Poll of the Day > What's Dragon's Dogma?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Been hearing a lot of people talk about it. Is it any good? Fun? I remember it coming out, but didn't seem like many people were raving about it back then.

Better than skyrim. Thats for sure

If you got time and patience. I shall spin you a tale on how the game is

It's okay. An interesting blend of really cool ideas and some really questionable execution. In terms of overall quality it's nothing special, but if you like RPGs with exploration and real time combat it's different enough from the staples to be worth a try.

This, it has phenominal combat held back by limited movesets, it's directed by the same guy who does DMC and you can really feel that, but like I said the potential is held back by only having around 4 abilites at a time.

But the game is disgustingly small and quests are boring, you sart the game, say "Wow this adventure looks like it's going to be great!" and then get slapped in the face by an open world 1/4th the size of Skyrims with the same 1/4th content.

Also they made carry weight effect combat and stamina but then makes you carry dozens of small items that quickly build up to overload you and inventory management is tedious at best. get ready for the ever classic Sprint, wait to regen, Sprint, wait, sprint, wait and so on made worse by the fact if you make the mistake of running out you have to wait an additonal 5+ seconds to actually start moving at all because you need a party member to help you out.

The game ultimately feels like a proof of concept, it's insane we haven't seen a sequel in over 10 years, a greatly expanded sequel could have been Elden Ring before Elden Ring, if that makes sense.

the combat isn't phenomenal, it's just kinda mediocre

Not much. What's Dragon's Dogma with you?

I started playing it the other day. Its fun. I dont really get whats going on in the story, but running around fighting monsters is fun

That pretty much sums up the game. I found the combat to be fun on certain builds and terrible on others. The pawn community on the board here was probably the best part of the game. There is an interesting premise, but the game does a terrible job at actually developing it or telling the story in general. It also does a fairly bad job of explaining the pawn AI in game, so if you don't read up online you will frequently end up with pawns that just stand around twiddling their thumbs.

a decent and under-rated game. it's far from perfect, but i agree that it's better than skyrim.
