Dragon's Dogma Review: Heartache every moment | Joystiq

Joystiq:

I have slain a dragon. I have walked the coasts of this land more times than I can count, treading upon the lives of creatures most foul. I have felled the beasts of the forest with arrows and steel and pillaged their leavings for aught. I have died, thousands of times, as have those who have adventured with me. And, in the end, I think back on almost none of it with fondness, or the nostalgic recollection given to hard fought, hard won battles. I am no hero. 2/5

I think this is the lowest score I've seen for this game yet. Surprising, but I tend to value joystiq reviews over most others.

[Emilio_Estevez]

I was quite surprised by it as well, Joystiq usually is spot on and they expressed a lot of displeasure with the flaws of the game.

Joystiq does have a couple of picky reviewers. I'm getting this though as I really enjoyed the demo.

[Nunchez]

What a 2? No way the demo was really good I'd give it a 4 just off the demo.

RIP Capcom...
MAybe Dragon's Dogma 2 will be better. Even the IGN review wasn't that great and it got a 7.5 - not that its bad, just I expected a bettter score.

it certainly sounds like he was forced to play the game, because it is job.
