Almost a year after the release of Dragon's Dogma, Capcom gives us Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, which includes the original game and its brand new extension. This new edition also comes with a HD texture pack, but it's not that obvious to see the difference honestly (old versus new). The main interest lies obviously in Bitterblack, the new hostile environment which is made available very early in the adventure - should you be a newcomer. Beware though, as this is not a place you want to go to unless you reach a certain level - as proven in our last video.

New armor and weapons are only available via excessive grinding (including finding the items + farming the rift-currency for examining them). The boss wasn't impressive (on hard mode he has a second form which is harder than the defeating the offline-Ur Dragon though).
The HD textures...I haven't noticed a difference, tbh.
Story is almost non existent. There is one but the add-on only has like 2 little longer cutscenes at the end. The rest are just ghost voices from dead bodies you can hear when you passed them.
They replaced the awesome main menu theme from the original game :(
Dragon forged weapons now have two more upgrade levels (silver and gold level emblem).
In conclusion: Dark Arisen is only avialable if you buy Dragons Dogma twice actually. And for THAT I really I expected muuuch more content (maybe a new small island or so). I can't recommend Dark Arisen for owners of DD.
But for everyone who missed Dragons Dogma: buy it!

Thats why on PS3 with help of BluRay it was already there, they didnt improve anything visually...same old visuals.
