Diablo 3 vs Skyrim (Pros & Cons)

I know similar topics have been posted before, but has anyone ever looked at the good and bad comparisons of each?

For example as we all know Diablo 3 has a plethora of more loot then probably any game in the genre, especially Skyrim.

However Diablo 3 also forces you to clear an entire area thoroughly in order to get the max amount of XP points and loot from that area.

Where as Skyrim allows you to fast travel to the area of your choice, choose a particular quest or location and collect various loot.

Combat system belongs to Diablo 3 hands down, a Diablo 3 character can rain down lightning and various other multiple attacks with virtually no slowdown. Skyrim you can shoot flames at one wolf and the framerate drops to a near freeze up.

So there is a lot to be said for the linear and the free roam on each side......anyone else have valid points for either side?

What !?

This is like saying nba 2k14 or fifa 14. Only thing common about the two is they are both sports games. Only thing common about Diablo and skyrim is they both have rpg somewhere in their description

First off, as already mentioned, two VERY different games.

One is an Action RPG FOCUSED on loot. The other is a more classic style, open world RPG where narrative and exploration are the focus

And also, I don't know what you're runnign Skyrim on, but I don't experience any frame drops when using firespells, or anything really, even with the 40+ mods I've got installed.

0/10

One as a loot oriented action rpg and the other is a traversal focused action adventure.

Both suck - another thing in common.

Both are best on PC.

You picked the one game in the last 5 years where this is not true. D3 is better on consoles due to the loot not being tied to the AH.

1. 8.5 > 8.0

2. PC is gettign rid of Ah and getting expansion first and loot 2.0 first. Doubtful any of those latter ones will come to console version withint 3 years.
