When does the game start getting fun?

[Princess of Celery]

I tried for 6 hours trying to enjoy the game, but I am not having fun with the world or etc... The combat is fun but that's it. Does it take more time to get into?
My frames are also horrible in the city with stuttering too.

So far, I even find things like FF14 more fun. It lacks the charm of the original game.

If it's not doing it for ya after six hours and hopefully 3-4 monsters fights it might not be your type of game. You can likely get a refund if you're truly not having fun, the 2 hour window is solely for automatic refunding - everything after is manually reviewed.

Who knows..... Its quite subjective. You will find people telling you this game is awesome, just like some other games released of late, but yet some don't agree. Its really down to you and your enjoyment, nothing more.

I'd rather eat slugs than play FF14. If that's what you think is good game, then you definitely shouldn't be playing this one.

FF14??? Thats a MMO and a game I would never play. Can't compare the two tbh.
If your stuttering alot in the city I would avoid it, you have to do alot of quests in the city.

Gotta purchase the fun DLC for $19.99

you just probably aren't the target audience for DD. Not for everyone, took me three or four times of DD1 before i enjoyed it.

My fun started after the loading screen ended.

I've played games like elden ring to about 500 hours, and love this type of combat, I am just finding the open world, and the npcs to be so dull, as coming from Elden Ring, it seems to be a massive drop in quality.

That is quite literally it, the combat, if that doesn't grip you, well hope that $70 didn't dent your wallet much

You literally can.

One of the very first quests in DD2 has you deliver a note to a NPC, collecting weeds and combining them into a potion, then collecting some mushrooms, giving them to that NPC, then returning to the first NPC. That is a bog standard MMO-style quest.

And FF14 even lets you do dungeons with NPCs, just like your pawns in DD2.

They are literally the same.

The questing system has been set in lets say RPGs and MMOs for many many years. Its pretty sad and god awful lazy. (I dont agree with it, just incase)

It's NOT just the performance and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ MTX, which on its own would be plenty.

- Voice options in character creator are all the same single black female VA, then they used AI down/up sampling to make the other voices. This means that male voices sound strange (female) and most if not all the female voices all sound like a black or english woman.

- Combat is NOT good. Feedback is non existent, swinging a sword feels like a mobile game from 2005. Lackluster sound design, vfx and haptic feedback makes it look and feel like you're swinging a plastic weapon. Same goes for spells, especially the magic bolts.

- They REMOVED 40% OF SPELLS from the first game. There is NO HOLY OR DARK enchantments, attack spells etc. There are only one or two holy defense spells.

- Sound design is incredibly lackluster, both in SFX and music. The first game had amazing music, soundtrack and more. This sequel has what can best be described as AI replication of what a generic MMO or Elder Scrolls clone would sound like.

- They replaced Mystic Knight vocation with Mystic Spearhand, simultaneously removing several builds that are essential to a game like this including paladin, spellsword etc, and instead recplaced it with a class that feigns a mixture of magic and melee just because you have some teleportation abilities to then fight in melee.

- In the first game you could bind six abilities to use, in this game you CAN ONLY HAVE FOUR ABILITIES AT ONCE. Another downgrade, bravo Capcom.

- Character animations are stiff as hell, cutscenes and in game alike sees them stand still and move only their mouth. Looks like more AI animation to save money or something. Sometimes their eyes move if they have to express surprise or something.

- Conversations are incredibly inorganic, forcing you to press a button after EVERY - SINGLE - SENTENCE to progress the conversation. Holy hell it's so stupid.

- Nearly exactly the same abilities as in the first game, almost no new spells or tactics, excluding the new trickster and mystic spearhand vocation. As mentioned above in fact, they removed a lot from the first game.

- Last but not least, if you use a PlayStation controller while on PC the game overrides your Steam settings and blasts bright colred light on the controller, which will be reflected by your screen and obscure what's going on. Nice cherry on the rotten cake.

Seems the game is very slow pace...
