| This is how additional content should be handled! Never picked up Dragons Dogma in the end but have been meaning to for ages. Looks like this will be the edition I buy :) |

| Every other company take note (minus Bethesda), this is how DLC should be done. I don't want 1 hour of new gameplay for $5. I want a big expansion pack. Shivering Isles and this are doing it right. |

I'm not buying this one unless I know for sure the game will fully support my 1920x1080p resolution on my TV.
Drove me nuts that there we black horizontal bars on the top and bottom of the screen when playing the game. Game should easily be able to support such a resolution. |

| So is the achievement list for the disc version going to have a separate achievement list? Or will it be like the original plus DLC? |

There's no free expansion DLC, the editor read it wrong and paraphrased it wrong.
From Capcom Unity:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/neilgortz/blog/2013/01/23/delve-deep-into-terror-with-dragons-dogma-dark-arisen-this-april
The full game AND expansion are coming out in disc or digital download together, the expansion won't be available stand-alone.
The free stuff for original owners are the crystals, stones and armor pack.
That's why they say it's possible to export to game data to this version.
It's kinda like Street Fighter 4 and Super Street Fighter 4, but you can export your save from one to the other. |

Yeah I think you guys need to cool it a bit. Just because a run-on sentence ended in free, doesn't means this whole expansion is free. My money is on the armor and stuff was free if you still had the game, and the expansion will have a price. Before people get pissed when they find out they gotta pay, because they bought the old version on the cheap rather than waiting for the combined version, we need some kind of confirmation on costs and such.
Free expansion is nice of them, but I can probably find a copy, used most likely, for less than what the new one will cost. Thinking logically, that's not good business. It's one thing to make it free, and another to spend the money printing new discs and cases when they won't be making anything back. |

@26
I knew it was too good to be true, especially from Capcom. So basically, we have to buy the whole game again if we want to play the expansion. |

Crybaby cry, 29.
PC expansions always have and still regularly do cost $40. That's exactly what they're doing here, except for first-time players they're giving you the original game for free. This is excellent for new players, and for those that already have it it's the same as anything else.
This isn't DLC, it's an expansion. Console games rarely get expansions so you all simply don't seem to want to understand what is going on.
Considering Amazon has not tried to sell the game for less than $40 ever, and only before Christmas was it below $45, this seems like a great deal to me. I'll buy it. |

Forum Posts: 13 | Comment #32 by flyersfan87 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 @ 04:07:18 PM | |
@29 No that's not what it means at all. You can buy the expansion separately...like any other DLC. This article is just telling you about a retail release for the expansion that comes packaged with the original game.
You people need to chill man, its like you look for any little to complain about. |

Go see the original article on Capcom Unity:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/neilgortz/blog/2013/01/23/delve-deep-into-terror-with-dragons-dogma-dark-arisen-this-april
It will NOT be released as separate DLC, Dark Arisen is being released as a FULL game. |

Okay then this article is patently wrong because according to how it reads, it implies you could buy it separately from this part right here:
"Owners of the original Dragon's Dogma will be able to download the Dark Arisen expansion and obtain 100,000 Rift Crystals, unlimited Ferrystones and the Gransys Armour Pack consisting of six brand new costumes for free.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen will also be available to purchase on disc and will include all of the content from the original Dragon's Dogma as well as the following Dark Arisen content:" |

Following the announcement of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen last year we are now pleased to confirm concrete details about this expansion to the world of Dragon’s Dogma. Scheduled for release on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from April 23 in North America and April 26 across Europe, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is the next exciting chapter in the Dragon’s Dogma franchise. Coming both on a physical disc and as a full game digital download, the title delivers a huge brand new area, missions, enemies and more, plus all of the content from the original game. Hit the jump for details, screenshots, and a trailer!
Just off the Gransys mainland is the cursed Bitterblack Isle and it is here that gamers will discover an underground realm, complete with new terrifying foes to face and incredible treasure to find as they embark on an all new quest. Owners of the original Dragon’s Dogma will be able to export their existing characters and all other saved data, to continue their journey as the Arisen and face this new threat that has emerged from the cavernous depths. Players will be able to take their characters to new heights, with brand new high-level skills and augments as well as all new weapons and armour sets. For those that missed Dragon’s Dogma the first time around, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen provides the opportunity to start their journey from the very beginning before tackling the all new content.
Furthermore, owners of the original Dragon’s Dogma will receive the following for free on purchasing Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen: 100,000 Rift Crystals, unlimited Ferrystones and the Gransys Armour Pack consisting of six brand new costumes.
Based on player feedback, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen will make the Dragon’s Dogma gameplay experience even more satisfying, with improvements such as easier travel and a more intuitive menu system. For those who already own Dragon’s Dogma and then purchase Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, these improvements will be automatically retrofitted to their original game.
So, what does Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen deliver?
All of the content from the original Dragon’s Dogma plus…
A massive new underground realm to explore featuring over 25 terrifying new enemies
More skills/equipment/augments: Level 3 Skills DD:DA provides each character class with a new tier of skills, giving players new devastating abilities and skills to master

| @30 I can see how it would be a deal for those who haven't purchased the game. But there are those who paid the original $59.99 for the game, and paying another $39.99 for an expansion is ludicrous. The most expansion packs usually range from $20-$30, not $40. |

@ #38
Yeah, it's amazing how an expansion starts seeming smaller after you know the price point. $40 is alot of money. |

@38-39
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening was $40 and followed a similar route but didn't have the full game on the disc. This is actually better because you get not only the full game but the huge expansion. |

| Hadn't got this game yet because it's still going for 59.99 retail everywhere around where I live, but this makes me want the game and the expansion that much more. I am definitely liking the added freebies too. From what I understand all I you have to do to get them is own the game? So meaning, everyone who has a copy of the game will get those freebies? |

@#6 - When has there ever been DLC for $15 that only lasted an hour? (Actually asking, I refuse to buy things that are that much digitally anymore, and most of my games have DLC for $5-10, but I get it discounted). Though I have seen $10 - 1 hour DLC.
But RE5 had $5 1 hour DLC.
@#14 - This would be funny if it wasn't tired and stupid now. RE6 has given out a lot of free dlc (RE.net costume swaps, Agent, No Hope Difficulty). Granted, it was on disc, but it was still free (as it should be). ORC had free DLC, the original Dead Rising. |

Divinity 2: Ego Draconis cane out a few years ago, then saw an expansion The Dragon Knight Saga. When they released the expansion on 360 they gave the original game an upgrade and released both the original game and the expansion on 1 disc and it cost $40.
So this has been done before. Don't see why people have to complain about it. |

@6 I don't know exactly how long certain DLC packs last but I know stuff that has sold for 800-1200 MS points that totally wasn't worth the price. One recent example is ME3's Omega DLC. I believe that DLC is roughly four hours long and in my opinion, terrible in quality. Even without the latter, is that worth $15? I don't think so.
I was just making a joke about the 1 hour part but in all seriousness, DLC today is typically overpriced. Compared with some standout DLC packs, its apples and oranges. Old World Blues is said to be about 10 hours long and has fantastic written dialogue. That's good value if you ask me. |
