Unskippable: Dragon's Dogma

[kyogen]

Wait, do you actually play as the heartless dead(?) dude? Or are you a totally unrelated hero who comes in afterwards?

However you customize your character, yes. The dragon will take her/his heart at the beginning of the game and leave the player character with a challenge to come and take it back.

EDIT: No one considers the player character to be undead, btw. There are undead enemies in the game, and they are completely different. More like classic zombies. The player character is just magically connected to/marked by the dragon.

Somehow the "x time I died" joke is still funny to me.

Having played Dragon's Dogma, I eagerly anticipated that joke. I was not disappointed.

I always enjoy those; they never get old. Also, did one of the guys make a math joke in that video?

 

[LadyRhian]

Man, Default Guy is almost... pretty. Are you sure he's actually a guy?

 

[Gunjester]

the nerd in me always wondered about that, how exactly does it work, does his blood still flow threw him, and so how? Or is he like...a walking dead?

Writers:. . . Uhhhh . . . MAGIC!

 

[varmintx]

Was I the only one expecting a Dragonheart reference at some point?

Apparently not:

And Paul, everyone knows dragons have a Scottish accent.

I'm not sure.

However, I seem to remember him saying "and that was the tenth time I died" in the Darkness 2 video. So this should be 11th...

Why was there a heartbeat sound effect when it cut to a close up, right after it showed his heart being eaten? None of that fight made sense. I almost want to look into the plot to find out if it gets explained. Almost.

But DS9 goes to the Gamma Quadrant. The Delta Quadrant is pretty much wild space.

And yet even it couldn't keep Voyager interesting for very long.

 

[ace_of_something]

Here's something mind blowing. The dragon? Yeah that great big one. It's name is Grigori. So the dragon could be called 'Greg' for short.

But you're okay with the heart glowing and floating in to the dragon's mouth?

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Best Let's Play I've seen of this video game and DAT INTRO!!

Well... yeah. I can accept that because if the fantasy says there's a big magical dragon, the dragon having what looks like telekinesis isn't illogical. It's a magic dragon, it can do what it wants. What bugged me was more like bad editing. It would be like having someone's tongue ripped out and then the sound guy adds in a giant "No!" in post-production immediately afterwards. It doesn't make sense so it breaks the illusion. Granted the illusion of Dragon's Dogma doesn't look all that convincing, but my point stands.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

This has me thinking. Apart from Odahviing, has there ever been a giant dragon that shows/wakes up, and is just cool with things, rather than causing shit to go down? Though, even Odahviing was a bit ornery, for awhile.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

The best part was when the Dragon skipped Defaultman across the water like a stone. Also "nTh time I died" reference.

 

[empirialtank]

If the dragon was patient a time lord could make for a whole meal and not just a snack.

All you have to do is rip out one heart, wait for the time lord to regenerate and then eat another heart. This way a dragon could eat a whole 14 hearts! take that link!

Time Lords, a dragon's chocolate box.

 

[Frozengale]

I think this is my favorite Unskippable so far. Good stuff here.

...hey, you know, I think that Henri dude is knocking us gamers. Let's send him a fax of a pizza!

 

[LadyRhian]

Man, Default Guy is almost... pretty. Are you sure he's actually a guy?

well it is a Japanese games and most male characters have a very bishonen look.

Ah. Understood.

 

[tehweave]

I love Default guy! He's so... Regular. And... Average! And... Completely lacking of character! It's great.

Also, apparently it's not necessary to have a heart. News to me.

 

[Extragorey]

Haha awesome stinger with the time lords reference.

And have video game protagonists really died 10 times in Unskippable or is 10 just a random number?
