer warrior right there

2:12:30 Random senario option, mount Griffyn follow to nest then calmly sneak out and you might have traveled to your destination? This must be a legit thing that can happen in some random way xD

Did no one tell him the beetles increase weight carry?

When Asmon spoke of stunlocking dragons I had flashbacks of doing just that with Warrior Arc of Obliteration in the first Dragon's Dogma

The game's fucking great when it works and it reminds me of the old Gothic games in its immersion and design. It also kills me that the stupid hivemind has guided the conversation to the stupid, trivial MTX when Capcom should have been raked over the coals for the inexcusable performance on PC's.

That drake is the easiest one to kill in this game you wind up both crossbows (there are 2) hit him with one, run into the castle, wait for him to go back, and hit him with the other one, he died after 2 shots.

When a pawn asks to guide you to something or says they have a skill that might help, you have to give them the "Go" instruction for them to do it.

This is my favorite game rn, I’m almost level 60 and the only nitpick I have is that there isn’t any more variation in armor after you beat the game, not many unique sets or super powerful elemental weapons outside of a few options. I will say the unique skills are really cool, and who knows, maybe it all hasn’t been discovered yet even.

Asmongold: This place is confusing. Also Asmongold: *Runs in the same circle 5 times over*

Now Bethesda, THIS is how you do archers and Dragons.

Didn't see the create a character part. First 5 seconds solved that!

Brothel screne is hilarious 1:51:00

1:51:31 I could never look at my character ever again

5:46 So, if this is a game that you can find in a PC cafe in Japan or SK, you're going to find people who will buy things that help them get ahead because they are time limited. It's the same reason why games like Lost Ark have so many microtransactions that help people get up to speed. Not defending microtransactions, but I am just explaining one of the reasons why they are common in Asian games (according to a Korean player).

Don't worry it's going to change his life next upload

Lol, scrawniest warrior we've ever seen... love it.

Did he figure out he can use the golden beetles for more inventory space yet lol

This is honestly the best game I’ve played in a while.

When you use fire its not gonna do a lot of damage but if you use ice it'll do allot of damage.

And i believe those statues all point at eachother in a line that will lead to one of the hidden bosses

Lol after 5h i’ve just figured out that you can press start and heal during the death animation, so you are invincible

Its better than rise of ronin for sure.

This game is going to be another Cyberpunk. It will reach its true popularity 2 years down the line.

I still remember my first drake kill in dark arisen. I was just walking around and I got dragonforged equipment. Very "epic" 😂

Archer master is in Vernsworth, its a quest chain.

I love playing the game to a certain point then watch you or some other people play to see how you went about things. Love rhe different options you have to complete quests or hiw some quest change others depending on if you do them first.

First thing I noticed was Ardent Will. I'm gonna be playing so good tonight lol

more people need to recognize how the high cpu usage is also giving you reactive npc behaviors we havnt really seen before its crazy

you have to love the Asmon. I watched him buy a lantern and yet... still refuses to use it.

If a game support mouse and keyboard, it doesn't mean you should use it. Controller is required in this game. The weight and the 360 degrees locomotion don't work for binary, on/off inputs.

Have to destroy the dragons wings, so it can't fly anymore

Personally, I’ve been really enjoying it. I play on PS5, and I haven’t noticed any issue with towns and lag and all that. I loved Dragon’s Dogma, I hoped this would be better, and it has been. The DLC also doesn’t effect my experience, enjoyment or any of that. But I will say, the Health reduction per dying IS a bad thing that doesn’t make sense.

Watching the drake fight is so tilting when he says there's nothing he can do. Every class has a defensive ability and he just ignores it. He says the game doesn't challenge him enough to use all his resources, never reads anything, tries to speedrun everything, then complains when the challenge arrives and blames the game...

THERE'S NO WAY LMAO. The sequence of events at 1:51:00 where he paid for "services" took me way off guard.

I has no idea Harve village had a good ending to its quest with ulrika till my second play through. This game is so awesome.

His face when he realized the error and now his character is tainted forever😂

Twas a good stream indeed annoying "steam review readers" be damned learn to form your own thoughts already...

The outfit that cost 155000$, are literally all over the town for free, you jst have to go look around. I literally got like 4 of them each both top and bottom😂

OMG ASMON PASSING YHE GOLDEN BEETLES!!! NOOOO, YOU NEED THEM MFS

First of all, I thought this game sucked according to the reviews ? Looks amazingly FUN to me…..

I've been watching him play this game every night I have trouble sleeping. Not because it's boring or anything but because the nature of the game play is calming to me and reminds me of games my dad used to play in my bedroom while he waited for me to fall asleep at night. So I'm really enjoying this

Maaan ur character looks so much like you, nailed it 😂

1:51:25 Hoping this Beastren was the dragons captive at the end 😂

"I get locked in to one attack and it kills me" - feels like you "lock" there yourself xD

I wish there's more normal animals like bears, lion, etc

Is this game about a dragon who's mother is a dog?

You and Synthetic Man are the two channels I know of treating this game fairly.

1:53:00 has me DYING

He gave his character autism.

Ohh top comments aren't crying today good to see

Asmongold: I set myself up for success 😂😂 maxed out everything.... Yeah. In the character editor 😂😂😂

To bad it was capcom that made this game. I am still waiting for the next level Skyrim killer with full modding support. Capcom would get pissy if someone even used a color changing mod.

He would really benefit from the passive from theif that gives you hp when you kill something lol

First 5 minutes of part 1 “use lantern? We don’t use lanterns here.” 30 minutes into part 2 “I can’t see a thing, wish there was something that could coil light the area up”……

I think the funniest part of the playthrough is people Asmon and some viewers calling things bugs when they're just consequences of their (in)action.

Pack of Wolves and flock of birds is what I thought...

Totally buying this game The micro transaction shit won't impact me The one character ever shit is getting fixed And the gameplay looks so fun

The haircut lady is running a monopoly on being the only one in town.😂

> Plays a slow and hard hitting class. > Complains when said class animation locks the character and requires safe positioning. Classic asmon

i’m so tired of not being able to finish quest from being broken or running around everywhere

RPGs in the future :'' you have hundreds of customizable optrions in character creation....and Asmon of course'' the only problem i have with this gameplay is i feel like the stamina, knock downs, running are all terrible and a real dude would be better like a real dude would have more breath when running, a real dude would get up faster once knocked down and stuff like that

Its crazy because ever since I got Warrior, I have literally never died. You are so tanky and do so much stagger that you can kill anything.

You will soon forget the fatigue of a long journey when treated to the foremost hospitality in ALL Vernworth 🤓

Are we going to ignore how he mindlessly gifted a pawn a port crystal...

The charge stab is my favourite thing

3:58 turn on HDR, it's not muted at all

If a dlc appears like in the first game, all the equipment we have from the base game will be garbage
