Dragon's Dogma Review | GamePlox

"Don’t think of Skyrim or Dark Souls while playing Dragon’s Dogma; just take this unique experience and enjoy it for what it is. For all the small faults that tamper with its formula, it remains an engaging and rewarding experience, and cements itself as a game worth playing."

"Dragon’s Dogma’s brilliance shouldn’t come off as a surprise if you’ve paid any attention to the trailers and info since it was announced. Sure, the demo was a bit lackluster, but the game is so much more than that limited perspective gives; the pre-launch trickle of news made many think it would be something special, and they were right. With a competent story and a bewildering ending(at least the one I got– there are multiple ones for your replaying enjoyment), satisfying combat and level progression, an amazingly careful attention to detail in every possible aspect, and more, it’s hard to not find yourself swayed."

And what, exactly, is 'bewildering ending' supposed to mean? That could cover anything from Catherine to ME3.

pr0digyZA4380d ago

OXM also said something about the final five hours being incredible, and something many "top ten" lists will use in the future. Although they said they don't know if anyone else got the same ending as them as it was one everyone should see.

KozmoOchez4380d ago

OXM also gave the game a 60 according to Metacritic, unless the one listed is different from the review you read. Don't understand why reviewers say awesome things then rate a game low

@KozmoOchez

Not too sure which oxm that is maybe the uk version, the official magazine gave it 8/10 and gave quite a nice write up

KozmoOchez4380d ago

yeah that link was to the UK one, so I'm assuming the US one is the one that gave it the 60

Flipgeneral4380d ago

can't wait for this game

brodychet4380d ago

I know. I was joking :/

pr0digyZA4380d ago

Ugh these faceless words :(

xXxSeTTriPxXx4380d ago

knew this was something special.hope DD becomes a success, so they can optimize the engine more and make something great even greater.

i hope this is the beginning of a new franchise.

Nerdmaster4380d ago

I want this game, but I will only buy a PC version.

pr0digyZA4380d ago

I was planning on doing that as well, but I am weak and decided I'll get it on PS3, and sell that if a PC version comes out.

jamstorr864380d ago

I was glad to see the reviewer stating how you should get Skyrim and Demon's Souls out of mind when playing as it seems this game is different enough and unique enough to warrent judgement on its own terms. I have this on pre-order and can't wait to play it.

Rockefellow4380d ago

Yeah, it's important to differentiate between the two. It's a problem with a lot of games, becoming to accustomed to the specific style and complaining when another, similar games is played, but it's especially important here when people are going into DD with other games in mind.

Dragon's Dogma Is Still Amazing

Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.

A lot of the quest lines in Skyrim are good(not all and they don’t add up as a whole if you do thieves guild mage fighters guild etc) The dragons are very lame after the first few times and the combat is clunky as it always has been. The stupid sprint button is ridiculous.

Overall I agree DD is the better rpg game.

Both have theirs strengths and weaknesses but Skyrim should be so much more being the 5th game in Elder Scrolls series.

Excited to see what they add on to DD 2.

Unfortunately all they have done to Elder Scrolls since Morrowind is take things out (minus the sprint button which is so lame because you can kill dragon god like creatures but can’t run for more than ten seconds without getting tired)

anast71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

I liked the vampire questline and the return to Morrowind was okay, but the problem with Skyrim was the lack of consequence. There is almost no point in the quests. After I realized this, I started messing around with the mods and then quit playing. Though, I did spend 300 hrs. on modded content, but this is telling of how bad the game kind of is.

If DD was the size or close to the size of Skyrim, It would have been the primer fantasy game back then. I hope they up the size with DD2.

5 Games To Play While Waiting For Dragon's Dogma II

Daman Shelley from NoobFeed writes - Dragon's Dogma is truly a one-of-a-kind game, and there really is no other game like it, but there are a few that come close. Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.

every gamer should play this game

gold_drake121d ago

cant wait for it, feb and march are busy busy months ha.

SovereignSnaKe121d ago

I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.

MrNinosan121d ago

I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.

DivineHand125121d ago

Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.

The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.

For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
