Im glad that the dragons dogma community is so positive and patient this time around. I mean, DD1 players weren't particularly unkind (they were hands down a pretty chill group in my experience), but it was a videogame in 2012, which means every forum thread had at least one person saying "get gud loser" no matter the context. At least now most forum posts are filled with comments of people not just commiserating, but like admitting to crying about stuff and other people saying "yeah it's frustrating, no shame in letting the tears flow." Like yeah I'm gonna celebrate a less toxic community environment. Hooray for love in a fandom for a game that is canonically about love.

#okay this is kind of a niche confession but i have sensory issues due to autism and sadly dd2 battles get really overstimulating.#its not just 'im frustrated bcuz im not winning;' its that my fight or flight response (anger) is literally triggered during bad battles.#the noise and the repetitive animations and the controller vibration and the pawn down sound effects combined with #literally being helplessly subject to stunlock chains that can last actual minutes with no opportunity to escape is SO hellish.#and i only really care because i like dd2 a LOT and its just really shitty that its a sensory decay experience that i need to recover from #rather than play it to help decompress and recover.#and yeah if i wanted a chill gaming experience i could just play a chill game #but minecraft isnt my special interest! dragons dogma is!! 😂#and i could play on BBI for HOURS and it not be a problem in the first game so its not like dragons dogma CANT be a comfort game 😂#the battle philosophy for dd2 is just 'dont stumble and dont get hit' which is. a design choice ngl.#rant #vent in tags #again its not that serious but it made me cry today so here we are
