I wonder, did you ever try Conan Exiles? People don't usually put that in the RPG category, but I recently started playing in single-player and was really surprised. Besides the building aspect it is a full fledged sandbox RPG. A really good one in my opinion with a cool world to explore. It feels a lot like my modded survival/nofasttravel Skyrim playthroughs at times and I do like the combat a lot.
@@alexutopia it is indeed a really good surprise, but referring to the theme of this video, the main thing if find in Conan Exiles really lacking is a solid combat system. if it have had dragon's dogma combat mechanics, omg i'd play it so much
So... What about jrpgs? That genre is all console, mostly turn-based. But yeh, the term "role-playing" can apply to a great many things, not just your typical baldurs gate style games.
@@HerrFinsternis I'm not into Jrpgs, and while I enjoy irpgs like BG or Divinity, I really wish there were more Bethesda-like RPGs. Open worlds with a ton of interactibility, preferably improved upon with more interactibility and more depth. And of course, first-third person toggleability and complete character customization to the utmost degree possible. And more RPGs need to go the Dragon Age route with alternate starts, but expanded on even more with more options and not just racial in nature, and more impacts on the narrative.
The meaning of RPG has evolved, it's that simple. Want an example? Prove to me that The Witcher 3 is a better "Role Playing Game" experience than any Fifa or Madden career mode. Tabletop RPG is about playing a role, that's it. There are even tables that go for a more theatrical approach instead of the numbers and stats. So yea, basically in Madden you can create your character, live his life, level up attributes, some even have a dialog system. Some sports games are actually more "RPG" than self entitled RPGs.
@HardWarUK Rather it's the fault of the publishers who want to make everything accessible to the masses. RPG was never that. Even console RPGs are keep being dumbed down for mass market appeal. If a publisher says they make their successful franchise more "inclusive" than you can be sure, they plan to exclude their hardcore fans for the normies.
It's because rpg has evolved into a broad genre. It's a good thing if you ask me. There are plenty of ways to narrow your search like specifying "arpg" "jrpg" "turn based combat" "crpg" "open world", etc. It's really no different to how genres like "first person shooter" or "simulation game" work where the individual games within the net can be radically different
Dragon's dogma didn't do everything right, but what it did right, it did it masterfully. The gameplay, the bosses, the pawn system, the night cycle. DD2 is gonna be insane.
I personally don't think that we will have a DD2, because recently Capcom closed Dragon's Dogma Online only because they didn't have more content to offer. Edit: Nevermind, DD2 is launching, (on my birthday btw) and I'm happy i was wrong lol. Already pre ordered!
@@VitaKet It is not confirmed to be in development but the creator plans to continue dragon's dogma with a new main entry after other projects have been finished
@@VitaKet the guy who made DMC5 said that he was given the option of making either DD2 or DMCV, which means that DD2 was on the table and since DMCV has been out for a while now, unless capcom has him on something else he's likely working on DD2 now.
Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games. The #1 game that needs a sequel with a higher budget in my opinion. Polish the combat even more (Particularly even more magic and magic mechanics), and give it a Bethesda style world and interactability, with Witcher storyline and world detail / sense of scale. Dragon's Dogma's world suffered due to the lack of funding, I read the Devs wanted to do more but they were at their limits. Limits that could be satisfied with a sequel... Even if it duplicated the existing game and put a whole new game's worth of development to expanding it.
The good news is that the director plans to do a new dragon's dogma in the next few year's once his other projects are done and out of the way. Dragon's dogma was going to get a sequel sooner but he decided to make dmc first as it had been longer since the last game with it than with dd
It needs to be multiplayer, hardcore like dark souls, maybe with a pvp system, and an actually decent storyline. Dragon's Dogma had a shit story, and the graphics definitely need updating. It would also be pretty cool if they included something like a camping system, more open-world cities and dungeons. Roaming NPCs with dialogue and systems that make the world feel more realistic and immersive. Basically take the combat system of Dragon's Dogma and place it in Skyrim with multiplayer combat and pvp.
That and probably the coolest dragons as normal bosses as well. Talking to you mid fight, casting magic and simply flying up are things that more dragons should do in games. Also the bitterblack boss rush room and the whole dlc in general.
Dragon's Dogma has a great combat system! I'm glad you bought it up, because it's the _only_ "true" RPG I've seen with a free-flowing combat system. Imagine that kind of combat with the writing of Baldur's gate or Dragon Age Origins.
I loved this game, played it to death. This story doesn't quite hold up as well as Skyrim for multiple playthroughs, but the combat, and skill system, is so much better. And the pawns! Both annoying and hilarious.
"Wolves hunt in packs." "Wolves hunt in packs." "Wolves hunt in packs." *sit in Inn. "When doing something, should I speak up when it's important or keep silent?"
You reminded me of a really old game called "Betrayal at Krondor" where the magic system was also stamina-based instead of manna. Another great feature was that once your mage ran out of stamina, you could keep casting but you'd be using your health pool instead.
Lawrence Gillespie that was an amazing and hard game, the first is always going to be the best. The second game was decent enough to play though, totally different game though
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is also criminally underrated. It's almost similar to Dragon's Dogma in some ways, but at it's core plays like what Fable actually should've been. Being able to choose between might, finesse, and sorcery with any combination of two in between, or just doing all three trees at once adds so many layers of customization that I would dare to say rivals Dragon's Dogma's vocations. The mixture of skill trees combined with the fate cards/shifts can make your character feel very personal to you with the fate cards that act as your "class" with their own sets of passive bonuses that compliment your chosen active skills. All of the class combos get upped to the 11 when you decide to build a universalist. (combination of all three trees) Instead of feeling like a jack of all trades, master of none, you're rewarded with a passive making you a master of all martial and magical weapons and more than competent in the three practices, without being completely overpowered. What really hurts the game are inventory glitches, audio/visual bugs, and the game as a whole feeling way too easy, even on the hardest difficulty. Some people would argue that it's too long as well since the core game is actually longer than Skyrim and all it's expansions, but it's an overall satisfying experience.
Truly, dragon's dogma has the most satisfying combat yet. I think you fell short on this video. There are many underlying gameplay features such as how ogres always go and attack womens first , how hydras can swallow you, how chimeras can pin you and ravage you, how Griffins fall off the sky when you burn them, and so on. The lack of enemy variety is equally balanced with the personality and multiple ways to deal with each one of them. Then you have the synergy with the pawns and how you rise your personal pawn. For fighter pawns is always fun when you grapple hold humanoid enemies and your partners come rushing to deal the final blow. How if you fell off the sky they would catch you and save you an unexpected death, how they restore your stamina. Truly, deciding between an utilitarian or a guardian class pawn, was always a tough choice. The is no other magic system that evokes anime feels (ecsplosion) like dragon's dogma. Im still trying to find a game that can scratch that "classic classes feel" (mage, warrior, priest, etc) that isn't a turn based, top down isometric view, or mmo. Even the story that many people say was boring, has its amazing revelatory moments, sadly getting to those moments are very far and between, fighting the dragon and the following cutscene was an exciting twist, and even more so, the ending of the game is one of the most inconclusive ,yet unique, aspects of the game. To me those 2 plot twists saved the game's story to me. The problem with this game is as you stated, the over world is boring and dead or full of things to kill dead and that's all you'll be doing for the rest of the game. The side quest are mostly fetch one thing, escort someone (which I never did cause I once had the dude that changes your classes die on me and I was stuck), or kill things more dead. To me, not a problem since I enjoy more the combat in games than story, to other, the contrary.
I'll never forget when I fell off a Griffin and my main pawn caught me. Never happened again but that one moment gave me a feeling that no other game has given me since.
Happened to me when I fell of the dragon and my big brawny Pawn caught me followed by “are you alright Master?” I had those little anime hearts in my eyes for him after that. Lol
Personally I liked the escort quests, as it's the ONLY game where I felt a need to begin the quest after a night sleep to give me a whole day to accomplish it, because attempting them during the night was, as would be in 'reality', a fool's errand. And having someone vulnerable in your party for the duration really changed how you fought, or avoided, each combat encounter. You bring up some great points, thanks for taking the time to type all that you did.
@@xxTICxxTOCxx Thanks. And yes that's true! Theres some pre planning about it. In my case, it was bad timing! It was morning and I had progressed the story enough to where the Griffin appears. Of course I didnt know that, and the Griffin landed right on top of the inn guy 🤣🤣😤.
Still one of my favorite games of all time and just for the combat and vocation system. I also shake my head when I walk into an inn and my pawns just start smashing boxes. If I role play it right I feel like a no good gang leader about to give an innkeeper a hard time. Otherwise I feel like the worst parent at the toy store.
"What's this???" as your pawn leaps into the fountain in Gran Soren to get a coin, followed up with, "I'm soaked to the bone!!!" Or the charm of giving all your party pick axes, and waiting in caves after a combat encounter while they mine all the ore... "Come on kids, that's enough, we still have work to do."
I played K of A: R again in 2017 and noticed something: ESO, the Elder Scrolls MMORPG has a LOT of similar mechanics. The use of crystals to strengthen wpns & armor was the first thing to catch my eye. Anybody else?
It is really a shame. Spears are soo underrepresent in most RPGs. Even in great Games like Divinity 2 a spear is just another two handed just like your Zweihander.
@@paulpaulmann8873 Seriously! I know of two games that have spears used like spears! Two!! Dark Souls and Morrowind! WHY are spears so absent in games?!
@@paulpaulmann8873 I never understood this! Spears have been the most dominant weapon throughout the history of mankind and they are awesome. How come they are so under represented in games? It's sincerely something I enjoy once I play a game with spears. In the end, I guess in the eye of western pop culture, a spear is not a noble weapon. Just a pointy stick.
@@utisti4976 mount and blade, chivalry, mordhau etc. all use spears and when actual fighting style of spears is a concern to you those are far better representations than morrowind or even dark souls
DMC5 - I beat this game 3 times already on different difficulties and yet I still can't quit! It's simply routine - get back from work, have dinner, change clothes, pray, DMC5 perfect judgement cut the whole mission for hyping and then go play what I play currently.
Ive never played other rpg where I found myself replaying the game 3 times immediately after completing it for the first time, easily 200 hours in, dd is te only game that I played without wanting to stop, unfortunately I'll have to when collage starts. All 9 vocations are different enough and the game has over 100 special attacks, the combat mechanics are extremely complex, there are many playstyles, great loot and enemies to the point where the game just cant get boring. So idk what are you talking about.
DD did something that no one does right: night time! Every day you have to plan out your travel to the location for the quest while also worring about getting back before night time. The idea of planning your expedition and having to worry about the day cycle is something no many games do.
"There is a high chance that an identical combat system just wouldn't work in an open world RPG" Funny that this video was recomended to me just now with Elden Ring almost coming out
What I want most from another Dragons Dogma! -coop (so I can adventure with a couple of friends or assist new players needing help) -more verity in magic! -make two handed more useful ( it felt underwhelming compared to other classes) -more enemy verity -survival mode making you have to eat and drink as a difficulty with harder enemies What do you wan to see brought into a new dragons dogma?
I thought to myself “Dragon’s Dogma” as soon as the video started. Couldn’t agree with you more! I absolutely love this game and still revisit it every few months.
Hell yea, the sorceror spells make you feel like you came really far, like you progressed throughtout the game. From simple fire spells to straight up Armageddon meteors. Hella lit.
I'm a massive fan of Dogma. Less a fan of the souls series but i think it's hard to compared these games in 'difficulty'. Maybe i find dogma a cakewalk because i understand the mechanics, want to grow stronger & can carry 1 million curatives on a well customized party. Demon souls was great but after Dogma came out i immediately lost interest in the 'souls genre'.
I tried dragons dogma and i was very excited to start an rpg i thought i would become obsessed with, but i played a couple hours and got to the the first city/town and couldn't figure out where to go or what to do, so i figured I needed to backtrack because i had missed something but I kept dying to mobs everywhere I went, unable to make it anywhere, so i was completely stuck. I dont like to look at guides, I prefer figuring out games by myself, so it really turned me off to it
@@alexandermilewski7850 The start of the game isn't well explained and it can be easy to miss an important side-quest almost at the start of the game. I'd really recommend checking out a guide like the one on steam, even if only to avoid missing critical quests (looking at you, Quina!!) that impact later areas of the game.
Same here XDD I fell down during a portion in the sewers on Bitterblack and ran into Death with my lantern out cause wet. For me, that was the most fearful moment I'll never forget (being I don't play horror games) with the 2nd one being the first time I ran into that stupid wyrm in the south.
DD would have been an absolute masterpiece with a better open world, maybe also expanding more on the concept of bitterblack isle. Still fantastic game though, spent hundreds of hours playing it
LOL I'm such a fanboy when it comes to this game I have over 3k hours in it, and btw it's nice to see someone else playing a Warrior. Some of the things you can do in this game that are never listed but are absolutely a blast such as if you play Strider and have the skill Mad Dash you use it as you approach an enemy you hit heavy attack your character does a slide tackle and upends the enemy or how if you use Soaring Stone and have a Ranger pawn that has a high inclination to Utilitarian and they will pick the enemy off in mid-air. But the best thing about this game hands down is Boarball. :D
Anyone who loves rpg's (an hopefully the jrpg) as much as the wife and I do deserves our sub :). Very glad a friend of ours told us about the channel :)
@@Hawky2947 which with hindsight, it's kind of doom from thee start - modder basically have unlimited time and resources (given time and interest), a game company will never be able to compete with them on the sheer quality and bigger DLC levell project is probably too expensive
I did the same thing, man. For several hours on many different characters. But then I started roleplaying as Guts from Berserk, and then the game just clicked for me. So good.
One of the best single player RPG games ever hands down. Great video btw, started following you cuz I just purchased a copy of Outward and your channel is the one with the best gaming tips 😂 Keep up the good work mate, I like your style. Keep fresh and interesting. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Imo Dragon's Dogma and Kingdoms of Amalur are two sides of stream-lining in RPG combat system. Amalur gave you all the freedom you want, and in turn it became boring at a point. While in Dragon's Dogma a lot of things are locked behind your play-style by choice and grinding, making the whole thing more cohesive.
the big problem with amalaur was the forced developing stop before polishing the game, because hurr durr must sell, whant money shit from publisher EA, and in the end the game was released completely unbalanced. but it's still a beatiful game. that could have been much better.
The 4 best combat systems in rpgs for me are: Kingdom of Amalur, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Dragons Dogma and The Witcher 3. Just based on my enjoyment of the combat.
one open world action rpg I've found recently that has attained a nice balance between RPG and action is Ashen. It rewards exploring the open world with items that increase our stats as well as the rare and unique items. Think of it like the spirit items in Breath of the Wild. But quests reward better stat increases and additional gameplay mechanics. It also seems like it's taken the dark souls action dungeon crawl format and manage to apply it well into an open world.
Yes I loved that game. It's light in the implementation of souls mechanics, and offers a far more cheerful atmosphere along with it. "Dark souls - the light-hearted edition" so to speak :) And I liked the companions, the simple yet effective approach to them. They kick ass and all you have to wonder about is whether to bring one of the waifu's or stache-bro. There's an expansion now
@@7dayspking throughout the action you help npcs with their own personal questlines, while completing your own and exploring the lands. Progressing quests rewards you with gear options, expands the hub and of course offers tidbits of lore. It's the kind of game you can play for half an hour and feel like you've done something, and then find yourself playing it all day. It's on console now too.
@@7dayspking dark souls has something like it, but also more lore hidden throughout the game which gets that whole investigation thing going you eluded to in that other conversation (still have to respond to that, you said some interesting things there). An action adventure with stats would describe Ashen better because it doesn't really have that, it's a ridealong. Still a good experience.
@@7dayspking which is why we started using the term action-adventure, to describe games like tomb raider and indeed Ashen and to distinguish their genre from the adventure games from the 80s and 90s as well as the full on action games of that era. The differences between a gabriel knight, a tomb raider and a double dragon should be obvious. They all have a story of sorts, yet your involvement is implemented quite differently in all of em.
@@7dayspking 7dayspking myst, monkey island, the longest journey are all very different from each other too, yet we call them all adventure games. Should we chop that up into sub genres? And I didn't mean to imply that the term action-adventure was invented because of tomb raider itself, it was just an example of a game who's genre I thought we wouldn't be debating, that's why I used it. Because it's becoming a bit tiresome to talk about this with you. You find fault with everything. I take things too broad, too narrow, incorrect alltogether etc. It's not a conversation when one of the parties involved is so rigidly holding their oen definitions. Things change and (d)evolve. Over time genres change in their implementation. Get used to it. So here it is, Ashen is a cool game just like the OP said. We both enjoyed it a lot, we suspect others might too. I don't know how to tag it and I don't care. And why should I, it doesn't change anything about the game.
The sequel has the potential to be the best game ever. There I said it, take that Elden Ring. Regarding open world rpgs, this has the best combat out there. Regarding any kind of rpg, Nioh is right up there.
Bruh, why I never heard this game?! That combat mechanic is what I am looking for! I agree, every action RPG I knew has boring combat, which is only slashing or shooting. So it negates the feeling of fighting the big enemies (it's weird that I can take down a giant by hitting his legs, lol). But looking at this clip, damn, we can climb the big enemies? The long sword launch them? And a fricking tornado spell? Bruh!
Dragon's dogma is my second favorite RPG franchise of all time, just a tiny bit below the souls games, and even in that regard there are features in dragon's dogma that are better than the souls games. Few games made me so obsessed with them to the point of not being able to sleep, this is one of them. People put famous RPGs in a pedestal like the witcher and Skyrim, but neither of those can even touch this gem in terms of combat gameplay
Strong feeling that DD2 is in the works for next gen, also given that this game was unfinished it's amazing what Itsuno and his team were able to accomplish. With a more lenient dev cycle and creative freedom, DD2, especially with what it's online spinoff did, might end up being one of the best action rpgs.
I love watching you're videos like this! You bring up great topics and break them down and even bring light to some games that otherwise wouldn't especially in this day in age! Cheers
I love dragons dogma want a sequel real bad but i get bugged pawns that dont do a damn thing....but when it comes together. Some of the best gaming ive done
@@KubinWielki I couldnt play Two Worlds 2....besides its terrible FPS and crashing issues on my PC, the weapon swapping threw me for such a loop. When it takes as many if not more steps to swap weapons in a game as it does to bake a cake in real life, there are issues, lots and lots of issues.
This game was great. It brought me back to a place know other game has. I felt like dungeon & Dragons opened up and teleported me through a moon gate, a place only few can understand. Lord British is here somewhere and the virtues to be found. I can feel it nearby.
This game was SO poorly received when it launched. Capcom made a rpg masterpiece & the regular 'games journalists' threw this in the trash while praising Ubisoft, bioware, etc's bland trash that may have started this vidja dark age. Looking forward to any content related to DD. I've reinstalled the game.
Well they did make a Dragons Dogma sequel of sorts. It was an MMO but it was only for Japan and never shipped anywhere else. I think the problem with the overworld was you spent a ton of traveling back and forth by foot with no fast travel or mounts. They tried to incorporate marker stones and teleport stones to help alleviate this a bit but, more often than not you spent long periods of time traveling to a point, exploring a dungeon and then having to trek all the way back to your quest giver (when you are low on healing supplies due to dungeon delving) and usually at night when the tougher enemies are about almost ensuring your death at beginning levels. SPOILER: Fun note, if you ever complete the play through and make your way all the way down to the bottom of that giant fissure that opens up at the end to fight the Seneschal(the true final boss) your character becomes the new Seneschal. Use the knife to commit suicide and play through again, the Seneschal you fight will be the last character you created voiced and with your vocation and abilities you had in the previous playthrough. I thought that was a pretty neat gimmick.
[Dodge Rolling Everything] "DaRk SoUlS iS bEsT cOmBaT!" Early Vindictus, before it devolved into another fucking weebfest, now *that* was a good combat system.
Yea, it was a slower and had/has lot of variation of hack n slash moves and had little "sandbox" style to it like grabing mobs, hooking Bosses with chains.. I think Crimson Desert's combat will be similar, not too similar but nearly. And it's not an MMO anymore it will be Singleplayer/coop I get it "Dodge Rolling Everything" is bad, but i like the Witcher 3 take on it with the "half spin" or the long dodge, or deflect/parry, but you had to know which to use on which encounter
There is a mod you can download to give your fighter the forward roll from the assassin (dagger) class and once you realize how to do it, you can replace any skill pretty much from any class with it, effectively giving you a dodge roll on all builds which makes the combat fucking perfect. Especially making bbi way more fun as it looks like they took inspiration from the souls series for the dlc. Also on a side note, souls combat is so much fun i think because it uses subliminal musical timing, and once you click with it, it becomes addictive as hell like playing the drums or any instrument for that matter.
Darksouls combat is trashgarbadge. I said it. It's only hard because they purposely design it to be obtuse and awkward. Kind of like the first Resident Evil games being scary because of the sense of helplessness that comes from the awful controls.
you nailed it about the open world part, more towns if necessary, DD sorely needed that, more people but not necessarily more delivery quests, but maybe some escorts quests for caravans here and there, but that would mean your pawns have to have dialogue along the way or mid camp probably.
I've reinstalled DD. My Arisen and pawn are min-maxing Assassin & Sorcerer respectively at level 100. I just have to hand over wake stones, finish game & remember not to level up in the wrong class while I'm grinding classes between levels in my next playthrough. LIQUID VIM FTW!
I love the game because it doesn't include the little anoying numbers poping to indicate damage, only a very discreet little bar, the characters actually run, climb and jump without looking in slow motion. And I love the pawns.
Shadow of War has: - Parameters, like HP, Damage, Defense, etc. You can uprade them. - It has loot that changes the character's parameters, they can also change the way you play, like giving you passives etc - It has elemental damage and states, like fire and burning, ice and frozen, etc - The Orc system, that uses everything I said and some other things I mean. Of course Shadow of war is a RPG. It has multiple rpg elements, even The Division 2 is a rpg. In both games you spend hours making builds, learning all the math and numbers. You role play in those games for sure.
Edit: Damn, I just watched this video again after so many years. I sounded awful, lmao. But anyway, Dragon Dogma 2 hype, baby!!!

Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games. The #1 game that needs a sequel with a higher budget in my opinion. Polish the combat even more (Particularly even more magic and magic mechanics), and give it a Bethesda style world and interactability, with Witcher storyline and world detail / sense of scale. Dragon's Dogma's world suffered due to the lack of funding, I read the Devs wanted to do more but they were at their limits. Limits that could be satisfied with a sequel... Even if it duplicated the existing game and put a whole new game's worth of development to expanding it.
The good news is that the director plans to do a new dragon's dogma in the next few year's once his other projects are done and out of the way. Dragon's dogma was going to get a sequel sooner but he decided to make dmc first as it had been longer since the last game with it than with dd
Exactly. I feel like the game only under-performed due to the lack of marketing. Even to this day many people haven’t heard of it
Take dragon's dogma and put it into a steampunk universe...
I would easily take a 25% reduction in magic strength for a shorter casting time on the stronger spells. They were like 5 - 7 seconds long per cast...
It needs to be multiplayer, hardcore like dark souls, maybe with a pvp system, and an actually decent storyline. Dragon's Dogma had a shit story, and the graphics definitely need updating. It would also be pretty cool if they included something like a camping system, more open-world cities and dungeons. Roaming NPCs with dialogue and systems that make the world feel more realistic and immersive. Basically take the combat system of Dragon's Dogma and place it in Skyrim with multiplayer combat and pvp.
Can we appreciate though just how Dragons Dogma had the best intellectual dragon in any media?
That and probably the coolest dragons as normal bosses as well. Talking to you mid fight, casting magic and simply flying up are things that more dragons should do in games.
Also the bitterblack boss rush room and the whole dlc in general.
Dragon's Dogma has a great combat system! I'm glad you bought it up, because it's the _only_ "true" RPG I've seen with a free-flowing combat system.
Imagine that kind of combat with the writing of Baldur's gate or Dragon Age Origins.
I loved this game, played it to death. This story doesn't quite hold up as well as Skyrim for multiple playthroughs, but the combat, and skill system, is so much better. And the pawns! Both annoying and hilarious.
oh yeah, and the sandboxy openworldness of Skyrim
I disagree. The new game plus feature and the online boss makes it worth multiple playthroughs. Plus all the armor, weapon, and class experimentation.
@@professorhawk9070 I agree with you, Dragon's Dogma is the only RPG that i finished 11 times, only because of his new game plus system.

@@conghautran6317
Modders? Why not the developers themselves?
@@satyasuardana6751 we are talking about the same Bethesda right?
@@conghautran6317
It's wrong to let the consumers do their work. This should not be the norm
@@satyasuardana6751 it shouldn't but with the current Bethesda I doubt they will give a care about us fan
You reminded me of a really old game called "Betrayal at Krondor" where the magic system was also stamina-based instead of manna. Another great feature was that once your mage ran out of stamina, you could keep casting but you'd be using your health pool instead.
Lawrence Gillespie that was an amazing and hard game, the first is always going to be the best. The second game was decent enough to play though, totally different game though
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is also criminally underrated. It's almost similar to Dragon's Dogma in some ways, but at it's core plays like what Fable actually should've been. Being able to choose between might, finesse, and sorcery with any combination of two in between, or just doing all three trees at once adds so many layers of customization that I would dare to say rivals Dragon's Dogma's vocations.
The mixture of skill trees combined with the fate cards/shifts can make your character feel very personal to you with the fate cards that act as your "class" with their own sets of passive bonuses that compliment your chosen active skills. All of the class combos get upped to the 11 when you decide to build a universalist. (combination of all three trees) Instead of feeling like a jack of all trades, master of none, you're rewarded with a passive making you a master of all martial and magical weapons and more than competent in the three practices, without being completely overpowered.
What really hurts the game are inventory glitches, audio/visual bugs, and the game as a whole feeling way too easy, even on the hardest difficulty. Some people would argue that it's too long as well since the core game is actually longer than Skyrim and all it's expansions, but it's an overall satisfying experience.
Dragon’s Dogma is like a freaking addiction to me. Started about 5 months ago, I play it every chance I have. Absolutely incredible gameplay
Dragons dogma is so underrated, wish it was longer though, I've played it to death.
"There ilk hate ice abd fire both!"
"Goblin!"
"Goblin!"
"Armed rogues!"
"Ah, Arisen look, it's the ocean."
Dragon's Dogma is a diamond in the rough, it is one of my top open world rpg's for the combat alone
Truly, dragon's dogma has the most satisfying combat yet. I think you fell short on this video. There are many underlying gameplay features such as how ogres always go and attack womens first , how hydras can swallow you, how chimeras can pin you and ravage you, how Griffins fall off the sky when you burn them, and so on. The lack of enemy variety is equally balanced with the personality and multiple ways to deal with each one of them. Then you have the synergy with the pawns and how you rise your personal pawn. For fighter pawns is always fun when you grapple hold humanoid enemies and your partners come rushing to deal the final blow. How if you fell off the sky they would catch you and save you an unexpected death, how they restore your stamina. Truly, deciding between an utilitarian or a guardian class pawn, was always a tough choice. The is no other magic system that evokes anime feels (ecsplosion) like dragon's dogma. Im still trying to find a game that can scratch that "classic classes feel" (mage, warrior, priest, etc) that isn't a turn based, top down isometric view, or mmo. Even the story that many people say was boring, has its amazing revelatory moments, sadly getting to those moments are very far and between, fighting the dragon and the following cutscene was an exciting twist, and even more so, the ending of the game is one of the most inconclusive ,yet unique, aspects of the game. To me those 2 plot twists saved the game's story to me. The problem with this game is as you stated, the over world is boring and dead or full of things to kill dead and that's all you'll be doing for the rest of the game. The side quest are mostly fetch one thing, escort someone (which I never did cause I once had the dude that changes your classes die on me and I was stuck), or kill things more dead. To me, not a problem since I enjoy more the combat in games than story, to other, the contrary.
I'll never forget when I fell off a Griffin and my main pawn caught me. Never happened again but that one moment gave me a feeling that no other game has given me since.
Happened to me when I fell of the dragon and my big brawny Pawn caught me followed by “are you alright Master?”
I had those little anime hearts in my eyes for him after that. Lol
Personally I liked the escort quests, as it's the ONLY game where I felt a need to begin the quest after a night sleep to give me a whole day to accomplish it, because attempting them during the night was, as would be in 'reality', a fool's errand. And having someone vulnerable in your party for the duration really changed how you fought, or avoided, each combat encounter. You bring up some great points, thanks for taking the time to type all that you did.
@@xxTICxxTOCxx Thanks. And yes that's true! Theres some pre planning about it. In my case, it was bad timing! It was morning and I had progressed the story enough to where the Griffin appears. Of course I didnt know that, and the Griffin landed right on top of the inn guy 🤣🤣😤.
I think in theory, that if you set your pawns inclination to Guardian and Utilitarian, the pawn saving you event could happen more often.
Still one of my favorite games of all time and just for the combat and vocation system. I also shake my head when I walk into an inn and my pawns just start smashing boxes. If I role play it right I feel like a no good gang leader about to give an innkeeper a hard time. Otherwise I feel like the worst parent at the toy store.
"What's this???" as your pawn leaps into the fountain in Gran Soren to get a coin, followed up with, "I'm soaked to the bone!!!" Or the charm of giving all your party pick axes, and waiting in caves after a combat encounter while they mine all the ore... "Come on kids, that's enough, we still have work to do."
"The souls combat wouldn't work in an open world rpg" lol obviously said before Elden Ring
I really loved the combat on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Same just picked up the game as a used one disc for PS3 almost...goddamn...10 years ago
combat was good but the overly cartoony style of the game was just a turn off for me.
@@vice2versa For me the turn off was the feeling of MMORPG offline.
@@Hawky2947 yeah i can see that too
I played K of A: R again in 2017 and noticed something: ESO, the Elder Scrolls MMORPG has a LOT of similar mechanics. The use of crystals to strengthen wpns & armor was the first thing to catch my eye. Anybody else?
Dat meteor storm and tornado tho...
It's a shame this game has no spears... Spears! Swinging a greatsword inside a tight dungeon is hilarious.
It is really a shame. Spears are soo underrepresent in most RPGs. Even in great Games like Divinity 2 a spear is just another two handed just like your Zweihander.
What about shovels ? They are seriously underrepresented!
@@paulpaulmann8873
Seriously! I know of two games that have spears used like spears!
Two!!
Dark Souls and Morrowind!
WHY are spears so absent in games?!
@@paulpaulmann8873 I never understood this! Spears have been the most dominant weapon throughout the history of mankind and they are awesome. How come they are so under represented in games? It's sincerely something I enjoy once I play a game with spears. In the end, I guess in the eye of western pop culture, a spear is not a noble weapon. Just a pointy stick.
@@utisti4976 mount and blade, chivalry, mordhau etc. all use spears and when actual fighting style of spears is a concern to you those are far better representations than morrowind or even dark souls
0:43 Elden Ring says hello 🤣
DMC5 - I beat this game 3 times already on different difficulties and yet I still can't quit! It's simply routine - get back from work, have dinner, change clothes, pray, DMC5 perfect judgement cut the whole mission for hyping and then go play what I play currently.
I like that you cover rpgs I've never heard of! Even if it is sometimes tempting to throw all my money towards these games...
Dragon's dogma hardly needs any of your money. Cheap and easily worth 100+ hours of gameplay
It's always on sale and it's already cheap. You GOTTA play this masterpiece.
I actually got this on sale. The only regret is that I haven't finished the DLC.
Pick it up, you wont regret it.
Ive never played other rpg where I found myself replaying the game 3 times immediately after completing it for the first time, easily 200 hours in, dd is te only game that I played without wanting to stop, unfortunately I'll have to when collage starts.
All 9 vocations are different enough and the game has over 100 special attacks, the combat mechanics are extremely complex, there are many playstyles, great loot and enemies to the point where the game just cant get boring. So idk what are you talking about.
Dragons Dogma was the first game come to my mind after reading the title of that video
Same here.
One of my favorite Action RPGs of all time. I love Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen. Always hoping for sequel... Day one buy for me.
Sequel is in development to be released end of 2022 or early 2023
Just got officially announced by the devs earlier this week
DD did something that no one does right: night time! Every day you have to plan out your travel to the location for the quest while also worring about getting back before night time. The idea of planning your expedition and having to worry about the day cycle is something no many games do.
Dragons Dogma is one of my favorite RPGs of all time.
0:43 "There's a high chance the same combat system just would not work so well in an open world RPG" Well that aged like milk.
ahh Dragons Dogma, that hidden gem that will always be remembered as that game where the NPC never shut up :P
Goblins!
Look out, wolves hunt in packs!
Stfu pawn! So i start play alone xD
don't Forget where your companions will occasionally be Suicidal.
"ahh Dragons Dogma, that hidden gem that will always be remembered." fixt
"There is a high chance that an identical combat system just wouldn't work in an open world RPG" Funny that this video was recomended to me just now with Elden Ring almost coming out
What I want most from another Dragons Dogma!
-coop (so I can adventure with a couple of friends or assist new players needing help)
-more verity in magic!
-make two handed more useful ( it felt underwhelming compared to other classes)
-more enemy verity
-survival mode making you have to eat and drink as a difficulty with harder enemies
What do you wan to see brought into a new dragons dogma?
DEfinitely not coop the screeching for balance will nerf it into the vanilla groupthink category.
I thought to myself “Dragon’s Dogma” as soon as the video started. Couldn’t agree with you more! I absolutely love this game and still revisit it every few months.
Hell yea, the sorceror spells make you feel like you came really far, like you progressed throughtout the game.
From simple fire spells to straight up Armageddon meteors. Hella lit.
dragons dogma combat is insane I got destroyed on bitterblack isle when it came out I felt dark souls was easier
2nd time final boss and death just wow
I'm a massive fan of Dogma. Less a fan of the souls series but i think it's hard to compared these games in 'difficulty'. Maybe i find dogma a cakewalk because i understand the mechanics, want to grow stronger & can carry 1 million curatives on a well customized party.
Demon souls was great but after Dogma came out i immediately lost interest in the 'souls genre'.
I tried dragons dogma and i was very excited to start an rpg i thought i would become obsessed with, but i played a couple hours and got to the the first city/town and couldn't figure out where to go or what to do, so i figured I needed to backtrack because i had missed something but I kept dying to mobs everywhere I went, unable to make it anywhere, so i was completely stuck. I dont like to look at guides, I prefer figuring out games by myself, so it really turned me off to it
@@alexandermilewski7850 The start of the game isn't well explained and it can be easy to miss an important side-quest almost at the start of the game. I'd really recommend checking out a guide like the one on steam, even if only to avoid missing critical quests (looking at you, Quina!!) that impact later areas of the game.
Same here XDD I fell down during a portion in the sewers on Bitterblack and ran into Death with my lantern out cause wet. For me, that was the most fearful moment I'll never forget (being I don't play horror games) with the 2nd one being the first time I ran into that stupid wyrm in the south.
DD would have been an absolute masterpiece with a better open world, maybe also expanding more on the concept of bitterblack isle. Still fantastic game though, spent hundreds of hours playing it
spells like what that mage casted at 5:32 -6:03 is how every spell should look in all RPG's...
LOL I'm such a fanboy when it comes to this game I have over 3k hours in it, and btw it's nice to see someone else playing a Warrior. Some of the things you can do in this game that are never listed but are absolutely a blast such as if you play Strider and have the skill Mad Dash you use it as you approach an enemy you hit heavy attack your character does a slide tackle and upends the enemy or how if you use Soaring Stone and have a Ranger pawn that has a high inclination to Utilitarian and they will pick the enemy off in mid-air. But the best thing about this game hands down is Boarball. :D
Dragons Dogma 2 is in development and we already have some information and a trailer. Rejoice Arisen!
Now it’s a few weeks away
I like the fact, that you said "Souls combat wouldn't work in open world", couple years later we got Elden Ring :D
Anyone who loves rpg's (an hopefully the jrpg) as much as the wife and I do deserves our sub :). Very glad a friend of ours told us about the channel :)
My god Dragon's Dogma is indeed the industry's standard when it comes to open world RPG combat design.
"unless a developer having an unlimited time to develop a game" - that's why modded Skyrim is the best!
And that's also why the same developer introduced paid shop for mods.
@@Hawky2947 which with hindsight, it's kind of doom from thee start - modder basically have unlimited time and resources (given time and interest), a game company will never be able to compete with them on the sheer quality and bigger DLC levell project is probably too expensive
That intro segment about darksouls got me thinking what about elden ring on this topic
Let be doubly sure we get an good dragons dogma remake.
What game is that at 1:22?
Devil May Cry 5
I've tried Dragons Dogma several times and never got far.. but seeing the magic now I'm gonna reinstall.
Won't regret it.
toptier sagat lol no.
toptier sagat every game that Nioh copies off of does that combat system better
I did the same thing, man.
For several hours on many different characters.
But then I started roleplaying as Guts from Berserk, and then the game just clicked for me.
So good.
This combat system combined with witcher-like story and graphics would be the best game ever made.
One of the best single player RPG games ever hands down. Great video btw, started following you cuz I just purchased a copy of Outward and your channel is the one with the best gaming tips 😂
Keep up the good work mate, I like your style.
Keep fresh and interesting. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Considering relative success, dark souls is the last game a desginer should look to for universal acceptance.
Imo Dragon's Dogma and Kingdoms of Amalur are two sides of stream-lining in RPG combat system. Amalur gave you all the freedom you want, and in turn it became boring at a point. While in Dragon's Dogma a lot of things are locked behind your play-style by choice and grinding, making the whole thing more cohesive.
the big problem with amalaur was the forced developing stop before polishing the game, because hurr durr must sell, whant money shit from publisher EA, and in the end the game was released completely unbalanced. but it's still a beatiful game. that could have been much better.
You can dodge in Amalur. Automatically makes it the better combat system
@@joeblast8004 That's your personal preference. In Dragon's Dogma you can dodge as well, but only if you play as a Strider.
@@automaticocelot452
Any combat that doesn't include an evasive maneuver for ALL classes is trash.
@@joeblast8004 That's your opinion.
what game is at 0:10? The one with the For Honor RS combat?
The 4 best combat systems in rpgs for me are: Kingdom of Amalur, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Dragons Dogma and The Witcher 3. Just based on my enjoyment of the combat.
You mean vanilla The Witcher 3? Really? o_o
@@sig3363 haha not vanilla :p I thought anyone sensible played on DM + combat mods (BCE) as soon as they see how OP spammy Geralt is
I remember that day when kingdom of Amalur was free on gold back on the xbox 360 days. I thought "where have you been all my entre life?"
@Obi-Wan Shinobi I mean, Skyrim dude
Zerinth Blade of Darkness.
one open world action rpg I've found recently that has attained a nice balance between RPG and action is Ashen.
It rewards exploring the open world with items that increase our stats as well as the rare and unique items. Think of it like the spirit items in Breath of the Wild. But quests reward better stat increases and additional gameplay mechanics. It also seems like it's taken the dark souls action dungeon crawl format and manage to apply it well into an open world.
Yes I loved that game. It's light in the implementation of souls mechanics, and offers a far more cheerful atmosphere along with it. "Dark souls - the light-hearted edition" so to speak :)
And I liked the companions, the simple yet effective approach to them. They kick ass and all you have to wonder about is whether to bring one of the waifu's or stache-bro.
There's an expansion now
@@7dayspking throughout the action you help npcs with their own personal questlines, while completing your own and exploring the lands. Progressing quests rewards you with gear options, expands the hub and of course offers tidbits of lore.
It's the kind of game you can play for half an hour and feel like you've done something, and then find yourself playing it all day.
It's on console now too.
@@7dayspking dark souls has something like it, but also more lore hidden throughout the game which gets that whole investigation thing going you eluded to in that other conversation (still have to respond to that, you said some interesting things there). An action adventure with stats would describe Ashen better because it doesn't really have that, it's a ridealong. Still a good experience.
@@7dayspking which is why we started using the term action-adventure, to describe games like tomb raider and indeed Ashen and to distinguish their genre from the adventure games from the 80s and 90s as well as the full on action games of that era. The differences between a gabriel knight, a tomb raider and a double dragon should be obvious. They all have a story of sorts, yet your involvement is implemented quite differently in all of em.
@@7dayspking 7dayspking myst, monkey island, the longest journey are all very different from each other too, yet we call them all adventure games. Should we chop that up into sub genres?
And I didn't mean to imply that the term action-adventure was invented because of tomb raider itself, it was just an example of a game who's genre I thought we wouldn't be debating, that's why I used it.
Because it's becoming a bit tiresome to talk about this with you. You find fault with everything. I take things too broad, too narrow, incorrect alltogether etc. It's not a conversation when one of the parties involved is so rigidly holding their oen definitions. Things change and (d)evolve. Over time genres change in their implementation. Get used to it.
So here it is, Ashen is a cool game just like the OP said. We both enjoyed it a lot, we suspect others might too. I don't know how to tag it and I don't care. And why should I, it doesn't change anything about the game.
The sequel has the potential to be the best game ever. There I said it, take that Elden Ring.
Regarding open world rpgs, this has the best combat out there. Regarding any kind of rpg, Nioh is right up there.
Bruh, why I never heard this game?! That combat mechanic is what I am looking for!
I agree, every action RPG I knew has boring combat, which is only slashing or shooting. So it negates the feeling of fighting the big enemies (it's weird that I can take down a giant by hitting his legs, lol). But looking at this clip, damn, we can climb the big enemies? The long sword launch them? And a fricking tornado spell? Bruh!
Dragon's dogma is my second favorite RPG franchise of all time, just a tiny bit below the souls games, and even in that regard there are features in dragon's dogma that are better than the souls games. Few games made me so obsessed with them to the point of not being able to sleep, this is one of them. People put famous RPGs in a pedestal like the witcher and Skyrim, but neither of those can even touch this gem in terms of combat gameplay
2:39 is where the video starts
Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen Is one of my favorite games of all time.
Strong feeling that DD2 is in the works for next gen, also given that this game was unfinished it's amazing what Itsuno and his team were able to accomplish. With a more lenient dev cycle and creative freedom, DD2, especially with what it's online spinoff did, might end up being one of the best action rpgs.
I love having companions in my action rpgs

@@KubinWielki lol
@@KubinWielki I couldnt play Two Worlds 2....besides its terrible FPS and crashing issues on my PC, the weapon swapping threw me for such a loop. When it takes as many if not more steps to swap weapons in a game as it does to bake a cake in real life, there are issues, lots and lots of issues.
Worst game ever in my opinion
Great video, it's easily one of the best videos i have seen that analyzes Dragon's dogma combat system.
I have to admit I'm the type who can tolerate a weaker fighting system. When RPG and story elements are satisfying.
Ya, story got a lot of criticism, but I didn’t hate it. There were a few Moments with some Japanese weirdness, but I always found it charming. Lol
At exactly 2:00 minutes - which game is this one? The character sheet there looks promising
"Soaked to the bone!"
This game was great. It brought me back to a place know other game has. I felt like dungeon & Dragons opened up and teleported me through a moon gate, a place only few can understand. Lord British is here somewhere and the virtues to be found. I can feel it nearby.
This game was SO poorly received when it launched. Capcom made a rpg masterpiece & the regular 'games journalists' threw this in the trash while praising Ubisoft, bioware, etc's bland trash that may have started this vidja dark age.
Looking forward to any content related to DD. I've reinstalled the game.
I think it was game informer that described this game as just another RPG with dragon in the title.
Titles like 'bound by flame' got better treatment. Lol
Dogma got written off as a skyrim/souls wannabe. And everyone went back to dmc/monster hunter
@@CanadianBlaze137 to be fair monster hunter world is amazing
I swear I had this on 360. Wasn’t it on 360 too? Or am I mis remembering?
I had it on the 360, a great game.
Dragon's Dogma, Souls Series and Bloodborne.
Well they did make a Dragons Dogma sequel of sorts. It was an MMO but it was only for Japan and never shipped anywhere else.
I think the problem with the overworld was you spent a ton of traveling back and forth by foot with no fast travel or mounts.
They tried to incorporate marker stones and teleport stones to help alleviate this a bit but, more often than not you spent long periods of time traveling to a point, exploring a dungeon and then having to trek all the way back to your quest giver (when you are low on healing supplies due to dungeon delving) and usually at night when the tougher enemies are about almost ensuring your death at beginning levels.
SPOILER: Fun note, if you ever complete the play through and make your way all the way down to the bottom of that giant fissure that opens up at the end to fight the Seneschal(the true final boss) your character becomes the new Seneschal. Use the knife to commit suicide and play through again, the Seneschal you fight will be the last character you created voiced and with your vocation and abilities you had in the previous playthrough.
I thought that was a pretty neat gimmick.
Noone talks about the true champion, M&M: Dark Messiah. :meh:
I would consider it more of an pure action game.
I have had Dragons Dogma for my old Ps3 for about two years I think you have just inspired me to play it.Thanks.
Skyrim sells nevertheless
This video was the reason I played DD, and I enjoyed it, thanks for the recommendation!
*Low Key* i enjoyed Witcher 3 combat
I did too, specially on hardest difficulty
Same! But I hate the combat rolls for the obvious reason
Elden Ring has entered the chat
[Dodge Rolling Everything]
"DaRk SoUlS iS bEsT cOmBaT!"
Early Vindictus, before it devolved into another fucking weebfest, now *that* was a good combat system.
Yea, it was a slower and had/has lot of variation of hack n slash moves and had little "sandbox" style to it like grabing mobs, hooking Bosses with chains.. I think Crimson Desert's combat will be similar, not too similar but nearly. And it's not an MMO anymore it will be Singleplayer/coop
I get it "Dodge Rolling Everything" is bad, but i like the Witcher 3 take on it with the "half spin" or the long dodge, or deflect/parry, but you had to know which to use on which encounter
There is a mod you can download to give your fighter the forward roll from the assassin (dagger) class and once you realize how to do it, you can replace any skill pretty much from any class with it, effectively giving you a dodge roll on all builds which makes the combat fucking perfect. Especially making bbi way more fun as it looks like they took inspiration from the souls series for the dlc.
Also on a side note, souls combat is so much fun i think because it uses subliminal musical timing, and once you click with it, it becomes addictive as hell like playing the drums or any instrument for that matter.
Darksouls combat is trashgarbadge. I said it. It's only hard because they purposely design it to be obtuse and awkward. Kind of like the first Resident Evil games being scary because of the sense of helplessness that comes from the awful controls.
There is a lot more to the combat in the Souls series other than it being hard.
Should Have Known It Was Going To Be Dragon's Dogma 👀
you nailed it about the open world part, more towns if necessary, DD sorely needed that, more people but not necessarily more delivery quests, but maybe some escorts quests for caravans here and there, but that would mean your pawns have to have dialogue along the way or mid camp probably.
I've reinstalled DD. My Arisen and pawn are min-maxing Assassin & Sorcerer respectively at level 100.
I just have to hand over wake stones, finish game & remember not to level up in the wrong class while I'm grinding classes between levels in my next playthrough. LIQUID VIM FTW!
What game is at 1:20 ?
Now we have *Elden Ring*
I love the game because it doesn't include the little anoying numbers poping to indicate damage, only a very discreet little bar, the characters actually run, climb and jump without looking in slow motion. And I love the pawns.
Couldn't agree more. I loved this game ever so much. It did so many neat things!
Shadow of War has:
- Parameters, like HP, Damage, Defense, etc. You can uprade them.
- It has loot that changes the character's parameters, they can also change the way you play, like giving you passives etc
- It has elemental damage and states, like fire and burning, ice and frozen, etc
- The Orc system, that uses everything I said and some other things
I mean. Of course Shadow of war is a RPG. It has multiple rpg elements, even The Division 2 is a rpg. In both games you spend hours making builds, learning all the math and numbers. You role play in those games for sure.
I used to think this game was underrated, but it has a lot of fans. I still think it’s under appreciated and this video explains why.
