GDC Impressions - Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Due out on April 23 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. That might sound like the sequel to last year's RPG Dragon's Dogma, but it isn't. It's technically an expansion, though it's an expansion so large that Capcom couldn't go the usual DLC route. Instead, the company decided to release it as a $40 retail disk complete with the original game for anybody who needs it.

$40 for 15-20 hours more of gameplay sounds like a good deal to me. Plus, if you've never played the game, it gets even better.

Hanso4035d ago

yup i skipped the first game because i know capcom likes to release a gold/ultimate version later
cant wait for the super duper ultimate edition now XD
And its only 28€ here where i live :)

It would feel much more appealing to me if they could add level scaling - especially on new game plus. Without this feature, I guess it will feel appealing enought when it's price drops to something around 20 bucks.

nthstew4035d ago

just don't be that optimistic ....

bluetoto4033d ago

level scaling would ruin this game as with any game that adds/have it. not everyone wants to spend hours of grinding only to have the same enemies scale up with you.

it does not increase the challenge, only the length of the battle and who in their right mind wants to spend 30 minutes fighting the same enemy that you already know how to beat?

you could always just buy a game that you enjoy that has this lame feature like skyrim.

If anyone is wondering the first one still holds up well to this day. It's fun

Grandia, Klonoa, and Parappa... NICE!

MrBaskerville159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.

If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.

shinoff2183158d ago

It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.

LG_Fox_Brazil159d ago

GRANDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Fckn love that game

StormSnooper158d ago

Is it good? I never played that.

crazyCoconuts159d ago

Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.

MrBeatdown158d ago

Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.

Elda159d ago

Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.

crazyCoconuts159d ago

Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.

Elda159d ago

I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Alternatives – 7 Top Games Like Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate is a name synonymous with party-based fantasy RPG games. There’s still a stretch of time until the third instalment finally leaves early access. While you’re waiting for the gates to open and welcome you to Forgotten Realms, you might be looking for similar games to ease the wait.

anast284d ago

Some good games on that list.

FalcorMononoke284d ago (Edited 284d ago )

In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.

Becuzisaid284d ago

Are you including BG3 in that comparison? Or just the first 2? The first 2 are tough to get into now, and I never liked the ad&d rules. The 5e rules are much easier to grasp. But BG3 seems to be just DOS2 but times 10. Haven't played it in early access at all, just going by what I see online.

Nittdarko284d ago

hilarious because the game that is most like BG3 and a game every DND fan should try is Solasta and its not even on this list
