Darkstation - Let me get one thing clear: Monster Hunter is one of my favourite game franchises. No role playing game has come close, in my opinion, to it’s depth in a combat system or the knowledge that needs to be obtained before you can win. Knowing yourself, is just as important as knowing your enemy. Dragon’s Dogma tries very hard to be Monster Hunter and these aspects can be seen within, but it ends up aiming for a more mainstream audience. It has a proper story for one. For two, it has an open world, which is what the kids are into these days, right?
Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.
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.
I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.
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.
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.
Dragon’s Dogma achieved its highest concurrent player count in over six years over the weekend.
Excellent game spoilt by grindy combat and no fastbtravel the stones travel system was rubbish
I'm doing my part to contribute to this. Found out my pawn had been a busy bee while I was away.
when i found this game i loved it and played the hell out of it, got to the demon in the expansion and after feeling pretty good at the game he wiped the floor with me, fatigue set in, but i need to get back into this i think, looking forward to 2 for sure.
I'd almost accept a single image in place of a review, but at least make the image come from the game you're reviewing. Hehe. Back in the late 90's I was more on the Monster Rancher side of things as opposed to Monster Hunter.
Is this the a link to a JPEG? I have to disagree with a 6 though I'd like to read why. I am having more fun than I did with skyrim. Is it as expansive or gorgeous? No. But, it stays truer to RPG elements, IMO. The world doesn't level. The cap is 200. There's endgame content, a brilliant party system. The combat is better. The enemies are better. And I am glad it doesn't have a fast travel at the beginning. There are many improvements to be made but if it's only the beginning, and it's a Calvin game so I am sure it is, I am happy.
His overall statement describes Skyrim perfectly. Is he actually reviewing skyrim in this?
i dont like this game, trying to sell on ebay for 75% price that i payed and no one is buying :(
