Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

First Impressions = Awful

Laughable, and not in a good way. I didn't have massive hopes, but I just don't understand what people are seeing in this. It looks terrible, but I can let that slide. It feels clunky which is a bit of an issue. Opening story and voice acting is uncomfortable to say the least. The scenes don't 'flow' and feel disjointed. Bad audio levels as well, if i'm honest not sure what was going on, and found it hard to care for any characters. The in-game menu says it supports 2560x1080 (and automatically set this for me) but it not only cuts off the top and bottom of the screen but also some UI. And has lots of weird visual glitches and stretching pixels that make cutscenes un-watchable and playing it makes you feel ill. If it doesn't support this res then don't put the option in the menu. Admitadley only an hour in, but I couldn't take anymore. Bad that in one hour I didn't get much gameplay though. If I manage to stomach some more and it does improve I will rate up, although bad first impressions remain the same.
