Dragon's Dogma - Preview @ Destructoid

Well I gave the demo a quick spin (PS3)… I finished the quest that has you killing a Chimaera, and then I died fighting the Griffin in the other one. I had mixed feelings overall.

The visuals are impressive, and the boss battles have a truly epic feel to them. I also enjoyed the combat in general. I could see this being a blast to play in co-op, but afaik there is no co-op mode.

I don't see how this is being labled as an RPG though. I guess you could say it's an action-RPG in the purest form, but it seems more like an action-adventure to me.

I remember from E3 last year the developers even said its not a rpg yet everywhere I look now its labeled as one now.

From what I played and read about from previews it sounds and plays like a new take on monster hunter. Its an open world action-adventure game with dark souls difficulty.

Still I find myself not liking the game and can't see myself enjoying it. Back to Skyrim and maybe Risen 2.
