Ever since Dragon's Dogma's announcement at last year's E3, I have kept an eye out on the game.  It's unfortunate that the game is releasing a week after Diablo 3's launch.  It just means I won't be getting Dragon's Dogma on launch day, but I eventually will.  There's a lot that Dragon's Dogma has to offer that still has me highly interested.  Dragon's Dogma is a open-world, Action-RPG set in a fantasy medieval themed world developed by the best of Capcom's studio.  It aims to deliver a single-player experience like no other with the influence of players from all over the world with its pawn system.  Aside from customizing and choosing the different classes of one's own playable character, allies can be created and customized to fight alongside the player throughout their journey and can be uploaded to the servers for other players to hire and vice-versa.  What has me captivated by this game is how slick and action-orientated the combat works.  Rather than just slashing and shooting an enemy, a player can use all sorts of fantastics abilities to attack a whole horde of enemies, set off explosions, imbue their weapons with fire, climb atop an enemy, and perform all sorts of acrobatic feats to defeat their enemies.  Capcom's experience with Action games such as Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, and Lost Planet has allowed them to integrate experiences and mechanics they've done so well in the past all into an RPG environment for one crazy adventure that no gamer has been able to experience yet.  As much as I despise some of the shenanigans Capcom has pulled with their fighting games (Street Fighter IV->Super Street Fighter IV->Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Marvel vs. Capcom 3->Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Street Fighter x Tekken->'10 Unreleased characters') that has sucked enough money to buy a new console, I do commend them for constantly pushing the medium and bringing us gamers high quality games that we can enjoy for long durations.  I'm going to have to finish some more games before I decide to pick this game up, but it's high up there on my "want" list.  Dragon's Dogma releases on May 22, 2012 on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
