IGN- Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Review

IGN:It’s difficult to argue that Dragon’s Dogma is a universally great game. It’s great at combat and exploration, but the quests are often boring, the fiction is turgid and its technical problems are unignorable. But it’s a very good game, and it’s so interesting that I’m inclined to forgive most of its problems because it succeeds in such important ways. The Dark Arisen expansion content pushes the boundaries of fairness towards the end and saves its best rewards for the most dedicated, but in terms of design and ambience it’s an encouraging indication of what this talented team might come up with next. At this budget price, Dragon’s Dogma is absolutely worth a try.

Imo this expansion is done right. The dlc rewards those that spent $60-$100 and houdreds of hours with new high level content. It also reintroduces the game to new players with additions. This was one of my favorite games from last year and i was afraid that my high level character, just like new game plus initially would be too strong to even be worth it.

And IGN hits a new low.

"KEZA MACDONALD"

Oh jeez what a goddamn surprise to see that this pathetic score was given by a pretentious "reviewer" that is notorious for hyping up s**t games while giving lower scores to good ones.

porkChop4014d ago

So this is an expansion? Does it include the original game as well?

Heavenly King4014d ago

yep, similar to Super Street Fighter IV. If you have not bought the original, if you are interested, you should buy this.

porkChop4014d ago

I've heard it's somewhat like a Japanese version Elder Scrolls. Any truth to that?

xBigxBossx4014d ago

It's more like an intense 3 way between god of war, shadow of the colossus, and skyrim .

porkChop4014d ago

@Big Boss

I loved all of those games so that sounds pretty awesome to me. I think I'll pick up the PS3 version :)

You Can Now Get The First Dragon's Dogma For Less Than $5 Before The Sequel Arrives

Ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's global release, the first iteration in the series by Capcom has been discounted by 84% on Steam.

sushimama44d ago

If anyone is wondering the first one still holds up well to this day. It's fun

Grandia, Klonoa, and Parappa... NICE!

MrBaskerville164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.

If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.

shinoff2183163d ago

It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.

LG_Fox_Brazil164d ago

GRANDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Fckn love that game

StormSnooper163d ago

Is it good? I never played that.

crazyCoconuts164d ago

Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.

MrBeatdown163d ago

Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.

Elda164d ago

Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.

crazyCoconuts164d ago

Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.

Elda163d ago

I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Alternatives – 7 Top Games Like Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate is a name synonymous with party-based fantasy RPG games. There’s still a stretch of time until the third instalment finally leaves early access. While you’re waiting for the gates to open and welcome you to Forgotten Realms, you might be looking for similar games to ease the wait.

anast288d ago

Some good games on that list.

FalcorMononoke288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.

Becuzisaid288d ago

Are you including BG3 in that comparison? Or just the first 2? The first 2 are tough to get into now, and I never liked the ad&d rules. The 5e rules are much easier to grasp. But BG3 seems to be just DOS2 but times 10. Haven't played it in early access at all, just going by what I see online.

Nittdarko288d ago

hilarious because the game that is most like BG3 and a game every DND fan should try is Solasta and its not even on this list
