PC Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC this January!

[Arkonov]

edit :

Well met, Arisens! Here, have some awesome news:

As of January 2016, the epic fantasy action-RPG Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen will be available on Windows PC for $29.99 / € 29.99 / £ 24.99, with full Steam platform support. Huzzah!
In case you missed it on console, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is an awesome, inspired, sprawling fantasy game set in an open world, where players create their own unique character and supporting, AI-controlled characters known as Pawns, which can be “rented” and shared online by other players. Battle giant mythical beasts, master a variety of distinct vocations, and explore atmospheric dungeons to uncover endless items and loot.

The PC version will feature stunningly high-res graphics and improved fidelity, as well as support for both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers, as well as a traditional keyboard and mouse control scheme. - Source

I was thinking of getting it ever since i've bought a ps3.

Will wait and play it on my PC now. Great news for PC gamers

 

[MadDemon]

Never Played It, but wanted to download and play it on PS3 now gonna tear it on PC (sm1)

Good, now I can finally give this another chance with a stable framerate and hopefully remappable controls. Hype!

I've heard much about this game. I'll see first hand what all the hype was about. From what I've seen in the videos on YT, the game looks like an easy version of a far less gloomy Dark Souls. I hope it looks graphically much better than the videos I saw.

I have it on PS3 but never got around to playing it. Will play it on PC now.

Only heard of the name in passing. Guess it'll be worth checking out.

DD's a more traditional RPG than Dark Souls. The only comparison is the camera angle, accurate hitbox detection, and some of the UI. There are some things about the game that I didn't like.

Like how you can only have one load file (no multiple toons to play around with at once), level based damage thresholds (throwing toothpicks at lvl 12, unleashing the Gate of Babylon at lvl 14), multiple kinds of different items that aren't even different in potency (carry more grass than a hood rat), horrible quest system (get locked out of being able to complete quests for doing random shit or progressing the story), and such.

These might be minor issues but they ate at me all throughout my playthrough until I just stopped playing. But hey, I put quite a few hours into it. So it's not all bad.

Never got around to completing it either.... for much of the same reasons highlighted by TCG... the combat system was nice, but i really didnt care for the pawn system.... first off, they looked fucking horrible.... secondly, their AI wasnt that great... i remember going down to some dungeon or some shit and the enemies there were weak to light.... so i equipped my pawn with light spells, and that fucker didnt use that spell once in the entire duration of that fucking dungeon.... so yeah, some really strong aspects, and others not worth mentioning.... a real 50-50 game

i do hope the worlds will be somehow linked so i can use my old Pawns

hah..its Capcom bro..not gonna happen

easy no..less gloomy sort of. While Dark Souls build its own mythology with messed up creatures and all, this goes to the more traditional types of enemies. Ogres, goblins, bandits etc. As for graphics, im pretty sure the max they will do is upscale the resolution while all the other assets remain the same. Japanese devs cant port worth shit on PC

You forgot one more important thing:

"WOLVES HUNT IN PACKS!" ~pawn, for the millionth fucking time

"Tis' a troubling foe" ~ Hurt from fall damage.

 

[Arkonov]

Updated OP with new shit, $30 seems like a good enough price and game looks decent in those up-ressed shots.

"Tis' a troubling foe" ~ Hurt from fall damage.

Gravity is a pretty troubling foe, the pawn wasn't wrong.

 

[TrueCoolGuy]

I feel like it should be cheaper. I got DD: DA for like $35 when it came out. It's been 2 years since then.

Gravity is a pretty troubling foe, the pawn wasn't wrong.

This is one of those games that likes to believe "Time spent in the air" = Falling. So be careful trying to climb awkward geometry to save time, you'll get stuck in mid-air and then you're fucked. Also, the edge of every cliff has been seasoned with grapeseed oil.

It is cute to see people getting excited here on PG for this late port. I mean I was the one who defended this game to death back when it was released, which it received a lot of criticism here .

It is definitely one of my most favorite Action RPG from last generation. I am really happy it is finally getting a proper release on PC since I would love to return to it in 1080p and 60 fps. I won't hesitate in getting it on PS4 too. Hopefully it can be released there too leading to DD 2 on PC, PS4 and XBO.

Well founded criticism probably.

P.S. We find you cute too~
