I bought Dragon's Dogma 1 after crawing for some open world RPG and DD having this cult status of being an underappreciated gem.
If only I had watched more reviews, particulary those that cite the Monster Hunter influence, that would keep me away...
Killing anything in this game takes absolute ages. Until my pawn casts a fire buff on my weapons I pretty much only tickle even the most basic of monsters. And it is not like those fights are that hard. Big monsters just have jumbo healthbars, regular enemies don't come in packs, they come in small armies. If you can route them and have a fire buff, they're easy to dispatch.
I guess I won't stick with this one for too long. Atelier Ryza 3 was in discount over the weekend and I foresee it would scratch the itch much better.
If nothing else, gathering and crafting is bound to be much more enjoyable!
