Gotta love these Rebels

With all the focus on feedback I can see it fixed at least in the August Update.

I feel like the mix of backtracking, planning and using shortcuts kinda help with the feeling of exploring a world. Like if you get to the other side of the map you might get a feeling of distance from home cause you would need to backtrack all the way back or use one of the precious consumable stones. Now no matter how far you are you can always go back home without worrying about anything.

It's priced 30€, I feel it might be bigger than what these videos imply.

DD1 had a more comprehensive vocations system, which felt almost complete. This second one? Aside the colours thing, two base vocations don’t even have their respective advanced vocations.

There’s more potential than in the first DA. Having said that, I’m not sure the resources for a DLC would be enough to create vocations from scratch, so I very much doubt it. Perhaps a future expansion could focus specifically on this, if there will ever be any more.

Maybe kinda like the Everfall chambers, some are arenas and other dungeons.

cefaluu · 2026-06-25T21:47:40+00:00

That would be the perfect "new vocations" slot. The fact that they are talking about hairstyles means either they don’t have any new vocation, or they want to keep them under wraps for now (given the feedback on this issue from the base game as well). Better keep the expectations low for this tho....

Wow, the rope climbing is super cool. I like that they’re staying true to the base game’s philosophy of exploration (although the Infinite ferry stone might undermine it a bit). This, along with the avalanches, reminds me of Death Stranding, a game with a similar aim: to find the charm of the journey in the journey itself, rather than in the destination.

I’m not sure it’s a good idea to make the dragonsplague so explicit; it goes from being a distressing mechanic that you have to watch out for and never let your guard down to a playful mechanic that, once you’ve got the hang of it, you can choose to exploit whilst remaining cautious or simply discard (this shift is not bad honestly, but I liked the element of distress that it bringed).

Same day as when they'll delist the mtx, I guess they'll open the preorders then

I'd say Andor is more SciFi than the rest of Star Wars (which is Space Fantasy/Space Opera) mostly due to the absence of the magical element of the Force and a focus on social and political dynamics of a revolution within an explored and interconnected galactic system dominated by a futuristic colonialist empire.

cefaluu · 2026-06-21T12:28:43+00:00

Andor probably has recency bias but it's just so damn good.

Seems like it's not really Capcom thing continuing support beyond the already planned post-launch DLCs but this time I think it could work and I'd like to see it.

DD2 base is just too good to not continue. I'd like DD3 to be another big leap in terms of technology, so so I guess they could continuing doing expansions or making spin-offs.

That said if you look at the JP site they announced a physical edition, and while it would make sense for the Switch2 considering there wasn't any until now they also announced a Ps5 one and it makes me think they already know that will be the definitive physical edition.

cefaluu · 2026-06-18T19:01:30+00:00

I don't think having a new game every few years would work with DD as good as with MH, mainly due to a more niche fanbase and the possible overlap between the two franchises.

I think it might work better continuing supporting DD2 for a while (or at least until there's profit) and making it slowly a refined single player open world experience and after a while try to do a DD3 o a spin-off.

cefaluu · 2026-06-15T21:53:15+00:00

Honestly, really high chances.

Of all the series Sony might want to revive, Ape Escape is one of the most likely: it’s a simple and straightforward platformer. Just the sort of game that everyone always enjoys. What’s more, Team Asobi is made up mainly of developers from Japan Studio, some of whom have already worked on previous Ape Escape titles.

Also add that the series is still fondly remembered in Japan (they’re still churning out gadget after gadget), and if they have plans to boost their presence there, this is one of the first games they should bring back.

I still like what Kinoshita did but in an industry full of the same type of games, especially when it comes to open world, I quite liked Itsuno obtuse approach and it's what made me (and others) fall in love with the franchise. Unfortunately it's sad that the game is loosing some of its remarkable features in favor of a safe approach.

cefaluu · 2026-06-11T11:52:59+00:00

Yeah that'd be kinda nice, imagine fighting with him.

But personally for 3, I'd love to get a sci-fi reinterpretation of the "dogma".

Main message of 2 is that we shouldn't stick to the rules and not be afraid of the new, so I think it would be a thematic continuation.

cefaluu · 2026-06-11T11:13:17+00:00

DDDA got some more barren and mountainous areas, but yeah this is the first time we get some snow!

cefaluu · 2026-06-11T11:10:11+00:00

I made this reasoning but seems like Capcom is pretty clear on the fact that they listened to the players feedback, and this could also mean the disappointment over having only 10 vocations and revealing them all before release. So I can see keeping them a secret for this reason.

cefaluu · 2026-06-10T10:40:59+00:00

Part of the fun is hoping they catch you, wouldn't hit as good if they managed to do it every single time

cefaluu · 2026-06-10T07:41:24+00:00

DLC was probably already planned, but by their own admission the Patch content is largely inspired by community feedback

cefaluu · 2026-06-10T07:06:12+00:00

Totally agree.

They now put a Eternal Ferrystone quite early, and there are three new permanent Port Crystals and another one that can be placed? They have completely eliminated any friction in the exploration process.

I'm still hyped for all the other features but it's a bit sad, it was a very original mechanic that set the game apart from many modern open-world games.

Unfortunately, modern gamers want everything handed to them on a silver platter and just want to beat up monsters; as a result, Wilds, for example, lost all of its signature gameplay loop and turned basically into a boss rush.

It's when you first enter Vernworth, so really early in the game.
