I hope ppl don't think I actively detest dd2 cuz I absolutely don't.
Hell, I have more hours in it than I do dd1 (dd1 –> 600+ hrs / dd2 –> 800+ hrs).
I love dd2 and am one of it's biggest defenders against ppl who hate every single little thing about it and how it's "not like dd1" or "the combat is shit".
Yeah. It's not like dd1 cuz it's a roguelike not a dungeon crawler with resource management of a town attached to it (if you don't like that, don't play dd2? It's not your type of game and that's okay !!).
However, the 2nd complaint is a skill issue on your part lmfao– Idk how ppl find dd2's combat difficult?? The combat system is the game's best quality imo. Everything is predictable and well shown (except that token glossary, they need to update that asap cuz goddamn rip new players).
Basically, I find that if you lose in dd2 it's your own fault for not preparing or bringing a team that's not built to last (especially in a Grand Slam for example). Whereas, in dd1 it's typically not your fault, it's the rng's fault.
The only parts I really don't fw are the heroes' new backstories, how they handled the "face your failure" section of the game and some of the heroes' new looks (tall & buff Dismas needs to go to hell 😭). But that's just my opinion. No one has to agree with that cuz it all comes down to personal taste and no one's taste is superior to anyone else's.
Yknow?
