Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen's Enemy Eyeballs Are a Sore Sight

Rip out its optics

by Sammy Barker Mon 22nd Apr 2013

Upcoming expansion Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen will ship with a handful of new enemies, including the ‘Gazer’. The oversized optic is packing a number of devastating attacks, including the ability to zap anyone caught in its stare. It also uses its eyelid to recite chants and poetry. Yeah, pretty gross, huh? The game's due out tomorrow in North America and later this week in Europe.

I was really looking forward to the first one until I played the demo. Too much on screen chatter and clutter. I'm sure people who play MMOs are used to it but I'm a solo gamer and found it all very distracting. I've read they've spruced things up a bit so I'm hoping for another demo.

@rjejr Man, you can switch off almost everything on the screen. Just check out options.

Thanks to you both.

I didn't try to switch off the chatter b/c it was a demo and I only played it twice, I usually don't mess around too much while playing demos, I just play.

No fast travel sucks though. I don't know why games still come out w/o a stead or transporter or 1-way door or pipe or something. I HATE backtracking. One of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of Zelda and Metroid I think.

Maybe they add portals to the cities. Eh... I hope they didn't fix carrot glitch =)))

...and its $40... why? It's DLC. Way too much. Just finished the original campaign too. Will be waiting for a serious price drop. On to Tomb Raider.

@BlueProxy because iirc its not just DLC (if it was dlc it would probably be available just for download not as a retail release in stores duh) but its the entire original with new content added. And when you consider that gamestop still, or at least until very recently, sells the original for like 40 used its a pretty good deal.
