I followed the game for a while but stopped, saw some demo videos. My questions is how similar is this in "feel" to a Dark Souls? Whe it was announced I saw this game as Capcom's attempt to do a game similar to DarkSouls/Skyrim, but more of a Souls like gameplay. What can I expect fromi it?

You're able to carry a lantern around with you. I personally like how they're handling the night time settings. It's actually realistic unlike most games. I believe that Magic Archers are also able to use light arrows to shoot into trees so that you're able to have light in that area at night.

Dunno if this was posted but GameInformer put their review on their site.

[The Antitype]

I had only marginal interest in this game going in, and after reading some of the reviews, I think I'll pass until it's around $20.

It is no The Witcher, Skyrim or Mass Effect. It instead goes back to its roots to just being an all out fun RPG with tons of loot, leveling up and tackling enemies one way or another. It is never going to be an RPG that everyone will love but I have been waiting for a game like this on the current gen consoles for a very long time.

[Anteater]

Yeah like Rivyn said it doesn't look like a game everyone will like, there has already been pretty split opinions on some of the design decisions (limited fast travel, no level scaling and no way to check enemies' strength, dark night time)

There are some more positive reviews/articles with more info than the short ones like GI:

For those who want one last stream before the game comes out, IGN Live will be playing the game this Monday, 10:00AM Pacific Time. If you have the IGN App on your 360, you can watch it from there.

The game looks too scary at night.

Added a ton of reviews.

Oxm uk and gametrailers reviews are up too

[GrandHarrier]

So... I plan on getting this game, but I'm pretty sure I know what I am getting into, I have a fondness for terrible janky games (Risen, Gothic, etc). But seriously, some of the DD Evangelism going on in this thread is lol-worthy. Shit talking TES and lauding a game based on its demo alone? Riiight.

better basing an opinion off a demo (and tons of streams and youtube videos), than simply on review-scores... but in the end, only playing the game will tell for sure, if you like it...

Looks like if 7 is your lucky number than this game is for you.

Gametrailers one is surprising

[Pie and Beans]

Gametrailers often have an eye for quality in these sorts of games. They were one of the first to really laud Demon's Souls.

A lot of oddly myopic reviews for this game though, knocking it down points that other western games enjoy immunity from. I think this generation is where the line of games journalists with mates down the road in development has rendered the majority of their reviews meaningless. Also a lot of johnny come latelys and younglings that dont seem to know a western RPG style game doesnt have to be Skyrim.

Imo so far, the combat system, ability to grab damn near anything with an actual useful effect, and the animations already put the game above Skyrim for me. Granted they arent really the same type of game in the first place. Dont think this falls into the terrible janky game category either :P

EDIT: Had the wrong tab up, meant for the rest to go in the OT.

[Endo Punk]

So Capcom ruined two games. DMC and now DD. Im sure they were hoping for critical success at least like Demon's Souls. Karma is a bitch.

[Pie and Beans]

Not really. I invite all sorts of failure to a lot of Capcom for their mishandling of many a franchise, but this is the game made by what little talent still resides in their hallways, and it shows. I'd rather the message isn't sent that people prefer westernised or western studio handed stuff to games from the actual old DMC talent house.

Seems pretty meh, and I have no need for games like that when I have lots of great RPG´s to play and replay. Pass.

If this seems 'meh' to you compared to other RPG's, then a Dragon has ripped out your heart and it lays silent.

Well, a well written review is more informative then just a brief gameplay clip. It seems that Dragons Dogma does some things really good, and other things quite bad, and as a result......meh.

[Pie and Beans]

As someone that can turn a blind eye to the swarthes of terrible to be found in Skyrim, I guess you're pretty firmly in the camp the other side of reviewers are coming from. Which is plenty interesting because Dragon's Dogma seems to do everything right that I found wrong with 94% metacritic rated Skyrim.

[Sword Familiar]

At the risk of quoting my own tag, at times like this I wish Metacritic would show the median score as well as the mean. Granted it only differs a few points in this case (PS3), but it gives a better image of what the bulk of the reviews are saying as it isn't as affected by outliers as the mean average is.

Still in the range of what I expected for this game though.

Trust, it's not meh in any sense of the word.

For anyone interested, my review:

[Jake Tower]

Are there 'Purchase DLC' pop-ups in the game?

[Anteater]

Are there 'Purchase DLC' pop-ups in the game?

There's a pop up at the title screen that reminds you what new DLCs are available, Jim Sterling says he saw it in the tutorial telling him he could buy DLCs or something, but I must've missed it or maybe it was part of the tutorial message I turned off, I haven't ran into anything in the actual game but I've only played for a few hours, this is what Jim Sterling said in the comments section of his review:

On DLC: The ads aren't too outrageous, they're just cause for me to say, "Really Capcom?" Basically, they mix them in with the tutorial popups, reminding you that you can get DLC quests if you want. I wouldn't worry too much. The main game has a shit-ton of quests already, and since most of it's of the, "Get items/Kill monsters" variety, I doubt most of the DLC quests will be must-have things.

Actually this looks worse than just 'meh'. Looks boring as hell. Is this the best footage from Dragon's Dogma?

I was actually trying to give it a chance but my lord that video was boring.

[Schwabe]

edit.

[Seraphis Cain]

so, i am in postgame at conquerer's sanctuary: instead of two cyclops, there waits a drake (11 HP bars). It dropped 2x Drake's Tear. the description says: "the wondrous liquid of a dragon's eye. Collect it from each species and you may alter the rewards from defeated foes." Anybody know what that means? And how i can make profit else than selling?

Wrong thread, yo.
