Think Oregon Trails in Forgotten Realms

I never played it on console when it first came out several years ago because of mixed reviews. At the time DD was considered something of an oddity; a sort of Eastern look at Western style open world RPGs with some mechanics that were heavily criticized at the time (restricted fast travel). I first played it last year when the PC port dropped. In my first playthrough I enjoyed but wasn't just wowed with DD, but then I began my second playthrough with a self-imposed rule against using fast travel and suddenly the whole game made sense--later I learned that the game was originally designed to be played that way but Capcom had caved to mixed reviews who complained about the lack of fast travel and made it much easier and virtually unlimited to use). With the exception of Souls games, you won't find another action RPG with as many buffs, debuffs, and game mechanics because Dragon's Dogma, despite all its classes, attributes, weapons, armor, and loot, is more an adventurer simulator at heart than an RPG. It’s the Oregon Trails in Forgotten Realms.

Open World RPG with awesome combat

I love this RPG, not for the story, which is 'meh' at best, but for the seriously awesome combat. Melee combat plays like a Monster Hunter game, if Dante from Devil May Cry was available. No comparison to Dark Souls, really, which this game gets a lot of. That game has very limited combat by design whereas this game has a very open system that allows for you to chain together some very flashy combos and what not. Magic Combat can be pretty difficult at the beginning due to your casting easily being interrupted and the pawns not yet being good at aggroing enemies. As you progress and unlock higher skills and augments (perks) magic becomes even more fun as you literally bombard enemies with meteors, earthquakes, and tornadoes (which is both awesome and a hindrance in closed environs). Casting can take a long time even in the end game, so plan carefully when going against some of the more dangerous foes. As for the Dark Arisen dlc, that comes in a massive optional dungeon when you find the game's most difficult enemies and strongest weapons. As far as I know you can challenge said locale nearly immediately, but I would warn you against doing that as even the weakest foes in that place well decimate even mid-late game parties in mere seconds. There is a romance partner in this game, and although only a handful of possible options have unique implications on the story, you can pretty much woe any NPC you come across, even store owners. You can finish this game in a few hours if you really want to (there's even a speedrun mode), but you can also drop long hours if you choose to. Finally. when you beat the game, you can new game + with all them items, equip, exp, etc you gained. This game really has a little bit of everything. Get it.

Ignore the last idiot that said no story

The story is great. It does take a while to get going though. This game is one of the best games I've ever played. Please give it a shot!

Audio not Working at all. Help please.

I can't hear absolutely nothing in game. I have been checking what other people with this error did, and still is not working. Do you know any solution for this? If I can't solve I will sadly ask for my money back. My pc runs win10 64bits, DirectX 12 up to date. Thanks if advance for helping.

Cut the slog and you'd have a good game

On a positive note: the combat is pretty good. Fluid, fast-paced (especially if you're playing one of the faster classes or "vocations"), with the ability to climb big enemies to strike at their weak spots. The climbing itself is somewhat clunky but leads to some truly epic moments. The graphics are pretty good too, with very nice rendering of distant landmarks. The character creation tool is great. Unfortunately, the rest of the game is an ugly, boring slog through a world made out of parts which have been done to death by countless others. Before getting to the main event of actually slaying the dragon (which, to be fair, only opens more high level locations and isn't the end of the game) you will spend hours on your inventory screen, agonizing over which vital items to unload to your party members; tens of hours screaming at your party some variation of "why are you not doing the thing, you've done it before" or "why aren't you picking this item, it's literally right next to you"; countless hours backtracking through places you've been to a hundred and one times. Granted, smart placement of Ferrystones (teleport markers) can save you some of that, but not all. The game world is unoriginal. Pretty much everything you'll see is straight out of western fantasy and while this game is Japanese in origin it doesn't really show the creativity Japanese media are known for. Most of the quests are simple mmo-style "kill x of monster y" affairs, while more developed side quests are predictable, boring and sometimes annoying, forcing you to go on long treks through the world, killing the same bandits and harpies you've killed a hundred times already. They were challenging maybe the first 3 times. If you want a western style RPG made in Japan, play Dark Souls. If you want a big, detailed open world - the Elder Scrolls series. Maybe give this a try if it's on sale, maybe you'll be one of the people who love it! Or maybe you'll join me in the "disappointed" camp.
