CVG- Dragon's Dogma: Is Capcom conjuring a sleeper hit?

CVG: "Just when we thought The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Dark Souls had tied up our next twelve months of fantasy RPGing with a neat little bow, Capcom had to go and announce a project that has clouded our crystal ball somewhat.

The game's positively bursting with promise. It's a pure blend of Capcom's Monster Hunter and Lost Planet, and sees one nameless hero on a crusade across vast ancient lands to hunt down a malevolent dragon. So far, so brain-shrinkingly obvious. But on the other hand, while most RPGs would be content with throwing you up against goblins, orcs and the odd towering troll along the way, Dragon's Dogma has far greater ambitions."

Game gives me a Demon's Souls vibe, but with mythical creatures. Looks pretty cool.

Godmars2904714d ago

Demon's Souls *IS* a game with mythical creatures. Only these aren't as darkly themed. Also you can jump on them.

And I'm calling jinx: you can't call a game a "sleeper hit" if it not even out yet.

Voxelman4714d ago

Considering that it is CAPCOM's most expensive game to date I think they wan't to conjure more than a sleeper hit.

TheLastGuardian20104714d ago

Agreed. Why they are deeming this game a sleeper hit, when it's meant to be a game of the year type of game (at least to capcom, and the budget, and the pedigree of the developers behind this) is beyond me.

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)

anast72d ago (Edited 72d 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.

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.
