It's not Gamespot you should be insulting but rather GameFaqs moderators who have nothing better to do with their time.

@OP

It's still an MMO.

Thus it still sucks.

Not to be rude, but Diablo 3 looks like a much, much better game than Dragon Dogma and is not even a contest.

madsnakehhh

Ha. Diablo 3 is a top down hack and slash loot RPG which is a piece of turd compared to Baldur's Gate. If you have fun slaying waves after waves of enemies then good for you. Dragon Age 2 was made for you and I bet you enjoyed it.

Dragon's Dogma is a open world, party based RPG with traditional RPG mechanics. Choices influence the plot leading to multiple endings, classes each have different abilities and benefits along with flaws (meaning you'll need to make sure you have a good party to make up for the flaws of each class akin to Baldur's Gate), statistics play a huge role, characters have huge backgrounds, the world is bigger than Skyrim's world, the difficulty is almost on par to Dark Souls, the game becomes a survival horror at night, dungeons and caves are atmospheric and you need a latern to give you light in the dark otherwise everything is pitch black, you can grab onto enemy giant enemy, you can hold enemies for your companions to strike and vice versa, you can issue commands to your companions, you can customize your main companion in apperence and tactics, you can tell companions to pick up loot for you, you can make companions aggressive or less aggressive, the character creation is one of the best to date as your character's height, weight and even gender play a role in everything you do. Taller characters run faster whereas smaller characters are less fast but better at dodging and having attacks missed.

Dragon's Dogma Gameplay: Action and Strategy

Dragon's Dogma Genre: Action RPG.http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/dragon's-dogma?before=1328994752

6) How will Dragon's Dogma be different from other Action RPG's?

Dragon's Dogma differs from other Action RPG's in that it offers a signature blend of Capcom's renowned action with an incredible open world and rich story line. With hundreds of fully voiced NPCs, vast open environments, and the epic monsters fans have come to expect from Capcom, Dragon's Dogma is a unique take on the genre that only Capcom could produce.

I know which one looks more like an RPG and which one doesn't. Diablo 3 is an action-RPG with loot and killing being the emphasis. Dragon's Dogma is an action-RPG, with strategy, statistics, exploration, story, choices and action being the emphasis. Additional, the customization in Dragon's Dogma is better as well as you can even choose your character's underpants.

One character from Dragon's Dogma:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExL9dxsTYHY

Background:

The House of Biquard can trace their family line back to a cousin of Godking Leonart, the great man who, ages ago, defeated the dragon and united the entire continent. Lord Biquard currently governs the lands around Meloire as mesne lord.

The reason that Meloire has been spared from the many conflicts of the age and never invaded by other kingdoms or demesnes is due largely to the existence of the House of Biquard. Sharing the same bloodline as the military-genius Leonart, those from the House of Biquard are blessed with a similar gift and Meloirean soldiers are widely known as excellent fighters.

Though their military might is great, however, the mesne lords of the House of Biquard have never shown much interest in expanding their demesne. It is as a result of these fortuitous characteristics that Meloire has never invited aggression but also never made its neighbors feel threatened.

Meloire has therefore been ruled in peace for many years and an unwritten rule hangs over its allies: by entering into relations with the House of Biquard you vow not to invade or allow invasion of their demesne.

This reputation of strength and stability was the reason why the duke of Gransys sought a wife from the House of Biquard. The "Wyrmking" Edmun was a hero who had defeated a dragon of his own. It was only natural for him to pursue a descendant of one who was his equal in great deeds, the Godking Leonart.

As the current lord of Meloire had no daughters, this honor fell to his niece, Aelinore. She was beautiful but immature, and there were many who had feared she would have difficulty finding a husband. Being able to use her lineage to marry her off to the hero Edmun Dragonsbane—he himself eager to gain the status such a union would bring—was a source of great satisfaction in the House of Biquard.

And so Aelinore was sent to be Edmun's bride, though not of her own desire. She had not even seen the face of her future husband prior to the day of their wedding ceremony. Yet this was her fate as a woman born into the House of Biquard. Even Aelinore, still naïve in so many ways, understood that much.

The marriage of the hero Edmun was heartily welcomed by the people of Gransys. Everyone believed that it meant the birth of a successor would follow quickly after, carrying on their hero's bloodline.

The faces of the people, overflowing with happiness, did bring Aelinore some small joy. Though she had not wanted this marriage for herself, she could comfort herself that she was fulfilling the duty of one born into a noble house by bringing cheer to so many people.

But there would be no reports of an impending heir to hearten the people of Gransys. Even after the exchange of their marriage vows, Aelinore remained as pure and untouched as she was the day that she was delivered to Edmun.

Perhaps the reason for the duke's frigidity is a dark secret, lurking within his heart...

One character from Diablo 3:

http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Kormac

Background:

The templar are holy warriors, fighting for justice and eschewing the dangers that lead to cultism and demonic possession by espousing self-denial. They do not merely pay lip service to protecting the realm - they are battle-trained and experienced to a man, and the brooding, dedicated Kormac is a paragon among them.

Kormac came to the order as a young man, and was quickly molded into the ideal templar, adapting naturally to an ascetic way of life. His devotion is particularly unshakable, even for one of his order, and, despite his respect for battle prowess, his disdain for those who don't share his high moral standards is readily apparent.

LOL. Diablo 3 characters can't even compare! Oh and here's the Glorious PC Masterace BEGGING CAPCOMfor Dragon's Dogma:
