BEST CONSOLE VERSION OF DRAGON'S DOGMA? * Thread starter SOLDIER * Start date Jun 10, 2020 * Discussion * Gaming Forum SOLDIER ONE WINGED SLAYER Member Oct 26, 2017 10,389 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #1 Before you ask, yes I do own the game on PC. But I can't ignore the convenience of console gaming, so when I see that Dark Arisen is currently on sale, I can't help but wonder which of the big 3 is best to play the game through (and maybe I would actually finish it this time). It's actually been pretty difficult getting opinions on the performance of the game on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro: the only thing I could find on Reddit is that it's "30 fps" on the X. That aside, I also scored $5 in rewards points (another reason that Gamepass is such a great value), so I can get the game for real cheap right now if I wanted. But despite knowing that the Switch version is the least best looking/performing of the bunch, I also can't ignore the convenience of playing it on portable and suspending it whenever I want. Dragon Quest XI doesn't have 4K or 60 fps, but the Switch is absolutely the definitive way to play that game, imo. So I just wanted some opinions. Also, is it best if I start it up on the highest selectable difficulty? I found my last two runs to be an utter cakewalk most of the time. JAWMUNCHER CRISIS DINO Moderator Oct 25, 2017 35,746 Ibis Island * Jun 10, 2020 * * #2 If you already have it on PC, unless you really want some achievements/trophies. The switch version is the way to go IMO. It's a good port and the added portability really props it up. KAIPOW Member Oct 25, 2017 2,108 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #3 I played through it all last week on PS4 Pro and it ran fine. Just go with the best sale in my opinion.

Sounds like you'd enjoy the Switch version, which is supposed to be a good port. YAP Avenger Oct 25, 2017 7,952 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #5 It's a solid 30fps on all consoles, even on the Pro/X for some reason, so you'll only be looking for resolution and other graphical improvements vs portability on switch. Pretty standard stuff. BEEFSQUID Member Oct 27, 2017 1,650 USA * Jun 10, 2020 * * #6 Switch version is my recommendation. I loved having the portability and it ran great. TERADAX ONE WINGED SLAYER Member Oct 27, 2017 1,177 Québec * Jun 10, 2020 * * #7 Played on Ps3, Pc and Switch and it's on the Switch version that I've managed to finally complete it! Ran really well. It is a very good port. Playing in the train was really nice! DELETED MEMBER 8593 USER REQUESTED ACCOUNT CLOSURE Banned Oct 26, 2017 27,176 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #8 If the portability is a big deal for you, go for the Switch version. Graphically it sits somewhere between the PS3 and PS4 versions and closer to the latter in most aspects. The most noticeable "issues" are pop in as well as resolution in handheld mode (576p). If not, the drop from 60fps on PC to 30fps on console versions is the biggest sacrifice you will have to make. Depending on how important that is to you, it might not be worth it. DREADFULOMEN Member Feb 6, 2018 1,102 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #9 I want to play it at 60fps on my PC, but I can't get my PS4 controller to work. I've tried ds4windows, but no luck. Has anyone played this on the PC with the PS4 controller? HOUOUINKYOUMA00 Banned Oct 27, 2017 999 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #10 Just so you are aware if you have a Xbox One X that it is not X enchanted. PS4 Pro got a 1440p update, but for some reason Xbox got nothing. It’s 30fps on both machines. The Switch version isn’t terrible. My problem is that I buy things on switch for the portability and then never play it portably. Maybe that’s just a me thing though.

I played it awhile ago on PC and I’m 90% sure I was using a DualShock 4. I did download a mod to change the prompts to PlayStation symbols. Dragons Dogma is actually the only game I’ve ever modded outside of Mass Effect 2 (for controller support) in nearly 2 decades of gaming. Spoiler: ... Man, I’m getting old lol. I’ll be 30 soon ;_; SUPREMEWU Banned Dec 19, 2017 2,856 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #12 It's not that great looking in any version to be honest, the environments and textures and backgrounds are fairly bare-bones with some notable exceptions. I don't think the switch version will compromise anything of importance (assuming it stays at a steady FPS, the fluid action and mechanics are the strength here) ANGELUS ERRARE Member Oct 25, 2017 5,428 Racoon City * Jun 10, 2020 * * #13 > DreadfulOmen said: > I want to play it at 60fps on my PC, but I can't get my PS4 controller to > work.

Just run it through steam and let it handle PS4 controls, get a mod to change the button prompts ANCIENTREPTILEBRAIN Member Oct 25, 2017 6,036 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #14 for me, being able to play the game portably was too much to pass up -- i went with the switch version DREMORAK Member Oct 25, 2017 8,212 New Zealand * Jun 10, 2020 * * #15 They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong NEREVARISING Member Oct 5, 2018 1,012 * Jun 10, 2020 * * #16 > DreadfulOmen said: > I want to play it at 60fps on my PC, but I can't get my PS4 controller to > work.

I just tried it with ds4windows and it works fine, make sure "hide ds4 controller" is checked on the settings APEESCAPER Member Oct 27, 2017 8,605 Bangladeshi * Jun 10, 2020 * * #17 > DreadfulOmen said: > I want to play it at 60fps on my PC, but I can't get my PS4 controller to > work.

Make sure you have the newer version fork of DS4Windows and not the old version that stopped recieving updates years ago DREADFULOMEN Member Feb 6, 2018 1,102 * Jun 11, 2020 * * #18 > NerevaRising said: > I just tried it with ds4windows and it works fine, make sure "hide ds4 > controller" is checked on the settings > Click to expand... > Click to shrink... That did it. thanks man OP OP SOLDIER ONE WINGED SLAYER Member Oct 26, 2017 10,389 * Jun 11, 2020 * * #19 I ended up getting it on Switch. I tried Hard Mode off the gate, and switched to Normal after every single enemy attack killed me. Is it it meant to be one of those hard modes you play after you've leveled up through the main story (New Game+)? AKASHA Member Jan 14, 2019 455 Germany * Jun 11, 2020 * * #20 The portability might be worth much more than graphical performance for an RPG like this. I can't finish really long games like RPGs on stationary systems, it always feels like a drag after a few hours.

Save States or something similar is the one feature I want so bad for next gen systems. I never have to worry about putting a Switch game in rest mode, because even if the power were to go out for a split second, the internal battery keeps that save state safe. All RPGs also need to have the ability to save anywhere. Heck, give us the option to save during cutscenes while you're at it.

I own it everywhere and this is pretty much it. Play it on whatever has the controller you like the most.

Hard Mode is initially more difficult due to enemy damage. In the long run Hard Mode is better cause you gain extra exp and money on enemies, just depends if you can push through the opening sections. STN Member Oct 28, 2017 5,034 * Jun 11, 2020 * * #24 Solid choice, OP. I was going to recommend the PS360 versions but only because the Berserk gear is included in only those versions. And yes, the game is quite hard, so stick to normal until you've learned the mechanics.

The problem I saw initially is that the game gives no indication on enemy levels, so I couldn’t tell if something was out of my league or just cannon fodder. How many levels would I need to not get instant killed by a freaking goblin? Does Hard Mode even offer anything not found in Normal, or its just a simple damage value increase?

Changes include: 1. Enemy damage is significantly increased. 2. Enemy Stagger and Knockdown resistance is tripled. 3. The Arisen's Stamina usage is accelerated. 4. Enemies drop proportionately more Gold when killed. 5. Experience Points, Discipline Points, and Rift Crystal earnings from the Arisen's pawn's rentals are doubled. That being said, you can do a new game plus on Hard Mode too. You must log in or register to reply here.
