"Dragon’s Dogma is a game that’s wowed critics worldwide, sold well and most importantly given Capcom a competitive slice of the contemporary RPG cake to gorge on. But what is it about Dragon’s Dogma which makes it such an appealing title at this moment in time, faced with such stiff competition such as Max Payne 3, Ghost Recon: FS and Diablo III? Well, here goes our little assessment." - Explosion.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.
such an amazing game :D
I agree too. It is a true rpg. Finally I can level in an area, get strong, move on, come back and kick a$%. I don't have to worry about my world scaling with me making my leveling simply an exercise in getting new stuff. I love the party and the pawn system. Its a great feeling to go to an inn and see that someone has taken ur pawn out for awhile.
All in all, I'm loving it. Unfortunately, its summer & now I work 50 hours a week. I guess this fun will last awhile.
I'm loving it.... getting my ass kicked, beating Golems and using every last health herb I have only to still have to face off with a Griffin...
damn that Golem.
I just got the game two days ago and I love it so far. I bought the xbox version and there is screen tearing constantly. I should have got the ps3 version I think, but I still am really enjoying it.
