Dragon's Dogma Review | DualShockers

The story of Dragon’s Dogma begins with a very oddly well-spoken dragon who decides to stick its fingernail into your chest and eat your heart like it’s made of Tic-Tacs.

I'd rate Dragon's Dogma higher but this is a fair review.

The post game sections are absolutely nuts. They kick the game up about ten gears. All i'll say is Chamber of Fate, what a bitch.

I'm currently playing through NG+ and being a lot more thorough. I missed quests (and failed some) on my intial playthrough. I didn't get into the Dukes Manse first time round. I tried on NG+ to play as a fighter with my pawn Olivia as a Strider, but I hate not having a bow myself so I changed back to an assassin with my pawn as a mage. My set up is assassin, mage, mage, warrior.

7.5 instead of an 8 was because the Pawns utter lack personality. Even 'developed' ways on how they should act and speak didn't feel like anything unique to what you did with them. Wasn't sure how this could be corrected though, considering the Pawns are meant to be disposable.

Pintheshadows4338d ago

That didn't really bother me that much to be honest, possibly as I hired and fired alot of pawns with different voices, look, demeanours etc. Did you try going to the pawn in the encampment tent? He'll sell you potions that drastically change how your pawn acts.

My biggest issue with Dragon's Dogma was the dialogue and lipsyncing. Although some of the dialogue was ok, some was comical.

I mention in the review how bad the lipsync was too. It was very obvious in bad ways.

Dragon's Dogma Is Still Amazing

Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.

A lot of the quest lines in Skyrim are good(not all and they don’t add up as a whole if you do thieves guild mage fighters guild etc) The dragons are very lame after the first few times and the combat is clunky as it always has been. The stupid sprint button is ridiculous.

Overall I agree DD is the better rpg game.

Both have theirs strengths and weaknesses but Skyrim should be so much more being the 5th game in Elder Scrolls series.

Excited to see what they add on to DD 2.

Unfortunately all they have done to Elder Scrolls since Morrowind is take things out (minus the sprint button which is so lame because you can kill dragon god like creatures but can’t run for more than ten seconds without getting tired)

I liked the vampire questline and the return to Morrowind was okay, but the problem with Skyrim was the lack of consequence. There is almost no point in the quests. After I realized this, I started messing around with the mods and then quit playing. Though, I did spend 300 hrs. on modded content, but this is telling of how bad the game kind of is.

If DD was the size or close to the size of Skyrim, It would have been the primer fantasy game back then. I hope they up the size with DD2.

5 Games To Play While Waiting For Dragon's Dogma II

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.

gold_drake95d ago

cant wait for it, feb and march are busy busy months ha.

SovereignSnaKe95d ago

I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.

MrNinosan95d ago

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.

DivineHand12595d ago

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.
