Capcom is Wise and Dumb
Tue Sep 29, 2015 7:11 am
Well I'd been surfing the web for a while looking up some of my old favorites, and whether they would have a sequel or remastered edition. Capcom is notorious for releasing some of their more console-oriented titles on PC, but not consistently.
The Wise:
Well it appears they are adding onto their list of PC games, because they announced earlier this year that they intend to release Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (includes base game + expansion) on PC. I'm very excited as I've had over hundreds of hours of play, and I'll go as far as to say I liked the game more than Skyrim (on PS3 anyway), and perhaps even Dark Souls. Given the time with the PC community I don't doubt that its gameplay elements could rival both of those two popular titles.

What I anticipate more than the release is the modding possibilities, and the wonderful high resolutions the game can be played in.
I have a few screenshots (quality is less than should be) of my time in Dragon's Dogma (Dark Arisen), and they feature different classes for the main character (Arisen) and his allies (pawns):
Yes they game was buggy, and it was an unfinished product with its rushed release. The franchise still has potential, and with it coming to the PC I expect great things to happen.
The Dumb:
Unfortunately there's something else in the works, and its Dragon's Dogma Online. Everybody panic! They're saying it'll be free-to-play, and I'm worried it'll become a micro-transaction infestation. A medieval Battlefield [Hardline] with a medieval Destiny-esque ploy. Except that the story will probably be substantially better, but you get the idea. I'm not excited for the MMO-adaption of Dragon's Dogma, but perhaps they can surprise everyone. Maybe this is an attempt to introduce competition with the Elder Scrolls Online. Both of those franchises (Elder Scrolls being the more developed - obviously) didn't make online features a big idea (besides the pawn-sharing system in Dragon's Dogma), and it'll be interesting to see what one is better, or the features each provides or excludes.
