Dragon's Dogma

[Mortmal]

And yet again i spoil the holy rpg forum with a console game as apprently its only on xbox360/ps3 so far by former resident evil 4 developper. Another action rpg, good looking one with complete character customization, you can even choose the degree of masculinity , or feminity of your character, see they cater to a very important codexer's need.
Ah well a trailer is better than a long explanation:

Now if someone is fluent in japanese and could tell me whats all this text on their site is about....Id like to know how this will compare to dark souls.

Dragons.

Dragons everywhere.

Yes, BUT this game is made by the Japanese AND they call it Action Adventure and not Action RPG (which means this should be in GG and not GRPG).

The game sounds good though

For example, the main character can either grab on to a giant griffon's legs and attack it directly, or climb up to reach the top of its head for a more lethal blow. "In a lot of action games, with big enemies the tendency is just to have you hacking away at the shins. You don't get the full effect of fighting a giant boss," Itsuno, the director of Dragon's Dogma says. "With this game you can climb all over it. If it has a body part, you can attack it." The ability to climb enemies has drawn comparisons to Shadow of the Colossus.

Some RPG developers don't like to call their games an RPG because they think they'll sell more if they don't. If it has a character system it's an RPG. It's hard to tell if it does from that site though. I see classes, which is a good sign, but that's about all.

Sounds interesting, even though... dragons, ugh.

They said that they would consider a PC port if there are enough people who want to see it happen.

Dragon Dogma looks like the Japanese answer to Oblivion.

Only that this time it *might* have a chance of being good.
