Gamepro: Capcom has taken a peculiar approach to showing off Dragon's Dogma, their upcoming RPG. They talk at length about it being an open world RPG, but they never actually show the open world part. For the most part, all of the demos have revolved around long, drawn out battles against various monsters.
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.
So you haven't seen the footage from TGS I think it was which shows a huge town as well as a huge expanse of land thats fully explorable, monsters and all? If trying to be Elder Scrolls means miles of boring cut and paste grassy expanses devoid of any character then I damn well hope thats not what Dragons Dogma is trying to be. And I can assure you, its not. The combat already looks a lot better than Elder Scrolls: Floprim
I rather play this or Dark Souls than Skyrim.
Having played it at Gamescom it definitely feels more like Monster Hunter. It plays out like an amalgamation of that and Demon's/Dark Souls. Its good fun, reasonable difficulty but it has a massive open world which is amazing to explore. Essentially its what Monster Hunter was missing really. It didn't have much charm though, nothing like MH's Japanese quirks.
I'll take Skyrim over any Jrpg anyday, accept FVII....
If Dragon's Dogma is anything like Skyrim or Monster Hunter then I'm sold.I love both franchises for very different reasons.
