Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma is a terribly divisive game. That’s evidenced well enough by the 200 or so people who disagreed with Garth’s assessment of the original game three years ago, with insightful comments like “What the Smurf? You give this game 4/10. You Lion-O Bravestar Freakzoid! Go play COD He-Man,” only I’ve replaced the nasty words with characters from 80’s and early 90’s cartoons.
It was given a bit of a makeover and a re-release, coupled with an expansion a little while later in Dark Arisen, which improved on a number of things – but still wasn’t what I’d call a good game. The game has been confined to consoles – but that’s changing. Those of you who’ve not been able to play the game and make up your own minds, because you’re PC gamers, will finally get the chance to play one of the last generation’s most Marmite of games; something you’ll either love or hate.
Capcom’s announced that Dark Arisen is coming to PC.
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.
Are any of you Dragon’s Dogma fans?

Well, it was not a bad game. I played it, mostly. Spent many, many hours on it, until the annoyances just got too much for me. I think I got about 70% through.
A lot of good in the game, BUT I do not like the “Drivatar” pawns, that I can grow and stuff and can then be enhanced and used.

I suggested this game to a couple of my friends and they loved it! And the keep say… ‘Spirit you should totally get it!’ or ‘Spirit why haven’t you gotten this yet?’. And my answer will always be… I’m a poor mans gamer you buttnut!
Anyway jealousy issues aside I still haven’t played this game but would like to… Maybe now that it’s coming to PC I might consider getting it!

Holy hell… Just…all those comments… and the insults… I…I don’t know what to say really… Also, a review is a reflection of ones experience, a bug riddled, useless AI chunk of a mess on a console nogal… just wow…..
