    $20 off coupon in Best Buy's Gamer magazine this month.

    Tempts me a little but I don't know...I know the fast travel issue will drive me insane.

    Once you get portcrystals and ferrystones, it isn't that bad.

    Granted, that's the latter half of the game.

    But certainly on repeat play, it trivializes travel.

    You only get the one portcrystal in the first playthrough, I thought

    Do not have a cow, mortal.

    I knew I forgot something. Yeah, that's correct, my bad.

    I know you can gift portcrystals, but now that I think about it I don't know if a first playthrough recepient can use it or not. Hrm.

    Need friends with deep pockets, aye.

    I can probably help out on the PS3 version if anyone needs portcrystals or stuff. I'm kinda short on rare materials but purchasable stuff shouldn't be too difficult to pass on.

    The three draconic tears help you there.

    I didn't know Betiah was Ophis' sister. I liked her more obviously.

    I picked up Vigilance and Fitness (augments) from the Fighter vocation, so I think I may go to Assassin now...

    I also did the quest from Mason that opens up Madeline's shop. Boy, she wanted something other than money from that spy!

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    This game is awesome and people whould play it.

    It's not perfect, it's not game of 2012, but damn is it a video game.

    Many thanks @Elderlycrawfish for hiring my pawn Kimbo and sending him home with that sweet, sweet Berserk armor and sword.

    What are some armor options for Assassins? I put the leather hood and gloves on my character back when he was a Strider, and now I have the red version of the same, plus chainmail shirt, leather protector or hunter's vest, skinny jeans and chainmail skirt.

    I liked this game, but man the crafting/inventory system drove me fucking nuts. I finally had to stop playing it, because it seemed like 75% of the time spent playing it was just dealing with my inventory.

    I'm not sure if Fitness is useful. Sinew is the one you need.

    For the assassin armor, whatever works. You are on the offense.

    I thought Fitness was a good idea because I grapple all over large enemies all the time. Sinew lets the character carry more weight, which is what my pawn is for.

  • ElderlycrawfishElderlycrawfish Registered User regular
    For the amount of time I usually end up between trips to town/vendors, I find that extra carry weight is usually a good thing to have.

    I'll usually have all 3 pawns and player character completely maxxed out for carrying capacity pretty quick.

    I recommend it for the mobility of being light most of the time. Move faster and less stamina consumption.

    I like KoA: Reckoning. It's a good game.

    it combines a lot of elements i like about fable, skyrim, and god of war, without some of the dumber things.

    mind you it misses out on some of the more fun dumber things, like romance mechanics that either a binary thing or really stupid, but it's a solid game.

    Is Dragon's Dogma available on the PSN store for download?

    If so, how much is it?

    no, doesn't seem to be. but the store page is like a year out of date and giving you the option to preorder, so, i might have to turn on the ps3 to check.

    Yeah, I checked the website and saw the same thing. I figured I'd ask in case anyone has their PS3 handily available.

    Although even if it IS on the PSN, I doubt it will match the $33 I can get it for on Amazon.

  • King RiptorKing Riptor Registered User regular
    I like KoA: Reckoning. It's a good game.

    It has way to many problems for me. Crappy combat quest overload ( hey this tree? it needs you to find a bazingo potion but the guy who has it needs you to find buzy bees in the forest oh look a werewolf needs a shirt.) and a really confusing world design.

    look just do a good deed, get that werewolf a shirt

    0BnD8l3.gif
  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    yeah no, get that.

    I paid damn near full retail price for it and i still think its worth it.

    but then it's like this game was in part designed for me.

    "what does melding like?"
    "Killing big monsters, in neat fashions"
    "So like climbing on them and loping parts?"
    "Yes. That'd be a good way"
    "Alright, put in some magic and elf ears and we have a game she will buy"

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    Climbing on monsters is so much fun. The Pawn system is neat, the combat feels perfect most of the time.

  • Vargas PrimeVargas Prime King of Nothing Just a ShowRegistered User regular
    What is everyone here playing this on? PS3 or Xbox?

    I don't use my PS3 much, so I was considering getting this for that, rather than the 360, but I don't have any friends on PS3 really, and none that play this game.

    yeah but if you get that werewolf the three wolf shirt he gives you two potions, and the other one can be used to get the secret dongle.

    but yeah, that's a fair complaint, i'm just kinda used to it, i came into it like "oh, so it's like american Fable?" and Fable is just as dumb as this, so.

  • King RiptorKing Riptor Registered User regular
    The climbing mechanic is nice. It's odd how it's importance varies on class.

    I say this as a class that lights itself on fire though.

    xbox version is mechanically superior by like 12% and i have it on there. Gamertag Melding, you can use my sweet ass pawn who i will randomly change the sex of, because it amuses me.

    they're also like level 50 something, and have enough health to face the drake and do okay.

    In general, the PS3 version frame rate dips more, while the 360 version has some screen tearing. So I guess whichever bugs you less is the version to get.

    There's an endgame thing that was a bit better on the PS3 due to a larger user base early on, but I think that matters less these days.

    That is an accurate comic yes.

    Well it missed the part where I spray the Cyclops with exploding arrows first.

    So can we start a gamertag list thingy in the OP? If I get this game I wanna befriend some of you goofs so I can trade pawns and whatnot.

    We got one going in the G&T thread. I'm gonna get Elixir to my previous pawn's greatness. I miss Charlotte's High Fulmination.
