BT writes: When first booting up Dragon’s Dogma, the title screen begins with a lovely piano motif, slow and steady, playing in the background. The motif has a somber mood to it at first, before picking up after a few seconds into a more, fuller score. But, after a minute, the piano is replaced with an electric guitar, and that same motif serves as the base of a J-rock song that could be found at the front of most anime shows.
The change was jarring, one that I did not expect when I first heard it. But after playing Dragon’s Dogma in depth, and reflecting on the game as a whole, it became apparent that this sudden musical change was a precursor to the game ahead. Taking ideas from its contemporaries, from Demon Souls to Monster Hunter, this Frankenstein monster of features makes Dragon’s Dogma a misshapen, shambling figure, one that apes several sources but never truly meshes together.
Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.
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.
Love this game. Been playing this non stop. 9 of 10 is my score.
6/10? its a damn good game. yes it has a few bad things wrong with it but 6/10? This should be a good read....that or just another reviewer to mark off. Lets see what the reasons are.
-Leave Dragon's Dogma alone if you can't say anything nice! I've been playing it non-stop since release! ^_^
