Capcom’s Sorry Dark Arisen Is A Full Game, But Dragon Dogma Owners Will Get Stuff

Gamesta.com reports on Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. The expansion will not be available without the full game, despite attempts to make it so for original owners. Capcom said they're sorry, but they want consumers to know they've packed in some goodies for those that already own the original Dragon's Dogma.

i smell a lie here...

Or just Capcom Standard Operating Procedure...

@Viper7:
No. Mean that they've been doing this since the arcade days with Street Fighter II: Hyper/ultra/mega/SD/Super edition. Megaman Network for the gameboy was literally being shoved out on a monthly basis.

It doesn't matter that the industry in general has adopted DLC as a method to prolong a single game's life, Capcom will

:D McGee Urban Dictionary to the rescue

Yeah, the do this with pretty much every monster hunter game.

"Capcom’s Sorry Dark Arisen Is A Full Game, But Dragon Dogma Owners Will Get Stuff"

What?

[iamnsuperman]

I agree something smells fishy here but I guess they are giving content to those affected (I haven't played Dragon's Dogma so I have no idea if it is useful)

[Daavpuke]

I think it's more a justification than anything else. Perhaps they could've just called it a GOTY edition or something, but then people would still ask for the exclusive content to be available separately. Sucks people that own Dragon's Dogma are basically paying for additional currency and stuff, but it's something, I guess.

Yeah me aswell....it's easy to say sorry

I dont care , DG is the one capcom game that is worth going through their shenanigans

[Servbot]

I have to strongly disagree here. I really enjoyed Dragon's Dogma, but Capcom asking $40 for what will more than likely amount to $10 worth of DLC is ludicrous. People like us who supported this new IP are getting blatantly ripped off. I won't tell you not to buy it, but I hope you realize that you're encouraging them to do the same thing for future releases.

[Godmars290]

Except they keep doing crap like this, because gamers such as yourself give them a pass on occasion.

[MagneticDeath]

Game looked real cool but never got around to getting it so I will be picking it up, sucks for those who already bought the game at launch. Way to screw the people who supported your new IP.

gotta love capcom

[yewles1]

AGAIN???????????

[Kamikaze135]

As much as I love Dragon's Dogma and as much as I absolutely want this, I'm not buying this crap. I'm not going to support Capcom's stupid habits. They finally give us DLC that's not on the disc and decide to charge us that much for it? Unbelievable.

And if it sells poorly, they blame only the fans. Because clearly their decisions aren't flawed in any way.

[aPerson]

This is exactly why I didn't buy the original version of the game. I knew this was going to happen eventually.

[Bumpmapping]

Wow what a pile of scumbags couldn't even bother releasing the expansion separate for the people who already bought this game?Worst than Activision now that's scummy!
