Game has very intresting mechanics rare or lack in other games like weight and height of character affect gameplay (fat characters cannot be raised by harpies, tall characters cannot enter goblins holes etc), roottening food in inventory if keept outside special cointainers, lantern required oil and drains by water fall and many others. Very detailed character creator also need some patience.… Expand

    Hardcore action RPG. Brilliant game. Great combat mechanics. Brilliant Griffin/boss fights! Enigmatic plot. One game I bothered to complete and let's face it not so many games are worth the effort these days. Bout to man up for a second playthrough!

    What an epic game, you can be anyone you choose to be, you can side with all different types of characters, and have awesome duels in a land, this game really is epic, but a little short sighted on quests, but there will be tons of them to complete. Really a great game.

    Great game indeed it shows clearly that they tried hard to make this good game and that what it is. Large area with lots of quest to do theres not easily going to end things to do. Scary part is that there can always come monsters no matter what. You just walk on a road and then theres you get ambushed. Boss battles arent too hard but they are not too easy either.

    +Una jugabilidad excelente
    +Combates rápidos y emocionante
    +Rol bastante decente
    +Sistema de Peones muy adictivo

    -La historia tiene muchos altibajos.
    -Pocas ciudades (Solamente Gran Soren, es la más grande del juego)

Well i don't regret buying DD one bit . Its a fun new iP that i would like to see more of in the future. The game off the start looks amazing in the graphics department and the combat system is top notch . The combat reminds me alot of Shadows of the collossus for the PS2 and is just tons of fun . The create a character was well done and you get a pretty good amount of choices to pick from . The game is also pretty long around 40-60 hours . There is a ton of wepons and armor and it all looks differnt giving you and your team mates a differnt look . The world is pretty big and there is plenty to do. Now the game is said to be really hard and this is kind of true at the start of the game , where you have to be very careful on where you go because you can just get your butt kicked real easy some times but once you get to about level 25 and have some good gear you wont have much to worry about and once you are 35 nothing should really stand in your way any more. some of the downsides are the story just sucks and makes no sense at all. about half way through the game i just didn't care any more wtf was going on any more with the story because it wasnt making any sense and the ending wont help any . also traveling around sucks hard there is no fast travel . some pureist may prefer this but the majority of player will not and this is why. I really did not enjoy runing back and forth between the same areas 20-30x fighting the same enemies over and over again it got so damn boring and repetitive . it would have been fine if we where given a horse or atleast like in morrowind had the mages guild where they could teleport us to certain areas or hell even that had the silt strider as well. even with some of thoose big flaws DD is a really fun game even with the BIGGEST for a RPG having a crap story to still warrent your time.… Expand

The online exchange of 'pawns' - a system where you enrol another players inferior to your cause - is intuitive and adds variety and interest to the quest.
    Overall the game is really interesting and any RPG fan will relish in the numerous weapons, upgrades, and hidden quests on offer in this title. This is no short game either, with at least 30-50 hours of gameplay in one playthrough. It is the gameplay, however, that becomes a little tiresome. Until you finish the game there is no fast travel system, meaning that you will travel the same paths over and over and over and over again, often for simple fetch quests or in pursuit of some nominal objective. I can imagine the frustration for some when hours of gameplay are taken getting from one point to another when all the environment has been seen before - often several times.
    All that said I enjoyed the game massively and would urge any RPG fan to get involved, since the overall experience is engaging and novel. When the fetch quests are out of the way, the actual dungeon sections require skill and tenacity to complete, and reward you for your efforts. Furthermore the final sections of the game are remarkable and completely unexpected.
    I wish that the drawbacks of the game did not mar the experience, but there were parts where I truly felt I was doing time rather than having fun. highly recommended - but mind the gaps!    … Expand

I've just been reading constant terrible reviews from reviews that apparently don't know what to play games. Instead I'll give you a list of points.

    - Pawns: They talk a lot, they can give you hints depending on how much knowledge they have of a quest, area or monster. Other people can hire your pawn and vice versa which will help add to their knowledge base. If you are really that annoyed by your pawns constantly talking, then there is no reason why you can't turn it off.
    Pawns have a lot of different behaviours and it's important you understand these behaviours so that you can have synergy in your party. You can buy potions in the encampment which tell you what each of the behaviours are.

    -Vocations. There are 9 separate vocations. Strider (Daggers and shortbow), Ranger (Longbows), Magick Archer (Magick Bows), Fighter (Sword & Shield), Warrior (2 handed Great Weapons), Assassin (daggers, swords, shields, bows), Mage (support magic and elemental magic), Sorcerer (Great and powerful magic). While the game starts of with forcing you to play Fighter, Strider or Mage, you will be able to switch very fast to any vocation you want to play by fighting your way to Gran Soren and buying the new vocation with discipline (which is given for XP gained). There are lots of different ways to play the same vocation because of the way the skill system works and it's important to make sure you have skills that will let you do what you want to do.

    Story - Yes the story is pretty bad. It's a semi-interesting story, however the way it's told is quite poor and it will be hard to understand what is going on. Really you aren't here for the story though.

    Monsters - This game probably has the best roster of monsters and ways to fight them that I've ever seen in a game. Each monster has many strengths and weaknesses and a whole plethora of ways of acting. For instance when fighting a cyclops, he may or may not have have armour on, which you can coerce him into pulling off by climbing him, attack different areas of his body will yield different effects. If someone is climbing on his head to strike him in the eye, then someone else can climb on his leg to stop him moving, and even attack in an attempt to trip him up. Lightning can stun them (especially when wearing armour) while fire will set them ablaze and possible make them frenzied. I could keep going on about all the different things that can be done in a fight again just one creature and there are many more.

    World & Exploration - The world is quite large. I would also say that it's laid out in a peculiar way, it's not just an open plain which can be traversed in a more or less straight line and travelling from one side of the map to the other will take a great deal of time and preperation to make sure you don't get lost. The map is only revealed as your explore so finding your way around can be troublesome to begin with.
    There is quick travel, however it is very limited. This was done in attempt to make the world feel larger, as games where you get flying mounts or easy access to quick travel often trivialise the entire point of having a large open world full of dangerous creatures. That said there are ways of quick travel, however they are either quite rare, or of a finite amount. There isn't much to say, this is really a game that is focused on fighting glorious creatures. Pretty much all of them are taken from Roman or Greek mythology and are incredibly fun to fight.

    The only real downside to this game is that it doesn't have any Co-Operative multiplayer component, even though it would be absolutely brilliant for that. There is something called the Ur-Dragon, which is a huge dragon which multiple people fight at the same time, and all the damage from everyone fighting it is added together, but that's not real multiplayer.    … Expand

There is no fast travel system, which I don't mind, and while this results in a great sense of exploration and atmosphere, it also means you back track across the same areas time and time again. Ferrystones will instantly teleport you from your location to the main hub city, but these are initially very expensive until you amass enough gold to be able to afford them regularly. Combat is hit or miss - it's either a fluid dance or a chaotic mess. Squad AI is generally more than competent, but framerate slowdowns and the quick pace of battle makes things easy to lose track of. You also have no direct control over your pawns. The game's unique feature is the pawn system. At the start of the game you create your main character and your main pawn. Your pawn is your right hand man and he levels along side you. You have full control over his inventory and skills, which is great and gives you a real sense of teamwork with the AI as you train it to match your play style. At certain points throughout the world, you can summon pawns created by other players to help you out. Other players can also summon your main pawn. Every time you rest at an in, the game will let you know if your pawn brought some item back for you and you always get points you can use to hire more pawns. If you find an area too challenging, you can hire a high level pawn if you can afford it instead of grinding in order to help you get through the area. Best part is, you still get full XP for their kills. My only complaints are framerate slowdowns, lack of enemy variety, and side quests which are all dull fetch errands or kill X number of bats. There's a lot of satisfaction to be had customizing your character and your pawns to execute the perfect battle strategy. When the AI manages to pull it off, it's a beautiful thing. When it stumbles, it's either a fault in your setup or the AI's fault. All in all, it's a game worth checking out for RPG fans but don't expect the masochistic difficulty of Demon's/Dark Souls.… Expand

With crafting similar to Resident Evil, fast pace action adjacent to Devil May Cry, and with gameplay combining Final Fantasy elements with Dragon Age combat... at first glance, this game is a match made in heaven. The only few minor problems in the game consists of technical issues. But this game has huge flaws. For one: There is no means of true fast travel... not even horses. Two: Missions (especially at the beginning of the game) do not reveal if you are too weak for them. Three: The main essential story is more than lackluster and characters are faceless. Combine no fast travel with non user friendly missions and you could spend hours traveling across the map to objectives only to find that you are not strong enough to fend off enemies of the locale. This is the major drawback, but what does this game do right? For starters, this is one of the only games that get A.I right, sure they come with a few annoyance but overall the pawn system is innovative, and is actually very useful. The combat mechanics, however simplistic, can actual get deep and are extremely fun. Boss fights are incredibly engaging with a nice blend of strategy to go along with it. In the end: If this game didn't get so much right, the things that it gets wrong would cripple the experience.

The game cheap shots the hell out of you with its save system, for instance, one quest you have to catch a child then another similar quest throws you in jail (quest failed) check point save..auto save if you try to catch the kid. Starting the whole game over is the only option. Voice acting is good but everything else is sub-par. Small map, repetitive, linear, too much money, lack of equipment, lame crafting, skill sets max too soon.

Finally, add a tutorial that is too obtuse, and a game system that isn't very friendly, and the fact that everything is thrown at you from the beginning, rather than letting you ease into-it, and you possibly have a recipe for disaster. So its thankful then, that Dragon's Dogma has some has awesome unique touches, that save it. For starters, the combat system, of which is vastly different in many way to what you've used before, is just superb - it takes a couple of goes, but once you've learnt it, you'll never tire of it. Then there's the enemies, of which vary from Goblins to Harpies and then go right up to Chimeras, Giant Cyclops, and Dragons, and you'll see that the world in the game has plenty to offer. Plus, the quests in the game are good fun, and engaging, and the gameplay coupled with the combat, makes for a unique, slightly harder take on the traditional RPG. Capcom have made a western RPG in their own eyes (rather than the other way around, as is so often the case), and despite its quirks, is a gripping game in its own right, and given time, could even convert people who normally wouldn't even play RPG's. Not perfect technically, but this is a deep game with addictive action, and comes highly recommended.… Expand

At first, I was thrown off by the seemingly pop rock song at the title screen, which led to a facepalm and left me thinking, "Japan, what have you done NOW?" But as I played the game, it completely took me by surprise at the setting and, the factor that led me to buy this game, the GAMEPLAY! I had too much fun with this game and I've yet to set it down!

    Breakdown on features (on scale of 1 to 10):

    Graphics: 7. Detailed, but nothing to write home about. Runs around 20 to 30 frames per second.

    Sound: 7. Every character has a voice over, and most of them are not annoying. You'll be amused at the trainer that yells "Enough!" by the way.

    Gameplay: 9! THIS is where the game truly shines! The controls are simple, and yet the way its presented takes it to another level. You can jump and climb on enemies, and depending on what you grab (the legs will slow them down) or attack (hit an enemy's eyes and they'll stagger) will affect the battle in different ways. As for the smaller enemies, you can actually grab them and do a Sparta kick! It's like Shadow of the Colossus, but with a more vibrant world AND with companions! My only gripe are the two-handed weapons. They don't feel very effective, and they're almost completely useless when climbing and attacking the big monsters.

    Features: 9! The Pawn system takes the companion feature to a new level: You can actually use companions from your friends! This will make combat and exploring considerably easier and more fulfilling. That's not to say there aren't any challenging foes, however, as there are monsters that will test your group composition. Character and pawn customization is surprisingly detailed and makes you feel distinguishable. Their combat dialogue CAN get a bit tiresome, however.

    Multiplayer: N/A, no true multiplayer here, though one can't help but think of possibilities....

    Any downsides to this game?: The camera angles and lack of zooming can be a bit disappointing. Also you'd think this game would've harnessed the power of the PS3 to give the frame rate a bit of a boost. I found the story a bit uninteresting but to each their own.

    Overall: This game is at the very least worth checking out, and a definite buy if you like an engrossing single-player RPG with fantastic combat.    … Expand

There are *minor* glitches that would be fixed by a patch update so that not big deal. The way the pawn system comes into play really keeps it interested with them saying some pretty funny things. The only reason i voted 8.10 is because in the beginning ( first 24 hours of play , yes that still the beginning) theres lot of quest that state go kill 50 rabbits, or go kill 30 skeletons. Now i will say what i really love about the game is it gives you so much gold for completing quest.… Expand

    It's very challenging, and it may take a few hours to get used to it, but after the initial contact it is a wonderful game. Graphics are really nice, and the game play is excellent. It could have better dialogs, though. I totally love how your companions learn about quests and then use that knowledge during combat.

    As a huge fan of RPG's, I was expecting something great from legendary developer Capcom. However, this game is not nearly a fraction of what it could have been. While the game play is still fun and the pawn system is very original, I found the combat to be sub-par and slow at times, and the voiceovers weren't any better. If you're interested in this one, wait until it's on the $20 dollarAs a huge fan of RPG's, I was expecting something great from legendary developer Capcom.

    Dragon Dogma was an exceptionally great game for me, the character design all the way to the moment the cyclops decides to push your partner off the cliff. The graphic design looked a little anime-ish not sure what that was all about but i'm not complaining. This is a MUST PLAY game.

    It's a great game, despite its flaws. Combat over many things is fun and fast pace, the character customization is well thought out and created character leave you with a dropped jaw and the story was great as well. Although it feels rushed and incomplete, there is no lip syncing, missions are tedious and leave you with almost no reward for completing them, and this is a personal opinionIt's a great game, despite its flaws.

Although it feels rushed and incomplete, there is no lip syncing, missions are tedious and leave you with almost no reward for completing them, and this is a personal opinion but i was not a fan of the "Pawn" system. This game was the potential of topping off even Skyrim if Capcom had put more time and effort into this RPG, i hope Capcom learns from what did and didn't work and makes an incredible sequel that will exceed this game.… Expand

    This adventurer relished Dragon's Dogma's old-school sensibilities, which make it familiar territory that is expected on a PC instead of something from Capcom on the PS3. As players romp across a wide-open world filled with danger, titanic ruins and wonders, they'll realize that it's a rough, rewarding world, though its hardened edges may not be to everyone's cup of tea.

    Neither Monster Hunter nor Dark Souls--but a great combination of the two.

    The graphics aren't state-of-the-art and the story isn't that well-told. That said, spectacular combat and a wonderful environment to wander around in save Dragon's Dogma from the purgatory of mediocrity.
