Dragon’s Dogma sure does look pretty interesting fusing fast paced combat and gigantic boss fights with Role Playing Game elements. It’s kind of like Reckoning, only with a less confusing name. Anyway, if you’re keen on trying the game out before it hits this May, Capcom are planning a demo in the months to come and here’s a quick description:
Imma send you back to Skyrim
With your party of three Pawns, experience the different styles of two of the game’s character classes in two challenging encounters. A melee specialist skilled in both attacks and counterattacks, as the Fighter you will make your way through underground tunnels and chambers before taking on the deadly Chimera in a Prologue quest, set before the events of the main game. Swift and nimble, the Strider’s weapons of choice are bow and daggers; use them well if you are to defeat the mighty Griffin in the open plains surrounding the capital of Gransys.
You’ll also be able to transfer your character’s progress from the demo into the full game which is always a nice touch. Dragon’s Dogma releases for the Xbox360 and PS3 this May.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
