Here's why Dragon's Dogma is awesome (video)

Capcom's Dragon's Dogma is likely to not be on many gamers radars, but that is perhaps a mistake. The game sits firmly within the action RPG genre complete with westernised style, but oozes a quality that is going to be well worth the price of entry.

Probably going to be one of the year's most overlooked games sadly.

bunt-custardly4406d ago

Capcom aren't pushing this game as hard as they did with RE: ORC so it's not surprising people aren't getting excited over it.

Looks interesting enough but the action role playing genre is very crowded.

zeal0us4405d ago

Blame Capcom if its overlook. The game looks fantastic but given Capcom history with DLC I think I'll wait a while before picking it up.

rdgneoz34403d ago

Yah, Capcom's recent history with DLC has me questioning. Luckily though, I don't see any articles ever mentioning them having any plans for DLC. THe other bright side is this quote...

"Clocking in at (according to the developers themselves) around 30 hours just for the main story but pushing the 100-hour mark for an expansive, thorough playthrough"

So it should have a decent amount of content if they ever do anything for DLC / locking stuff.

But overall, cautiously checking the game out. Hopefully they don't mention any plans for DLC in the near future (except for the Berserk DLC outfits for Gutts and Griffith to go with the anime movie coming out. Hope those come state side as I loved the original series).

I've certainly got my eye on this now after hearing good things about it. Liking the pawn system very much.

FunAndGun4406d ago

I hate that pawn system. I don't want to follow, carry, heal, listen to, revive, or care about some crappy AI teammates.

bunt-custardly4405d ago

From watching the video it looks more like the AI are there to support you, not the other way round.

FunAndGun4405d ago

^^
yeah, I don't need or want their support in a single player adventure, but you MUST have one pawn with you.

betcha they don't shut up and are annoying.

just more hand holding that isn't necessary.

KidMakeshift4406d ago

I hope the Berserk armor makes it way over here

rezzah4405d ago

It is already on the disc for everyone, but you have to unlock.

Thing is it hasn't been said how to unlock it.

KidMakeshift4405d ago

Sweet

Now they just need to add co-op

Ness-Psi4406d ago

I have to say this game is looking really good.after the dissapointment of kingdoms of amalur and getting a bit tired of skyrim this could fill the void.

WeskerChildReborned4406d ago

I'm just gonna stick with Skyrim.

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)

anast70d ago (Edited 70d 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_drake119d ago

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

SovereignSnaKe119d ago

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

MrNinosan119d 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.

DivineHand125119d 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.

I'm doing my part to contribute to this. Found out my pawn had been a busy bee while I was away.

Thats awesome. More people should enjoy this game.

HyperMoused693d ago

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.
