Buying a whole game just to get a demo of another one? I don't think so! However, this new Capcom title surely looks delicious! Below I posted the E3 video of Dragon’s Dogma to see what I mean.



Dragon's Dogma appears to be set in a huge open world, Dragon's Dogma offers an exhilarating and fulfilling action combat game with the freedom to explore and interact in a rich, living and breathing world. Alongside your party of three, you set out to track down and destroy a mysterious dragon. Your teammates fight independently of you, demonstrating prowess and ability they have developed based on traits learned over time from you and your actions. Dragon's Dogma offers a near endless opportunity to help develop partner characters to fight alongside you.

DRAGON’S DOGMA™ FEATURES

• Highly Stylized Action Combat -- The creators of this game were responsible for the action hits -- Resident Evil® 4 and Devil May Cry® 4.
  
• Fight with Ability -- The soul of combat comes down to how the game is played, where you strike the enemy, and how you react to their attacks.
  
• Accessible Depth -- Bringing an unprecedented level of depth to the action genre, every decision has an effect on gameplay in an intuitive way that does not require micromanagement. The weight of your weapon, the material of your armor -- even the length of your legs -- plays a role in how you fight your battles, but does not interrupt the flow of the action.
  
• Epic Adventure -- Dragon's Dogma is built from the ground up as an action experience for consoles with a continuous, epic storyline that stands alone in style, scope and substance.

• Night and Day -- The open world features a dynamic 24-hour day/night cycle that will offer different enemies and surprises depending on when you venture into the world.
  
• Pawn Them All -- The pawn system offers flexible combat assistance with main pawn companion that you can train throughout the game and two secondary pawns that can vary wildly to fit your combat style.
  
• A rich population -- In addition to interacting with hundreds of fully voiced NPCs, you'll be able to fight a large variety of creatures, from goblins to griffins and dragons. Each enemy requires a different strategy and provides a unique experience.
