A modder radically sped up the combat and reduced stagger by about 80% so the combat feels like the original.

I don't recommend playing this because it's so mid and bland but if you have to I do recommend this mod, it almost entirely fixes the combat.

Is there a mod that adds ground targeting on spells and the spells sorceror lost back? It's what made Sorc interesting in 1 (more so in the dungeons than the open world).
 
Tldr: The hardcore fans of this series are insufferable sycophants who hero worship a dude who simply got lucky, and they make engaging with the community in any facet a fucking chore.
I enjoy the random seething I still see directed at capcom. People really think the sequel being so underwhelming is solely because capcom either

1. Slashed the budget
2. Gutted the dev time
C. Both

People genuinely think capcom tried to intentionally sabotage the game for no real reason, other than to I guess fuck with Itsuno despite him being pretty well respected with a good track record thanks to DMC. I mean, the guy was trusted enough that capcom gave him one of their largest in-house dev teams ever at the time in order to make the first Dogma despite neither him, the company or his team having any experience with a game like that before and the fact that doing this directly impacted DMC and ResEvil since the next games as a result of people being pulled off those games to work on Dogma(Racoon City and the DMC reboot are the result of Dogma 1). And they obviously had enough faith to give him like 4-5 years and pretty standard sized AAA dev team as well as budget.

So this idea that this series' hyperfans have of evil capcom having a vendetta against Itsuno is strange. And what makes it even more strange is that both Itsuno and Capcom are, for whatever reason, very happy with the game as is. Capcom recently stated something like "the game is performing exactly as we'd hoped", and Itsuno has said multiple times that this is what he always envisioned the game to be.

It was one thing for the hardcore fanboys to circlejerk the game as some hidden gem that's totally a revolutionary game, despite having zero impact on the gaming industry in any way whatsoever, when it was just one game with an unfortunate amount of cut content. It seemed, at the time, that the issue was solely down to corpo fuckery. But now we know that's just not the case.

The first game was as plagued as it was because itsuno had much grander visions than he was ever gonna pull off, on top of having to design a whole new engine to handle the bullshit the first game let you do. And history simply repeated itself with the sequel.

I'd be concerned if it wasn't. Also, of fucking course a modnigger is acting up and gateing his mod.

You're not entirely wrong. However, on one hand spite is the ultimate motivator, no matter how small. I've seen people self-sabotage all sorts of shit and ruin it for everyone just to spite one person. On the other hand, it's Crapcom, they're an enigma when it comes to development and it's a dice roll for whether they're going to shit out...well, shit or gold.

Nail it, I like DDDA but fuck me people treat it like they stumbled upon the fucking Arkenstone of Thráin, makes sense that it drives people nuts when anyone mentions it.

So I guess no DLC?
That's sad, the game was great but clearly very unfinished.
I wonder if Capcom rushing release had anything to do with his leave or if he was going to leave either way.

I'm sure DMC will still exist without Itsuno, they'll probably remake 1 with 5's gameplay or something.
But DD is as good as dead, now. Which is sad, because there is nothing quite like it.
 
Kill uruks. Behead uruks. Roundhouse kick an uruk into the flagstones. Slam dunk an uruk baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy uruks. Defecate in an uruk's food. Launch uruks beyond the door of night. Smoke uruks in a pipe. Toss uruks into Mount Doom. Urinate on an uruk's bedroll. Judo throw uruks into a troll pit . Twist uruks heads off. Report uruks to the Rohirrim. Karate chop uruks in half. Curb stomp pregnant black uruks. Trap uruks in quicksand. Crush uruks in mountain avalanches. Liquefy uruks in a vat of acid. Eat uruks. Dissect uruks. Exterminate uruks with a magic spell. Stomp uruk skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate uruks in the oven. Lobotomize uruks. Mandatory abortions for uruks. Grind uruk fetuses in a big mortar. Drown uruks in fried halfling grease. Vaporize uruks in the furnaces of Aulë. Kick old uruks down the stairs. Feed uruks to nameless things. Slice uruks with Elf-wrought blades.
 
I was probably going to buy this when it got whatever 2's equivalent of BBI but now it's firmly in the don't buy category for me.
 
This game has about a million issues but the biggest one for me is Capcom straight up lying and saying the reason I get 20 fps in the settlements is because my high end CPU isn't good enough.

It runs at 20 fps because this piece of shit has both Denovu and Enigma.

Don't piss in my face and tell me it's the rain.

Looking back at the games promotion videos, He did look a bit off leading up to the games release. i dont think all the diversity and anti-racist commentary was not part of Itsunos "vision". some speculate Capcom forcing him to release the game early for fiscal to please shareholders.

Started flicking through the DD1 artbook and you really see the passion behind it and it's sad to think the final game was nowhere near that vision. It's no surprise that when they got a sequel they chose to basically remake the first game since it was nowhere near what they had imaged and they didn't do Gran Soren justice the first time. Just depressing to think that they still missed the mark this much after being given such a rare opportunity.
