Capcom never had confidence in the title. They put it through a hellish development cycle (thus almost 1/3 of the game was discarded late in the cycle) and then threw it onto the market with little to no advertising. It's amazing the IP survived... but... that's because -- even unfinished -- it was brilliant on so many levels.

It's the secrets that made this game insanely good. Every box must be opened, every monster must die, every change day/night brought a new experience. The incredible side quests where the game switches tones fast, one moment I'm looking for my missing friend the next I find a witch then I find out the witch is a pawn and secret location and insane loot. I talk to the queen the next time we meet I save her and now I have to rescue her from a castle full of treasure and I get insane items. The game keeps giving, I meet female bandits and if my characters are female they let me go no issues but if it's a male party we have to fight on sight. I explore and I end up facing a dragon out of nowhere and I keep fighting it for 3 hours cause I'm no where near strong enough to face it head on and I kill it.

Don't agree. One of the best action gameplay systems in an early 2010s RPG. Don't think it does anything better than other RPGs of the time in other categories though, certainly not than all other RPGs of all time. Other RPGs have a better claim to that title being better rounded in all areas. Final fantasies, Zeldas, Chrono triggers, Baldur's Gates, Star oceans etc

​@@7dayspkingIt's a shame that CAPCOM didn't invest more in Dragons Dogma when it was first released. If they had delivered the complete experience without budget cuts, it could have been a huge hit. Unfortunately, they missed the opportunity to skyrocket the game's popularity like Dark Souls did. Now that DD2 has arrived late to the party, it's hard to compete with Fromsoft's four new games. CAPCOM would instead babysit/give more attention to their Monster Hunter IP. MHW already has the new-gen mechanics that Dragons Dogma should have had.

Maybe "Action RPG" but not RPGs in general. But besides that, I don't even consider this even an ARPG. There's no real choice for dialogue, and you're really just outfitting your main character and main pawn with gear and changing classes every now and then. It's even less of an RPG than Diablo, which is a series I've *never* considered an RPG. I'd still rank it among one of the best games of all time though. Like I said in a previous comment, it's basically Capcom's older 2D D&D games redone in 3D.

I've owned it since it came out (PS3 I think?). Never really played it. Think I remember the beginning a little, then getting to where you get your first pawns. But for whatever reason, I stopped playing. But you have me at "Everquest"! To me, EQ is THE best game ever released. So many reasons why. But I'd really love to hear how/why it reminds you of EQ. It's kindof rare to see people say, "this game is kindof like EQ, in a way". I've done it. With oddball comparisons to games like Terraria, Tarkov hehe. Terraria because of it's "make your own way gamestyle", also how you sortof have to think "what do I want to do/accomplish tonight" - made me remember how EQ did that. You had to plan before you logged in. With Tarkov, it's the lack of handholding, but mostly because of how it utilizes map knowledge. I remember having to guide people through dungeons in EQ, as well as having to know where certain mobs spawned. Knowledge was power. Same thing in Tarkov.

Everquest didn't hold your hand. You had to yell out for someone find your corpse, so you can drag it out of danger and loot it.. You needed a balanced team or it wouldn't work. If you were an ass, you couldn't find a group. This game reminds me of EQ, because of some of the unforgiving mechanics. Remember the need to kill a beetle for light at lower levels or paying to get a portal. I like that you can use the pawns to simulate the old groups from EQ and little things like bumping into people matter. EQ your race or deity you follow could get you killed. Many deaths in OT as a Bard. Fighting down a dungeon and having the team wipe, only to have to do it again to get your stuff.... And raids with 50+ toons. No red circles under bosses to know they were going to cast. You had to learn fights.@@vhayne91777

Disagree with you on it being the definition of role playing. I only consider it an RPG very loosely, similar to other JRPGs. More of an combat, gameplay, action focused game. Not much depth in character interactions, branching story, characters, questing or role playing. Not as linear as the majority of JRPGs but not as in depth as almost any western RPG in those areas, not even than Euro RPGs which tend to be more limited than American RPGs. Kind of like the opposite of Souls, the sames games are less linear and more open ended than Dragons Dogma but have weaker questing, dialogue and branching. Both are pretty weak though

Where you actually had to "concentrate" on casting your spells and higher tiers of spell. Truly emulating that spellcaster in the backline that the front line needs to protect because the spell will be epic - and indeed the spells were epic!!!

Dragons Dogma holds a very special place in my heart. My girlfriend and I bought a playstation 3 and Dragons Dogma for christmas and up till that point she has been backseat gaming a little bit but it was more my thing. But once we got the ball rolling playing it we just kept going and spend almost our entire holiday vacation glued to the screen and roaming the lands. I've replayed it a few times ever since and it is still an absolutely phenomenal experience. Only gripe I have with the game is that the narrative with the looping and reincarnation comes into play way to late, two friends of mine mentally checked out by the point they reached that and couldn't appreciate it for what it tried to do. I will never forget how my pawn (molded after my girldfriend) clung to a dragon as it rose to the sky and then slammed back into the ground seconds later because she was pummeling his heart. We were roaring and cheering. We've also checked farming spots for specific cute items for her to wear and embraced the fashion souls aspect. And she was always very happy when someone took her pawn on missions and gave her nice ratings. Truly some very memorable experiences have been had.

I still remember stumbling across the PS3 demo like it was yesterday, loading that griffin up with arrows in front of Gran Soren. Having already been obsessed with Monster Hunter and Dark Souls at the time, this game captivated me like no other. Does it have its fair share of drawbacks? Yes. But it still provides an unbelievably rewarding and enjoyable experience every time you play it. Iconic moments like the Great Wall, my first run through Soul Flayer Canyon, following the Elysion into the catacombs or chasing the griffin to Blue Moon Tower for an epic climax to the hunt will stick with me forever. This game is a masterpiece for sure. I cannot wait for the sequel to drop.

I love it, have played though it multiple times on Xbox360 and One X, if it came out again on Series X I'd buy it again... It is so deep, the little intricacies you notice after yet another playthrough, the way other pawns help and react to you. It is probably my #1 game of all time. (And at 45, I've played a lot of games... Lol) I cannot wait for DD2 😅! Actually, I might even go and play DD:DA again! 👍

The potential and interesting ideas were there for sure...its really fun combating monster in various way, and you can really manuever the world however you want, plus randomness in the world especially that dlc island dungeon. My complaint back then were if trying to min max stats its really a hassle changing class every time its near level up, not to mention the reload when you forgot it is time to change class..

DD isn't the best game of all time for me but it's definitely my favorite RPG of all time ! I just started playing it this year so it's sure to say I wasn't biased and put it into a strong competition with old classics as well as modern RPGs.

I've been playing video games for a long time since Morrowind came out on pc. Since then i've put so much of my life into playing pc games. After playing through Skyrim i heard of Dragons Dogma and never played it until years after its release always seeing it on sale on steam. Finally decided to download it and play it and left a huge impression on me. I can't explain why i love this game so much but ever since playing through the game and the expansion i've been a die hard fan. I think it's the challenge, the adventure, the story, the gameplay, the pawn system everything meshes together to create a perfect blend of entertainment. The ending of the base game was so awesome to me.

Answer. Subjective opinion. My answer: No, but it offers some great ideas that nobody else seems to want to incorporate into something awesome. Had blast with it. A little annoyed they removed that epic sound track when Dark Arisen came out. Even the most bad aspects gave this game a charm of it's own. Chatty pawns that talked over the top of one another. Pawns that would provide advice on how to deal with an enemy and then not heed their own advice. Pawns that loved to cast the most overpowered spells at needless times (a scratch requires the biggest heals, and an enemy near dead required a kill stealing mega death explosion). Climbing up a monster's backside because of camera and/or monster movements. The two eyed cyclopses. The frame rate destroying mystic knight. "Harpies!". Absolute wonderful memories! it's a game I am really happy to have played.

It's harder than I remember though, so many mission where I'm like where do I go to find that lol. It's fantastic, Dragons Dogma 2 is already pre-ordered and paid in full.

Sorry but I can't agree. A great classic? Absolutely. One of the best games ever made? For sure. But it can't beat Elden Ring. Disregarding the graphics, there is so much more enemy variety, areas to explore, boss fights, no quests like "kill 30 rabbits" or "escort this dude to the shadow fort". Dude, I love this game, but this is like comparing Grigori (ER) to Alduin (DD)

@@NisAenino yeah and Grigori is better so what's your point? Elden Ring doesn't hold a candle to Dragon's Dogma. Sorry there was no confusing half baked plot about how Grigori was your grandmother or something (that's a Radagon/Merika reference if you didn't catch it) In Dragon's Dogma death makes sense, it's permanent without magic. In Elden Ring? makes ZERO SENSE! why? cause the point of ER is the challenge/ dificulty and to die repeadetly. The story in itself is a jumbled mess and not fully coherent (although thanks to George RR Martin the story is a bit less drivel from the soul series, but not by a lot) DD has a good story line but the only reason people like you don't like it is it's too "mundane" for you. not enough explosions or wild stuff going on to keep your attention. also did you play DD at all? there are loads of enemy variety? goblins, ogres, cyclops, hydra, griffins, drakes, zombies, skeletons, cockatrice, chimera, harpies, ghosts, living armors, death aka the grim reaper??? saurians/saurian sages, stone/metal golems, beholders, wolves, hellhounds, liches, strigoi, eliminator, garm, silver/golden knights, leap worn corrupted pawns and bandits (im sure im missing a few) as opposed to ER? mostly undead soldiers/knights/peasants who wildly swing at you but sure...suuuree. ER definetly has more enemies to fight, for sure...

The game deserves respect and multiple playthroughs because of its sincere and lovely world, gameplay and combat. The game fell short, prior to dark arisen, with the terrible fast travel limitation. The side quest system was also petty and irritating, the main quest wasn't expansive enough and left much to be desired, though it had some amazing moments, I just felt it could have delved into the dragon cult alot more. The failure of Starfield in providing a nourishing exploration world, coupled with the success of Baldurs Gate 3 for the fantasy genre, will herd alot of people into DD2 to refuel that fantasy itch. DD2 is going to blow up. If you can get over the aforementioned, then the game really sits nicely in any top 10 fantasy RPG list.

Dragons dogma is one of two games that I bought twice. I think that says something quite significant about it and how genuinely caught up in the combat system I was. The expansion was concentrated combat and very very little adventuring in comparison to the main game and that made it a great deal better than the original game. I also could see married and never ending the ever fall which was just an unending sequence of fights.
