Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen vs The Sims 3
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen casts you into the role of an adventurer leading a band of three AI companions (a.k.a. Pawns) as you set off into a huge and gorgeous open world in search of fame, glory and treasures. One of the main selling points in this game is the incredibly well-designed combat system where you'll actually need to approach your battles and your opponents strategically rather than simply rush head-on. Find out the weaknesses of your enemies and attack them at their achilles' heel.The game also has some of the most amazing AI learning systems in place where the combat style of each Pawn will change depending on the traits learned from the player. In other words, you can literally train your Pawns to fill in the roles you need them to be. Whether you'll train them as a versatile fighter or to play a very specific role in your group... well, that's entirely up to you. Players will even have a ton of options to choose from when it comes to customizing their characters.
Despite the slightly weaker storyline, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the best monster-hunting and slaying RPGs out there where the action-based gameplay feels smooth and realistic enough to immerse you completely during intense battles with monstrous creatures. If this sounds just like a game you'd like to play, be sure to give the game a try!
The Sims 3
The Sims 3 lets you design your ideal world from the ground up and influence the Sims living in it. The customization in this game is astounding - you can create your perfect Sim by changing his/her looks, outfits and even the personality traits. You'll even get a home that you can decorate as you please as well. Being a life simulation game, you'll also need to guide your Sim as he/she step on the rollercoaster of life, develop a career, find a partner for life, accumulate skills and knowledge, and chase after their dreams. Interestingly, you can even record your Sim's adventures and share them with the game's vibrant community.The Sims 3 definitely one-ups its predecessor in so many ways and is worth every cent you put into it. The replayability is as amazing as ever and the gameplay is simply perfect for its genre.
