Dragons Dogma is criminally underrated

The original game came out near the same time as skyrim, so a bunch of people missed it, but let me say one thing.

The game is incredible, in every single way except the story.

The gameplay is the best I have seen an open RPG have period, the bosses are huge, the game is HARD, the tactics are great, the diversity is amazing, it's FUN to play.

Try the game as a ranger, then try as a warrior, they play completely different.

Then play as a Sorcerer and your mind is gonna be BLOWN out of the water.

Seriously, I can't be more specific about sorcs in this game, It's the best mage in any game period, you make a huge difference.

WATCH THAT VIDEO.

PS - Would also like to mention the game has 60+ hours of gameplay and just released an expansion with another 20+ hrs on top of it.

I have to agree Dragon's Dogma is in the top 3 underrated games this gen if not the most underrated. Capcom get's mad props from me for trying to make a WRPG style game, it's not perfect but they did a hell of a job. Dragon's Dogma class system is actually pretty amazing, specially it's the first game I've played in awhile that gave me the choice of playing as a Mystic Knight (magic using knight).

Might have to check it out.

Haven't played it, but looks pretty standard to me, nothing worthwhile to capture my attention.

I agree. Im replaying it now and is excellent. The only issue i have is the no fast travel.........or no free fast travel. Everything else was great.navyguy21

Standard?

Pawn system = never been done before

Class system = Rare

Jumping on bosses backs = never been done since shadow of colosses

It's the oposite of standard

Angry Joe's review pretty much hits the nail on the head, it's a great game.

10 hours into the game is not really that large, the game is very big and has a ton of exploring to do. Adding fast travel 10 hrs in is smart more then anything. Enjoy the envoroment.

I dono maybe it's weird, maybe Dogma Dark arison added something new, because I went to the gran location (main city) went to the black market and could buy as many ferry stones as I wanted for dirt cheap, and you can teleport 2 any of the 3 main locations in the game

Kevin VanOrd put it as his top game of 2012.Blabadon

Wow he actually has taste for once.

I've only played a little bit of it. The combat is very fun but I'm not enjoying much else of it (exploration, item management, etc)

[QUOTE="vanadiel242424"] There is fast travel, in the main city you can buy ferry stones for 10k a pop, junk change.vanadiel242424

Fast travel problems aside (I don't mind it too much), it's a great game so I could overlook that.

how is coming out 6 months after skyrim considered "around the same time"? 

[QUOTE="vanadiel242424"]

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] The back tracking and fast travel is a problem for a large chunk of the game as you can only travel to one crystal (I think that's what they're called). Later on your can get more crystals (dozens of hours into the game that is).

Better than Skyrim.

Way better.

yeah it is. one of the best game of las year. Unfortunately I brought it day one and capcom won't release dark arisen as a stand alone

Dragon's dogma artsyle never caught my eye. Dragons and monsters were bad designed. Compared to the souls series or Dragon Age I thought they were meh

I actually tried the demo for this game, it came off as a console version of Monster Hunter sort of, i guess i would eventually play the full game itself

The lack of fast travel and respawning enemies killed it for me.

I was interested in it but didn't have a console to play it, but I did look up a lot of footage and stuff of it and it looks pretty cool. but suffers some design problems and the visuals can be pretty rough at times

made by crapcon with locked content on disk

is enough reason for me avoid it like the plague 

It's underrated because it's not the PC.

PC plz!

Loved what I played. The ridiculous travelling and backtracking was insane, though.

Really couldnt agree more, its the combat that sets it apart.  Fighting things is just much more fun then in skyrim or any other game in the genre.

You can get spells that help with that later on.

Yeah, I heard about them before. I need to pick it up, as I only borrowed it off my bro, initiall. Still, it was a major pain in the ass.

I believe it was underrated severely. From the very first battle against the snake, I was hooked. The fast travel and backtracking was a pain in the arse but I enjoyed my time in Gran Soren. Hoping there is a sequel!

Framerate is awful, no PC verion is really stupid of Capcom

Eh, looks alright but that travel system sounds like torture.

I would have bought it if they released it out on PC; since they never did, though, that's a lost sale for them.

I have a PS3, and I've seen the game played for a while. The game looks like ass on console and the game severely needs some tweaking of the HP system to be any fun; a lot of the fights look really tedious simply because of how much HP both you and the enemies have. Now if it were released on PC, I'd hop on board and find a way to mod the HP values of the game.
