Dragon's Dogma

Anuxinamoon

Surprised no-one has posted this yet. It's like a monster hunter upgrade and it looks like it has a story (unlike monster hunter). Some really neat mechanics from different games rolled into one. Climbing on monsters SoTC style and destructible environments. Has a touch of Demons Souls to it.

The monsters are sexy. Especially hyramegasnake. That model is pure awesome.

Curse you for awesomeness capcom!!!

Wahlgren

daphz

ErichWK

Ya! Reminds me of a Demon Souls with the patented Capcom Silliness. Sold. A million times sold.

gauss

Holy hell that game looks epic.

Wahlgren

Man i hope there's multiplayer in this.

Also. Archer looks brilliantly awesome. Running and shooting at the same time like a super manly legolas is where it's at!

HonkyPunch

1 million times yes yes yes. I love Monster Hunter, capcom is one of my favorite companies and their story driven games rarely fail to entertain/provide their share of bizzare characters. I really do hope that this does, as wahlhgren said, have multiplayer.
It would be incredibly awesome to see your friend dangling from a flying dragon while you pump it full of arrows, and your other friend iss to the side chucking fire balls.
nghh

moose

yeah it looks amazing, just hope it isnt clunky, the anims for jumping onto things and camera cuts inbetween action feel really forced and could be disorienting/fun breaking. I see it more of a demons souls type game than monster hunter tho - but who knows wth it is Hopefully we'll get some more info at E3!!!

conte

Dragonborn!

haiddasalami

O man. Hoping more info on this drops in E3 and sad no pc

d1ver

Wow, this looks sooo amazing. I haven't been excited about a fantasy game for quite a while, but this has totally got me drooling.

from article:

Dragon's Dogma looks rough and plays about the same, or at least it did in the demo. The game is set for release in early 2012.

ouch, here's hoping it gets better!

xvampire

Monster hunter for grown UP!

Anuxinamoon

No multiplayer??? Boooooooo!
Oh well still looks kick ass though!

stevenest

I love the snakes they look so real and awesome!

Cant wait!!!!!!!!

ErichWK

I am SO excited for this game! Reminds me of Skyrim mixed with Monster Hunter. I hear Capcom has been putting a TON of resources into this game.

Two Listen

No PC release makes me sad.

moose

Excitedddddd!!

cholden

That ten min video is super cool. Here's wishing for a PC release.

OrganizedChaos

Edit: WHOOPS I feel stupid- I thought it was coming out tomorrow. Heh. Well... time to wait a month :P

Delega

I'm excited for the berserk DLC for this Ive read about

Just gotta find some money to buy it now!

Habboi

This is the sort of game that I feel would greatly benefit with some form of co-op. I have a friend coming round today and this is the kind of game we'd lash up and play together.

I'll still probably get it cause I like the idea of dangerous exploration and the porn (pawn) system.

Scruples

Wait, the Berserk DLC wasn't just a rumor?! *starts drooling*

Habboi

So demo be out. I'll be getting it later today but what does everyone else think? The celebs people have made so far are amusing

http://kotaku.com/5904936/from-god-of-war-to-the-king-of-pop-heres-dragons-dogmas-character-creator/gallery/1

So I tried it out (PS3) and I have to say the fighting is fun and very unforgiving but the more times I tried, the better I got. I love rogue classes so I went for that and it's just my style, fast with long range bow.

The framerates...are quite poor on PS3 but it's something I've come to accept with PS3 games. I'd guess it was running 19fps in the prologue and 24 in the open fields. Early build...yeah I know but I've heard that excuse before.

Anyway give it a go. I just wish the demo had more exploration as that seems to be the main driving force. What was wrong with adding just one question from point A to B.

moose

played through the quests on the demo at least 4 times now... fucking... love it.

All my misgivings of it being unresponsive or odd are gone, feels really slick. My only complaint is dat hud... but thankfully you can turn off everything (pawn subtitles, cinematic events, controller button help), and its starts feeling really cool.

Groaned a few times at the demon/dark souls "vibe" riffing, but whatever.

it feels essentially like Monster Hunter + Demons/Dark Souls.... so awesome. Can't wait to play as specific classes, the magic users seem fun. The ranger class in the gryphon fight is really fun, like the choices of bow vs daggers. The prologue quest character was kinda meh, bland. I wanted to skin the things i killed too, I dont think that'll be in the full game, but it just screams to let me pluck the gryphon feathers or cut off its beak.

its going to be a hard choice to play either Diablo 3 or this... ffffffffffffuuuuuu

Slum

Oooh, there's a demo now? I will have to check it out.

Irreal

So, I've checked the demo out and...... some questionable design decisions The interface is a real mess for a start and good luck trying to figure out what's actually happening during combat. Bah, the Japanese seem to be about 5 years behind current game design. They very occasionally get it right as in Dark Souls, Persona, FF13-2. It's old school only because they can't think of anything better to do. Trying way too hard to pander to a western audience yet remaining stuck firmly in the past. I may still actually get this though as I've been looking forward to it for ages and the mish-mash of east and west might actually bring me some joy.

Irreal

Bah, that video made it look awesome. Lemme give the demo another shot before you incinerate me.

Turn the HUD off, the cinematic events, and on screen buttons off in the main menu options. Makes it 10000x better.

Irreal

I was completely incorrect with my first statement . I've played the demo through probably 5-6 times now and it's completely aweseome. Once the combat clicked and I realised you could climb onto the bosses. You can even create a character whose eyes are both shut! Epic!

BoBo_the_seal

Love the demo. Can't wait to play the full game.

God damnit man!!! I knew it!! I remember saying, I bet moose will play this demo before I do, i bet heel write something that will make me quit what im doing right now, to play it.

Well mission accomplished man, I'm going!!!

Anuxinamoon

C'mon Moose, you could just play both Dragons Dogma and Diablo 3... at the same time!!!

chrisradsby

Seems awesome ! I watched the night Ogre footage on Youtube and it is AWESOME. Can't wait to play this game!

Isaiah Sherman

Played it and thought it was kind of neat, nothing world-shattering. The boss fights got painfully boring, though, as they have of a lot of health and it gets to the point where you just mash your attack button nonstop for about 10 minutes.

Slum

Played the demo. Was soooo good.

BoBo_the_seal

As with jumping (I hate it when a game doesn’t let me jump)... all games should just adopt the ability to jump on/hang onto creatures. That was my favorite part of the Gryphon fight

ErichWK

I really enjoy the over the topness feel of the game! Reminds me of Monster Hunter in some ways. I feel like this game is sort of Capcom's way of trying to get the west to finally play a Monster Hunter type game. . . and i think it might work! I think it's interesting you can make children. I made my character to look like Aria Stark, and my companion into Jorah mormont.

BoBo_the_seal

HAHA I made my characters children too.

HonkyPunch

I'm going to get it because I love Monster Hunter.

You can make children, you say? I think I'm going to make a 10 year old barbarian, who harnesses his pre-pubescent rage. Sounds fun!

Neuropozyne

is the game out or will it be soon?
