One of the best RPG games of all time.
Pros:
1- A huge map , the world is just too big and u cant get it all covered unless u spend 50-70 hours discovering.
2- A variety of mobs and bosses which are really well done , coz each of them got his own weakness which you have to expose and exploit it , not just hack n slash.
3- Amazing main quest which journey you across some awesome parts of the map with nicely done cut scenes and ALOT of enjoyable side quests.
4- Combat is amazing and as mentioned before not just mashing buttons , u have to think about he boss weakness to fire,lightning,poison or whatever and sometimes u have to climb it and expose the weak point from up there.
5- There's no fast travel of any kind till you are pretty far into the game and thats a good thing ofc ( if you dont like walking/running huge distances in RPG games then it's not your type).
Cons:
1- There's no direct multiplayer/co-op gameplay , you just have to hire some kinda shadow of the other players characters to assist you.
2- Low graphics compared by most of the RPG's i have played ( i only wrote this as a cons. coz i know some people like games with ultra graphics but i played skyrim and reckoning which had amazing graphics but i stopped playin both coz they were lagging on my ps3 like hell and heating it up so i just prefer a little lower graphics but a smooth and enjoyable gameplay ) so if it was up to me i could ve wrote this in pros.
3- few towns/capitals , there was alot of towns in skyrim but in dragon's dogma there's not much really which i hope they are gonna add in the sequel
4- No mounts , could have been just awesome if they added some mounts in the game or at least let u ride one of these griffons in NG+ or somethin coz walking/running across the world in NG+ and NG++ will get boring overtime.
5- fixed mob/boss loctions .Randomize monsters/bosses spawn locations , coz its kinda boring to find the same boss at the very same location everytime you want to kill.
6- limited classes , yes the game needs more classes to play if it had 3 or 4 more classes it could ve been just perfect.
