Something to fill the Skyrim void?
User Rating: 8 | Dragon's Dogma PS3
I miss Skyrim. I played it for 4 months straight and went through withdrawal after it was over. So, I hoped "Dragon's Dogma" would satisfy my itch. Not quite! I will admit that "Dogma" does draw me in, but there is an absence of the reality factor that "Skyrim" possessed. In "Dogma" fighting is more action oriented with charges and fancy moves that you feel you launched as opposed to the control you feel you have in "Skyrim." There are also no Quick Slots for using supplies quickly. Here you need to open inventories and sort through items to find what you need. And there is a lot of stuff! While I do have the patience, there are times when I wished things would move along quicker. All in all, I think the main issue with "Dogma" is that it does not draw me in the way "Skyrim" did. I sense a "cartoon" atmosphere in "Dogma." I will continue playing as I search for a "Skyrim" replacement. Not quite there with "Dogma." The Pawn system is interesting however, especially the idea that my Main Pawn can ventuire off with other players when I am resting at an Inn. There was something cool about hearing that my Main Pawn went adventuring when I was resting and he even brought back information useful on my quest.
