Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Steam pre-order is LIVE

I found photos I took of my original characters back on the PS3 version.

I'm looking forward to making something totally new this time round.
 
Whats the big deal about this song, isn't it just a intro thing?

the song basically was a joke at first, many thought the tone didn't fit the game at all. But the more you played the game, the more it grew on many to the point it's now genuinely loved by the folks who played the original prior to the expansion. The love became even stronger when Dark Arisen expansion came out and they changed the song, which gave it the 'nostalgia' factor. More years pass by, more folks play the game and listen to the song. To the point it has become a meme of sorts for the title, alongside the pawns. It doesn't hurt that's it's a cheesy song with a catchy rock tune.

It might only be an intro song, but do you really want to play the game and not know what's it like to be just like a dangan?

When the game released it was very polarizing and just generally an atypical song for the genre so it stuck out. I think the hate it got kind of galvanized those who did enjoy it into pretty staunch dangan defenders.

Edit: ugh too slow.
 
Hi!

Could I run the game maxed out 1080p60fps using i5 4590 gtx970 8Gig 1600mhz thank you!
Easily.

Which class is more fun, Magic Archer or Assassin?
That depends on
you

The original version (not just console, but pre-Dark Arisen) had a really shitty jrock song for the title screen music and for some unfathomable reason, GAF goes apeshit over it. It got worse when Dark Arisen replaced the music for something less ear-bleedingly bad.

Ils sont fous, ces Gaffers.

Edit: damn now I kind of want to make Asterix and Obelix...

Eh, it helps that Dark Arisen's intro music is pretty annoying without even being interesting.

TL;DR Stockholm Syndrome
 
Ugh, wish I could play this on PC. Kinda tempted to dig it out on PS3 and play again. Hope all you PC folk really enjoy it.

Also, hoping the Dangan mod surfaces quickly. ;o
 
Thought this was decent on PS3, but only played a few hours because of the terrible graphics and performance. Really was the epitome of vaseline smeared visuals. Looking forward to trying it again.
 
I like B'z, I would belt out some of their songs at karaoke but the notes are just a little too high for me to sing comfortably. Doesn't stop me sometimes when I've had too much to drink. Dangan has always been fun to me, and Dragons Dogma is lacking in personality in a lot of ways, so an out of the ordinary j-rock song helps!
 
Pasting this in here as it'll save headaches later on, from a discussion in the Steam group:

There's currently a bug in the game related to how the input boxes for character and pawn names handles default keybindings.

When editing your character or pawn, you will be forced to visit another screen to enter the name of that character or pawn. It will receive input from your keyboard, but the backspace button is tied to both "delete last letter entered into input field" and "go back to the previous screen". So if you enter in a letter you don't want in your name, hitting backspace will both delete that letter, and back you out of the character naming screen. This would be fine if not for the fact that the game will also assume your character is done and named, so if you accidentally back out of the screen leaving the field blank, it will default your character name to one of the preset names.

Basically, if you're going to mess up the name on either your character or your pawn, don't mess up the first letter, because if you do, you'll have to start the game over again

I just liked it since it seemed to fit with something you'd hear from a "serious" fantasy anime intro. Like Claymore or Beserk.

EDIT: Indestructible just doesnt fit period. And the guitar solo part of Into Free is actually pretty good in itself.
 
I decided to get a PSHash ready for GeDoSaTo so we could get HUDless screenshots, and not have post processing affect the HUD.

Another fun benefit of being on PC, here is the original 7680x4320 screenshot

Warning - 10MB image here!

And just for kicks, I made a GIF comparing the resolution detail visible in the original console version, vs 1080p as most will play, vs 8K/7680x4320.

Actually Dragon's Dogma PS360 version was 608P not 720P.
 
The game is going to unlock at around 4 am for me. :|

Also, if anyone can make me characters looking like Geralt and Triss, that would be great.
 
If I'm mainly going to roll MK what should my pawn's vocation be?

I played the original up to about level 125 warrior the whole way so I was thinking of passing the giant sword mantle down to my pawn haha...
 
Days? Damm. Much better than i thought. Hope it blows Capcom expectations, game surely deserves it.

well it deserves it, and it could also mean that Capcom considers making a sequel or bringing DDO to the west.

my pawn is going to be a loli warrior pawn who does nothing but smashing crates and tossing rocks at giant cyclops and you're gonna like it

Such a lost for onii-chans, whoooooooooooooooooooooooooo-desu

Good work sir. Now can you try counting how many pixels make up the vagina seam on Madeleine's texture model?
