I'd be okay with just ignoring this if there was any hope of a real sequel.

Dragon's Dogma Online revealed - PS3/PS4/PC, MMO-ish, F2P, 4-player parties

This.
I would even settle for a bare-minimum port, to be honest. Even the same kind of half-assed Capcom release like when RE4 came to 7th Gen consoles after debuting on 6th Gen consoles.
Does anyone ever get excited about a Free-to-Play, micro-transaction-filled quasi-MMORPG...? No.

F2P guarantees I will at least play this. I see very little to get upset about right now.

It's Capcom. They'll just assume there's no interest in the franchise and dump it because people didn't buy into a F2P MMO based on a single player cult IP.
It was their second largest development team after Resident Evil 6, and was in development for 3-4 years.
This was pretty much the only option a cautious company would be willing to take.

Right here, this guy. I don't mind F2P games done right. And I certainly don't mind F2P games that aren't P2W. Since none of the info has me concerned, I'm fully on the Dragons Dogma Online hype train!
Sad that Sony didn't work with Capcom and help them release Deep Down and new DD as proper full titles with multiplayer elements embedded. Specially post Dark Souls era. With the right marketing, both games would have been nice exclusives to tout against XBOX one.
Still, can't believe they have not yet ported the original DD to PC. A natural pairing.

I admit I was curious to try out the next Dragon's Dogma game after I heard so many positive things about the first game.
However the combination of cross-gen, F2P and microtranstions in a MMO-ish setting just sends up too many alarm bells for me to give this game a chance. Kinda reminds me of like a deal with the devil sort of thing.

Aaaaand Dragon's Dogma is officially dead to me. Shame, there was definite potential there.

With Capcom being notorious for letting cheaters hack leaderboards on games (like the recent resident evil 00:00:00 speedrun times and others in the past) including on PS4. . . what will happen when ppl hack credits and boosts other ppl pay real money for?
Or another hack that cheats in another way.
It would put them off playing the game altogether and end up with no one paying for anything and playing altogether out of rebellion.
Even the original dragons dogma had hacked pawns on 360/PS3 not letting you get to grigori ur-dragon since they where invincible and the next scene couldn't trigger without them dying. But this would be on a next level. Just putting it out there. Hopefully the hackable things are inaccessible because they're server side?

Welcome to the D&D Dragon's Dogma world!
I understand. I'm just bummed out it had to come to this.
Those games you referenced weren't always online, people were just hacking the save files on their consoles.
Significantly more difficult to hack a character stored on a server.

you spelt microtransactions wrong.

Well I'm pretty sure we all just want a Dragons dogma 2,
but this just might be the very first FTP game I'm ever going to play.
I'm not sure if I pay for anything considering that capcom might
make a physical copy one day with all the micro transactions included for free.

I agree but I wouldn't been surprised if they scraped Deep Down and used some assets for Dragon's Dogma. But yeah, two totally different games. It's strange that people think they looked similar. If anything I would compare Deep Down to a Dark Souls type game.
I guess it might sound like I do if I want a free to play version. People aren't exactly in love with MHO, although I've heard it's a close enough approximation even in its beta state. If it was up to me, though, it wouldn't be free to play.
I'd rather Dragon's Dogma Online wasn't free to play as well. It'd reduce the chances of it being shitty.
Having the whole game free and paying for Cosmetics and Experince Boosters would probably be the best way to go about it. IE: Dota 2 and Path of Exile (as you said). But knowing Capcom, it's probably gonna have some cooldown timer between missions of some sort. I just wish it was a co-op Dragon's Dogma 2 that I can just pay $60 for.

It's implied as the coin-op D&D games. Microtransactions are the modern "quarter munchers."

Why would release it on PC if they don't have plans for the west? Dosn't make sense considering the current japan PC market (I know about PSO 2, but let's face it, that's a very nonsensical case).
Considering the bulk of sales of the first game cames from the west seems a crazy idea, I'm pretty sure the "no plans" means "we didn't announce it yet".

No, you can play with human players by forming a party.
Oh, okay. That's good then.

Guys what are the chances of cross play? Maybe same kind of deal as sf5?
I would say they are pretty high.
They are hopefully aiming for the FFXIV model in that regard.

It would mean Dragons Dogma Online 2.
And here I was, actually excited about a F2P game.CAAAAAAAPCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Lost Planet and Dead Rising were far more profitable. Dogma's development costs were high and it barely sold over a million worldwide.

You don't have the decency to make it DD2 or release Dark Arisen in PS4/PC and THEN you say "no plans to release in West"
This is my new MML3. Fuck you Capcom. I ain't buying any of your shit.

Holy overreactions batman. But I guess some of it is warranted, it being Capcom and all.
It sold over 2.2 million actually.

It's okay guys. It will probably not even leave Japan anyway, if Sony doesn't pony up something.
Even if you wanted to play this.

localizations and servers I'd assume. It still is fucking bullshit. I would pay a decent amount for shit in-game.

Can we make a Dragon's Dogma Online Support Group thread? So we can get through this together?
1.4 million before Dark Arisen, which was a budget release so their overall profits weren't so hot (it ended up on PS+ soon after). Their development costs were massive and had high expectations for the game.
If they made a healthy amount of money from the game they would absolutely create the sequel we all want, but being as cautious as they are they're afraid to take another risk.
I've seen this before so I think it's on purpose. It does make me chuckle.
I didn't want a remaster, I wanted a proper sequel.
I know, bro. We're all on the same page with that.

F2P with Microtransactions means you can't do shit without spending money these days. Oh well.
