Dragon's Dogma got best character creator.
>>
Best freedom?
>>
>>321707495
Best combat, climbing the shit of a monster is hell of a fun specially if you compare the combat with the one on the witcher 3,
Wich is just shit
>>
Dark Souls gameplay is intense because your character is fragile, but it is quite simplistic and a lot of the challenge is mitigated when you learn to roll, at which point it largely becomes a fishing simulator. Dragon's Dogma gameplay is more developed, more free, more grand and more varied. You could maybe argue that a lot of it is just pointless flare, but that flare results in moments that you don't really see in other games

why though? What? We're not even comparing only open world rpgs here, but all of them. No way.

There is better

Best point of Witcher series are characters and character progression. So I can concede this point

Dragon's Dogma has good combat and a lot of the smaller things make it stand out but the core of an RPG experience, the story, is absolute shit until the last 30 minutes.

>>321713003
DaS2 doesn't have insta-parries and backstabs can be escaped from if they are not timed well

Sure but I didn't buy it for story

Just as I sure as fuck didn't buy witcher3 for its combat/gathering/crafting mechanics

each game has its purpose
>>
>>321713071
I don't understand. This is vague as fuck. Dragon's dogma has better combat mechanics than all of the other examples, has a neat character creator and class progression, great non-scaling difficulty.

I don't know what you mean by "gameplay" It encompasses too much as a word.
>>
>>321713735

It means what plays out as you game

Most expansive lore. The sheer amount of it is nearing Star Wars EU levels.

You keep being vague.

>>321710743
>Backstab is much slower and has a wind-up

No. It doesn't. Look at a video of the backstabs and see how often they fail.

It's still a viable stratagem

I agree with him though. You haven't presented a counter argument but you did post anime so it's a fair bet that no matter what your opinion is anyway, it's wrong and so gay that when you mention it, the entire world will lose a bit more faith in mankind.

Nah. Witcher's gameplay outside of walking around and fighting is just pressing x through dialogue. DS has all kinds of puzzles and weapon upgrading and lore hunting and exercising a level of circumspection by the player that no other game series does.

Skull Knight.

Bethesda RPGs are really just sort of in their own category since very few open world first person rpgs are created.

Nice bait.
Dark Souls consists of pressing r1 until you kill every copy and pasted enemy through some dark corridor from start to finish.
Witcher 3 has main quests, side quests, monster hunting, whores banging, racing, brawling, drinking, card games and more.
Even the quest has more variety than just sword fighting.
>>
>>321716597
Witcher 1 combat is shit.
2 is better.
3 is miles better.
>>
>>321715013
This.
Michael Kirkbride and Ken Rolston, extremely underrated people that most of /v/ don't know about. Those two basically made Elder Scrolls. Yet fags only know about Todd "Tell me lies" "Infinite Quests" Howard.

And lol at PC gamers, it was Xbox fans that bought most of the Morrowind copies and the reason Elder Scroll kept going. It was Howard when he had full control of TES that he fucked Oblivion and then Skyrim.

That's good, since combat in the witcher series has always been shit, there must be something to compensate

Guy is the George Lucas of TES. All his ideas are just stolen from other works and everything he does without a team of people telling him "No." is trash.

>>321717165
Nice attempt at dodging the argument.
>>
>>321716737
All had you had to do was say you never played a souls game.

90% of the things you described were just walking around, pressing x through dialogue then walking to kill stuff. The horse "races" were a joke and impossible to lose. And "whores banging" was not gameplay. It was pressing X to watch a cutscene. How you can consider that gameplay is beyond me. I did like gwent and liars dice but those things do not give witch more gameplay than dark souls. Fail harder, mate.
>>
>>321717284
Because they're salty as fuck.
>>
>>321707003
Souls and Witcher games basically have the same combat system. Attack (Auto-Attack) and Block. Very simple, doesn't make it bad.

Dragon's Dogma kek? Despite having one of the most interesting real time combat yet? This has to be a troll.

>>Elder Scrolls - ???
Lore and world. TES wipes their ass with those three games when it comes to world, lore, quests and wonder overall. TES can be so much more, it's just in the wrong hands in the wrong period, if gaming and society wasn't so infantilized, it would have been the pinnacle.
>>
>>321717735
>TES wipes their ass with those three games when it comes to world, lore, quests and wonder overall
Of course, that's the main characteristic of TES games, it's also kinda stupid to compare it to Souls games in general since they try to achieve a completely different theme

It's becoming a joke because this is one of the few typical responses a Souls fan manages to utter.

Top kek. Complete shit net code and kiting enemies and rolling sure is GOAT amirite?
>>
>>321719791
is there PVP in dragons dogma?
>>
>>321707003

Elder Scroll has best lore.

Dark souls has best world design, and multiplayer.

>>321719902
No pvp + pawn system > PvP where you're consistently stabbed when you're 4 feet from the tip of some laggy fuck's spear
>>
>>321720246

It's not better, it's just different.

PvE is fine and all, but some people want PvP.

PvE is very limited in scope and complexity.

You never know exactly what your enemy will be in DS PvP
>>
>>321720246
The lag is a pain in the dick but it definitely makes things really interesting having people invade you so they can regain their humanity or suddenly being summoned to another player's world because you're in a covenant that is sworn to any player in trouble who happens to be wearing your covenant's ring. Already preordered DD and the co op is most likely better from the looks of things but Souls games just do a lot of really unique things when it comes to multiplayer.
