(http://www.vg247.com/2015/09/08/dragons-dogma-dark-arisen-pc-release/) ...is coming to PC in its complete Dark Arisen form!

This was one of my favourite games on PS3, and I will be immediately snapping it up on PC. Some of the best boss battles in RPG history, and a really neat character system too!

I keep confusing this with Dragon's Crown. Imagine my confusion when I clicked on that link and wasn't confronted with grotesque boobery.

Good. I was waiting for it to happen someday, and lo and behold. Patience rewards the blah blah blah, etc. Capcom's finally getting with it.

Now if SEGA could port Vanquish to the PC, and maybe work something out for Bayonetta 1, that'd be just super. Vanquish at the very least deserves some 1080p 60 FPS love.

Very cool. I loved/hated Dragon's Dogma on the X360 and I've been sorta wanting to play Dark Arisen. Will probably wait for a sale anyway, but I'm glad it's showing up on a system I have.

As someone who haven't been paying attention to this game (since it was console exlusive), the only info that reached me about it was the (http://www.cracked.com/article_20603_6-hilarious-video-game-glitches-you-have-to-see-to-believe.html) infamous romance thing in the original release. (http://img06.deviantart.net/7bba/i/2013/053/2/6/darling_s_dogma_by_quadforcefive-d5vw3iy.png) Too hilarious. :D

Not that it will happen, but I wouldn't mind a Dark Souls + Artorias DLC port to PS4...

Why wouldn't that happen? Lots of games get HD rereleases these days. Dark Souls 2 already got one in the form of Scholar of the First Sin. And once Dark Souls 3 is out there's going to be a big enough market of people who will want the entire DS trilogy on PS4 that Bamco will be tempted to put out a DS1 rerelease. Hell, they might even bundle it with Demons, for a Souls Legacy collection or something! :D

SQUEEEE! Christmas has come early!
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/367500/?snr=1_620_4__47) Dragon's Dogma is now available on Steam!

Handily, I had £20 in my wallet thanks to selling stuff from my inventory, so it cost me the grand total of £3.99!

I had been eyeing that up. My younger brother was pretty enthusiastic about it on the PS4, so could be worth a pop. From what I've read though, the DLC area is game-breakingly hard in the last 1/3rd though. Either way, my backlog says it's OK for me wait for this to be on sale.

Nah, you just have to persist at it.
The DLC is very much a dungeon crawl, and a welcome challenge after completing the main game. It's basically randomised encounters in set maps in a semi-random order. A lot of the monsters are brand new, or hard variants of existing ones. Some encounters can only be triggered while you're carrying certain things, and at any point, you may have the Death boss appear.

Death's one of the more interesting bosses in recent gaming, as you'll fight him for a while and then he'll disappear, only to appear at a later random point with no warning. He has a nasty combo attack where he raises his lantern, which puts you and your pawns to sleep if you're caught in the radius and don't have sleep immunity. Then when you're asleep, he winds up an instant-kill, wide area scythe attack.

It'll take several encounters before you'll finally "kill" him, and when you do, it's incredibly satisfying.
