Been playing Dragon’s Dogma, I never got past getting to the main city when it first came out. I just beat the boss and now the world has completely changed so I don’t think it’s over yet.
I haven’t even touched any of the Bitterblack Isle stuff yet so I’m sure there’s still some stuff left to do.
What do you think of it? I remember when I first tried it on PS3 and thought the movement was too clunky and I just could not figure the combat out. For some reason it just did not click with me, and I ended up dying to even the simplest of enemies.
For some reason I didn’t give up - the world seemed interesting I guess - and I’m glad I didn’t, as one day everything just sort of clicked and I was climbing giant enemies and actually defeating them. I was having a blast and the game just sucked me in after that. It really felt I had bested it, in a way, and was now able to enjoy what it had to offer. Never got around to doing much in Bitterblack Isle, and I remember stopping shortly after the world changed, due to some stuff going on in life back then.
After seeing the surprise (atleast it was to me) announcement of Dragon’s Dogma 2 and the anime, I rebought DD on Steam and am about to start it on my Steam Deck after years of not playing the game. Feels exciting!
By today’s standards, I’m sure there’s a lot that could be improved on in DD but I can wholeheartedly recommend trying it to anyone who hasn’t played it yet. The combat is engaging, the world is interesting and I felt that the game was a breath of fresh air back when it was released.
That was what happened to me too when I first played it on the PS3. I didn’t fully understand the vocation mechanic, I guess I didn’t realize the effectiveness of using certain magics against enemies.
I’ve been playing as a Mystic Knight and blowing up everything with Great Canon and am having so much more fun than I had when I was younger.
