Do you think the whole "oh god I'm such a horrible bastard" stuff will play into the game's narrative at all? Kinda like how towards the end of Shadow Of The Colossus you start to feel like a jerk for getting all up in the Colossi's faces. That could be really interesting.
Regardless, smashing a griffin's face in and setting it on fire still sounds like it could make for a damn fun game.

"experienced" the game at gamescom two weeks ago. Sadly it was buggy as hell and I couldn't focus, because the retarded capcom-promo-puttet had to yell into my ear while he was throwing free T-shirts into the crowd the entire time. Damn, I hated gamescom...
The game looked nice.

Yeah, actually I wondered about that. All the stuff I was hearing was talking about how you could decimate the monsters, but it really made me think "I don't know if I'll feel good about doing that"
Man, if that thing wasn't a bastard, it would just fly away. The fact that it refuses to flee even on deaths doorstep shows just what a stubborn vindictive asshole it is. Don't feel too bad.

That was basically my wife's reaction to the trailers. "Noo! Why are you killing the gryphon!? I want to riiiiide it!"
I got that from the videos. Every time I see a guy stabbing the griffin I just wish he'd hop on it and ride it instead of murdering the damn thing.
I felt this way playing Prototype too. After a while I stopped doing the web of intrigue because I was just killing innocent people for the most trivial information. It seemed pointless and made me feel like an asshole.

Well, I think it's always a good thing when a game connects with players emotionally, whether in a "good" way or "bad". If Dragon's Dogma can make players feel bad about slaying monster, and that same emotion is appropriately portrayed by the characters, it can add a lot to the experience.
@ MyCoolWhiteLies,
I like the way your brain works.

I am still very surprised by this game and extremely excited as well. If it was buggy or had issues but still seems awesome then it reminds me of when Demon's Souls was first shown at TGS. It ran pretty poorly but had the makings of one of the best games ever. Turns out it actually IS one of the best games ever. High hopes for this one.
The thing I wanted to repeatedly stab in the head the most were those annoying AI controlled partners of yours who didn't shut the hell up.
A GAWBLEEN PAWK!! TEEK DA OWFENSEEV!!
Sheeesh.

That's how I felt when I first played Shadow of the Colossus. Poor monsters were just minding their own business not harming anyone.
I have high hopes for this game....
Also: more games should be from the point of view of monsters or an "evil" person.

I hope you can turn off those alerts in-game. Otherwise this game will grow annoying fast.
Still, it looks fun. And at least the combat is tactical and a little true to life... When you get someone down to their last legs, they don't fight harder, they fight pathetically.

A gryffon is still a pretty big monster. I can't wait for the brutalising of a lonely goblin. That shit will get X-rated.
Who fired the first shot? Because if the griffin was just minding it's own business and was set upon by a group of pricks, then yes, asshole simulator indeed.
"best asshole simulator" . LOL. love the line Jim. And just think how many people out there lives as an asshole in real life daily.
@UltorOscariot
Yeah, but even if you fire the first shot, it's the Griffon's fault for being a nice blend of white and red meat. The tasty dipshit had it coming.

I'm fairly certain that what you mistook for agonized writhing and pain was actually a dance, an exclamation of pure unrivaled joy, for the Griffon is free from a life of endless pain.
Or "Oh sh*t, I've f*cked with the wrong people...".

This game looks like a ton of fun. Not sure if guilty feelings will get in the way of a really fun game or not. We'll see...
This is exactly what i've been saying about the trailers. Making you feel bad and see the creature in agony could be a good thing if written well and handled with maturity, giving a real grey moral sense to the world (ie. killing the creature for a reason that saves someone else). But instead it looks like they're doing violence for violence's sake and just childishly yelling "yeah set it on fire haha woooo!" in which case it'll be a definite NOT BUY.
Re: Shadow of the Colossus, SOTC's empathy for the creatures was part of the game, part of the design and handled with maturity. So far dragon's dogma looks more like fratboys designing a mythical creature torture simulator..
Sounds like a game of moral choices and having to do what you gotta do. You could be the sadist and let it agonize in pain for the longest time or put it out of its misery as soon as possible.
I'm extremely disappointed that this is offline only; otherwise, it would have been an instant buy for me. Guess I'll just wait for the inevitable Monster Hunter sequel.
I hope I feel disgusted with myself every time I kill something that did not attack first. The only times I felt bad in Red Dead Redemption was when my horse ran over some little critter and it screamed. Cougars and bears always came in hoards that I had fight off with everything.
At least the giant multi-headed snake things won't make you feel like a bastard for killing. Those things are just evil.
Jim's description is pretty much exactly what I felt about Shadow of the Colossus. Fun game, epic battles, but I always ended feeling like I'd stabbed a whale.
