Quote: "Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is not a full game. Let’s get that clean out of the way. It will be releasing in a retail form, sure enough, along with a downloadable version, but it is not a full game in its own right. Rather, it is a standalone expansion the likes of Diablo II’s Lord of Destruction, Warcraft III’s The Frozen Throne or Dungeon Siege II’s Broken World. If you’ve ever played any of those, or you have an idea of what I’m talking about here, much in the guise of those strategy and RPG games of old, Dark Arisen is an expansion pack which converts the original (vanilla) experience and brings a whole host of changes with it, while also adding new content of its own. "
Ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's global release, the first iteration in the series by Capcom has been discounted by 84% on Steam.
Teardown out today, November 15, all other titles available from November 21.
Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.
Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.
Baldur’s Gate is a name synonymous with party-based fantasy RPG games. There’s still a stretch of time until the third instalment finally leaves early access. While you’re waiting for the gates to open and welcome you to Forgotten Realms, you might be looking for similar games to ease the wait.
In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.
hilarious because the game that is most like BG3 and a game every DND fan should try is Solasta and its not even on this list
The comparison to other "Standalone expansions" isn't quite fitting. Dark Arisen also includes the full original "Dragon's Dogma" with it, Warcraft/Diablo/DungeonSeige did not.
I'm really looking forward to this expansion. I've been having a blast for quite a while with this game.
Now that I've played quite a bit of Dragon's Dogma, I'm finding that I disagree whole-heartedly with all these "vanilla" references.
