Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

[Silverfish]

I don't know how or what kind of 'fun' you thought it was supposed to be, but I think Cassardis is quite neatly designed; kinda reminds me of the older MH games villages (like Pokke Village). And if you properly paid attention to the flow of the narrative, you'll end up going back there way more than starting towns in RPGs usually do.

I've never dug the early quests in DD. Everything before the hydra is like a tax you pay so that you can have fun later.

My greatest fear is DD2 releases, the day is here, I'm so excited I've barely been able to sleep. I go to get my morning coffee at the Dunkin Donuts down the street. I get struck by a car. I die.

If you'd played your early levels as a fighter, you'd have enough HP to tank the car.

I will not create a thread just to ask this but why Crapcom din't launched Dragon's Dogma online in west?

Anyway, my magick archer can solo Daimon and "uber" Daimon in less than 2 minutes on hard.

Who fucking knows, Capcom not bring Dragon's Dogma Online to the West is one of many mysteries of the "Why do Japanese publishers do and not do this or that" variety. The ways of Japanese publishers seems to make little sense. If they were like Western studios you could pretty much set a clock to what everyone would be trying to do based on what was big. But with Japanese publishers, for like the last 16 years at the least it may as well be a mystery.

All I know is Dragon's Dogma was a series meant to capture a western audiences but it ended up being bigger in Japan. I think Online was geared more toward a Japanese audiences, but that doesn't explain why it never came here, even if it only came with English subtitles and menus at first or even ever. Game was free-to-play too, so it probably would've been fucking huge on PC and PS4. Maybe someone thought it'd have to be dubbed here to get an audience and the cost of doing that wasn't seen as being worth it.

They are brilliant and retard at the same time.

This guy must be hacking because Porky, one of the greatest gamers ever, who's beaten dozens of games like Pokemon, The Sims, and Star Stable, couldn't do this.

Are you supposed to play Dragons Dogma with a controller or is mouse + keyboard fine ?

Are you supposed to play Dragons Dogma with a controller or is mouse + keyboard fine ?

I think both can work. Depending on what vocation you choose to play, I'll say one is preferable to the other. If you play Ranger or Strider and Assassin focusing on using the bow, I would suggest M+K. For a physical Vocation like fighter, warrior and Assassin with meele focus, I usually prefer controller. But both options are viable either way IMO.

I thought this was mostly a melee action game. Are ranged attacks important ?

That's a class thing boyo

Yeah. Rangers is all about using a longbow, and has the highest damage potential of all vocation. Striders and Assassins can use shortbow, and you can use different kind of arrows to inflict status effects or damage to the oponent. Magick Archer as the name implies use a magic bow with a lock-on mechanic that allow their projectiles to follow their target. They pretty much cast spells with a bow. Then sorcerers and mages are all about classic spells obviously. If you don't like long range combat, you can always choose Fighter, Warrior, equip you Assassin with no bow or play Mystic Knight, who does have long range options but in the form of magic turrets which target the enemy automatically, and beyond that is a close combat class (unless you decided to equip a magic Staff).

Dragon's Dogma is a console game designed to be played on a controller so you shouldn't have any problem playing it on a controller.

While Strider, Assassin, Ranger are all classes that use a bow, they also have melee weapons. Strider and Ranger both use daggers, which are good melee weapons; while the Ranger can use daggers or a normal sword. Magic Archer can switch between daggers and a staff.

Bows, the Magic Bow, and the ranged staff casting magic all have different aiming methods. Bows function like a normal third person shooter, staffs have a normal lock-on, and the magic bow is a paint on lock-on system you aim yourself along the lines of something like Panzer Dragoon if I remember right.

Thank you, thats the kind of information I was looking for.

There are Harpies and Dragons so ranged attacks are good against them and give you a bit of versatility in encounters. If you get tired of melee you can switch to a bow and try shooting enemies in the head. Assassin is pretty much the go to because of it's strength gain and abilities when it comes to melee and ranged.

 

[Blutwurstritter]

Are assassin and ranger subclasses ? I could only choose between fighter, strider and mage at the beginning.
