Since its Capcom... I doubt this will be a day on purchase, most likely they will have some stuff locked on the disc for future micro transactions :D If the demo proves to be interesting ill wait until game drops to half the price

LOGICWINS4388d ago

At least Capcom releases a Gold Edition of some sorts with all the DLC afterwards(Activision doesn't even do this). Let the hardcore fans get screwed and then let the average joes get the complete edition.

It's no different than being charged $600 to buy a PS3 Day 1...and then being able to get it 5 years later at half the price with an HDMI cable, better reliability, and two games.

Patience pays off.

Yes, this gen was a hard lesson learned. But it's not our faults. We were used to getting what we considered quality games forever. Since the NES days. Never in my life was I disappointed as I was this gen. Broken games back in the day meant finding secret glitches or funny physics issues. This gen we actually only recieved games that were prettier, but had way less content. They even have dlc on disc that you have to pay for in the future, as the issue has pointed out on many occasions. Sick of it all actually.

But see for me, it isn't about brand loyalty, its buying games like TM even though you know you can get the game on the cheap in the future, you wanna support the companies that struggle, cause I see things from their point of view. It's more the publishers faults than anything though, so it's counter productive to keep buying games used, when the companies themselves really don't deserve. Now that I think about it, maybe Sony should have just turned into the next Sega? They could be making games on other platforms so they don't have to worry about losing money up front when investing in newer tech.

lol yea 5 years later and without backwards compatability,usbs, and readers

kevnb4388d ago

im surprised they arent charging for it.

MissAubrey4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

dont worry they'll be charging for weapons, quests and new monsters that are Disc locked in no time when the game hits store shelves.

*I would love to know who dissagreed so when the game does hit shelves I can say I told you so Capcom has done it with everygame theyve released this gen even arcade/psn titles so whats makes you think that this game will be any different?

MrWonderful4388d ago

im getting it off the japanese PSN :)

MrWonderful4388d ago

Just finished up the demo. If you have a Japanese PSN account the demo is in english and its short. Two missins. One is the Griffin and the other is the Chimera.

MariaHelFutura4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

I thought it was going to be a BIG demo like Kingdoms of Amalur. Its SHORT.

Captain Qwark 94388d ago

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)

anast54d ago (Edited 54d 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_drake104d ago

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

SovereignSnaKe104d ago

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

MrNinosan104d 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.

DivineHand125104d 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.
