Dragon's Dogma is one hell of a cool game once you've sunk many hours into the large open world of Gransys, and yet despite mostly favourable reviews from the gaming press, as a new IP for Capcom it has been a hard sell.
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.
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.
How much did the game sell worldwide though?
Also, there is no PC version. This game would have been gorgeous on a decent PC. On the Xbox it has some graphical hiccups like very noticeable screen tearing. I would much rather own it on PC, and I think Capcom missed a lot of market share by not releasing a PC version.
Well if it hasn't been good they will certainly be getting another customer. Too many of the reviewers and players had me think about getting it and now I want it! Not sure how many bought it but overall I think Capcom should be pleased with how the game has favored reception wise.
Maybe people are wary of Capcom? I know I am.
Hey, this is Capcom. Dragon's Dogma may be a good game, but I believe most people, including me, are waiting to see how things evolve in DLC and ultimate collection terms...
Once the complete edition rolls in, the game will sell better.
