Dragon's Crown Review: Heavy Metal | Polygon

Polygon: "Dragon's Crown makes a strong first impression. It's a fun mix of RPG tropes and dynamic brawler action. But I found its over-exaggerated art style alienating and gross in its depiction of women even as it shines in building a world of fantastic monsters and environments, and the forced grind through the same stages dulled my excitement. Dragon's Crown is a wild place to visit, but it doesn't quite hold up in the light of day."

who funds this website? well i know it's not sony with all the bad reviews their games get from this site.

Dir_en_grey3913d ago (Edited 3913d ago )

Just vote the site down and move along
Comparing the score to other sites clearly shows this review is done by some retarded troll

DEEBO3913d ago

this isn't the 1st or the last sony game to get bad reviews from this site.the guy that review last of us mark it down for hits.and what's wrong with the character design?maybe he should take off his bra and burn it at the womens rights protest.too sensitive

jimbobwahey3913d ago

It's well-known that Polygon was funded by Microsoft (for quite a large sum of money too!) so make of that what you will when seeing the scores that they hand out to PS3 exclusives.

Ezz20133913d ago (Edited 3913d ago )

this is a site who see "sony" on the cover of games
and without even play it they give them 6.5-7.5

so no shock here
also they this site is funded by Microsoft
polygon become very irrelevant and no one care about them

fossilfern3913d ago

Can people not have opinions ? Or do we live in a world where everyone has to think the same?

Corpser3913d ago (Edited 3913d ago )

^

As opposed to those that see "Sony" on the cover of games and without playing think they all should be 9/10? The game is only out in Japan now

seeing some other scores popping up and they are pretty good, in the 8s-9s. this site just tries too damn hard to go against the norm oh well.

their opinions become less valid everyday it seems.

majiebeast3913d ago (Edited 3913d ago )

Microsoft funded them 1 million dollars before the site was even up. They have been shilling for Microsoft even defending the DRM and always online.

So far they have given.

Lastofus a 7.5 way below its average and a worse score then Remember me.
Ninokuni a 6.5.
Soul Sacrifice a 6.5
God of war a 7
Sly Cooper a 6

Arthur Gies is still hoping for that job opening at Microsoft so he can replace mayor flip switch.

For people that dont know Arthur Gies he is editor chief at Polygon and the biggest shill in the industry. He defends stuff like always online and spreading BS like the xb1 was gonna be more powerful then the PS4 because it had special sauce. Last week he was one of the first to say, yeah i knew the PS4 only had 4.5 gigs for games for months, then fell on his face when it was revealed to be BS.

Corpser3913d ago (Edited 3913d ago )

You failed to mention

Persona 4 golden - 10
Guacamelee - 9
LBP Vita - 9
MLB 13 the show - 8.5

Forza Horizon - 6
Kinect Star Wars - 4
Fable the journey - 4.5

All I see here are the same people that complain about every review of a Sony exclusive that is not 9/10 . And except those that are in Japan, none of you have played the game! How would you know what the fair score should be?

despair3913d ago

"But I found its over-exaggerated art style alienating and gross in its depiction of women even as it shines in building a world of fantastic monsters and environments"

I refuse to give then a hit, this alone is so funny.

Blastoise3913d ago

Awww I wondered how long it would be before we saw someone whining about the art style

Lame.

TongkatAli3913d ago

I would never tell a artist how to draw, that's so disrespectful to the artist.

InTheLab3913d ago

Wonder what Sessler has to say about this...

callahan093913d ago (Edited 3913d ago )

But she has no problem with the same grotesque over-exaggerated bulging half-naked men in the game. Just the women. Go figure. There is no sexism in this game. She just wants to perceive it that way. Fighting paper tigers.

Butters3603913d ago

Polygon is starting to try TOO hard to be different. When you're one only one out of the main major review sites to single out two highly anticipated PlayStation exclusives, you know something is up. Her gripe about the art style has NOTHING to so with how the game plays. Her only true complaint that is sometimes grinding and repetitive.

chestnut11223913d ago

LOL! Who still believes Polygon?

HammadTheBeast3913d ago

Wow. He says that Dragon Crown is "repetitive and dull".

And then gives Remember Me an 8.5, GG I'm done.

Why mention PS5 when talking about PS3

325d ago
Magog325d ago

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast325d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie325d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.

1Victor201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

Let me save you the time to scroll down no Warhawk or Starhawk, 2 of the best co-op games on PS3

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

franwex1117d ago

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1117d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1117d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021117d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1116d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1116d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661116d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021116d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1117d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1117d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901116d ago (Edited 1116d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1117d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1117d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Teflon021117d ago

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901116d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1116d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1116d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1116d ago (Edited 1116d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1116d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1117d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
