"With the possible sequel to Dragon's Dogma up in the air, it has to make us wonder what kind of changes we'd be seeing in future installments. For the first game in it's (possible) series, Dragon's Dogma really made me say 'Wow, this could become the next major Capcom hit.' Capcom recently reported an increase in revenue, owing much of their success to Dragon's Dogma which sold over 1 million units. With so much DLC being released, sales and revenue remained steady. If Capcom has any sense of what kind of appeal this game really had for so many gamers out there, they'd start working on the sequel (if they haven't already)"-Rantgaming.com
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.
I agree with mounts, and a bigger plot. As for multiplayer, I feel as though that might ruin the game depending on if your buddies could play as all jobs or not. Imagine a group of 4 Mystic Knights. That would defeat all challenge from the game except when facing enemies immune to magic.
As for customization, I'm personally fine with what's there already. The one thing I want the most is multiple character files. If we have to keep our pawns the same, fine. But we should be allowed to have more than one character to test out builds with.
The one thing missing on the list thats the most important... Actually making new games harder like in Demon's/Dark Souls. It got boring after a bit being able to drop every mob in one hit.
Your points are valid, but I'm certain Capcom has said multiple times that the game's "success" has earned it a sequel, and that they want to turn it into a series. It's not a possibility, it's a reality: there will be more Dragon's Dogma games.
A slightly larger world
Mounts
NG+ difficulty increase
MORE END GAME
Mounts, online co-op, change the colors of the equipment, being able to silence your pawns completely if you've heard that "Gran Soren is the beating heart of all Gransys" one too many times, more enemy types, no talking Dragons, let's be able to go under water next time ( the Bryne is a lazy way to create boundaries ) more varied environments/larger world and lighten up on all the escort missions.
