It took a while but finally Dragons Dogma is home on the platform it always needed. Containing possibly the best combat in an action RPG game ever conceived, Dragons Dogma is probably one of my favourite RPG games ever made.
   
   The storyline appears very generic from the outset, but don't let that fool you. Whilst it may not be a Masterwork of literary genius, it definately adds its own unique style to the genre.

   Actually a very decent game.
   The fighting, however, feels fantastic and rewarding while you're bringing down giants.

   It's an action-rpg. Spelled A-C-T-I-O-N-rpg. It's not a bad game, it may even be a great game. Just be aware of what you're buying and that itIt's an action-rpg. Spelled A-C-T-I-O-N-rpg.

   If you want a deep main story that makes sense you will not find that here. If you want meaningful interaction with other NPCs you will not find that here. If you want dialogue choices that leave you awake at night pondering their consequences you will not find that here.
   
   If on the other hand you have no problems playing a mute main character and want nothing more than to bash giant monsters over the head this might be your game. Because there are a lot giant ancient monsters and there certainly is a lot of bashing.
   
   This game is a little bit like the strange love-child of Diablo 3 and Dark Souls, and if that sounds like your thing then by all means go ahead. But if on the other hand you want a story driven RPG with lots of dialogue and character interaction this isn't the game for you.… Expand

The main story begins with the attack of a powerful dragon on the town where the protagonist lives. It turns out that the monster in question is the cause of the attack on the hero's village, which he calls "the chosen one". The dragon rips out the main protagonist's heart, but the chosen one somehow comes back to life and it becomes his new mission to reveal the truth about his identity and kill the dragon.
   
   Apart from the main campaign from the original game, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen offers an additional series of adventures in an entirely new location, the cursed island of Bitterblack. It allows us to explore the vast underworld inhabited by 25 new types of enemies. In addition to a series of original quests, the game also adds a third character skill and numerous new ways to upgrade equipment and inventory.
   
   When it comes to mechanics, Dragon's Dogma is a dynamic action RPG that offers an incredibly complex arcade battle system with amazing magic. One of its characteristic features is the ability to climb on the backs of our larger enemies and target their body parts. To start with, we can create our own hero by choosing one of the available classes, whose gender and playstyle will largely determine our gameplay. We are accompanied in the game by other side characters created by the players, who provide valuable information in some story missions.
   
   Compared to 2012's version, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen brings a number of minor changes to the gameplay. The developers have improved the game's mechanics in general, including the user interface and the fast-travel system, and added numerous improvements that affect the overall gameplay experience. Importantly, these apply to both the new adventure and the original story campaign. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is a game developed with the single player in mind and does not offer a multiplayer mode. However, players can participate in special online adventures. The game has an average of 50-100 hours of gameplay with side content.… Expand

   If you can call game a piece of **** then this is it, Visually game looks like from 2004, but run worse, than any modern photorealistic RPG,If you can call game a piece of **** then this is it, Visually game looks like from 2004, but run worse, than any modern photorealistic RPG, companion system is definately game killing mechanics, AI sucks, controls are dumb, camera lives its own life, autotarget system kills any targeting in game. Idea of the game is nice, but this piece of garbage is nothing more, than Idea. Do you think, that DAI was bad ? Then try this...
   Do not even waste your time and it's not worth even if they will give this trash for free...… Expand
