Sticky Trigger writes; "The idea behind Dragon’s Dogma was simple; an action-RPG with a strong mythological presence. Why had this never been tapped into properly before? Capcom rarely venture into the RPG territory as developers, and with a unique spin on the genre and the help of Hiroyuki Kobayashi (best known for his work on the Resident Evil series), there is a lot of excited for – yet wary of – from this ambitious project."
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)
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.
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.
I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.
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.
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.
Dragon’s Dogma achieved its highest concurrent player count in over six years over the weekend.
Excellent game spoilt by grindy combat and no fastbtravel the stones travel system was rubbish
I'm doing my part to contribute to this. Found out my pawn had been a busy bee while I was away.
when i found this game i loved it and played the hell out of it, got to the demon in the expansion and after feeling pretty good at the game he wiped the floor with me, fatigue set in, but i need to get back into this i think, looking forward to 2 for sure.
"With the likes of Skyrim and The Witcher 2 showing just how good a fantasy RPG can be, it’s hard to be satisfied with something so under par is so many ways"
WTF is this shit, having more fun with this than does games
witcher great history but the gameplay with does qte and other stuff that dint like
skyrim i can a lot but the game enemies leveling with you is a killer for me, same with the lot
oh well opinions
Harsh review...
Absolutely LOVING this game myself.
I would be interested to see what "Laxmans" review scores are for some other "Bigger" Publishers games were. Everygame has flaws, but do they take away from the overall feel & fun factor of a game in the GAMERS mind?, that is what is MOST IMPORTANT overall players expectations. I think THE INDUSTRY in general are the ones PUSHING the idea of CO-OP & MULTI-PLAYER on gamers, down are throats, making gaming into a SOCIAL thing for $$$ sake. Thats why I feel this review is not a good one. CORE Gamers dont really care about the SOCIAL ASPECTS(ONLINE multi player, ONLINE co-op) as much as we care about a good game & A plus would be OFFLINE CO-OP or OFFLINE multi player. We dont CARE about the ONLINE/SOCIAL stuff, THE INDUSTRY DOES, & their trying to INDOCTRINATE gamers into caring about what these GREEDY/CONTROLLING SOCIALITES care about , so they can make more $$ off the GAMER. simple. PS- I would say there is "a type" of gamer who CARES MORE about the SOCIAL ASPECTS to gaming, but its predominately #1 the "Competitve FPS crowd", the Socialopaths who want to beat on there chest & boast about how good they are at a VIDEOGAME(lol) , #2 you have the CASUAL SOCIALITES who like to play easier, more simple , streamlined games & talk with there friends as they do it, Nintendo & Mobile gaming helped create this bastard child, they just want to be RELEVANT, NOTICED, & appear SOCIALLY HIP to there friends, they dont play CORE GAMES like "Dragons Dogma", its not SOCIAL (lol) or BRAINLESS(mindless) enough for them. I DONT SEE no Journalist ever take this PARADIAM into account when reviewing games.
I bought the game, beat it and I am happy I ignored these reviewers. I loved the game.
