Should I play Dragon's Dogma, Sup Forums? I've seen mixed opinions around here, just like pretty much anything else, but it looks pretty cool. Also, should I pick it up from Steam next time it goes on sale or would I be better off getting it on PS4 when the remaster comes out? Please answer unironically.

Steam is probably going to be the best version. Probably a bigger pawnbase to choose from, likely cheaper, and there's a couple mods but nothing great on that front. I'd say get it but it depends on what kind of game you want out of it

>Probably a bigger pawnbase to choose from
Can you explain this? Pawns are just your followers, right? How would this vary from one platform to the next?

Well by that I mean there's probably more players on PC than PS4, thus more pawns to choose from. That's not really a difference maker, but each platform has its own set of pawns

Really the only reason to go PS4 I guess is so I'd have it on my 60" TV. I know a lot of people hook their PC's up to their TV's but I don't have my shit set up that way.

amazing game. Highly recommended. 9/10

>9/10
Just for some perspective, name a couple of your 10/10's.

It starts off kind of slow, but once you get to the main town about an hour or so in it opens up a lot and it becomes maybe the best open-world RPG ever made. Also remember that wolves hunt in packs

Ocarina of Time
Dude Sex
Warcraft 3
VtMB for the roleplaying part.

>maybe the best open-world RPG ever made
Morrowind is currently that game, in my opinion. I think the open world meme is way fucking overdone these days and often just waters a game down with unnecessarily wasted time, but a truly great open world RPG is GOAT. How would you say this stacks up against Morrowind?

Dragons dogma is pretty much the bright happy version of dark souls with more rediculous combat and a weird difficulty curve.

Playing hardmode BB is probably some of the funnest combat i've ever experienced in a game and no other game tops its dragon slaying.

Also you can marry loli's and in some versions run around as a Beserk character so weebs can like it too.

Do it. I played it for the first time over the past 3 weeks for about 80 Hours. When I got to the point where I realized the rest of the game would be boss rushes until I got the perfect gear, I stopped.

Here I am, a day later and I am starting all over again, only now I am switching roles with pawn and being the caster/magic nukes. Its a whole new perspective on the game.

I can't believe I left this game on my backlog for so long.

I played this game a lot on ps3 on a tv and honestly i think pc is a better viewing distance for it.

Dragons Dogma has really fun combat and a lot of customization options, but I wouldn't say it has the same degree of exploration. You basically have your tiny fishing village and the big main city, Gran Soren, and then a bunch of wilderness and old castles. I guess it would depend on what aspect of open-world RPGs you most enjoy.

I wouldn't say its a perfect game by any means, but it's probably the best example of a flawed gem that I can think of.

Objectively, it's a deeply flawed and unfinished game that's marred with some tedious activities and it barely has a story. However, it offers a unique experience with its combat, pawn system and character creation. If you're really wary, you could just pirate it and come back later. Test the waters first. The game isn't for everyone but you may just fall in love with it.

I can dig it. It sounds like I'd probably enjoy the shit out of it tbqhwy but I have work and school and plenty of other shit to play so I'll be stingy and wait for a sale on Steam. Might as well.

This is the real answer OP

Also I should mention that the postgame dungeon is basically another campaign in and of itself, with miniboss monsters that can spawn in and fuck you up out of seemingly nowhere and the chance to get amazing loot.

Do you think they will merge the PS3 and PS4 nexus? If the PS4 version does not have the Berserk outfits than it's guaranteed to not happen.

Cross play would be really cool though.

any recommended mods?

no. Unless you are just looking for cosmetic changes, most mods are just cheats or make the game much easier.

Get the hooks and the compilation of mods (basic). You could also get the World Difficulty mod, but be wary of which ones you install. You might just end up fighting 4 Saurian Sages in the well.

attach your pc to the tv dumbass

They're in different rooms though nigga.

Nooooo

You don't have to wait for a Steam sale. It's on sale at GOG right now.

Is that because there aren't really any good modding tools or because there hasn't been any interest in more substantial mods?

The former, the game is a bitch to mod since everything is pretty much locked out. I don't think we could vary the size of monsters and some health neither.

That's good to know. I was considering getting it in the GOG sale, but I was hoping for something with more moddability. I might still get it, but I'll definitely take this under consideration.

Shit for pawn selection though
