Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

As flawed and incomplete and rushed as this game is its still one of my favourite video games of all time. There is just so much love and creativity in it that just doesnt exist in todays world. They dont make em like they used to. Most of my playtime was spent in the Bitterblack Isle what a legendary and iconic endgame dungeon.

This is a game where I can control everything, including my character and my crewmates, allowing me to balance the team. This is an absolutely fantastic feature. And let me tell you about the huge and fun world—a truly unique and enjoyable RPG world. The character design is the best part. The weapons, upgrades, and designs, especially the monsters, are incredibly advanced. Even the bosses are stunning; it's the first time I've seen such beauty with my own eyes. This is the first time I've truly enjoyed a dango like this. Thank you so much!

Melhor que o segundo pelo simples motivo de rodar em qualquer batata com hardware de 2011. Não é jogo pra peão, nem pra baitola fã de narrativa e muito menos pra casual, pq ele não tem tradução oficial, a narrativa é só plano de fundo pra justificar o que tá acontecendo e o foco é 100% gameplay. Não é um jogo que pega na sua mão e te guia todo mastigadinho, ele só diz onde vc tem que ir e vc que se vire. Por exemplo, o sistema de pawns, que é um membro fixo da sua party que vc mesmo customiza tudo nele, inclusive o comportamento da IA, e pra isso vc usa poções pra ajustar, sendo um dos sistemas mais complexos e contraintuitivos possíveis. O jogo não faz questão nenhuma de te explicar como funciona: ou vai atrás ou tem que aguentar o boneco tomando decisões mais estúpidas que um brasileiro médio. Agora se você só quer um RPG pra se divertir, ficar re-zerando com ng+ em um dia, ter algum desafio e depois platinar vai em frente, seu jogo.

This game is so good. Playing on Hard is extremely challenging and rewarding. Combat is superb and world building is awesome.

Это очень крутая ролевая игра, которую я прошла два раза на консоли и начинала третий раз в Стиме, потому что за повторное прохождение дают какие-то награды, и хотелось все собрать, и у квестов есть разные концовки. Но самое классное здесь - боевая система, которая требует залезать на больших мостров и бить их в определенных местах, как в Shadow of the Colossus, и можно, например, зацепиться за дракона, и он взлетит вместе с тобой. Тут красивый мир с живописными пейзажами и глубокие атмосферные подземелья. Разные классы под разный стиль игры, богатая кастомизация внешнего вида, мне нравилось собирать броню просто для красоты. И здесь продвинутая система напарников, у них есть какие-то черты характера, кастомизация тоже глубокая, и можно ими меняться с другими игроками. Про сюжет помню, что он мрачный и депрессивный. В общем, пишу обзор, и мне захотелось еще раз игру пройти. Надеюсь, когда-нибудь доберусь до второй части.

Third time playing the game. It was fantastic playing the first time around and a solid go-to for when I can't seem to find a game to play.

I really tried liking this game but after more than 20 hours of gameplay I just gave up. [h2] The Bad [/h2] [h3] The World [/h3] It feels really empty. The spawn locations of the enemies are always the same, and with very limited fast-travel options traversing from one side of the map to another (which you need to do quite often) becomes an annoying chore very quickly. You keep visiting the same few locations, fighting the same 5 types of enemies, over, and over, and over again. [h3] Side-Quests [/h3] 90% of sidequests are some kind of fetch quests. Take something from NPC A, bring it to NPC B. Kill X enemies of type Y and so on. The few ones that have some kind of storyline are surprisingly short and most of the time are really simple. [h3] The story [/h3] At least until the point I stopped playing, the story felt really cliche and predictable. I do understand it's an old game so my opinion here may be a bit biased. [h2] The Good [/h2] - Character customization and specialization. You get a lot of freedom in customizing your character, including stuff like height, weight and so on (which actually affect the gameplay a little, like stamina and carrying capacity). You also get 3 base classes (called "vocations") with another 3 upgraded versions and 3 hybrid ones - so 9 classes in total to choose from, which in my opinion is pretty good for an older RPG. The classes have different playstyles, skillsets and so on, and you can really feel the difference when switching from one vocation to another. - The Pawn system is pretty cool as well. You can customize your main pawn (your main companion) and the process of building your party by adding two more pawns from other players is engaging. - The skills and abilities are flashy, look cool and are fun to use. You can be as badass (or realistic) as you want. [h2] Conclusion [/h2] The game is still really boring. Every time I want to progress with the main questline I instead have to spend a ton of time walking to the other side of the map, fighting goblins, harpies, or bandits just to get a 5-minute battle with a cool boss. The game DOES have enjoyable, fun moments, but they are spread out and between them there's a vast nothingness of boring, repetitive and unrewarding gameplay. You can try buying Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen during a sale (I don't recommend paying full price) and maybe you'll enjoy it, as after all, it is a popular game with a big fanbase, but nevertheless be prepared to be disappointed after about 10-15h of playing.
