Worth playing for all RPG fans !
So i picked this up day one and went on a trip . Heres whats to like and what not to like.
With many acclaimed RPGs already on the market , its difficault to give a chance to all. But its innovation which needs to be apparent when regarding a crowded genre.
SO the positives.
+ A pawn system . Bit like dragon age, where you have companions with you, Here you can customize a pwan and then take them on the adventure with you. They can also be used by other players online, and you can use many pawns created by users. This gives advantage when going on quests and experiance is required.
+The action on this game is literally the best action in a RPG you will get . You have a wide range of classes from archery , warrior, assassin , mage . Each with skill set and moves. Which all advance and enhance as you get better.
Their is a deep system with variety.
+Boss battles , taking down large enemies such as ogres and cyclops, many other beasts, is fun and fresh. You can climb on their backs and take them down using magic or sword. The animations are brilliant in making this look realistic.
+day and night , each come with their own challenges. At night it becomes survival horror.Its very dark and night creatures will be on the prowl to take your team down.
+ the Large open world.
Its nice and open with variety.
now the negative and inital thoughts.
- The story.
Prior to this i played my fav RPGS , the open world skyrim , and the epic story telling of the MASS EFFECT series.
plus dragon age.
All these games have one thing in common.... They can tell a good story and have an engaging plot and characters.
This game seems to lack this.
The story seems interesting in terms of a dragon eats your heart and you the chosen arisen.
Then it goes bland, the characters dont seem exciting. And their seems to be a lack of information regarding the world gran souran[ the land you are in] where in Skyrim, mass effect , you are given heaps of information regarding the universe. different races myths and legends.
I cant say the same about dragons dogma. And kingdoms of amulur also suffers from this.
-Cliche/repetitive.
The problem is , that we have had dragons in skyrim. I just finish 60 hrs plus on skyrim. im tired of dragons.
i want something new.
But dragons dogma ,[hence name] seems to follow suit with the legend of dragons ect. I mean why not have something like A Giant titanic monster which can fly , or an invading army . something different.
At times it felt too much that this game was reading out of the Skyrim script. It may of also paid CAPCOM to release this game at another time.
-No fast travel.
50/50 on this one.
Many people like no fast travled while others are tearing their hair out of it not being their.
Their simply is no fast travel unless you buy the very expensive stones which can take you back to a location.
So its all on foot against enemies which will respawn. so you will be fighting against same foes , in the same area.
I for one dont mind no fast travel, BUT. they should have something in between , like maybe a location or area where you can fast travel , rather than the entire map.
But you will be forced to travel manually. And this can be frustrating at times. Just remember to save.
SOUND OF NPCS
THIS CAN be annoying.
your pawns will say the same crap time after time , when their is no need. But when they doo. its helpul. Thanks to the fact they will study their enemey and give you tips. Clever thinking.
FUNNIEST ASPECT OF THE GAME.
its Capcom who are famour for having locked on disk content and then charge you for it.
What made me shake my head in disbeleif was how CAPCOM on the start menu, throw DLC to purchase at your face.
it seems pretty desperate and quite cheap.
Closing thoughts.
i give this game 4/5 for its Action and gameplay. Overlook the bad, of story and blandness. And you will have quite an interesting adventure. But dont expect anything new , the missions arent all that amazing. But what keeps the game interesting and enjoyable is the action , levelling up and overall gameplay. If you like hardcore JRPG then you will overlook the faults. Its definetly worth trying out. But if like me you were expecting an epic tale to make your jaw drop .. then you will be slightly disapointed.
