I played the demo and it's ok. Id rather buy dark souls. I beat demon souls and love that game. It's tough but once you understand how to play it there's nothing more rewarding. I still need to try skyrim out.

Captain Qwark 94363d ago

demon souls = amazing
dark souls = amazing
skyrim = skip it. your better off playing morrowind if you need to get your elder scrolls on

TopDudeMan4363d ago (Edited 4363d ago )

All I'll say is they're two different games.

If you want good combat, go with dark souls.
If you want good story, go with skyrim.

But dragons dogma seems to have both of those down from what I can tell. Maybe it'll be a happy in between.

sandman2244363d ago

Im convinced. I'm going to buy dark souls today. And to topdudeman you are right about the combat for dark souls. That's why it's such a great game, and let's not forget about the boss fights. There's nothing like taking down a big monster.

"If you want good story, go with skyrim."

uh ? Not sure i follow . Skyrim is more like if you want to explore the land and have your own adventures .

Skyrim doesnt even have more story than both DS games .

And dogm is just its own beast , an action adventure games with tons of rpg elements and chunks of monster hunter .

TopDudeMan4363d ago

lol, sandman, if you liked demon's souls, I dunno why you even hesitated on buying dark souls.

WeskerChildReborned4363d ago

Skyrim is pretty good and has kept my busy for a few weeks.

vikingland14363d ago

I liked the Demo and thought it showed the games potential. I wouldn't compare it to anything on the market. I think it is it's own type of game with the pawn system.

Can't wait to release my magic archer :)

kostchtchie_4363d ago

loved the demo, day one, also the way you can let other online players use your npc helpers seem really cool idea

DigitalAnalog4363d ago

The problem with the demo is that you're completely overpowered. There's no sense of achievement when defeating the bosses. All it did was introduce the mechanics into the game. I'm pretty sure it would've been a lot better if we were to start from scratch all the way up. The review scores seem to be consistent with being great so it's a safe buy.

yuval1524363d ago (Edited 4363d ago )

I think it's balanced because if you see the capcom livestream on youtube you can see that bosses are very common,and making them too overpowered is unbalanced(especially for people who just started playing).

And in demos you're supposed to be overpowered.

DigitalAnalog4363d ago

"And in demos you're supposed to be overpowered."

What? A demo is supposed to be "representative" of a small portion of game, if you notice the huge disconnect between player's hands-on and reviews, there is a big difference within both experience. Case-in-point: Spec-ops: The Line demo. It's pretty much the sample of what the game is all about that includes deaths, I don't feel any "overpowering" advantage about it. Again, had DD properly introduced the game to what it is then maybe our hands-on approach would be more in line with the reviews that are coming out.

This game had 2 chapters, a prologue and some other level. The first one had you at LVL.30 and you're telling me THAT is the experience of someone who's going to start off that powerful? Imagine Dead Space Demo with ALL the weapons at max grade - wouldn't exactly have a proper bearing to what the game is about, right?

RedDead4362d ago

It's unfortunate that in the demo you were way overpowered, it nearly turned me off the game before I found out...Yes you are horribly overpowered in the demo. Some Devs think that 'difficult' turn off alot of people so they make sure the demos are not hard.

This game is supposed to be very difficult though. Wanna take a risk in this game? It's a big risk, you'll likely come across something you can't handle.

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.

DivineHand125103d 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.
