I tried out the Dragon's Dogma demo. It is pretty good but I hate the black bars that are constantly on the screen, it restricts your visibility of the area around you, I hate it. The combat is cool. It's a bit like Dark Souls mixed with a hack 'n' slash game. The character/pawn editor is really well done too, you can make a really fucked up character if you want to.
The boss fights are done extremely well, in the demo you fight a chimera (I think) and a griffin. Personally, I thought the griffin fight was a lot better but the chimera fight was fun as hell too. Also, this isn't an easy game, no no, you really have to watch your health since tiny goblins in groups can kill you if you aren't careful. Use healing items a lot.
The looting is a bit stupid though, most of the time I don't even notice any sort of loot, they should highlight it or something, not just make it a tiny object in the ground and pressing the B button at the right time.
Looks like I'm gonna have to pre-order this, the demo really convinced me.
