Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Given that I'm still in the infancy of the plot (I just met the first Dragonguy and after I save the goblin-besieged fortress, I'll be meeting the Duke), I'm tentatively interested. My cousin has been making it sound like there's kind of a Shymalan twist or something after you kill the dragon.

 

Fuck man, sorry. Hope you hadn't read my post above.

Another thing I noticed that you'll only notice after a playthrough is how the random peasant dialogues match the overarching plot. Given that God sends an angel of destruction (the dragon) to test humanity's mettle, it is rather pertinent how most every single living human in the duchy seems to have given up on their lives the moment Grigori showed up. Everyone, from Cassardis to Gran Soren, is always talking about how it makes no sense to run away and etcetera

 

I did. It doesn't make any sense with the context I have now (though that may change).

 

It wonder make sense until it happens. Even then, not so much unless you're willing to fill quite a few gaps in your interpretation.

 

Who gives a shit about the story the combat is awesome bro.

The lore near the end-game and the overall sense of mystery that managed to give were indeed pretty cool.You had even the Seneschal being unaware of the nature of the various worlds/planes beyond the ones of humans and pawns and even the way planeswalking works here isn't explained step by step.Compare this to,say Planescape wich while more fleshed out explains a bit too much of its setting.

Even the dialogues seemed better written.

Was also intresting having story elements matching with gameplay(pawns getting revived/shaped by the Arisen/possessed by dragons/...).

What I liked even more though was how they expanded it in Dark Arisen adding some Ravenloft-like lore

 

Can't wait for a sequel, heck... even a well done PC port would make my day.

 

Frankly, I'd love a Dark Souls level port. That's how much I liked Dogma.

 

Double post but... I just googled 'Dragon's Dogma PC port' to see if anything was new on that front. Ran into a gamespot thread discussing about it and...

Just thought this would make someone's day a bit better.

 

It's THE most underrated game of this generation, it had absolutly no coverage from either mainstream media or anywhere else. Dark Arisen came out this year and you don't see it mentioned anywhere... it would easily top most Best RPG of 2013 lists.

 

Would not make gamebanshee's list

 

I do hope Capcom can make a good sequel.

 

Yeah, they'll probably vote for the Realms of Arkania remake...

 

Fuck Game Banshee. They can take a cactus and shove it up their ass.

 

I wonder if sea's suddenly feeling butthurt right now. For no particular reason, naturally.

 

SO, is there a point to leveling other classes? I have a fully leveled (in abilities) ranger and striker.

 

getting their augs and unless you are max lvl getting the final stats you actually want.

 

I think it's just mostly that nobody that writes for us has a PS3. I think Dragon's Dogma looks pretty cool but I am not buying a PS3 for it (or anything else)

 

Yeah, I noticed... no Demon's Souls, Dragon's Dogma, Valkyrie Chronicles, Disgaeas, Nier, Atelier series... there were some good RPGs in the PS3 that got almost no coverage in the Codex/Watch/Banshee...

 

The correct answer to that question is to conscript felipe as a voluntary.

 

Would be fun, but not sure if relevant at this point to make a review... more like a "10 PS3/Console RPG's Restrospective" or something. That is something that really should be done, not that the generation has "ended".

 

You guys could outsource some console rpg reviews, at this point i have played more "hardcore survival" rpg's on consoles than on pc's.

Even the codex could do something like the Blackguards preview, with various codexers talking about and examining several console rpg's in a sort of retrospective round table. Infinitron

 

We would probably hit the "Codex is for COMPUTER RPGs" motto, (vide butthurt around my Top 10 Console RPG list), but it's definitely something I would like to do.

 

It's free content, and i've yet to meet an editor that dislikes free shit to post as content.

 

Cool, so let's do this? We shall gather a selection of console popamoles connoisseurs and make a console retrospective? Should probably make PS3 only, the DS is worth a article on it's own...
