Gamespot gave the game 8 out of 10.

They listed "Some offensive and unavoidable character designs" as a downside. LOL.

The sex is going to sell copies of this game.

Get both my PS3 and Vita copies tomorrow from Amazon. My PSN is Northernsoul. I'll be burning through single player to unlock co-op.

Grotesque.

Fantastic.

I can't wait to wield my dwarven hammer and crush the bones of my enemies.

Sorceress seems like a fun character since she can summon skeletons.

Same here. I hope I can use her like the Necromancer in Diablo II. Just have a whole hoard of monsters doing all the killing for me while I sit back and spam spells.

Sometimes I wish I had the power to explode a corpse.

D2 Necromancer was sooooo stupid fun. Just rolling up with a HORDE of skeletons was great. Man good times.

I've pre-ordered it along with a bunch of other games during the futureshop e3 pre-order special. It was $33. Pikmin was $39.99. That was a great deal. Thanks again to redflagdeals.com :buttrock:

So I decided to pre-order Dragons Crown with amazon a few days ago. It's the first time I've ever pre-ordered anything with them (usually I pre-order with Gamestop so I can pick it up on release day). I don't have an Amazon Prime account so as usual I go with the free shipping option. It estimates a delivery between August 12-16. I debate with myself if I should just pre-order it at retail. I ultimately decide to just wait for delivery rather then get it at retail or pay for faster shipping.

I get a shipping notification yesterday from amazon. The estimated shipping date has now been changed to August 7th. Nice!

I just had a package delivered a few minutes ago.

"No way this is Dragon's Crown".

It sure fucking is. That sure is some fast shipping for free. Guess I won't be pre-ordering from retail anymore. Also, free day 1 shipping for me is pretty fucking rad.

Now I just need to decide what character class I want to play as.

Got the game. Downloading updates or some such nonsense right now.

I took a look at the trophies. I wonder how doable platinum will be? Has some timed boss challenges (remains to be seen how easy this boss is), obtaining max level (99), and beating the game with every character.

Should be fun.

Please tell me this game has cross saves. I don't remember reading anything either way. I'm off on holiday come Friday, so I'll be mostly playing the Vita version for the next week or so. Would be nice to continue my progress on the PS3 when I get back.

Looks like you upload your save to the cloud. So if you are playing on PS3 and finish a session you upload the save and then when you fire up your vita you download the save. Finish playing on the vita, upload your save, redownload on your PS3, etc. That's how it appears to work. I can't confirm.

Also how come it's $40 on the Vita and $50 on PS3?

It's a steal either way. I haven't unlocked online co-op yet. Have almost 5 hours. I guess if you just rush through and only do story missions you can do it faster but I've been doing side quests and getting that sweet, sweet, sweet loot.

Only complaint so far - it's really easy to get lost in the action and I wish some of the sections were more enemy dense. We'll see how it goes as the game progresses.

I hope this game sells well.

According to the front page on Amazon it's number 2, with a title under it saying it's been 103 days in the hot 100 selling games. Yesterday it was number one, so I hope it's doing good. Looks like the good word of mouth and the positive press reviews are working well. I was surprised since this is a beat em' up game and every fucking hipster douchbag that reviews games usually just says beat em up's are repetitive and boring, while people love Diablo...

One thing, if your getting the game check the Playstation Store. I just saw an update on Atlus's Facebook profile saying for the first month of the game everybody gets a free download of the "Storyteller’s Voice Pack DLC" free.

I finally unlocked Online Multiplayer. I did about three stages and had zero latency problems and my PS3 is even hooked up to network via wireless.

The loot aspect gets really cool once you beat the first nine areas. In order to get better rewards you need to keep on doing mission after mission without going back to town and restocking. Your items will start to degrade, but fortunately you can have multiple sets of gear via the bags you unlock.

Right now I spent all my money on the rune which cost 30,000 so I'm basically trying to build up multiple gear sets. I have one good gear set and then two other sets with decent to good weapons. I need to get some accessories for that. Time to pray at the Temple :D

This game is great.

Also guys don't forget to download the Narration pack on PSN. I changed the narrators voice to the Wizard and even though he repeats the same shit EVERY.SINGLE.FUCKING.TIME. you come out of a building in town I find his voice a lot less grating.

I don't know about anybody else but I went for the Sorceress since it says she can raise the dead, but it's kind of a double edged sword. You have to sacrifice a skeleton to raise one and of course it won't follow you after the stage ends. I also can't believe how brain dead the AI in the game is. I had resurrected another Sorceress and a Dwarf. I was on that one fortress stage with the barriers and I kept watching all of the AI members in my party kept walking into shit. Also, I derped in one area by only having a fire wand and the whole floor was covered in oil so I pretty much killed everybody. Still having a lot of fun with it and I'm going to try another character.

I'm only about 3 1/2 hours into it, but I'm loving it so far! I rolled a Dwarf to start, but I can't wait to try out all the classes! Given the scope/replayability of the game, just from what I've seen so far...it was definitely more than worth the money!

Skeleton piles will soon become a dime a dozen. You'll know when you're at that point. You'll start to find multiple on the same dungeon, even two in the same room.

The AI may be dumb but they sure do help. I ran a level solo - that was quite the challenge compared to even having characters randomly join you, which is what I have been doing - setting off on a quest with no followers and just having dudes I've rezzed randomly join me along the way.
