    It's a shame the game didn't take on Diablo's real money auction house thingmajig. I could make a bundle crafting unique amazon pawns for the submissive geeks to buy.

    Make me a Brooks-pawn and I'm giving you all my Rift Crystals. He/she would really serve as a nice rhetorical counterweight to this tiresome ye olde thing the game got going.

    Yeah. The controls just felt sloppy after DkS and while you can turn off a fair bit of HUD clutter, the show remains pretty obnoxiously loud.
    I couldn't get my head around the lock on not keeping me facing the direction of my enemy at first, but I'll get used to it. it's not Dark Souls, but it does look like a good alternative.

    Why have you cancelled your preorder then Raiz?
  • Lock on in a monster killing game by Capcom? Mwahahaha!

    Because I'd buy it and then not play it because of my dreaded backlog.  Makes sense to just leave this one for a bit and pick it up cheap down the line.  Have fun though!  I'll be keeping an eye on the thread to see how you guys get along with it.
    Get schwifty.
  • Played Dragon's Dogma for two hours tonight. Not even scratched the surface but the game has a cracking atmosphere. Enjoyed the combat - even though I only faced goblins and hunted rabbits. The music is awesome. OST please.
  • Gets my vote for worst title music ever.....

    Ha it was fucking awful wasn't it? Loving messing about on the beach, sniping seagulls for their eggs though.
  • I don't know what you're talking about - the music is amazing :) I'm six hours in and loving it. Met a player Pawn on the road called Dawn. She was low level like me, but I recruited her on the spot. She could shoot lightning fom her fingertips. After the mission, I sent her on her way with a fish in her pocket. Her owner will be delighted...

    I've just been hopping across rooftops pinching people's stuff from their houses and selling it. I should really go and look for those flowers instead.
  • I thought I was picking a midget halfling type person in my character selection screen.  Turns out it was a child.  Currently running around the little seaside town and it feels like a bastard child of Zelda and Dark Souls ish..

    Holy shit please let this be true
  • It just occurred to me that I'd be 100% more likely to play this if it looked like FF12, which is a bit miserable.
  • It all seems a bit odd to me. Essentially riffing on Monster Hunter, but in a Western friendly way, when it seems evident that a 360/PS3 MH would sell like hot balls.

    I have it sat on a lovefilm list for a dabble.

    I'll probably give the demo a go and pick it up sub £20, looks like something I could go in for.

    Cheers for the offer though! Too many games on the backlist as is, and about to start the new Batman :)
  • God, i heard it was hard but sheesh.

    On the one of the first missions, find lady and then escort cart, ive been on less than half life as you have to consume items or the mage cant fully heal you. And i went up one hill, about 3 yards off the path and was fighting these bandits that took 15 minutes each to kill and killed my pawns in one hit. Then i was getting obliterated on the cart escort, it turned to night, end is inches away, and zombies sprout from the bloody ground. Im finding this harder than a souls game. I think ive at least got that bloody cart to the end now.

    Anyone got a fighter pawn I can lend?
  • @cosmicjellybean Go to the rift stone and add at least one higher level Pawn to your team. I made my way through that section without any problem with a party of four. I think I was lvl 10.

    Just started this, the song that greets you has already made it the most memorable game of the year. How will I ever stop laughing?

    Bloody hell. After Witcher 2 and Max Payne 3 (which are arguably the best looking games on 360), this is ropey as fuck! Doesn't make any sense cause MT Framework is an awesome engine.  :/

    Just restarted cause i got bored of the Warrior class after 20 mins (excl. tutorial), which doesn't bode well. I cannot play a game like this and not be able to roll/evade. Strider it is then.

    Aye it could do with a roll. Loving my Strider though. Just got to a huge town, it's roof clambering time again.
  • Im finding this harder than a souls game.

    That's killed it for me then :(
    It wasn't until I hit my thirties that I realised you could unlock rewards by exploring the map
  • It's definitely not as hard as Dark Souls - at least in the opening seven hours. It's all about tailoring your skills and choosing Pawns to compliment your playstyle. I have a mage, a sorcerer and a warrior. I hang back raining arrows down on the foes, my tank goes toe-to-toe, while my magic users unleash merry hell from a safe distance. They also buff my weapons depending on the situation. One of the Pawns I picked up has knowledge of how to defeat certain enemies and he's proving to be a big help out on the open road. I'm not that far in, but my experience so far has been enjoyable.

    Nah, I did that cart escort at level 8, with the level 6 pawn you start off with and a level 5 fighter and it was a piece of piss. I haven't even come close to dying. Mind you, I am affraid of the dark.

    Is the search pawn working for any of you? It never brings up any friends pawns even though I have a couple of you on my list.

    For top lols, leave the controller alone for a few seconds and see what happens.

    It does have a roll, that's why i changed class - its an unlockable for the Strider.

    Not come across it yet, level 13. Are you sure it's a Strider unlock and not a Ranger or something else?
  • I'm in a group with two of my friends' Pawns and I managed to find them OK - although everything just got a lot tougher. I'm in corridor with a hulking great ogre, who can kill me in one hit...

    Sparky down! Cut in half by a poxy bandit north of the huge city. 

    I probably wasn't helped by the fact that I changed mine and my pawn's vocation at the same time, but couldn't afford a new weapon for both of us so she's going bare handed at the minute. Hardly any skills cross over too, despite the fact that I concentrated on the archery ones and became a Ranger, who specialise in archery. Odd.

    Anyway it's been very enjoyable so far.

Howdy, Stranger!
