Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is Now Available for PC

January 17, 2016 By Brandi McCants Leave a Comment

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is now available for PC and apparently it is better than ever.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is now available for PC and is a bit different than the original one, as the name suggests. The game was announced in 2015 and the developers promised that it will be available to purchase starting with January 2016. The game became available to download on January 15.

The main character is Arisen, who is the chosen one. At the beginning of the game his heart is taken by a dragon, which he must find in order to take it back. Although the original version of the game was appreciated, this little boost makes the game better. According to some gamers the game is not that good, but most of them consider it one of the best action games available at the moment. The first game was launched in 2012 so the fact that the PC port works extremely well comes as no surprise.

This game is more suited to the players who enjoy fantasy worlds, as this one is full of dragons. Even though the game has a high difficulty, delivers a great performance and combat system, there were some users that complained that the storyline of the game isn’t delivered that well.

The gamers who played the version for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 revealed that the game wasn’t as great as they expected. Fortunately, the PC version is here and is better than the version for console so a lot of the players that didn’t like what it had to offer the first time, will certainly like it more now.

The game is a Japanese RPG but has elements of the western type of games as well. According to Steam, the new version of the game has been received very well by a lot of gamers. The game has been compared to Shadow of Colossus and Skyrim, but some people say that Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is even better. The action combat found in this game is one of the best out there, putting games like The Witcher 3 at shame. The main player has a lot of abilities and powers and the battles are fierce and exciting.

Until September 2015, Dragon’s Dogma that was launched in 2012 and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen launched in 2013 have had combined sales of 2.3 million units. As Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is now available for PC and as it has been received very well, the numbers will grow considerably in the next months.

September 19, 2013 By Micheal Baptiste Leave a Comment

Rockstar Games has been well known for their big expansive open world games, with Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne, Bully and L.A. Noire all hitting critical acclaim for their vast openness and creative world.

The biggest series is definitely still Grand Theft Auto, with San Andreas hitting huge amounts of sales and still selling on XBLA today and Grand Theft Auto IV making huge amounts of money in the first few weeks.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has already overshadowed both games in terms of early sales and any game in recent memory, with Rockstar Games earning $800 million on opening day for the fifth in the GTA series.

Considering the game took Rockstar Games $250 million to make, the biggest budget for any type of media (films, games, music) it is the biggest bet that has already paid off, with almost four times the original investment paid.

Take Two Interactive, the studio owner, has said this is the biggest game ever sold under the company branch and it is looking to become the most successful game of all time, eclipsing the likes of Minecraft in revenue already.

There are major factors that have come into play to make Grand Theft Auto 5 so successful, the huge fan-base, releasing it on Xbox and PS3 to around 150 million potential buyers and keeping silent about releases for next generation consoles.

It has currently sold about fifteen million copies worldwide and the way it is going we wouldn’t be surprised to see another twenty million from Grand Theft Auto 5, even more if they release solid DLC like they did with GTA IV.

As for the game itself, reviewers have been calling Grand Theft Auto 5 a masterpiece, Rockstar Games finest work and a commitment to showing older consoles can still pump out incredibly good, powerful and large games with breaking the console.
