Looking forward to a sequel.

Capcom Japan has announced that Dragon’s Dogma has shipped 1 million units worldwide.
In a press release, the publisher said Dragon’s Dogma is 55th title to top the 1 million shipped mark; the amount shipped to retailers does not necessarily line up with sales, but it does indicate reasonable demand for the game.
Additionally, while it didn’t give numbers, Capcom noted that Dragon’s Dogma had set a first-week sales record in Japan as the best-selling new property launch in ten years.

As a result, the action RPG is to be developed into a major franchise.

Dragon’s Dogma released at the end of May on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It’s a single-player RPG in which players are joined by three AI companions, one of which can be hired by others to the benefit of both parties. It charted reasonably well in the May NPDs.

Awesome I love Dragon's Dogma

I just hope they don't decide to annualise it... and I hope the quality stays high. Hopefully this can become one of Capcom's saving graces

I've heard good things about this game. There was a reasonbly amount of hype about it. One guy where I work won't stop raving about it...

Hmmmm....

love the game, it has taken many hours of my days. and i'm still shocked it's from Crapcom. and it was near-perfect, i bet a sequel would rock. but yeah, don't make it annual. i'm kind of sick of freaking sequels

Very good game if you like long lasting gameplay and RPGs, its a must if you're into that kind of games!

If they make a sequel with a little bit of a more involved story they've got a juggernaut of an IP on their hands. The combat in the first game is top-rate.

**Yuuichi** · 06-25-2012

My biggest request for sequel.

1. Bigger world with more hidden Dungeons
2. More Big ass monsters
3. Dynamic weather effects that can change the landscape, ie. if its raining an area could flood and look totally diff, if snow a lake could freeze letting you access an area.

Other than that keep everything the same. Love this game so much I am going to make a third account for a third character.

It seems that they'll reach their 1.5 million projected goal for the year. Knowing Capcom though, they'll find ways to milk the crap out of the next few games.

This really does scare me ><

Hopefully they respect it enough for it to be another gem if not I'm sure the sales will tell them they made a msitake

As long as it doesn't go the way of Monster Hunter.

Excuse my ignorance, I only have the first Monster Hunter on PS2, whats so bad about that franchise now?

**Fenix** · 06-25-2012

They just need a bigger world, and a better story. I'd buy a sequel regardless though, so fun.

DLC in dragon's dogma has been rather tame thus far, which amazes me.. The mission DLC and hair style DLC should of been in the game, but luckily if you want those its only $1 - $2 each.

The weapon and rift crystal packs are rather useless.

It's simple really, they didn't wanted to scare a potential fan base away so they played it safe. Once they have you guys by their clutches, they will continue their usual practice. I really hope that it's not the case for this franchise.

This is quite a bit to ask for, well the dungeons and monsters deal not so much, but Dragon's Dogma has a pretty decent sized world for the graphical aspects of the game, the changing landscape because of weather, that would take too much time to design and it would just complicate the design process, in the long run of putting this feature into a game of this size and graphical nature the designing company would be out more money than they make. But I still do think it is a good idea.

As far as I'm aware, most of the new MH games are only in Japan. I think there's an MMO or something similar out there, but most new games came out for the Gameboy (DS by another name).
