My friends list is now full and I can't do anything about it at the moment since my account is restricted, so I apologise in advance to those who send me friends requests I can't yet accept.

 

[Lanrutcon]

So basically it's like devil may cry's style points which gives you xp according to how well you performed. Got it.

Pretty much. There are a lot of guides on how to take on high level areas with a low level character to get tons of xp and awesome loot, for example. But that kind of thing is more suited to a second playthrough.

Tomorrow there will be so many character screenshots the OT is going to be awesome.

How big does the list get?

 

[The Yo Tornado]

I think i've found my start menu song:https://youtu.be/BXw-l7dDNcY?list=PLPs0THIUAAzBIHmodWVnfDWnIL-_O-ogJ

Spoiler

Don't get me wrong, i like into free.

Top of the priority list for a sequel if they ever make one should be to allow monk/fist builds of some kind. Hell, I'd even be cool with magic being use-able without staffs or something. If punching is ever a weapon type, you bet that I'll throw every OPM song I can in there.

 

[Lux R7]

Unlocks at 7.30 PM here in Italy. It will be a Dogma Night.

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm about to go over 100 owners on my friends list

It depends on your account level.

uh

9 AM PST should be 6 PM here

 

[MakeshiftChef]

I need to know this too. I've got Amazon gift cards for days and like $3 in my Steam wallet.

I know this isn't ideal, but you could convert your Amazon monies to Steam bucks...

Ah right. Forgot about that. My paltry level 25 is probably like 100.

 

[Carlius]

ENB is out from Boris

 

[johancruijff]

How big does the list get?

250 base + 5 per account level + 50 if you link your FB profile to steam

 

[Houndi101]

C'mon Giant Bomb get on that quick look!
Also does anyone have a summary of the reviews?

 

[Lux R7]

uh

9 AM PST should be 6 PM here

it says 1 day and 5 hours on steam now. I got it wrong?

 

[Deleted member 286591]

My start menu song for sure (it just goes so well with anything anyway) :

You're right.
It unlocks at the same time everywhere.

 

[Parsnip]

Boop.

 

[Vuze]

Boop.

Oh cool, if that's true for everybody (I know it's supposed to be but... yeah game unlocking on steam lol) it unlocks one hour earlier than is expected!

 

[texhnolyze]

Yeah, that's one hour earlier than my timer as well.

 

[Lach]

Oooh good choice. When it comes to games that song will always belong to that witcher 2 trailer for me....

 

[Lux R7]

that's weird. Well, the sooner the better.

 

[garath]

Probably some daylight savings tomfoolery.

 

[Deleted member 286591]

Exactly, but I love it too much and it's always a good fit for games that have a good sense of exploration and atmosphere.

 

[Caesar III]

Enjoyed it on the PS3, but playing this at 60 FPS without borders makes it much more enticing to jump back in.

Bought it today in retail store. Unlocked and preloaded already. Time, fly FASTER!

[Shengar]

Available: January 16
This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 6 hours

C'mon capcom, you can't do this to me

 

[Zakalwe]

Anyone have a step by step guide to installing the enb? Followed the tutorials on the site before but I've never been able to get them working.

What exact files will I need, etc?

 

[Sarcasm]

Why does my client says 1 day and 4 hours when the person above says 1 day and 2 hours?

 

[paperspace]

Oh cool, if that's true for everybody (I know it's supposed to be but... yeah game unlocking on steam lol) it unlocks one hour earlier than is expected!

I'm pretty sure this one is correct.

When is the OT allowed to go up?

It'll be allowed to go up in ~4 hours (24hrs before release), but I'm not sure when Grief is planning on putting it up.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

Just maxed out Assassin for the first time, and I can see why people love this class. Dark Souls players and people who hate pawns should take note, this is probably the class for you.

- It has satisfying parries and counterattacks.

Spoiler

Activating the "Masterful Kill" skill is a bit like parrying in Souls, and the riposte is a gorgeous, multi-hit, acrobatic launcher. Just about any physical attack can be parried too, from a tiny goblin's club to a chimera's pouncing slam to the enormous fist of a cyclops.

-Easiest class to solo.

Spoiler

The "Autonomy" augment (perk) grants you big bonuses to attack and defense for traveling alone, I find myself doing even better without pawns than I was with a full party.

-Most versatile class, with access to short bows, daggers, swords and shields and all of their respective skills.

Spoiler

The "Fivefold Flurry" bow skill and "Hundred Kisses" dagger skill give you a godlike offense at close and long range.

The only downside is having low HP compared to most other classes, but unlike in Souls you're extremely maneuverable and can really easily utilize the environment to your advantage, making the old git gud adage of "don't get hit" very feasible.

This is pretty much the only thing that's missing, a "punchy" vocation. Though I think it's mostly missing because The king of dragons and DnD didn't have that class either.

 

[paperspace]

C'mon Giant Bomb get on that quick look!

Oh they're gonna make a QL? Cool.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Yup, Assassin class is amazing at night due to all the bonuses. I solo'ed the offline Ur-dragon with it. It was so easy.

 

[Mupod]

Just maxed out Assassin for the first time, and I can see why people love this class. Dark Souls players and people who hate pawns should take note, this is probably the class for you.

Are they the only class with parries/counters? That is the thing that I love most in...well, any game where you can parry or counter.

 

[doomquake]

What is the absolute worst build to play?

I've been told a night perk assassin or a magician.

Thanks for this.

Myself I'm torn between this and a warrior with a big ass sword.

The big ass sword tempts me because this game is so good giving hit feedback with the slow-mo and such, feels like using a greatsword will be a dream.

The assasin is tempting me based on his versatility, having a class that works with sword and bow means that any combat style is possible.

I'm sooooooo torn :C.

Someone speak good about the warrior and the bigass weapons, please.

 

[Sylas]

Mystic Knight also has parries/counters in the form of perfect blocks when they certain shield spells active.

You can do both preeeeeeetty easily. Don't commit to a single vocation before trying out whatever you think sounds rad. However, warrior and the bigass weapon can do a stupid amount of damage in a single hit. If you wanna totally dunk on monsters, it's a good vocation for that. You get less skills (which the PC version might mod out), but you also don't need as many since they're all basically "Do a shitload of damage."

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I've been told a night perk assassin or a magician.

ehh..I don't understand this question?

You mean the night augment that buffs your damage? That makes assassin pretty super strong, especially combined with the lone wolf augment.
Also magician isn't a build, it's a class of its own and works just fine.

 

[JaseC]

How big does the list get?

There's no hard limit, but there is something of a soft limit of 250 or 300, depending on whether or not you have a Facebook profile linked to your account, which increases by 5 with every Steam Level you earn. E.g. My profile level is 101 and I have my Facebook profile linked (though I never make use of the functionality), so my list has 300 + (101 x 5) = 805 slots.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Its not unlocking at midnight?

 

[silva1991]

And pre ordered. that eternal stone better be very fast to get lol.

i'm dying to have an actual great Griffon fight(looking at you Witcher 3)

 

[Sylas]

You can get the eternal stone once you get to Gran Soren, I believe. It's in your item storage.

It's not like you really have any use for it before Gran Soren, anyway.

 

[JaseC]

Midnight unlocks are generally reserved for high-profile releases as someone at Valve has to flick the switch, although if memory serves I think wbacon said circa the release of Dead Rising 3 that Valve was looking at allowing publishers to handle worldwide and country-specific release state changes themselves (but I'm probably misremembering). That Valve has to change release states itself is also why games don't release on weekends.

I guess the people who suggested those as the worst builds were just trolling me then.

My question is what sort of combination can I choose to have the most ineffective character to do a playthrough with. I don't want to artificially gimp the character (like no potions, or only wooden swords)..but I want to play a class and a build that is presented by DD as a choice but in reality is one of the worst.

 

[Shari]

My fun doesnt come from big numbers. Does it have fun gameplay, combos? Cause the good thing about the assasin is that switching between bow and sword can spice things up, if I'm stuck to the same type of weapon for the playthrough I hope at least it can translate to some fun gameplay more than "my numbers are the biggest".

Anyhow, you are right, I must try both to be sure, nothing will be lost on the way

 

[CadetMahoney]

What is the absolute worst build to play?

pure magic min-maxed, with low health Warrior at DLC area and somewhat in general. His/her moves have very long start up, that you can only really bunny hop light attack really. Has no climbing skills (like thousand kisses) and the high damage moves can't be done when climbing so soloing a gorecyclops will take too long chipping away at non-weak points. Same thing with drakes. If you can't reasonably damage the weak point it becomes tedious, even when you access to the weak point you have to resort to bunny hop light attack to do reasonable damage lol (because of the slow start up other moves/skills).

Dragons dogma isn't high profile? Its the best 6/10 game ever made!
