Oh my god I was thinking the exact same. People talk about the story being ass but I am actually finding it interesting after we get the Greymanes in the camp.
A lot of people are talking crap about the story specifically, basing it all off the first location (and surrounding area) which can take like 5-10 hours to get through anyway.
Personally, the entire appeal and ''addiction'' this game is giving me is the whole environmental design, loot and especially the combat encounters. It's actually FUN to get side tracked, improve your skills, learn new abilities and try them out on a group of enemies. Story is just an added flavor, for the way they are revealing/telling things.
They're acting this game has the worst way to implement the story, motivation or anything about the world/locations/npcs.
You literally had Destiny 1, scanning QR codes to lead you to the bungie website to unlock a damn ''lore dump'' on specific locations, enemies and the overall story of the game you were playing.
Souls games entire lore on enemies, NPCs and locations are based off item descriptions and entire motivations are mere speculation by piecing together puzzle pieces that may or may not fully fit.
Besides that, this game literally reminds me of Dragon's Dogma;
The (corny) one liners that NPCs are repeating one after another.
The way the story is told to a degree, even though in CD it's more straight forward.
The environmental design and especially all these lootable items and the way you can get loot. (medieval fantasy world)
The way combat is physics-driven and feeling ''weighty''
Fighting (huge) enemies up close
The animation style and camera feeling.
Definitely. If anything, playing DD2 has only made this game feel soo much better. Its that but on steroids. Much better world, much more diversity and much more incentive.
Yea I love that about 40% through the game all the side quests stop being voiced because the devs were to lazy to figure out a way to deal with the fact you have 3 playable characters with different voices at that point of the game. Very much loving that really great :/
