My brother got me Dragon's Dogma for my birthday.
I'm not too far into it, but so far it's looking pretty good. There's just some issues that bring it down, like the control scheme. It makes no sense, like B is the action button for some reason. It's also really really hard. I'm playing it on easy and yet I can't walk 2 minutes down the road without being attacked by about 20 bandits or monsters or something, and each enemy does loads of damage and they're insanely hard to kill, so it can get fustrating.
The interface is really convoluted too, like the inventory and stuff, but I guess that won't be a problem because you just get used to it. The NPCs are annoying, they help you fight and stuff, but their lines are unbelievably repetative, and they fall down every 2 minutes so you have to go and help them. I can't tell you how many times I've heard my followers say "what a large tree". They do heal you when you get hurt though, which is good.
The game is also really unclear about what it wants you to do, you have to go around all over theplace talking to people trying to find which one has the quest for you. The graphics are probably the biggest let-down though because they're really terrible, because I don't have enough space on my Xbox to install the HD texture pack, so the graphics look like shit. It's really disappointing too because I bet it looks amazing when you install it.
The dragons themselves don't look too amazing, just like normal dragons, but they're so fuc king big that it doesn't matter, they're epic. Again, though, I can't install the texture pack so they look crappy which is really sad. The combat is fucking amazing though, it's just annoying that the enemies are so hard.
Some of the mechanics are amazing too, like the ability to pick people up and throw them. The most fun I've had is picking up random people and throwing them off cliffs and hearing a crack as they faceplant a rock and loads of blood comes out.
One of the most annoying things though is the fact that it commits the videogame sin of having the character stop and take a 10 second breather after your stamina runs out when you're sprinting. You don't have any control over it and when you're fighting enemies you get killed in about 2 seconds of it happening.
Like I said though I'm not very far into it because I keep getting distracted by picking up random people and throwing them off cliffs, so I'm hoping for some epic battles. The problem with the dragons being so big is the fact that when you're fighting them you can only attack their toes which subtracts a little from the epicness a bit, whih is sad. But it doesn't matter because they're unbelievably huge. My character is a huge guy who looks evil as fuck but has a voice like the beginning of that Scooter song that has the really high pitched voice because it's funny. I'm enjoying it so far. It's just really sad because those problems deduct from the enjoyment of it.
