Current Events > Dragon's Dogma deserves a sequel.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the finest, funnest, most enjoyable ARPGs to ever grace gaming. At long last an RPG that doesn't have shit Bethesda combat or unsatisfying encounters. One of the best, most replayable games to this day and if Monster Hunter World can move copies then a well advertised DD sequel would set the world on fire.

Probably the best dragon boss fights in a game, pulls off huge beasts extremely well and the gameplay is enough to ruin every RPG you'll play afterwards. If it fixed up the story and kept the tone how Bitterblack Isle is, add in even more monsters, more treasure, more cool locations and add more vocations? Instant classic.

The game definitely had some issues, but it was definitely enjoyable.

More than likely a new game is in production, Itsuno said he wanted to do DMC5 first before Dragon's Dogma 2.

Agreed. Loved Dark Arisen. There's Dragon Dogma Online, but Capcom never brought it over because there's not high enough demand for the franchise outside JPN.

That's disgusting to read. DDO would have been what the MMORPG genre desperately needed since those games are almost known for having fairly garbage combat and it'd have given Capcom a lot more room to expand the game favorably.

I contest that DD didn't do so hot outside of Japan because of where it was originally released. Came out in 2012, stuck between Diablo and Mass Effect, probably the worst time to release a new IP. Whatever the case it deserves a second chance. Monster Hunter blew up huge with World, a DD2 could easily do the same.

And that game was released during Capcom's dark ages. Imagine it with the talent they have now that delivered DMC5.

I will say that Dragon's Dogma felt like what Capcom would do if they had the D&D license still. It reminds me if they took Shadow over Mystara and went beyond its beat 'em up/hack & slash roots.
