@Grift this looks awesome to be, climbing on a beast and having to fight it in the air, and no QTE, good to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQRFIdncV4U

That video Blmbox posted is barely showing off any special abilities other than hack and slash. Thats the basic of basics in melee they are showing off. And it is in God Mode to make sure enemies dont die so they can showcase it longer.

Well the genre isn't teeming with great action combat :) It looks to have more action and more diversity than your average action RPG.
Obviously, because the dude who is in charge of this title said that they are focusing alot on the combat in this game so its more as an action game with RPG elements, rather RPG with action elements, if that makes sense lol.

Have to agree with blim, the combat looks avg to me, just like Amalur and i could not finish 20% of that game without getting bored to death. But i will hold of judging until i play the demo.

Dark Souls/Demon Souls?

I don't know man, I can't think any other openworld RPG out there with more intuitive combat system.

Throws us a bone out here fellas....

No date yet as far as i know. I don't think it should take long, maybe in a couple of weeks... All we know is it comes before launch.

Here's what we know from demo: (official site)
We're pleased to confirm that Dragon's Dogma will be receiving a playable demo before release available on Xbox LIVE and the Playstation Store. The demo will feature two playable missions. The first will let players take on the deadly Griffin as a bow wielding Strider. The second will allow players to take on the role of a Fighter and play through a mountain temple where they'll square off with a ferocious Chimera. The demo will also feature the full character customization suite, allowing players to create and fully customize their character and main pawn and import them into the final retail game. We'll have more info to come soon so stay tuned!

Very very nice.
I read something about before game release demo, good to get it validated.

Well I am definitely gonna try the demo since I am keep having mixed feeling about the combat and the world itself.
Last thing I want is another Amalur. Empty vastlands with decent combat, I barely could finished Amalur after middle of the game, but I pushed through it lol

I have to keep wondering what exactly makes it exceptional, because I haven't seen it yet.

Edit: It's also worth noting that, if I'm comparing it to anything, it's The Witcher 2 - another game just on the horizon which is at least a third person game. And it looks much, much better.

Name names. RPG's please. It's neat how no one actually has any examples. Also.. Witcher combat.. better? Lolz.

If that's the best we can do I think that's downright absurd.

Witcher 1 has shitty combat, 2 is better, but I dont like it so much.
I do like Witcher 2's more thoughtout use of the magic spells though. But yeah that is definitely not any better.
So much good animation for wasted on alot of useless spins for Geralt, sad.

One thing DD has in combat i hate from the getgo is each hit has this freeze delay in animation, I hate that. Lion fists in GoW3 had it, Lords of Shadow has this issue as well (happens randomly, but its there).

@Grift
I think the reason why nobody can mention one is because pretty much all fantasy RPGs has shit combat in the end not worth mentioning, it would be extremely rare to find one that manages to come close to having everything a action game like DMC or NG has, but without being a "button masher". But since its "action RPG" I think button mashing is...okay? i dont know lol
I mean you got to press buttons to make your character do alot of hits one after the other :P

I think Amalur had decent combat, very very decent (i am saying it lightly lol) and DD seems to be a bit better, but thats not saying much.

Just looks like a pretty standard button masher, with the standard heavy/light attacks etc. Don't get me wrong, there are some elements I like, especially when it comes to the huge enemies - and the mage looks pretty sweet - but there's nowhere near enough here to peak my interest.

Oh, and the survival horror aspect at night is really neat.

But I am a massive fantasy nut, so I have to be invested in the world and its lore to be in the least bit interested. And again, the world looks bland - and the visuals are really muddy and uninspiring.

But there is a demo coming out right? So I'm willing to be converted. :)

All melee games, be it action or RPG with real time combat is a button masher when you start pressing buttons to do more than 3 attacks in row. I am getting sick of people saying "its button masher" just because its looks so actiony in a RPG during combat. I mean you have to press buttons constantly to do attacks dont you?
I mean Witcher 2 combat, its very button mashing heavy but you seem to like that one for some reason lol

Skyrim, during melee combat it is "trigger mashing", mash those triggers (obuttons or mouse) to constantly do swings, but that gets no "button mashing" comment.
