PS Uni: Dragon's Dogma Demo Impressions

PlayStation University's Tyler Lee gives his thoughts on the recently released demo for Dragon's Dogma.

This game is my new obsession. I can't wait. I think my character will start as a Strider and my main pawn will start as a Fighter, but I could change my mind.

Edit - The writer is wrong about your created character not being usable. Your character and pawn show up in the Griffon battle as a Strider and Warrior. The point about the pawns being too talkative was valid, but in the final game there will be an option to tone down the frequency of their vocalizations. Also in the options, you can remove some of the screen clutter if you so desire, by turning off Pawn Subtitles and the control display in the lower right corner. You can also turn off the lifebars of the pawns and enemies, but I don't recommend it.

You can also turn off the cinematic camera if you like, so the camera doesn't go into slow motion and focus on pawns when they do their various moves. I thought it was cool at first but I preferred it turned off.

this game will be awezome, so much fun with a 10 minutes demo imagine how it ill me the full game....

I'll be honest, there has yet to be a single Capcom game I've looked forward too this generation. Save for Street Fighter III Online, I haven't given Capcom a dime, save for a few Ibuki avatars. This game has finally given me something to look forward to from them. I loved the brilliant character editing options, and I can't wait to use my characters in the main game when I get it. :)

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)

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.
