NowGamer: "Has Capcom's promising ideas worked, or have they fallen flat? Find out in our Dragon's Dogma review."
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.
No way this game is worth a 6.
Game is awesome and the best rpg ive played in years! Im usually not much of an rpg fan, but this game is seriously excellent! Got it early and have been playing for hours. I also like the fact that you can level up your character faster. Great landscapes, gameplay and creative monsters!
Eh... the pawn system seems to me like an interesting idea but almost (not entirely, mind you) a watered-down version of Dragon Age: Origins or Knights of the Old Republic.
Obvious differences in gameplay and characterization don't need to be highlighted. There's appeal in the strategy of how you build characters and approach combat. Combat does seem fun (the demo was pretty decent) in DD, but...
It doesn't seem like they create characters out of the Pawns, no personality or real interest in their interactions with the main character or each other. Their endlessly repeating dialogue is nothing short of irritating, and playing the demo made me wonder if I'd be better off going solo in Demon's/Dark Souls style.
Doesn't sound like that's recommended in this or really an option. The Pawn system (support characters without personality) seems to be at the core of this game, and sad to say it doesn't really seem all that interesting.
