Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

[Jasede]

I found it boring pretty quick but it's good fun for a while and not too long.

 

[Raghar]

Where is PC version?

So, what's the Kodex Konsensus on this one? Been thinking about grabbing a used copy for the PS3 (and help kill the industry), should I?

Second demo is pretty fun. Been waiting for 20 used/30 new for the full game.

Game came Saturday, pretty fun so far.

My intial feeling it was closer to Gothic than TES wound up not very far off with the limited number of towns seperated by roads that are mostly safe, that if you wander off of early on you WILL get mauled. That said, I feel I have met most of the foe types that show up in random encounters, and even the "boss" monsters die quick enough, so I have to agree with the sentiment that difficulty drops hard around level 30.

One interesting fight I just had was where I had to beat up a golem with my bare hands (Rip and tear!) because I decided to raise my class level in fighter (for the augment that increased carry capacity) and carried an enchanted sword because the enchanted part scales with my magic (golems are immune to magic damage and resist slashing) when I encountered it.

Any codexers willing to rent my loli? She has naught but a single only one rent by a (real life) firend and she's a level 34 sorcerer right now. My PSN is same as user name here.

Sure I guess, but my pawn is higher level.

Anyway seems like the shield counters were kinda lame to the obvious combination of the group element enhancements plus ruinous sigil and magick cannon spamming.

Speaking of sorcerers what's the best way to use them? because I honestly prefer the mage over them because of the supportive spells they get over the nukier spells with long windup times.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Best way to use a Sorc is to level them for Acuity and Articulacy and then pick a better vocation. By the time a Sorcerer has finished casting a spell the fight is usually over.

 

[deuxhero]

I never had a problem with Sorc cast speeds to be honest, possibly because I'm also playing a loli-sorcerer and get increased casting times from the spell mirroring and use them to make the first strike in combat.

Hard mode is out, and disappointingly, all it does is increase damage to the player and stamina consumption.

I just restarted the game with the hard mode dlc and got killed twice by bats.
Other than that it regains part of the challange later on at least.

Capcom is porting Resident Evil 6, a game they explicitly stated was a big failure.

"They will release the PC port when they release the expansion" is the ONLY rational explanation for this (admittedly Capcom isn't rational).

 

[Hobo Elf]

A game no one wanted is getting a PC port, but they won't port Dragon's Dogma despite the fact that there are tons of people who want to play it on the PC? Crapcom never changes.

The expansion will have a new song, but what really interesting to take away from this article is the release date for the single/album it's on (can't tell) is due Spring 2013, our first hint at a release date beyond "2013".

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Dragon's Dogma = Crappy Third-person Oblivion clone with shitty graphics, shitty weaboo writing and unremarkable setting. Why does the hivemind want a PC port to such a travesty?

 

[deuxhero]

It's more Gothic and Monster Hunter with a pinch of SotC than TES.

 

[Stabwound]

I want this game, but I'm not likely to buy a console ever again. Not that I'd even remove it from an inventory, but they're pretty dumb not to port it to PC. Look at Dark Souls; they did a horrific job and it apparently sold well enough that they're releasing the next game on PC at launch.

Oh well, at least we get Resident Evil 6.

 

[deuxhero]

Capcom Europe confirmed, then quickly denied, a PC port was coming. Get annoyed when it isn't so transparently coming.

You are the guy that buys shitty pc akshun games,your opinion doesn't matter.

Waiting for this to hit bargain bin prices. A PC port would be even better, but I'll snag a PS3 version for the GF to try out too. Is it worth 29.99?

i would say yes. Games like these are rare gems that should be rewarded.

 

[Jasede]

Good luck with that, some console games go down in price only very reluctantly / never.

 

[deuxhero]

I don't think console games EVER get under $20 new consistently, at least not this gen, even YEARS after they came out.

 

[flabbyjack]

waiting until they finish NPC voice spam and fast travel before I buy this. The patch notes seem pretty weak, such as 'Removed the infinite supply of carrots for sale'. Anyone know if they fixed these two points yet?

Did Capcom ever give a reason why there's no PC port, especially after Dark Souls got ported? I can only assume it has something to do with the Pawn system.
