I'm seeing a mixture of [Citation Needed] and features that sound more like they're done for marketing purposes rather than add anything of true value to the minute-to-minute gameplay. What does expanded grappling mechanic mean? Or what do you mean by more enemy behavior and what ways does that improve the gameplay for me? Foes with low health can be dealt a killing blow when they are at low health is just a trendy mechanic in modern gaming. So? Never felt like it was missing in DD1. Will there also be an awesome animation of me killing the enemy each time I trigger it? I hate those. More skills sounds good but as I already heard the magic dagger skills were removed from the MA and all I've seen in the gameplay vids are the same spells I was able to use in DD1 so everything I've seen is contrary to the claim that there are more skills in the game. I need something more concrete than "trust me bro it's gonna be awesome".
For fucks sake, after the success of Elden Ring you would think devs would man up and start putting some goddam challenge in their games, but no let's make sure everyone and their grandma can beat it
What's even the point of half of the systems and combat if enemies die if you so much as fart in their direction?
One thing I hoped they would actually improve is difficulty, seems they made it even easier..
so a 1080p upscale on a TOTL CPU
should (probably) get about 30-50fps on something midrange like a 12th gen i5 and a 3060 at max. optimize the settings by cutting back on shit that's borderline invisible to see like GI and shadow quality and 60fps should be doable

Elden Ring ain't hard bruv. The game can be cheesed too death which is why it was so successful. You think normies actually beat Malenia fairly? Most of them probably never even ran into her.
4players.de is speaking of lazy game design, an uninspiring world, combat gets repetitive fast, and getting jumped by enemies every two minutes is tiring. Grognards only.
Sounds full of shit tbh. I'm not buying that "combat gets repetitive fast", he's either not playing a class to suit his playstyle or playing on an easier difficulty setting, because the first game's combat was fun for fucking ages, and they've added to it not taken away from it.
Given that you fight the same enemies from DD1 over and over again, I can see the combat getting old fast. Also, people familiar with DD1 say that DD2 is even easier.
Honestly, after around 10 years for me, I'm really not that bothered about revisiting old enemies. They'll feel fairly fresh after that time.
And that's my point with the difficulty. Most of the reviewers won't be playing it on Harder settings to judge it in it's fullest context. They never do.

Right now, I believe that there are no difficulty settings and hard difficulty in DD1 was kind of shit anyway. I have more hope that modders will fix this game than the devs.

Looks like I'll be waiting for some performance patches but likely to buy at full price. Not happy with some decisions made but it looks overall like what I wanted it to be.

Stop saying this crap without backing it up with sources and facts. Multiple people have said this and provided no sources or facts. I'm just seeing a bunch of morons repeating something some other moron said.

Was undecided between gold or silver, but a friend told me silver makes her looks a bit sickly

A shame that the editor only allows to migrate one of each
Also a shame you can still only have 1 main pawn, would've loved to form a party of just those 2 girls
Still have a few ideas...
A middle age wizard, a thief ressembling the Persian Prince (from the Sands of Time triology), a dwarf, a witch, a weird tribal warrior, a redheaded huntress and a Khajiit thief (although that's already 1 character over the limit...)
Can the adaptive difficulty be disabled? I asked earlier and nobody gave an answer. That crap doesn't ever work as intended and I'd rather play without it.

I wouldn't say it worked particularly well in God Hand either. It just made the game harder until you got hit in the face a few times after which the challenge would be instantly downgraded. Or if you were a wussy you'd use the Roulette skill to drop your level down.

There doesn't seem to be a way to disable it, from everything I've read.
It's the one aspect of DD2 that I'm wholly opposed to, but I'm confident it's not going to ruin my fun in my first playthrough. I'm sure we'll have some good mods down the line to deal with that for subsequent playthroughs. Time to get a PC, SDG.
Can you expand on why it's great? It seems like something journalist and normies would love. That way they don't have to feel bad about lowering the difficulty.

Higher difficulty = more enemies, enemies use new attacks, enemies are way more aggressive, and there is a higher chance of super bosses. If you didn't get hit for a while, or were completely styling on enemies, you would reach this mode quite fast. And if you got hit a couple of times, you were brought back to a lower difficulty while still fighting. It worked quite well for the earlier missions, but as Hobo Elf said, it could become quite tedious, since the later stages of the game were just throwing hard enemies at you nonstop. But that really was just a bad level design, imo.
Also, regarding the game being highly dependend on the end user having a good CPU. What exactly is running in the background again while playing the game? Denuvo, and Enigma? Hmh..!
