Diehard GameFAN:Ten Thoughts On… the Dragon’s Dogma Demo

DHGF: I honestly didn’t know too much or care a whole lot about Dragon’s Dogma during its initial announcement. It’s not that it looked like a bad game or anything like that, I just figured it would be some kind of low budget Skyrim knockoff and moved on with my day. It wasn’t until my brother called my attention to it and insisted that I look into it more that I paid attention. The moment he name dropped Berserk, my ears perked up. Sure enough, in one of the most obscure crossovers ever, it was confirmed (for the Japanese release, at least) that there would be Berserk themed armor sets that would be released as DLC. Seeing as how new Berserk films will be coming out this year in English, my hopes are that this DLC would be seen as the perfect promotion for that event, though I’m getting way off track. I’m something of a Berserk fan as you might have guessed.

So, back to the game. Now that Capcom has released a demo for this title for both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3, I fe...

For me, I wanted to hate the game just because it's Capcom... However, after giving the demo a chance, I too fell in love.

Looking more like a day one purchase every time I read something about this game

Like you, I never really followed the game until recently, and now I have to say, I am IMMENSELY looking forward to it. Drooling, in fact.

And the thing about the Berserk DLC is really cool as well. I don't personally read it, but I have wanted to. And if there's a movie coming out, I may just give that a go. ^_^

From what you described, the combat (sans grappling) sounds incredibly similar to Monster Hunter, another Capcom series. I really love those games, so that just makes this game all the more drool-worthy for me.
