 Hell yeah, what's up guys this is Chris Pike my friends call me big C back in action today I'm back in the heartbeat tool h.ki or h key and I want to talk to you about dragons dogma 2 this game comes out in about seven days six if you're on the eastern side of the world I believe and holy smokes it looks awesome and not only that they've got a great new intro to dragons dogma 2 or welcome to dragon dogma 2 video part of me that's a little bit better way to put it and it's narrated by Ian McShane we're talking the guy from john wick I mean elsewhere engine from deadwood mr. wednesday from american gods this is an awesome trailer it's got some awesome moments and it looks like a great game so let's kick off using the heartbeat tool and take a look here all right here we go a world touched by magic a symphony of myth and reality an everlasting saga of hearts set ablaze I mean is that not a great voice or what come on guys give me a break here so on the right side here I'm going through the heartbeat tool and these are the moments that I've selected and these are the names that I've given them so let's get forward a few seconds here to john wick elsewhere engine in deadwood you'll hear the voice lend me a moment and I'll tell you a story of a fantastical realm wow all right here we go so this trailer or this I guess welcome video is broken up into three parts it's got the hero the second part is about the two nations and the third part is about the monster so there's three separate parts let's kick off here with single combat no more for me dare to dream of challenging the dragon in single combat yet there is one who must in a legendary tale doomed to repeat across the ages the dragon chooses a worthy champion from yeah that's you by the way that's your job as the arisen let's get forward here to 112 and let's look at the arisen and what your role is in this game wrenching the beating heart from their chest and forging a being known as the arisen right so the heart skits ripped out and it looks like it goes down the dragon's gullet that's a rough way to start life it's a rough way to start off as a hero but uh hey it is what it is all right so let's go forward to a minute 31 and this one i've called dawn coyote vibe i'm getting some real good dawn coyote vibes off this moment here and answer the call to take up arms in search of the dragon who stole their heart literally it literally stole it and ate it and i guess it joins you with the dragon in destiny or something like that pretty dark not gonna lie about that but anyways let's just keep going here this is also not a single player well it's a single player game but it's not a single or a solitary journey let me show you what i mean here but the path of the arisen is not a solitary journey for they are granted access to the rift the three and no they're not talking about that video game that came out like 10 years ago or 15 years ago called the rift red connecting worlds i see you recognize my world where they can summon mystical beings from parallel realities the loyal and hardworking pawns okay so the name pawn that doesn't really work too well for me that just seems like a kind of like a cop out like you know there's kings and there's pawns but hey you know what so be it uh we're gonna skip forward a bit now here you can see just already this some of the cool open world adventures your vibes you're getting from this let's go to part two where he talks about two nations in pursuit of the beckoning dragon the arisen and their pawns set foot across two nations as disparate in terrain as they are in their ways of life cool in vermond a fertile land cradled by alpine peaks and rolling hills the fortress city stands as a bastion of prosperity and security now listen to this cascading waterfalls the serpentine rivers flow throughout the countryside feeding into fruitful farms where a feeling of abundance permeates the fresh air that is borderline poetic good poodles to the writers for that serpentine rivers and fruitful this that and the other you can even hear the alliteration in there very cool but anyways guys let's skip forward a bit more here we're going to go now to the next area let's take a look at that and it ain't nice and green and verdant like this one connecting precarious outposts here the arisen is not an esteemed sovereign but an outsider yeah a little different their pawn companions believe to be a source of grave misfortune but tall's rulers are not of human lineage but rather beastron priestesses who worship the lamb and flame while the beastron believe its sacred fires shield them from the calamity of the dragon right so um yeah i guess that gives you a little bit of the lore going around the different types of creatures pretty cool not gonna lie about it let's take a look at the elves in this in in this you'll see there's elves coming up what can i say it feels like lord of the rings but you'll see meanwhile outside the reaches of human and beastron hidden within the depths of the forest an ancient set of elves resides in seclusion speaking in a tongue known only to them and avoiding contact with other races all right i get some lord of the ring vibes there except these elves are shut-ins and just don't get out of the forest if you know what i mean they're kind of like the pygmies from uh the national geographic books from the 70s if you're old you'll know what i'm talking about anyways guys the other thing i want to talk to you about is the choices you make in this in this game apparently choices matter let's take a look on their journey the arisen will navigate through conflicts between species and the complexities of culture faith and history in each land cool the choices the arisen makes will shape not only their future and that of those in them they interact but the future of the world itself so the vibes i'm getting from this is that this is not just a you know select a b c or d and they all kind of lead to the same thing apparently it's open world and your choices do matter i didn't play the first one so if any of you guys have played the first one and want to weigh in on that let me know in the comments below but it looks pretty damn good now guys i'm going to finally finish it off here with the different monsters let's take a couple look at they've got a lot of monsters in this game but let's take a look at some of the some of the big ones the arisen's odyssey is fraught with terror for the world is home not only to human and eastern but to all manner of monsters hungering to defeat the hero and their fools so there are some of the monsters but it gets a little crazier because apparently the knights are are even like worse like the daytime there's the big monsters of the day but at night they got some guys and gals coming out skeletons ghost undead let's take a look at that you can expect a busy night skeletons ghosts an undead rise from their slumber a single undead murmuring to itself adrift in memories of its living past is a haunting sign yeah how cool is that i've seen some comments in in on one of the websites that that some people got early access to try out the first few hours and they said yeah don't go out at night so i don't i don't know if that's referring to what we're seeing here but it looks pretty damn impressive last thing we're going to do here is we're going to look at the minotaur the medusa and then the soaring griffon then we'll call it a day the minotaur's trampling hoops the medusa with its petrifying gaze i've woken up to worse and the doula hands ghastly severed head will strike fear in even the most stout hearted i mean really guys that just looks awesome and then finally another moment here is there's a griffon slay the soaring griffon and overpower the bronze giant talus so i'm even getting some of that greek mythology vibes in there and then finally the last moment is called moment 19 so i didn't update it so i'm going to show you how easy it is to use the heartbeat tool so i'm just going to call this one instead of the moment 19 i was going to call the dragon and then hit save and now let's click on the final moment at 720 here with the indomitable dragon the culmination of both their destinies welcome to dragon's dogma too all right though this so there you have it this game looks fantastic i think i'm going to pre-order it i've been itching to play an rpg for a while now and you know i don't have lots of time but this one looks like a good game i can sink my teeth into let me know what you think about this game what you think about the preview in the comments below i'll be back soon with some more heartbeat moments thanks for watching
