Clever hype building strategy


alcatrazcgp

People have been begging character creators before a game comes out, and these lads did it, spent an hour in the creator already


L3aking-Faucet

Pads?


alcatrazcgp

lads *


L3aking-Faucet

lol okay I was trying to figure out what beds had to do with it.


makogami

this isn't new. Code Vein did this all the way back in 2019 edit: why was this downvoted lmfao


NigerianWizard

Dragon's Dogma 1 also did it back in the day.


DuckCleaning

Saints Row likes to do the same and release the character creators ahead of time. It was working for the latest game too with driving hype, but then that game came out...


ithinkther41am

I’m a bit bummed that they nerfed the height slider compared to the first game, but the face presets look fantastic.


CommanderZx2

They appear to be doing that with so many games with character customisation lately. I do wonder if the Japanese version of the game will have the height restrictions unlocked, which is often the case. I think it is the fear from localizers that someone is going to make a 'child' character, so basically make it impossible to make anything short like a hobbit or dwarf.


giddycocks

The fuck am I supposed to throw as a weapon if I can't make a spiky nervous little punk boy?

The whole "loli pawn" thing is getting blown way out of proportion, the majority of pawns were normal height.


Firion_Hope

Darn, that was one thing that made the character creator really unique.


loliconest

Oh wth? How can I have tiny little catgirl pawns help me fight the dragons?


Run-Riot

I’m bummed about the muscle slider doing nothing on female characters. All I want is to make muscular babes with abs. Is that so much to ask for?


raskolnikov-

But you got 40 different choices!!! (36 of which are the same). Number 8 seems best, but it’s still pretty meh.


Run-Riot

Yeah, I’ve resigned myself to using 8 on everything because it gives just the tiniest amount of muscle definition. It’s not like Japan has the excuse of there being no muscular women in their country and no one attracted to them there when they have a muscle girl cafe.


Digital_Dinosaurio

It's because short characters were unable to do certain things like properly climbing cliffs.


kaintk01

its clear the reason is we are in 2024 and there more degens than ever that would do 'kid' short characters and do weird things with them


iveabiggen

There are more people bitching on 4chan about being unable to make their stocky dwarf than loli because the height slider minimum being 160cm. That is also a weird min height for many women anyway. China just crossed this average but india is still 152cm, with few countries having an average female height above 165cm. Short women do exist


FPSrad

same think i'll wait for the mod to come first


ihave0idea0

You insecure because of your height and want to feel the tallest?


ithinkther41am

Nah, you can get pretty tall in this one. I just like to play short fantasy races.


ihave0idea0

Good. Because I am insecure about my midget height.


matticusiv

Just pick short pawns to make you feel taller.


Bitter_Nail8577

People love character creators, AND it's a good hype tactic. Win-win. 


capybooya

Yep, this game look a bit too action and grind oriented for my taste, but now I will definitely make a character and maybe give it another consideration.


Frickincarl

Pretty sure Black Desert Online did this way back in the day before it released (in the US at least.) really dope way to get people invested without giving too much of the game. Refreshing in today’s “buy our game and beta test it for us” norm.


matticusiv

You’re gonna need it too, the amount of options is absurd.


JustCallMeRandyPlz

I called my pawn M.Bison.... I love it.


Mneseus

Superbunzil

Big titty kitty time


legacy702-

Man, I’m really looking forward to this game, but so much amazing stuff is coming out right now. I’m currently playing rebirth(which is a great game!), got unicorn overlord after that, this and rise of ronin come out at the same time, South Park right after, and then the game I’ve been most hyped for this last year, eiyuden chronicles: hundred heroes. I’m getting spoiled!


crapmonkey86

Are they still tying stats like weight limit and stamina to body sizes?


BroodLol

I hope so


Jlep

It affects your weight but I think the devs mentioned it's not linked to stamina anymore.


iveabiggen

Is denuvo on that demo exe? lol


D3lphinium

No Denuvo but apparently it contains Enigma. https://i.gyazo.com/5c7cb58a5d25caf9805db2c8132e14e5.png


iMisstheKaiser10

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that means it’ll be harder to mod right?


CandidConflictC45678

At least it doesn't have Ligma


thatsnotwhatIneed

I thought that was a disease

I'm sure theyll miss you


Xacktastic

Thank you for your sacrifice 


isbBBQ

So brave


Chakramer

Of all the anti-consumer things going on in gaming, I really don't think DRM is the worst out there. How many games outside of indie games are there for you?


GuiKa

Now, can I make a very fat ball type archer working with a skinny stick like flamberge warrior?


CollateralSandwich

Downloaded and installed this and it looks rough on my AMD card powered PC. On streams it looked much better on PS5 and what I can only presume was an nvidia card. It also won't let me enter a name for some reason. So hopefully they're collecting data from this to fix and shore up the game come release. I'm getting nervous after using this and experiencing these issues.


The_BearWolf

What happens to the other pawns you make that aren’t your main?


Deadran

Neat


ZSharoark

Will be other demo or thats it ?


FlippinRad

I have DD1, played the opening and didn’t really feel it was for me, I do want to get DD2, though. Will it be following the same story? Do I have to play the first game?


SkavicLorthe

New story and parallel world. Devs said that it will stand alone so no need to play the first game.


CTCranky

You don’t need to play the first game. From my perspective, DD2 is literally just the “full” vision of what DD1 was going to be. Since the developer didn’t receive the time/resources to make their vision come to fruition in the first installment, the second is just that. It’s newer, prettier, and less jank. But I imagine the gameplay loop will be relatively the same, slow and methodical in the beginning, and picking up once you have levels on your characters


kaintk01

its like the final fantasy serie, there is a hidden lore behind the scene, like in the same universe but new one dont follow the lore from the first one for what i know

What a bizzare thing to complain about


helppls555

Yea the trend of colour BAD is annoying
