Topic: Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen - Bitterblack Isle

[Dark Nemesis]

Now, i know it's an old game, but while i have finished the original, the new one came out 1 week later and while i have traided the original for the new, i had never played it, until now. I'm trying my luck on the extra content, bitterblack isle and i can say that i'm really impressed with the levels design, enemies and music. It reminds me demon/dark souls and at the same time something from Castlevania. I'm lv 80 strider and enemies/bosses, are a living hell there, but so much enjoyable, much more than the main scenario. Any here who have played it, opinions and thoughts?

One of my favorite battles so far, was with this guy:
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen - Part 7 - Eliminator

Hell yes...that was a great game. Downloaded it when PS Plus offered it for free.

The main game became fairly easy after a while, so Bitterblack Isle was probably the best part of the whole thing. It threw so much at you sometimes (like 2 chained Gorecyclopes in the same room), and you'd get squashed at first, but then you could come back stronger and slay just about anything. Fighting Death was tedious, but awesome. I liked how I leveled up like 6 times in a row after beating him. 

I used a strider for my main character, too...turned him to assassin later. My main pawn was a warrior. Most of the pawns I'd hire were no more useful than paperweights, though. They were actually a detriment to the party in tougher fights, because I'd spend more time reviving them than I would fighting. But then the top-ranked pawns were godly. They'd very rarely go down at all.

I inadvertently maxed out my affinity with Valmiro, so the game made my character gay. I still get a chuckle when I think about how many people Capcom probably pissed off by making their characters gay. I can imagine the dudebros' bitter tears as they type their angry rants on GameFAQs.
