It's ridiculous how much this game has ensnared me- I've put an ungodly amount of hours way too quickly in this game. Holy poo poo it is so good. This is easily, EASILY GOTY for me. Now that they have the general system developed I absolutely cannot wait to see what they do with the setting because if they end up creating a true full scale RPG and not like a Fable-style RPG (in regards to roleplaying/reactivity of the story/the size of the setting) then Capcom will pretty much forever hold the gold standard for RPGs. I've switched between Strider, Ranger, Magic Archer, Fighter and Warrior and so far every single class has been insanely different in how they play. The way you have to approach fights changes so drastically depending on so many factors, and combat feels so goddamn good.. It makes every single other "open action RPG" seem like jokes- and the straight action games even moreso. Despite being well into my New Game+ I've still missed out a bunch of things apparently, including a bunch of optional areas/dungeons -and- bosses(?). I'm really wondering how sidestories/quests work since there appears to be some semblence of choice. how (ending spoilers)the "most valuable person" is decided for it alongside what happens if you pick the rear end in a top hat options. Even the simple design of having a constant autosave and one save slot makes decisions seem so much more important/gives actions a lot of weight. Capcom is weird as gently caress. They produce garbage like SFXT and then throw out this near-masterpiece with nearly no advertising. I really, REALLY hope this game becomes a success because it's just so obscenely good in all the right areas. edit: For Magic Archers, try using the Vortex Arrow combined with the Shadow Hold dagger spell. The vortex is incredibly strong and will drag literally every type of enemy other than giants into it. You don't have to fire it at an enemy either, and can just pin it onto a spot on the ground where you've put down the spell. It lets your party go bananas on groups of rough enemies and makes up for the lackluster damage of the class (outside of specific exceptions, where the magic archer does ridiculous monster damage) Like every class there's vastly different ways to play them but that's what I used for my endgame where I had to rely heavily on my party to dish out all the damage.

The core system of the game is so incredibly good that the game's pretty much leading up to a potential masterpiece. However, the lack of world content/incentive to explore and quests hurt the game a lot... Luckily, since the core is so good the game can go multiple directions as to improve upon it- whether it's a hardcore dungeon crawler or a better open-world RPG. If Capcom could team up with a team that had a great sense of building up a world (or go the straight dungeon-crawler route which would make the combat system even more important in sense of the small details in terms of long-term survival.) the sequel would seriously be a true masterpiece of the RPG/action genre.

Kilometers Davis posted:Also, anyone care to post your "and then Dragon's Dogma really clicked with me moment"? Having my lantern go out while in a cave fighting lizardmen due to crossing a stream of water that was falling from the ceiling. Since none of my pawns had lanterns the entire cave suddenly went pitch black, lighted only by the fireballs that my mage pawn would cast every few seconds. The fight ended with the fighter in the party grappling the last lizardman from behind shouting "Now, finish it!" as I made a madcap sprint with nearly no health in complete darkness towards the health bar of that pawn.

Jimbot posted:At the end, stabbing the sword through your chest doesn't kill you, it makes you immortal. It's why the previous guy pulled the sword from his chest and then was killed. Stabbing yourself does kill you, that's why stabbing the previous Senechal with it kills them. That's why it's also called "Godsbane". The ending really is exactly what you were hoping it was going to be, which is why some of the big romancable options state that the "world feels different" during that last cutscene. Your character is actively denying the chain by stabbing themselves, removing "God" from the equation of life entirely. Remember that pawns become human like their owners after the owner gives them their soul- which is what your character does in the ending as a final gift to them by dying. Also hilariously the menu song/intro song is about this despite how little it appears to make sense/how little it actually makes sense. edit: also like every single major quest in the game deals with the idea that simply survival isn't the only reason for living which is probably supposed to temper that theme. Julien is a villain for that exact reason entirely, and Salvation's whole 'philosophy' pretty much springs that "broken window" logic into action (which is why they're also the main villains!)

Judge Tesla posted:It still bugs me that the Duke, who's now ancient says you cursed him, and you can do nothing to clear your name or even get a chance to explain yourself, or so I believe, its unfortunate the palace is basically locked off to you, due to the REALLY strong guards there. If you max out your affinity with the Duke he starts saying the line "To challenge the Dragon is to challenge me." or something to that effect when you talk to him- it's kinda weird but I think that might explain it a 'lil more. There might be more dialogue from the inbetween states since I handed him my Arisen's Bond but generally it seems like his intentions are entirely based on not actually fighting the Dragon at all.

Miijhal posted:It's honestly the worst for sorcerers. With every other class, there is at least SOME way to destroy the flying medals, as tedious as they may be. Sorcerors only have one means of physical damage, though: Bolide. And Bolide can't hit the flying medal (and does a pitiful amount of physical damage, anyway). Seism does 100% physical damage.

What the heck is with that weird lil nook in the cave under the well where it transitions into "Brightwater Cove"? Is that just something that's cut content or is there a legitimate way to get in that thing? Also, a fresh fighter/mage duo is somehow way easier to play through as than a 4 fighter party. It's absolutely insane how much magic turns the tide in fights. edit: Cthulhuchan posted:It was my interpretation that your "sacrifice" was ultimately pointless, that you only ensured that which ever Arisen was runner-up to you would just get a free ride to Seneschal-hood. All you really did was divest yourself of future guilt in the suffering of the world, and gave your pawn a chance at a normal, mortal life, albeit as you.

Here's the press release for it: http://www.capcom-unity.com/neilgortz/blog/2013/01/23/delve-deep-into-terror-with-dragons-dogma-dark-arisen-this-aprilDelve deep into terror with Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen this April posted:Following the announcement of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen last year we are now pleased to confirm concrete details about this expansion to the world of Dragon’s Dogma. Scheduled for release on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from April 23 in North America and April 26 across Europe, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is the next exciting chapter in the Dragon’s Dogma franchise. Coming both on a physical disc and as a full game digital download, the title delivers a huge brand new area, missions, enemies and more, plus all of the content from the original game. Unlimited ferrystones for folks who owned the original, and some kind of hinting at a fast travel system? Weird. It's good to see that the DLC seems to be focused on strictly high level content though, since that's where the game's difficulty falls apart.

How can they properly represent the game with some lame rear end J-Pop song that contains 0% Dangans? I bet you don't even fly into free in that fuckin' song!! Maybe Capcom doesn't get it after all..?!

Haven't seen anyone post this yet, so here's the Japanese new theme song trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiu8TFF_j5I It is infinitely inferior to Into Free. Although, the video does show that there are new enemy encounters in old locations which definitely brings up some hope!

huhwhat posted:I'm a bit of a completionist and having NPCs in escort quests die just makes me reload the game, which ultimately caused me to abandon the game. I recently checked my last save and apparently I'm in the middle of escorting a lady to knoll figure hill and I'm camped in a fortress en-route. They respawn two weeks later anyways. Everybody respawns. Every. body. Which is kinda weird and nonsensical but I guess they decided it's better to be lenient about that kinda thing rather than saying "you're hosed" for attacking NPCs.

Dark Arisen's content by itself is my GOTY 2013. Seriously holy poo poo it's so good. The original game restored my faith in Capcom actually being able to make competent games with some design direction - the DA content straight up has me believing that with the engine done they can make a loving AMAZING game. Also, if anyone needs some help on XBOX feel free to hire my high level (100+) bow only Ranger. GT: Seyavesh

There's Sapfire Daggers but I'm not sure if those are better. Barack starts selling the tier 2 items after some really late point (after beating it?) and the Helmbarte daggers are definitely one of the ones that he sells.

It's probably just recycled content from a demo area they made for expos or somethin'. I know I saw that area in some early promos for the game. At least it looks really dang cool and also the dudes you fight there in post-game are neat.

That's when you hire huge, giant pawns to make up for your tiny child/midget! Weapons scale with your size, so the tiny child-sized swords are absolutely hilarious at times (and also very bad for fighting with against humanoid enemies!)

It's a shame the Senechal fight is so anticlimactic, because the whole concept, setting and music of the fight are just great. Savan's dragon was totally wack as gently caress though - that dude is like level 30 when you control him.

gibbed posted:The most recent relevant PC port for Dragon's Dogma would be Dragon's Dogma Online, and Dragon's Dogma Online is solid aside from lack of keyboard binding (and I largely suspect they're using the work that went into making Dragon's Dogma Online for PC for Dark Arisen PC). i thought DA for pc was a QLOC joint specifically while DDO was a capcom online games thing i'm pretty curious to see how mods and stuff turn out for DA though since supposedly editing values for stuff in the console versions was somewhat simple and mt framework has somewhat of a modding history to it.

It really does a good job of making him seem like the bringer of the apocalypse he's built up to be. ...Unless you oneshot him with the Maker's Finger. it's kinda hosed you get it just as a purchase rather than having a quest because the weight behind that single use is so drat cool, especially with the unique tentacle-y effects it's got
