3 reasons Dragons Dogma is a triumph of design over Skyrim

Article

The guy pretty much hits the nail on the head ( Before the hate, and jelly comes :cool:, I have both games, hundreds of hours in both, and platinumed Skyrim on PS3)

He goes into good detail on the 3 main reasons, but the biggest reason, and this is still something Bethesda just can't seem to get right, is the fighting/gameplay.

can't play skyrim on ps3... resorted to playing dragons dogma. :P

Did you make this thread because skyrim is crap on the PS3?

The problem with Dragon's Dogma is that it is full of what are apparently good ideas and concepts but hardly any of them is well implemented.

Had fun playing DD for 327 hours and i couldn't stand Skyrim after 100h. DD is a better game.silversix_

So are Cows going to start hating on Skyrim because of their butthurt over how much of a mess it is on the PS3? :lol:

To be honest I didnt realise it wasn't, but didnt it score pretty average in any case?:cool:

Yeah DD is much better than Skyrim imo (no sh*t) though both got some problems.

I really want to get back into Skyrim because I love exploring the world Bethesda created, but the combat is just too stale and unsatisfying to hold my interest. I'll have to explore some mods that might help this.

A triumph. Hmph. Choosing which faults you can tolerate in DD over Skyrim is hardly a triumph, it's just a matter of taste.

I'll agree, DD has a great combat system, but praising the atrocious dialog and bland, barren world is just insane.

I heard it takes 10 times longer to finish Skyrim on PS3

Skyrim seems to have a better world and atmosphere but everything inside that world is boring and bland with cardboard characters that only spring to life when you talk to them. Like when you leave a town and come back it's like the people weren't living when you were away and the world doesn't carry on without you. Dragon's Dogma has better content inside its world but the world itself is rather dull to look at.

Combine both and you would have something cool

Dark Souls says hi.parkurtommo

I agree with his first point, and his second is sort of a non issue for either (since the dialogue in both games is bad). However, I would strongly disagree with his third point about exploration being rewarded.

When I rented the game, I often found that my early attempts to go off the beaten path were met with swift death due to my underleveled party. Even just following mission markers was often a lottery, since some of the missions dolled out earlier on are all but impossible to complete without grinding levels.

This wouldn't be an issue if the quests were graded based on difficulty, or if there was a fast travel system implemented at the beginning. However, when I played the game (about a month or two ago) neither of these systems existed. Therefore I would often trek for 15-45 minutes toward a quest, only to be mercilessly slaughtered and sent all the way back to an auto save in the city I initially left.

Even saving on the road makes little difference, since you still have to track back if you are hitting a difficulty wall, and try and find a quest that is actually on par with your level. I really tried to enjoy the game, and look past its shortcomings, but after about 10 hours or so I just got fed up of all the time I was wasting attempting quests only to die or retreat, backtrack and then try another.

I am aware that later on you can buy objects that allow you to fast travel, but they should just allow it throughout the entire game. They should also grade the quests, since then you know what you're getting into, and your first time through the game you can easily follow the path the developers laid out for you.

That was indeed a fantastic game but Skyrim was still better. Lots more playtime value.

So is that a yes? You didn't give an answer, all you did was ask a question.

I don't understand why people says good things about DD's combat... I tried the demo and what turned me down completely was the combat TBH.

Indeed... it felt way too hack n slash (at least in the demo) but in a bad way. I managed to take down the chimera in seconds and with zero strategy involved, just mashing the hit button.
