Lol, okay thanks for the heads up.
Is difficulty your major complaint? Or other bad points?

Is difficulty your major complaint? Or other bad points?
I got quite far into the game but then I forgot to play more.... It just has no hooks.
First game I thought was bad but it had many hooks to keep you playing still. It looked so amazing, I wanted to see every world, this game doesn't look as good or interesting, in the first game you visit a very different and fastastic looking world like evey 3-4 hours, it's like a theme park ride. Collecting pokemons in the first game was also pretty interesting and much better, that was something to pursue. This game has kingdom building instead which I didn't care about at all... story is bad in both but first game has a better flow. It's like a typical fantasy adventure. This one never has urgency to push through. It's whatever. Combat is decent but there is no challenge, I don't know how the game is after difficulty patch.

Yeah this game wasnt very enjoyable.
Sorry I cant jump back in.
Never touching it again, might watch the cutscenes of the second dlc but that will be it.
DQXI was better but I've had enough jrpg this gen anyway. KH3 maybe as that seems to be something different at least.

I had enough of the copy pasted dungeons without paying to play more. Unbelievable that I'd find a Joe Hisaishi OST to be frankly oppressive and boring. Even in that trailer, it's the same tunes I've heard thousands of times. I ended up turning the music off. Probably the first JRPG I've done that.
I enjoyed Nino II,even with the simple story and easy combat at first,finished the main quest but could not do that last Door thing,by the time I reached the end,I was at level 5 Danger and did not do any damage to the Boss lol...waiting for that next DLC, if its a story one and meaty, maybe I will pick up the Season Pass...they did take way too long to get those out though.

I just don't like it cause the message of the game is weaker, Shadar/White Witch was a much stronger and more relatable villain duo, familiars could have been refined. Character interactions are weaker, music retreads last games music.
I will say the combat for the characters is better.
The citizens make up for losing the familiars a bit, as some of those sidequests/interactions in 2 were the best part of the game imo.
Do you say this because of the quality of the extras, because of the quality of the game or only because you can still find it at much lower prices now? I ask, because every now and then I get the urge to buy it when I see a good price.
I had fun with NNK2 but it didn't quite live up to my hopes and expectations for a NNK sequel. Out of curiosity since I'll never experience it myself, did the increased difficulty patch help make the game feel more engaging? I had trouble maintaining interest in all of the peripheral systems and mechanics because at the end of the day I didn't need to engage with them much to get by, the game was just too easy. I bought it at launch so I didn't have a choice.
Been keeping my eye out for this DLC, I'll be jumping right back in when it's out. Thankfully I didn't delete the game from my hard drive.
Not gonna fall for this crap again. The media were never called out for the way they praised this shitty game to heaven. 84 MC score, my foot.
Loved the first game, but I gave up on NNK II yesterday, couldn't stand the boring characters and story. It's so bland and the combat is not fun, even on hard it's quite easy. It didn't help that I played and finished Dragon Quest XI a few weeks ago (a JRPG masterpiece imo).
Biggest disappointment of 2018.

No. This them phoning in the obligated Season Pass DLC that a lot of folks paid for and never recieved yet.
I don't know of any other publisher / developer waiting 9 full months after advertising Season Pass content to THEN make an announcement of it actually existing. Namco really dropped the ball on this one.
Yes I think this is even worse than the Fallout 4 season pass. I think the wait between game release and DLC specifics has been extremely protracted for NNK2, possibly more than any game I've seen yet
The (EU) CE was nice, will probably be the last one I buy though. Haven't touched the game and I've got this big box in storage as my shelves are full.
9.5 Easy Allies folks!
That guy should never review a jrpg again, Moore still has credibility though.

I will not even play this even if the game and the DLC are free. It is horrible. Traded in my PS4 copy after a day. I am good with DQ11 and saving my money for Tales of Vesperia HD.
It's an 85 metacritic game, a 9.5 is not an outlier, i don't know why you're calling that particular review out. The people who gave it mixed scores on metacritic are the outliers. There are 76 positive reviews for the PS4 version alone, out of 84 reviews.
Waiting for the story DLC!
Got into the game post difficulty patch and found it all well and good. The loot is a good incentive to play on harder modes too.
I found the presentation stellar and had a better time with it than NNK1. The fantasy parable seemed more aptly presented in NNK2.
The real world character, mmm, pretty clumsily implemented but I found the segments where you go back and forth between worlds in NNK1 kinda jarring anyway so neutral points there. The sidequests tied to citizens are much improved to mix and matching specific citizens pieces of heart too.

Those are honestly far better games anyhow. I'm not as down on NNK2 as many others, but it's definitely a game that should be gotten on a nice sale imo. Especially when you have games like DQ and VC already.
I didnt even know this game was gonna get DLC, let alone had a season pass thst tbey havent delivered on until now...
That's from their email, looks like they don't mention this on the news website or twitter though.
The exact quote :
Additionally, a free update will fix some minor issues and raise the max level cap for party members to 120!
Really interested in the story expansion and what it will contain. This one doesn't look anything special. Hope they'll make a GOTY edition or something with everything on the disc, would get it for the story expansion and also play this I guess.
Looks decent. I enjoyed NNK2 a lot, it's a good game, even if it wasn't as good as the original, so I'll be happy to jump back into this one.
The Story DLC is the one I'm looking forward to the most though, hopefully that will be good and worth the wait.

Does anyone have the Trophy descriptions for the new DLC?
I haven't been able to find a list and I've only gotten one of them so far.
Edit: Nevermind. Found the list.
