      The creator was given a choice as to what game to do first. DMC 5, or Dragons Dogma 2.
      He chose to do DMC 5, but said that the next game he wants to work on more than anything is Dragon's Dogma 2. That is why there is a sudden resurgence of the title

    Dragon's Dogma is one of the most underrated games of all time, and possibly the single most underrated game from the last generation of consoles. The world design, atmosphere, and sound are nearly flawless. The 3rd person controls and camera are silky smooth perfection. The monster designs are fantastic and greatly varied, with the AI being aggressive and tough. The pawn system is very innovative and works well, so long as people are still currently playing the game on whatever platform you choose. The only major negative is the terrible shallow generic story, but it's more of a hack-and-slash adventure game than a deep RPG. Highly recommended to anyone on any system.

    One thing I love about this game (playing on PS4), is the realistic daylight. I know many games have amazing lighting, god-rays etc. but for me, few seem to really nail what actual daylight looks like. In DD, I can almost feel the warm sun, or oppressive cold of night. ICO did the same for me with regards to that feeling of actually being outside. More developers should learn from this (IMHO).

    _Dragon's Dogma_ is infuriating, because it was soooo close to being a peerless masterwork. Its so much going for it; dynamic and atmospheric open world, _Shadow of the Colossus_ style combat scenarios, and a HUGE amount of customization in terms of both your characters' appearance and play style. With a slightly stronger story, better voice acting, a bit of health/damage balancing, and a myriad of other little tweaks, this could've been easily been one the all time greatest RPGs.

    Dragons Dogma remains my favorite game to this day, and I'm just happy a new generation has a chance to try it. Though many of it's systems have not aged well, and switch players don't have the option to mod away the annoyances. I hope that doesn't stop new players from appreciating the game. But I do suspect that this port is intended entirely for old players and possibly as promotional material for the rumored Dragons Dogma 2.

I can not think of anything else right now, it has been a long time since I played.
      But there is a New Game Plus mode where you start a new game and keep all your gear after beating the game and the monster will be stronger, different loot and nights will be hell. NG+ is really hard, like really. The ranger is my favorite class since you can climb on monsters like LOTR and I have rarely seen any other game with that combat system.

    Ahh Dragon's Dogma, haven't played this in a good while, I remember really enjoying it.
    Most memorable moment was the surprise I got when testing some new pawns, one of which was a high level sorcerer, I entered a battle and out of nowhere huge meteors started raining from the sky followed by a sudden need to change my underwear, probably the most epic magic effect I've seen in a game.
    And don't worry, I ended up using that spell quite a lot and on average the spells deal way more damage to enemies than it does to your underwear.

    I wonder how many times I will end up replaying this game, considering how many times they've grown to re-release it. Seriously, X360 version, PS3 version, PC Version, all at least had one full playthrough of it, the only thing that bothers me a bit besides how the damage formula works (basically doing little to no damage if your threshold isn't above a defense attribute from what I remember) and the sidequests, you can miss out on a lot of them by completely accident by progressing the main story, as it moves in sort predetermined steps, which is a little sad because they flesh out the story of some of the supporting casts more than just a little, there are places on the map where you'll be hard pressed to really go into if you're not doing their quests, most locations have at least ONE quest tied to them too and have events intertwined, and those may be lost because of that.
    But then again, the game's main story isn't thaaaat long, what usually takes some time is the combat, and the game kind of welcomes replayability, even giving it's own story a complete nod on a second run, it's just one thing that annoys me well enough that I usually have to keep a guide around just not to miss them, because it's hard not to sometimes, but BESIDES ALL THOSE THINGS.
    I absolutely adore this game and very few other action rpgs make you really feel the growth between a puny adventurer getting their shit kicked in by a hobgoblin with a stone to completely wiping out their camps with meteors 20 hours or so later, or one shotting that one troublesome chimera on the forest with one well placed thunderous blow to the face, or firing so many arrows in sequence with explosives attached to them to something that their health bar just instantly melts...
    In short, this game is the hardest and bestest when it comes to giving you a power fantasy, once you get going, you never STOP going and even the hard battles will be a stylish romp to death with the game's deadliest foes, and then of course, after the main game is over and you can rest is the now meaty postgame content, there's Bitterblack Isle, just waiting to make the inner D&D player inside you sweat with how much hard hitting the enemies and bosses in it tend to be, and how it's unique mechanics invites and (literally) welcomes DEATH itself into the battlefield as if it was just a normal ocurrence for a place so cursed with plagues and death that it might as well be renamed "Death's Humble Abode, also fuck anything alive that dares thread in here".
    I loooove this game and I'm glad this version is yet another good place for people to play, the more Itsuno's games get their just dues, the more reasons Capcom has to give the man more support to make them even better.

      I think the issue with dragon's dogma 1 is that quests and characters just aren't too engaging, and variety in objectives itself isn't that high. While story missions themselves are fun and engaging the open world always felt like they were given enough time to give it proper love. Like most first games in a series it's amazing gameplay is held back by not having enough to actually do with that gameplay. If I can also add a while I think the enemies themselves are great and all are fun to engage with they could use a five or six more enemy types in the standard world. Dragon's dogma 2 when that finally comes out cuz I doubt they're going to let the series die truly, will likely step up in almost every single way and I am here for it!

The beginning is too much of a pain in the ass to play, unvalanced leveling system, and the higher difficulty settings for some reason lowering your stamina.

Definitely a worthwhile story and gaming experience in my opinion. Super deep character content to mine, outside of running amok in the wild (although even then, after turning points in the story, the conversation seemed to naturally evolve), which I always found interesting.
    The battle mechanics of Dragon’s Dogma has held my interest for quite some time, as well as gameplay dynamics. For the price point it seems excellent. Every comment has something positive to say! It is nice. Still on the fence, yet thanks much for taking so much time to provide feedback on your experiences.
