"Dragon's Dogma Online sounded sketchy its the free-to-play scheme and microtransactions angle. But I'll give anything a shot once, and who knows -- maybe it could have been great, right?
Well we probably won't get the chance to find out, as Capcom has informed Eurogamer "there are no plans to release [the game] in the west." Well, that's a bummer. It would have been an easy sell to download for free on the PS4, much less a PS3 or PC."
Today Capcom made a surprise announcement related to its online RPG Dragon’s Dogma Online, and it isn’t good news.
Dragons Dogma Online was BS money grab idea from capcom ....og Dragon s Dogma was a superb SP game with asychronous online feature (pawn system was genuine , innovative ,clever and didnt spoil at all the SP experience to the contrary it augmented it)) and that s how should have stayed ....i hope for a Dragons Dogma 2 SP only !! (with pawn online features offcourse
Could we please get a damn sequel? I’m grateful for a minimalistic updated port that we got this gen, but ffs I miss when we would get sequels to games and not just a port of a game from last gen.
They were going to, but instead made a new DMC. Now that that game is out of the way, maybe they will. Here's hoping it'll be next-gen.
When I first heard of that I was sad, but then I realized DD2 should be next Gen and hopefully it'll at least have a better way of getting around than just running through the same areas repeatedly. That's the only complain I have of the game.
Such a shame and such a waste. This game could have had significantly longer lifespan if they would have decided to localize it in the west. Surely folks at Capcom were aware of the huge demand for the western version.
Hopefully this game serves it's purpose to make a great proper sequel to the series.
The thing is, most MMOs are designed in a way that would be painfully boring in a world by yourself. It would likely not be worth the effort to bother as it would be dead on arrival.
A true SP sequel actually designed for solo play however...don't you think that would be much more worth while?
It doesn't look like Dragon's Dogma Online will ever launch in Western countries as CAPCOM implements cost control measures.
Dragon's Dogma Online director Kento Kinoshita recently revealed that he'd like to consider a Western release for the game in the future
You'll probably be waiting till fall 2017 the earliest. Now if they just removed the region locking, we could try it out already.
Solid foundation? That sounds like it could mean a long time before we get see that game out west.
I know everyone hates remasters or remakes but I wish they would do one for DD that came out last gen. Or at least port the one they made for PC. I would be in heaven. Come on Capcom!! Make it happen!! If not, then please make a sequel. Even though this game may be good, its not what I want. Dragon's Dogma remake or DD2 please. Thanks
That makes no sense
The game was clearly designed for the western audience with its traditional medieval setting and monsters, yet we won't get it -__-
Ugh, Capcom is so damn frustrating to deal with. Don't even know why I bother anymore. They parade Deep Down around to the Western Audience at Playstation 4 Events delay it indefinitely and begin saying they still aren't sure about a Western release.
Then news starts floating around about Dragon's Dogma Online...Sony console exclusivity and PC release and I figure oh well even though they say it's F2P I'll still try it out. I can deal, I barely buy DLC anyway...turns out it's not coming to America.
Yuck.
O capcom ._.Right up there with square enix
Seriously, who's running Capcom? Who makes these decisions? Are they trying to piss off gamers and bankrupt themselves?
I'll try it through my Japanese account when it comes out.
If you have an exclusivity deal, why wouldn't you want it to pay off by giving the product the wider consumer audience by releasing it in the biggest or second biggest market, which is the West(America really)? Sony never makes any sense with their business decisions.
