Dragon's Dogma Demo Impressions

It's a good thing this doesn't have a consistently shit framerate then! It only drops at times to 18-ish. A mostly stable 24-25, while not ideal, is not shit and more than playable.

I found the demo on PS3 to be unplayable (not literally, but because I refuse to play games with a framerate that awful). Thankfully the 360 version was solid. I think we've covered this 100 times now though.

In the stream they just said that they will confirm NG+, but beyond that we will just have to wait and see for ourselves. All this tells me is that there are some nice surprises in store for us. You could sort of tell that is what they were alluding to.

Hopefully that's the case, maybe it's related to story and it has to do with the whole choice and cycle theme of the game, not really expecting big changes they claim the world will have with your choices, but there could be minor surprises. The problem with many of the stuff is that journalists don't really hint or talk about this kind of stuff, they're mostly talking about base mechanics that we already know about, and also I don't mind leaving some surprises for me to find out, since they've spoiled quite a lot of stuff already.

I guess I'll have to take their words for it. I just really want to know about balance and difficulty

Is it really safe to judge the framerate/tearing based on the demos? I thought it was supposed to not be a final build.

I found it pretty distracting on PS3 but I really prefer the controller for action games. Bayonetta was the one game I just dealt with it because the 360 version was so superior.

Still voting for |OT| Pawn Stars ;p

Judging it based on the fact that all the PS3 videos from the preview copy are just as bad as the demo (framerate and tearing).

Just playing through the demo for the twentieth time and found "The Conqueror's Periapt" in a chest behind the rock formation to the left when you start on the second mission.

Gonna look for more!

Dragon's Dogma lOTl You Damn Dragons, Get Off my Pawn!


Meh, I still prefer my first one: Stop Dragon My Heart Around

Lol. I like yours. I have a feeling I'm gonna be saying that a lot...cuz I care about my pawns.

And, yeah, the first one is pretty good. Makes me think the dragon that steals your heart is just running around doing stuff with your heart.

I think he's digesting it. Damn you, dragon!

Is your heart a marble? A poop-sifting quest would be a good one. World of Warcraft has one.

Maybe. I dunno. Dragon took my heart before I got to look at it. =D

But in all seriousness...I dunno, I just can't wait to play this. I hope the OT is awesome.

Nice, cut it down to size ;)

Baconsammy reminded me of a good idea:

or

Yes! That's what I'm talkin' bout.
 
I'm amused with how the titles just become more and more blatant with each passing reply. It's legitimately funny.

Just noticed, you get a $10 amazon credit for buying from them too, along with the weapons pack.

That $10 credit wasn't there before, thanks for the heads up. Had $10 credit from the buy $5 get $5 so now I just have to pay another $50 and get another $10.

so what's the version to get? I have both consoles and a super computer, wish it would come out for PC. Maybe i will save my money and hold out.

I believe the PS3 version has a lower framerate but 360 has a (hell of a lot) more tearing. Whichever you prefer, really.

I don't think a PC version will come out any time soon, I believe in one of the interviews it was said they have no interest in one - the pawn system was proving to be difficult for the PC etc. and that sort of nonsense.

If Soul Calibur, etc, are any indication there might be a separate thread for pawn exchange.

EDIT: I'm not sure if it is worth digging up my list of OT subtitle names at this point, lol.
