Awesome but can't screens go here in the actual Official thread since the community stuff makes sense to move but screenshots, some that might cause others to be interested in the game, seem to be better suited here.

Yeah, you're right. I'll just make it a PSN/XBL and Pawn sharing thread.

Good stuff. I can't wait to see all the screenshots and stories.

Thanks sir. I really do think the screens in this thread alone have caused people to buy the game and I think that will only continue.
No idea, but that'd be something! Having the various Triple H themes blaring while you no-sell dragon attacks. Creating a Stephanie McMahon and a Shawn Michaels as your pawns.
Things are pretty busy until Saturday, but I can't wait to have time to play the game*.

Anyone with a 150g Slim have any issues with PS firmware 4.11? This thing forces you to update to the "optional" firmware, and I've read about a lot of network issues with this update.

150? I have a 120gb slim (realistically 111gb) And I haven't experienced any of these problems.

Thanks, not too concerned, but the last 360 update bricked my launch machine, so I'm a tad more cautious nowadays.

I haven't had any network issues after updating a few days ago. I did find it strange that it (4.11 firmware) was required to play Game of Thrones though when it was supposed to be optional.
On-topic though, I can't wait to play the game tomorrow. I don't get off work until 6 PM so I'm sure it will be a long day.
I finished customizing the look of my character and pawn via the demo though, so don't have to worry about spending time on that.

You should. I like it. One of the few good uses of the sixaxis functionality. lol

The tearing is so bizarre on 360. It never occurs when you're actually doing anything. Only when you're running through towns/encampments.

Sheeeeit I came in here to aski if it's as bad as in the demo, or if they fixed it.
Goddamnit If I hate anything it's tearing. Is it as bad on the Ps3?

There is no tearing on PS3
There's no tearing on PS3 but the framerate was worse in the demo.
Assuming it's like other 360 framework games, setting the console to 720p instead of 1080p reduces the tearing a lot, but it'll still be present.

So you're a very light weight character? =P

Seems I will be joining you guys a bit earlier than I thought as my order has been dispatched a full 3 days before EU release. Awesome. Pre-ordering pays off.
how can you do that O_O if i had the game now... but no, poor europeans like me have to wait 3,5 more days

My pre-order is currently processing...Hopefully, I'll get it by Thursday!
The music, its "epic" style music, but not generic in the least bit, which is awesome. It actually has a Monster Hunter vibe going for it, where you get this really tense feeling while fighting, and the music builds when the boss monster weakens. Sound design is top notch, huge attacks feel like they have appropriate force, poisonous clouds hiss, and fire crackles nicely. Pretty close with Souls series in this aspect. Harpies death cries are insane.
Yup this is going to be good. The Chimera caught me in it's mouth when I missed a jump, and while it had my leg, I was slashing desperately at it's nose to make it drop me. Going to spoiler block everything else now since i'm past the demo starting point.
How do you use the Arisen you already created though? It just sent me straight to character creation...this wouldnt have something to do with having used the Japanese version of the demo would it?
EDIT: Damn...think I need to redownload the JP demo, write down the specifics of my characters, then jump back to NA retail.
Had fun with the combat system during the prologue area, really does feel like a slower Devil May Cry meets action RPG with a little Monster Hunter.

I had a feeling this would happen. That's why I waited for the US demo to come out before I created a character and deleted the Japanese demo (I only used it to play the missions cuz I couldn't wait). Good thing I made that choice.
Yeah I wish I would've waited since it looks like i'll have to just create my character later this morning. Oh well, at least its not totally lost.
EDIT: Character creation theme sounds like it has a bit of MGS theme in it lol.

lol. I never listened to it that well. Hmm...Might do that tomorrow.

Got my copy today, WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, for parents out there, does this have any nudity/sexual stuff or overally graphic violence early on? Was planning on playing some of this in front of my 8 year old. He thought the demo was awesome.

There's the part where that dragon rips out your heart and has it floating towards him with blood flowing from it
Not a spoiler perse but still I am going to since I might piss off some people.
sometimes it becomes creepy, especially when zombies or other undead appear. Also alot of blood is spitting out of enemies when you hit them. Wouldn't recommend to show this game to children under 12/13 years.

You hate it more than the constant 25FPS on the PS3 and where it can dip towards the 20FPS when in some intense fights?
Tearing does bug some people more than the framerate, yea, I like smoother framerate myself, I do find tearing incredibly annoying when it's consistent, I just got used to it many years of playing games without vsync on pc, but it's just the matter of preference what people prefer.
I wonder if big characters swing faster as a warrior, I remember in other trailers the big warrior types swings with ease, or it could be my imagination...
The GT review shows off some good stuff with that too. It's pretty much the class I never like to play, but I might actually try it at some point here.

I agree but cat's already out of the bag with my son regarding some of that stuff. Like he watched me play Monster Hunter Tri quite alot. He just dug the idea of slaying/fighting dragons and beasts.
Yeah, that's not too bad. Seen that shot and it's isn't grotesque, just sorts of "pops" out, lol
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Personally, I find screen tearing to be far, far worse than framerate dips.
Actually I find all the framerate complaints kind of amusing. You can certainly tell who in this thread has never played and enjoyed an EDF game. :lol
I have a tougher time deciding what I want to make my main pawn, since I want her to be warrior and a mage, which are 2 extreme opposites
All I can say is pick either for her, and just grab a second pawn to fill in the blank.

The V-Sync is a none issue in Dragon's Dogma because it happens so little, and usually when it happens it is in huge fights where the screen is packed with enemies. What do you prefer in fights? A steady framerate where you can stay in flow or be constantly interrupted by annoying framerate dips? I am just saying.
