I'm pretty sure porting their old games is the only thing propping up Capcom at this point.

Heck yeah, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is getting a PS4 release according to Famitsu. Maybe now consoles can get a 1080p/60fps version like the PC release! Always appreciate another opportunity to buy Dragon's Dogma.

Are they going to put "Into Free" back into the title?

They aren't even very good at doing that. Where's a Megaman X collection on a current console? or 9 and 10 on the PS4 for that matter.

You can literally be an anime in it.

Dragon's Dogma is kind of like an open world version of PSO except your allies are AI who never shut up.

Dragon's Dogma is a Japanese developer's take on a Western fantasy game. The result is a hack-and-slash RPG with more in-depth combat and a setting and plot that's painfully prosaic until the final act, where the game jumps on the table with axe in hand and transmogrifies into a heavy metal album cover.

That's a pretty good summary of it. Also you can romance anyone and you probably will by mistake.

No other game has made me feel the way dragons dogma did. Tooling up to go on a journey to a new location, waiting till morning, heading out and hoping I'd make it there before nightfall... And inevitably getting held up, and some horiffic 50ft tall thing coming at me in the dead of night. Climbing up it's back and all over it like a budget shadow of the collosus to jam a sword into it's eye, and the battle lasting till sunrise. Magic was loving great too, felt meaty and incredibly powerful.
I reckon I'm in day 1, it's such an incredible game.

There's like 3 merchants and a married woman who are most likely to be your soulmate depending onbwhat order you do sidequests, if you do sidequests.

Dragon's Dogma is definitely worth playing even though it always falls just a little short of what I want it to be. The worst thing I really want to say about it is that it is frustratingly a B.

Rumor is there's a megaman legacy collection 2 in the works. Could be mega man 7-10 and x or something.

Absolutely. I loved the journey to the far east to that griffon's tower and you're in the canyon, the sun's setting, the goblins are out, you're desperately trying to get to the tower before nightfall but it's too late and now you're fighting these little bastards in the dark. Dragon's Dogma feels like an adventure.

The song from the original game, sadly not in Dark Arisen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZNbabKjKpA

Everyone had the same reaction
first play session: why is this song even in this game
every other play session for 100+ hours: FLYING INTO FREEEEE

edit: this talk reminds me of how boring DD Online is. I guess same as Elder Scrolls Online, they didn't know how to make a game where you do whatever you want with the world fun for multiple players.

I would absolutely buy a Dragon's Doctrine or whatever the gently caress that went forward with all the good deltas Dark Arisen made on the original (less punishing fast travel, more spooky dungeon crawling). In a second.

Especially since Dark Arisen pretty much did that with patches, while (hopefully) 2 Dragon 2 Dogma would just have them built in.

I always lost interest in DD because of lugging around some shouty, stupid Pawns or whatever they were. Never felt like I was in control of them so any tactics I developed came down to running around like a madman, hoping the enemy will stop hitting me long enough for the AI to kill them back.

I don't think I will ever replay DD but I had a great time with it. I played as Geralt and had his dwarf buddy as a pawn. Good times.

Only problem was Geralt hooking up with the very young-looking pawn girl... I had no idea what the aura meant, honest!

the best part about that song is that it starts off super generic so you don't know what you're in for. then it changes to buttrock just before you can skip past it and it's amazing

Well that is literally what it is: a western style RPG made by the director of DMC 2/3/4.

For me it didn't quite live up to the goon hype and I only had enough interest to get to the end of the initial campaign. However it does have a huge world and combat is really fun with a ton of options (though at the same time a little basic).

I mean, don't take the hype the wrong way: dragon's dogma is an incredibly flawed game. the core of it, the idea of it, is incredibly good and cool. the execution falls short of what it could be tho

if the whole story was as batshit insane as the last few hours, it'd be one of my favorite games period. the period between killing the hydra and the dragon showing up (which is like 75% of the game) might as well not exist tho

Say, do you know how to do the walk?
Dragon's Dogma is really punishing when you first start out, and then you pass a threshold and you're able to easily kill almost everything in the game until the post game, and then you pass another threshold and you can kill anything pretty easily.

But the dungeon they added for Dark Arisen, I pretty much cheesed it because no matter what level you are there are a ton of things in there that can kill you in like two hits while it takes you forever to do damage to them. Plus it recycles a bunch of rooms.

Also, there was an area in the game that I never knew existed until hours after I had already beaten the game and was just messing around.
