Kotaku: When news first broke of the game, I had assumed it was just a fantasy-based Resident Evil or Devil May Cry, but after a little close encounter with the demo provided at the event, a new truth about the game was revealed: Dragon's Dogma is, in a way, a Japanese take on the Elder Scrolls series.
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.
More like answer to Western Rpgs in general. The very reason why I haven't picked up Skyrim or Bioware games just because of this game. I'm not saying Dragon's Dogma is better, but if I had to pick one, I think this would do for me. It's like looking for the right gf.
This appears very promising - by all accounts it sounds like the Japanese devs have done their homework by researching what makes a great western rpg from the likes of Witcher/Elder Scrolls/Fallout/Dark Souls.
Would be great if Bioware could extricate themselves from EA and do the same.
Except that the devs and Capcom don't call it a RPG at all.
Dragon's Dogma looks interesting and I'll probably be picking it up but please, lets not start comparing every new fantasy rpg to skyrim.
Did capcom need and answer to skyrim? I think i'm going preorder this. It looks good and it's a new IP which seems rare anymore.
