HardGame2- Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen Review

HG:It's been almost a year since Dragon's Dogma landed on consoles as an alternative to major RPGs that have attracted much attention during the present generation. Oblivion, Skyrim, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, The Witcher II are all great titles, and Capcom did not want to miss this party and thus gave us the great, though less popular unfairly, Dragon's Dogma. Now comes the revalidation with Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, a pitch at a reduced price which includes the original title and an expansion.

This is great, I missed the original so I'll be buying the whole package tmrw. Skyrim has always been too easy for me and Dark Souls is my bread in butter. Can't wait to play something in the middle thats different.

"Can't wait to play something in the middle thats different."

It's much better than something that's in between Skyrim and Dark Souls. Get ready to throw ogres off cliffs with tornadoes and summoned meteor showers.

Should I go Magic or Melee class? Whats most challenging and requires most skill?

Baka-akaB4014d ago

Imo , magic is easier . To each their own but i find magic to be a tad overpowered in such games . It allow to survives the early encounters better , and later own you are mega powerful , even in demon's souls

Blacktric4014d ago

Magic in Dragon's Dogma is arguably the best representation of magic in any video game ever released. Definitely the best representation in any videogame that was released in this generation that's for sure. So with that in mind, I'd say mage. At first of course.

Baka-akaB4014d ago

Yeah i wouldnt say it's in between . it's its own beast . People hve been "accusing" it of being a monster hunter variant , but even that is giving the game justice and describing it properly

gamedebater4014d ago

Are there any hybrids? I saw that the float spell is very useful when getting treasure.

andjudunno4014d ago

There's nothing better than making it back home after a long journey.

Nevers4014d ago

Really looking forward to this. Getting my first Online Ur-Dragon killshot last night got me hella pumped!!!

Ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's global release, the first iteration in the series by Capcom has been discounted by 84% on Steam.

If anyone is wondering the first one still holds up well to this day. It's fun

Grandia, Klonoa, and Parappa... NICE!

MrBaskerville155d ago (Edited 155d ago )

Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.

If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.

shinoff2183154d ago

It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.

LG_Fox_Brazil155d ago

GRANDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Fckn love that game

StormSnooper154d ago

Is it good? I never played that.

crazyCoconuts155d ago

Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.

MrBeatdown154d ago

Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.

Elda155d ago

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.

crazyCoconuts155d ago

Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.

Elda154d ago

I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Alternatives – 7 Top Games Like Baldur’s Gate 3

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.

anast279d ago

Some good games on that list.

FalcorMononoke279d ago (Edited 279d ago )

In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.

Becuzisaid279d ago

Are you including BG3 in that comparison? Or just the first 2? The first 2 are tough to get into now, and I never liked the ad&d rules. The 5e rules are much easier to grasp. But BG3 seems to be just DOS2 but times 10. Haven't played it in early access at all, just going by what I see online.

Nittdarko279d ago

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
