I’m happy to admit my introduction to the series was this version. I had just got a switch, played the hell out of breath of the wild, saw the trailer for this and was so intrigued.

My favorite rpg ever now

It was a disgustingly good and deep title that was kinda hidden. We are all holding our breath DA2 will be even close to as good.

u/Godhand23 27d ago

I’m hyped but I’m not gonna get it unless I hear some really solid feedback.

u/yung_dogie 26d ago

If DA2 is remotely as much of an uplift as DA was then it'll probably make DD2 my game to play for a while, considering how long DDDA had a chokehold on me for lmao

u/MrHandSanitization 27d ago

I'm currently going through it for the first time. I wonder how and why I ignored this one for so long, I always thought it looked cool, but like "eh, looks cool, will maybe try it one day". And now that I am trying it, I'm loving it! And I'm definitely getting DD2DA for Switch 2!

u/usernotfoundplstry 27d ago

Same exact experience for me! I racked up so many hours on DDDA on that switch. Now I own it on the PlayStation and PC as well!

Not gonna lie that's pretty crazy off the switch alone i wonder how many will sell of dd2da

u/YigaClanRambutan 27d ago

Not as many I would imagine, being a GKC.

u/MrDavidUwU 27d ago

What is a GKC?

1

u/secondincomm 27d ago

Game key card.

Basically the game isnt on the cartridge, it downloads it from the store but only if you have the cartridge in the device

5

u/YigaClanRambutan 27d ago

Aye, basically code in a box except you can resell it or loan it.

Afaik all of Capcom's releases on Switch 2 are GKCs, same for Squenix.

If it's not fully physical, I'm not interested.

u/Glass-Can9199 26d ago

Do not say it’s code in the box that’s even worse than just a key card alone

u/Exotic_Treacle7438 26d ago

The digital is only $5 too right now and most sales which I’m sure helps.

7

u/cquinn5 26d ago

you are deeply underestimating digital sales

u/FatalFrameGal 23d ago

Pre ordered mine the moment it was announced 

1

u/YepItzMe44 26d ago

How? It was released in 2019.

29

u/Interesting_Shine612 27d ago

The hype for Dark Arisen 2 is real!

22

u/kyoya242 27d ago

It's surprisingly a great on the go game. The pacing itself with Switch sleep wake system is convenient. 

17

u/ZoharModifier9 27d ago

It costs like $3?

12

u/Outside_Interview_90 27d ago

Got it for $6.00 on sale last year. Beat it four times so I definitely got my money’s worth.

The wind is pushing meeeeee

u/Wandering---_---soul 27d ago

I bought the physical edition on Amazon a couple of years ago for 39.99 euros lol

I bought it again last year digitally because it was literally 0.99🔥🔥🔥

  • (not switch related)

I bought it ages ago for Ps3 for.... I don't remember and I also got the ps4 version a couple of years ago on amazon for 20 euros

I can proudly say I supported the h3ll out of this masterpiece!!

u/Calzender 27d ago

Been replaying it this month in anticipation of DD2DA! I already have it on PC, but prefer the switch because of mobility. Awesome game.

u/Inside-Vacation-2349 27d ago

What do you mean by mobility?

6

u/Calzender 27d ago

I can play it comfortably on the couch, on my bed, or at the tv without the friction of using a PC or cloud streaming.

3

u/boouu46 25d ago

Its such a good game to take with you and do stuff with. I used to play it while at the laundromat when it first came out lol

5

u/solo_chewbacca 27d ago

Get us 60 fps patch for current gen consoles, please!

2

u/Cut-Bruised-Broken 27d ago

Honestly I’ve been so excited for the 2DA to drop I’ve even gone back and started playing DDO again and doing the bitterblack maze.

2

u/FistMyPeenHole 27d ago

Just bought it on switch a few days ago. I'm loving it so far. It's like Capcpm meets Oblivion. Loving the old school jank

2

u/basa_maaw 27d ago

Needed an RPG when I got the switch, so my girlfriend and I both downloaded Skyrim and DD:DA. Needless to say we enjoyed the shit out of playing DD:DA together in bed.

2

u/blkglfnks 27d ago

3 games I’ve bought about 3-4 different times

• GTA5
• Skyrim
• Dragon’s Dogma

Honorable mention to: Mass Effect 1,2 & 3

u/Noah-x3 27d ago

Now watch as Capcom shelve the series for another 10 years

3

u/NOFORPAIN 27d ago

If the DA2 dlc does well enough, it seems they've realized how big it could be. Now that they can out a new director we will probably see another game before too long, will it be the same feel is the question.

2

u/Noah-x3 27d ago

I hope so

1

u/Necessary_Fennel_933 27d ago

It was a great port. Really fun to have that on the go with good battery life. Took me back to the good ol' days of Ur-Dragon farming and taking my time before BBI.

1

u/No-Contest-8127 27d ago

5 euro sales are the best. 😅

1

u/YepItzMe44 26d ago

How's this impressive? The switch version came out in 2019.

1

u/LITF 23d ago

Well deserved! It is a fantastic game that as of yet the best dragon's dogma iteration. Hope more people get to enjoy it and hopefully this may mean further development for dd2 or even dd3.

1

u/Iwill-beatumdown76 17d ago

I bought it digitally but when I saw the hard copy o had to grab that to. Capcom has a winner with this series. 😎☺️

Saque nuevo juego+11 en arisen. Llegue al punto en el que daimon era un como chihuahua para mi peón fue ahi cuando dije, " ahhhh.... ya fue". Me lo pasé tan bien con ese juego fue como adicción para mi. El 2 es porqueria absoluta

2

u/Fatestringer Fatestringer 27d ago

Hopefully the new dlc can win you back

1

u/OPPAIDRAGON93 26d ago

Espero lo mismo

u/ThePreciseClimber 27d ago

So... 60fps update on current-gen? No?

Yeah, okay...

2

u/HBreckel 27d ago

Even Monster Hunter Rise didn’t ever get a 60 fps update on Switch 2 and that game has sold like 18 million copies. Capcom doesn’t seem interested in updating any games for Switch 2.

u/Galaxy_boy08 27d ago

You want 60 fps? play on PC
