Capcom Now Considers Dragon’s Dogma a ‘Key Brand’ Following Substantial Sales

hell yeah
loved dragon’s dogma 1 and loved dragon’s dogma 2
Oh god…
Yeah, the game sold a lot because the first game had become a cult classic and the sequel got hyped to the heavens.
But the actual reception to the game from the larger player base hasn’t exactly been particularly positive. Performance issues being probably the most notable complaints, with a terrible story or lack there-of, and limited enemy encounters which get old fairly fast, being other major complaints. Microtransaction nonsense did them no favours either.
I’m not sold on this becoming a “key brand” for Capcom unless they seriously polish up the formula and innovate with a sequel.
Yayyyy they’re both such good games and deserve recognition!
They need to open up that vault and start “Key Branding” other games like Dino Crisis and Breath of Fire too. Like the black sheeps of the family, man…
A new Xbox president is stupid unless she wants to be hated by a bunch of people by making them lose their jobs
Been meaning to play it. Have they fixed the technical issues?
DD2 was clearly lacking development time and resources because Capcom didn’t believe in the success so my hope is that now a sequel will get the money it deserves.
Will this mean they’ll actually put the time into reinvigorating Dragon’s Dogma Online???
Here comes the enshitification of Dragon’s Dogma. “Key brand” to take and run into the ground
Welp looks like we DMC fans are screwed
Good. Expansion. Now
I’ve been having fun with DD2. I just have one minor qualm (and it’s not related to performance).
DD1’s class system was *much better* than DD2. DD1’s system of 3 main classes with 3 advanced and 3 combination classes made building your character fun.
With DD2 I started as a thief. I switched to archer for a bit for a side quest but I hated it and kept getting decimated because the minute I’d start doing damage I’d be targeted (despite having two warriors as pawns AND a passive from the Thief job that is supposed to reduce how often I’m targeted). Switched to Warrior for a while and it was fine, but Thief was just OP as hell and I was pretty much murdering everything.
I have 6 classes right now, thief is maxed out, and I have zero desire to switch to something else to gain more skills. I may switch when I get a few more advanced classes once I get them. I liked Magick Archer in the original, but it seems like I won’t see that class until much later in the game.
Nice hopefully DD3 will be closer to the game of my dreams, and we can break the cycle of “this game has so much potential! If only it got the money and time it deserves!”. Can’t wait for the dlc.
Let’s goooooo!!!!!
I’ve been loving the first game since it came out. All this statement does Is piss me off tbh. Waited 12 years for a sequel for it to have exact same fucking problems and then they go “ohh people like this” it means we’ll get more dd game in the future but man fuck capcom
Dragon’s Dogma 1 fell behind because Capcom didn’t believe the game would succeed, so it was rushed and subsequently couldn’t live to the director’s vision, but still sold million of copies guaranteeing a sequel
Dragon’s Dogma 2 once again fell behind and almost feels liek a carbon copy of the original,
I’m afraid for Dragon’s Dogma 3
I wish Capcom would remember Mega Man and give it as much attention as Sega does with Sonic
When a big publisher says something like that in this day and age, it usually means upcoming trouble and shenanigans for the customer.
* cough * Sony * cough *
Has the game gotten any notable improvements to performance yet on PC?
while i enjoyed DD2 also played dd1 back at launch on the ps3.
my only issue is new game plus lacking hard in DD2 versus DD1 postgame.
also mods are already trying to make scaling better in new game plus etc.
but i mean this is 4th Dragons dogma game we had dd1, dd online only in japan i think already shutdown, DDdark arisen probably the version most people here played and dd2.
Well good, maybe you can finally release one that isn’t half baked.
keep the game price right for my region and I will buy it right now … I ain’t paying 60% more than valves suggested price for this game
Sorry, I don’t accept 30 fps on a PS5.
Hopefully we will still see a new Breath of Fire.. copium
So maybe they’ll budget for more than three enemy types next time. Going back to Elden ring after this game, wow it’s kinda embarrassing for Capcom.
Great game. Can’t wait for dlc.
Mfs said it flopped who’s lying
That’s really good to hear. Hopefully we get some BBI style DLC.
Good thing everybody was acceptable with paid items so they can be included in future capcom games also !
Well good for them but game was quite mid and i was disappointed in it overall.
Dragons Dogma (1 and 2) are fun and I had a great time in 2, but after beating it once, I don’t see myself going back to it. If they keep the same formula, I don’t know if I’ll be excited, as an open world of this size but with little in the way of different role playing (as in your role is solely down to what combat class you use) is kind of a turn off. I like when a game gives just enough wiggle room where your focus can be on absolutely nothing important to quests and you can almost have a sort of life and head canon in the game that exists apart from the main story.
This is either a very good thing or a very bad thing. We’ll have to see.
I’m glad Capcom keeps meeting sales expectations, seems like they’re the only big gaming company that retains their employees while also giving them pay increases with each record sales reports.
