The Failings of a Gamer – sucking at Dragon’s Dogma

So, a few weeks ago I wrote an article on how I suck major balls at Dark Souls II. I think that some people are too quick to gloat about how incredible they are at a video-game these days, and far too big-headed to admit when they can’t quite get the hang of it. I’m one of those people that will admit their mistakes, however infrequent they may be, and use them as a learning experience. So here we have it, my second article showing the world how I fail as a gamer. I’m sure there will be plenty more than two articles, as I have a tendency to fluctuate between rocking at a game and sucking at a game.

Dragon's Dogma can be a hard game to play if you play like a noob. Leveling up and completing side quests is a must if you even want to consider taking on some of the more dangerous monsters and the final battle with the dragon. I hope there's Dragon's Dogma 3 for the PS4, but who knows what Capcom is thinking. I guess we'll find out with RE7.

DD2 was never released, nor is there mention of one in development.

Dark Arisen is an additional dungeon (which is hard and adds it s own side story) and tweaking of the original game's weapons, armor and skills.

Mutant-Spud3675d ago (Edited 3675d ago )

The side quests also have effects on the main story, so it pays to do them, without spoiling anything one of the first big monster battles can be easily won with the assistance of a certain NPC but you have to do a long and fairly difficult quest for him first. Also update your pawns every few levels and try to hire pawns a few levels above the arisen because they acquire knowledge as they level and will most likely give hints on how to complete quests.

I wouldn't write an article about me sucking balls; but then again, it is a metaphor.

Just kidding, good article, btw and you're right: you do have to plan ahead in DD, and DS2 as well.

i thought DD was easy , i completed it with ease ...
but it is one of the best RPG games ive played since a lot o time , and most unique too

Dragons Dogma.

Playig whit your Pal and rented Pal from other players - Too easy, no metter the difficulty.

Palying using only your pal and in the hardest - Good, we have a something interesting.

Playing Alone, no pal and hardest - Yeah! thats what i'm talking about, the game is epic playing Solo! It get's easy when you have all the "overpower equips", but it's a very good chalenge util Mid Newgame+! A must play for Dark/Demon souls players!

MeteorPanda3675d ago

go assassin and kill stuff at night :P thats how people were ripping apart the Ur Dragon, lol

rextraordinaire3674d ago (Edited 3674d ago )

Never completed Dark Arisen... That extra dungeon was way too hard for my poor underleveled character ( If level 80+ counts as underleveled...) But then again, ranged mystic knight is not the easiest class...

But what an awesome game. I had much more fun with DD than any game in the souls series.

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)

anast92d ago (Edited 92d 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_drake142d ago

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

SovereignSnaKe142d ago

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

MrNinosan142d 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.

DivineHand125142d 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.
