Right...
Have been playing Dragons Dogma (xbox 360) for about 30 hours now...
I can quite honestly say that this is the most exciting new RPG i've had the fortune of playing in ages.
It is the most sublime mix of:
Skyrim
Castlevania
Ghosts and Goblins
Magic Sword
Dark Souls
Etc...
A few examples of my current travels have been:
< MILD SPOILERS >
A Snow Harpy flying through our ranks... I decide to jump up and grab it's feet...
It fly's up over the level... Shit... What do i do... I let go, falling... only to be caught by my Ranger Pawn.... who then sets it's wings on fire using a Fire Blast spell... The Harpy struggles to recover and shambls off into the darkness while i traack it down and smite it with my Mace!
Next up:
My team discover a campsite at night...
is it a bandit or ally structure...?
Well, either way, an Ogre has made himself at home eating the last standing survivers...
As soon as he spots i have a female member in my party (he was busy devouring a carcass before i approached)... He starts jesticulating wildly...
He runs over and grab my Ranger Pawn (Syph), thrusts his red arse to me and runs away towards the cliffs...
My team jump into action and sprint after him where we eventually find him holding Syph by the feet over the cliff face...
I quickly jump onto his back and slowly clamber up in the vein hope of smashing him in the head to release Syph...
Instead he drops Syph and decides to jump back into the gorge... Im now on top of his body as we plunge ever downwards...
I manage to work my way around him in the air and land atop of him in the rift...
His body crumples and my fellow pawns run down the mountain side to revel in my victory!
These are two of many fantastic stories on my travels in Dragons Dogma. For me this game easily outshines many games released this year and is a spiritual gap between Dark Souls and skyrim you probebly will never see again
Please support this bold venture and purchase! :)
