Current Events > Someone convince me to give Dragon's Dogma another chance

(+) Yeah! (+)

I played 15 mins

Was I scammed or was the beginning intentionally supposed to turn you off?

Neither? You just apparently kind of suck at action games, don't get the point of facing bosses, and got in a coma (or however you missed it having a story) while playing it.

You could convince me better. The game wasnt hard at all. Just bad controls making it not fun.

I cannot help you there as I had no issues with the controls (PC w/ Switch Pro controller) at all. It felt relatively easy to control and I never struggled with anything on that front after completing the game + its DLC.

I didnt think the controls were hard at all either. Just really bad lol. Youre defending the game and yourself now instead of convincing me why you love it so much.

You put harpies as a reason that the game is trash, I see no reason to take this as something serious that I should care about any attempt at changing your mind.

Harpies is a pretty good reason. Any game that introduces an enemy with janky controls within the first 10 mins deserves a nod to bad game design. You havent attempted to give any input since your first post said I just suck at the game lol.

Fine. It has solid and easy to understand combat that is satisfying to do and isn't found elsewhere.

I disagree. You gotta give me a little more than that lol. This was a genuine question originally but you wanted to drop in and talk shit.

And what is there to say? I played it to completion, hence where my take would be different. If you don't like it, don't play it. I don't actually care.

The controls are markedly dated. That is a common complaint of newcomers. The game also doesn't hold your hand in figuring out what's going on. There's a lot you can miss if you're not paying attention. It's an old game now, but a lot of what they had was innovative for the time and honestly still is. Nobody has been able to emulate what Dragons Dogma has.

This is not a WRPG. It's definitely a JRPG that takes from western games and it's not exactly the same kind of open world it was intended to emulate. The game's rushed nature has a lot to do with that.

All that noted, what I really want to convey is that Dragons Dogma is a very unique experience that plays like an ARPG in a lot of ways, takes its gameplay cues from JRPGs and takes its story cues from western high fantasy. There is no game like it. Theres a neat lore aspect to it, and the atmosphere of the maps areas is top notch. The difficulty curve is kind of steep, but it's very satisfying once you've mastered the games quirks and start becoming more powerful. Pawn system is very cool, the indirect interactions via pawns is still charming and fun, to put it plainly.

DD also always tries to challenge you. You can grind and push through the game but you WILL run into a wall eventually.

Finally, DD is the source of some gr8 memes. I hope you join us and learn that wolves ill like fire, Arisen.

Maybe it's the version I was playing, but the framerate was abysmal.
