Do we have any indication on how the game is selling so far?

It sold around 300k in its first week in Japan, but as for overall numbers I'm not sure how it's doing.

[Evolved1]

I wish I could play with just my status visible... so I could monitor my stamina and health without having to see pawns'/enemies'...

[Augemitbutter]

numbers from the current MC thread:

04./02. [PS3] Dragon's Dogma (Capcom) - 34,184 / 419,208 (-59%)

[earvcunanan]

numbers from the current MC thread:

That's decent. I wonder if they hit a million sales worldwide.

[Evolved1]

And you should really be able to cancel a spellcast...

[Dresden]

I hope so. There's a healthy amount of interest online, but the gaming community really is a bubble.

[joe2187]

Only played Mystic Knight, but whenever I wanted to cancel a spell... I just jumped.

[ShockingAlberto]

numbers from the current MC thread:

I think it's a given that we'll be getting a sequel.

I just hope they take the known issues to heart.

[Derrick01]

WAT? I uhh...think I just drop kicked a troll/ogre/cyclops/whatever off of a cliff lmao. He hit me with a club and sent me flying and my game kind of glitched out and my character was spazzing out in the air along with the camera, next thing I know I sort of snap back into normalcy right beneath the thing and it kind of just fell off the edge.

At this point with everything crushing me in 2 hits I'll take what I can get! lol

[Evolved1]

can someone explain how exactly chests work...

[Dresden]

can someone explain how exactly chests work...

There's a few different items that can pop out per chest, it's random.

[Evolved1]

There's a few different items that can pop out per chest, it's random.

The game is dicking me over hard atm... I'm in witchwood and open a chest, it's the gossip mask, which it pretty good for my early character but I'm thinking maybe there's something more mage specific. So I reload. It's a shitty hood like 3 times in a row. Then for two loads it's a golem strategy scroll. Now I'm annoyed, because I'd rather just have the mask that I started with. Surely it can't take that many tries to draw it? The next five loads are a strength potion. :/ I can't even get the hood.

haha... :(

I'm just wondering what's going on... if the mask will ever come 'round again. I've been loading the game now pretty much out of disbelief, and to satisfy my own curiosity. After almost 11 or so loads, it has yet come back around.

[JohnLacke]

Just jump.
Also, if a Pawn is casting the wrong enchantment, pick him/her up and set them down, they'll then recast something possibly new, and get the right enchantment.

It'll come around again. According to the guide, some items have a 2% chance of appearing, amidst others that have a 40 or 50% chance.

[maomaoIYP]

Dude, jump man. Pawns do it all the time when getting attacked while casting. You can cancel a lot of skills that require charging by jumping as well.

Also, my solo assassin has hit lvl 30. I'm actually enjoying the escort quests now. It turns the game into a sneaking mini game where I plan an optimal route so as to meet the least number of enemies.

[LaneDS]

I hope so. There's a healthy amount of interest online, but the gaming community really is a bubble.

Much like Demon's Souls did, I expect this game to have some solid legs, sales-wise.

[StunandStab]

Anyone else on PSN having issues with the game when it tries to access the server today? I keep getting blank dialogue boxes and have to wait a minute =/

edit: and getting stuck pre-loading screen forever

[CadetMahoney]

Anyone else feel this game has too much that it will be a long time before a decent FAQ comes out that covers almost everything?

I could probably write one if I had the time.

[Augemitbutter]

anybody finished aelinore escort to healing spring? i've been to two springs, it just won't trigger the completion.

nm, i just went to the wrong one.

[Clear]

Every escort to the healing springs I've done involves taking the client to the one North of the Blighted Manse, far East of the ones near the Catacombs.

Make sure you've got the quest set as primary so you can see the target marker on the map, its quite specific.

[ShockingAlberto]

Yeah, there's two springs. One by Hillfigure Knoll and one by the rear entrance to the Duke's Manse with lots of Dire Wolves guarding the path.

[Derrick01]

Ugh spiders. Why does every RPG have to have spiders?

edit: Haha I got an ogre to charge off the stairs and kill itself at half health in those crypts below the major city. I'm such a trolling asshole.

Part of me wishes I could have finished it off though. We were fighting for a good 8 minutes and he was only at half health.

yea, i jumped the gun and walked to the nearest spring first. at the end, the third spring was the right one.



btw, pawn on the right is the new guile/asura voice actor pawn. didn't notice anything special about him. has some rare gear from EF, but that's it. and he's named asura.

When visiting the band of women thieves, everyone has to be female correct? What if I have my main pawn as male, but wear women clothing? Is there a certain vocation requirement? Bc none are strider/assassin/ranger. I was jw, bc as I made my way there, the female thieves were attacking me.

He can be wearing women's clothing, but the quest can be....glitchy. Sometimes it won't recognize it and they'll still attack.

Keep in mind, you will still be attacked by female bandits until you get to their waycastle. Then the ones in that immediate area won't attack you (unless you confront the boss and it decides your male pawn is, in fact, male).

Wear women clothing. Because a band of lesbian thieves is often confused by a man in drag.

[Teknoman]

Asura? Is it one of the special Capcom pawns? I hired Dante and one of the female mages awhile back, and while helpful, didnt notice anything special.

[ezekial45]

I really want to try Assassin, but i'm in the post-game now and I'm probably gonna get my ass kicked running around with a low-ranked vocation.

EDIT: In fact, I've never even tried the ranged or mage classes. I just stick with Fighter and Mystic Knight throughout the whole game.

[Augemitbutter]

yea, probably just modelled after the real actor.

[Knux-Future]

PS3 just bit the the big one...


Luckily I did actually beat the game once....

but the second play through(NG+) will have to wait.


sucks.

Thank you. I hope my male pawn's hair can convince them that 'she' is a dike

[Meisadragon]

Am I the only one who finds Cyclops cute? The harmless one near the bandit's hideout is so d'aww. Ogres can die though.

Is there any issue with buying Dragon's Dogma used? Any codes needed in order to buy the DLC if one wanted?

Only code with the game is for the RE6 demo.

Fucking tentacle boss . Spent about 30 minutes each try (3 tries) but it just kept infinitely respawning. I figured the big ones were the ones to kill first but I chopped about 4 off after a long pain in the ass struggle and nothing happened. Any tips?

[miladesn]

NG+ goes by soo fast, everything dies with one or two hits :| I imagine I can finish it in 7-8 hours.

about the Wyrm Hunt and and the achievement for doing all the quests. from what I read, quests I have done last time carries over, pretty sure on my first play through Maximilian had an option that let me talk to the Duke before finishing all the four tasks and he said something like the tasks will be given to someone else etc, I'm not there yet but if I pick that I can skip those safely?

Don't fight it. Run. Run like hell.

[Derrick01]

I went down that huge spiral staircase just to run? Oh well I think it did say I completed the quest when the enemy spawned. I noticed a tiny stone doorway somewhere down there too, guess I'll look at that first.

There were more rooms to the dungeon before you reach the bottom, it doesn't have to do with the tentacles but it does have some loot and additional enemies, you reach those rooms by not pressing the first switch and make a turn to explore all the corridors if I remember correctly

It will still bring you to the bottom at the end but from another room

Actually when you visit Everfall for the first time, you can get access to a lot more chambers with incredible loot. You just have to play with those gates to find secret areas. Can't believe I found that out in my third playthrough. Once you reach post-game, all those areas will be gone.

Yeah, you can skip it and go meet the Duke.

I took the long way the first playthrough when I saw that there were all those corridors you could miss if you just run straight for the bottom, that dungeon turned out to be my favorite one, since I had to fight a lot more stuff, I was running out of items, it was pretty great

also got blasted by mage skeletons when exiting out of one of the corridors, had to do some epic platforming to get rid of them

Yeah, weird placement. I also fell down a lot of times while fighting them; it wasn't that damaging, thankfully.

You have to do one quest before you can hear the Duke's directive, just choose whatever would be fastest for you.

This is as good as it gets, for now, if you don't have the strategy guide. I should probably add it to the OP (and maybe scrub all the outdated information like "the night is dangerous").

[The_Hitcher89]

I fucking love this game. Level 27 now, a little worried that I might be overlevelled a bit. I'd rather be underlevelled and have to grind to continue than be overpowered and breeze through 2/3 of the game

[John Harker]

This game is hard. Not even Demon's Souls-rewarding-hard. More like, 'there is a random super difficult bandit hidden in a bunch of easy bandits that keeps randomly killing my mage and I have to spend 15 minutes just walking back to this spot on my reload' hard.

Conclusion: I need to not be a Mage anymore. I'll try Mystic Knight or something with armor.
And considering my backlog, I'll probably never beat this. Which is sad. I still kinda like it though. It's just... kind of soulless right now.

[miladesn]

anyone else really love the inventory design in this? I like it because it works so fast, you push back/select, menu is up instantly, everything mostly has it's own distinguishable icon placed in grid view, navigating is very fast, giving items to other members is very fast. I never had trouble finding something I was looking for, it doesn't take more than a few seconds. Dumping all the stuff I picked into the storage is really fast too.

Comparing this with Skyrim, you press B then left on Dpad just to bring up the menu, then you have to go through a long list of boring names a couple times to maybe find the thing you picked up earlier. Dragon's Dogma's isn't perfect but I really like it just because it's fast and you spend a lot of time in there.

[Anteater]

One thing I wish you could do is being able to equip a piece of equipment right from the inventory instead of having to choose "move to equipment" first
