Dragon's Dogma 2 on Steam

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG that challenges the players to choose their own experience – from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more - in a truly immersive fantasy world.

I've likely sunk over a thousand hours into Dragon's Dogma/Dark Arisen on the PS3 and around 350 more on the Steam version and after it was announced years ago that the official DD2 was going to be an MMO/Japan-only release, the fans were let down. However, it looks like Capcom is coming back to the roots and making an actual sequel to the game. No release date yet and the details are scarce at the moment, but this is likely to be the game where I might break my "no pre-order" rule.

Picked up DD in the winter sale and plan to sit down with it when I have some open time. Capcom has been doing good work listening to fan feedback and keeping the pulse of their core gaming demographic, I figure DD2 will likely be a solid entry into the franchise (having never even played the first one).

DD is a solid game. They really improved it a lot over the years. DD2 is on my radar for sure. Thanks!

The original is on sale right now for $5 on Steam

There's a lot of nuance to the game and I highly suggest you grab the expansion Dark Arisen as well since it adds a ton of end-game content. It's a little slower than other action RPGs but the game is incredible.

You can't actually buy the original version on Steam anymore, only the game + Dark Arisen. So it's probably the version he already has.

Even better. I've actually been wanting to load up my game and see how my pawn has been doing since I last played. She had pretty much perfect stats and the best primary, secondary, and tertiary alignments and would get hired all the time but it's been quite a few years since I last played.

The last time I was playing, I was talking to a few people who were trying to make a randomizer mod for the game, but they stopped working on it after a few months. Which was a real shame because that was going to be the mod that kept me playing the game - being able to run into a Gore Cyclops out in the wild or finding any kind of gear in chests would provide a really fun challenge. Guess the game never garnered enough attention to attract a good modding community.

-Yep, have the edition where it's all packed in. Good stuff.

Hit me up when you get around to firing it up. I can take your pawn on a nice field trip for some quick bonuses or vice versa.

Blood And Wine before anything else though, so it'll be a while

Edit: Base game is less than $5 on steam right now. If the game looks even remotely fun to you (it is incredibly fun for an action RPG) then I highly suggest anyone pick it up.

New look at some gameplay footage from Capcom. Looks like there's new weapons, vocations, and a lot more added to the game that we've asked for many years ago with the first one but whether or not this is just pre-1.0 footage fluff remains to be seen. Either way, it looks good so far.

For some reason Youtube isn't linking at the correct time for me, so if it's wonky, DD2 starts at 20:29.

RELEASE DATE SET FOR March 22, 2024.

NEW TRAILER

Edit: For those of you who enjoy couch games, the developers have stated this is going to be very similar to the first game in that they built it with a controller in mind, but keyboard/mouse will have the same functionality as the first game when it was ported to Steam (ie. better aiming and hotkeys). I'll likely play this one with a controller just because of how easy the first game played with a controller, but I did enjoy being able to manually aim my Magic Archer with a mouse and having extra hotkeys.
