Despite all of the negativity, those who didn’t play the original title would be wise to plump for Dark Arisen; Dragon’s Dogma remains a wonderful game – doubly so at this bargain price point – and it is certainly the definitive version of the title for now. For those who did play it though, there’s very little to recommend buying all over again – what little new content there is only serves to draw the spotlight back on to the game’s weakest areas rather than the strongest, and whilst some performance and UI tweaks are welcome, they don’t even begin to touch on the bigger issues the game still bears, and they are certainly of no recompense for the much more immediately obvious squandering of potential.
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.
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.
It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.
Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.
Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
I'll pass on this and get the Super Enhanced Ultimate Arisen Edition in September.
A good game with a lot of promise to be had in expected sequels. The Dark Arisen expansion is lots of fun as well.
Great game. Only thing preventing me from playing it more is my backlog.
I haven't been this addicted to a game since Demon's/Dark Souls. I completely missed out on the original release, so Dark Arisen is a welcomed edition for folks like me. Really looking forward to the sequel.
This is a VERY good game that just falls short in a few areas that prevent it from being a great game, still doesn't change the fact that most will have a great time playing it.
It combines so many gameplay elements that should be in all action games/ TPS's, meaning it allows you to do the most basic movements that so many games in it's genre do not.
nothing worse while playing an "action" type game and you can't even jump/sprint/dodge/etc...
