Lazygamer: "This game tried to do too many things, resulting in a lot of them being done poorly. It isn’t a story-less kill everything game with great fluid combat. It isn’t a rousing plot-driven quest that motivates you to explore more, to kill more. No, it is a clunky, empty mess of half-developed ideas with no polish."
Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.
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.
I personally think this reviewer is full of crap.
"combat is a clunky affair"
you sir are doing it wrong then
Combat is clunky? You nuts?
DD isn't perfect, but it's a risk they've taken. One which I hope pays off so more can go into a better, polished, sequel. This review is a joke.
Most of the poor reviews regarding DD, seem to come from people who want to blame the game, for not playing it right.
Another site I can ignore from now on, because their taste in games is clearly nothing like mine. Dragon's Dogma has it's flaws, but it's also some of the most fun I've had this generation. Clunky combat... that has to be a joke.
OMFG!
