lol

Dark Souls really is an amazing game. It has a kind of tension all in its own league, cause you die so easy, and when you die you lose some of your progress, and you can never pause or quickload out of trouble. You really feel like you got something to lose in Dark Souls, unlike Skyrim, but Skyrim has better exploration, world, story, graphics and more content. /random comparison rant

I tried Dark Souls but didn't very much like it, Skyrim is so much better, that's my opinion.

Ha!

I've heard many good things about Dark Souls. It's on my Christmas list.

meh, if you like Dark Souls better then that's cool, but the two aren't really comparable.

Personally, after 114 hours of Skyrim I've gone back to BF3 and Fallout 3.

rofl some people are really pissed by this vid. XD That's what I was expecting though in a Skyrim board.

Skyrim is fun, but I hate how the Dragon spawn rate is so ridiculously high and how Dragons are so incredibly weak. Even the elder, blood and ancient dragons are a joke. And it's hard to explore the world without getting a random dragon show up every 2 minutes.. Plus they're kinda boring to fight considering they spend 90% of the time flying in the air.

Hilarious video. Seems like it's rubbed people up the wrong way :rofl:

i missed the hilarity... what time was it at in the video?

:rofl:

should of learnt some dragon shouts...

Shouldnt have stolen that sweet roll

Considering how much I hated Demon's Souls, no chance I am ever going to play Dark Souls. There is challenging and then there is just giving enemy stupid stats, I found Demon's Souls to be the latter rather then the former it's difficulty was not because it's a challenging game, it's difficulty is the fact that the player is a sheet of paper that gets torn to shreds to the smallest gust of wind. Also if Dark Souls has the same broken multi-player as Demon's Souls had then my words are hell, no.

Skyrim can be set to master difficulty but that's just going the same way as dark souls, making the difficulty only a thing of boosting enemies stats so much that the player becomes a sheet of paper rather then actually difficult. Action RPGs should be more then just learning an enemies move set and then abusing their AI until they fall over dead. Now I get there are people that like these grind quest games like Dark/Demon's Souls but to me they're hollow games with little to actually offer over going to the local S&M club because your idea of difficulty is about being beaten like a ragdoll more then it is actually about being "challenging".

To this respect I'd say fallout 3 was a more challenging game then either the of the Souls games and more challenging then skyrim. You aren't a paper sheet but if you just run into situations head first you'll be handed your backside on a platter by the local friendly neighborhood super mutant.

The only thing I real liked at all about Demon's Souls was the boss fights, they were more epic then most games but I've played a game before with even better boss fights, Phantasy Star Online... fact is boss fights in games these days are a joke and even the best boss fights often don't match up to those of 10 years ago .

don't play on adept.

Meh. Nothing I've seen about Demons/Dark Souls has inspired or intrigued me. Not fond of the "ultra hard, death death death!" style of gaming in any genre, and I don't think it looks very good (the whole dim / gritty / grey thing).


I've got too much stuff lined up for when I "finish" with my first Skyrim character. Just picked up White Knight Chronicles 1+2, I'm pondering getting the plot-important ME2 DLC and doing a full run before 3 comes out, I need to spend some time with the "full" release of Minecraft.... and all of this before the end of January, when Final Fantasy XIII-2 comes out. :ahhh:

(and if that wasn't enough, I'm falling behind painting figures for my Malifaux warbands.)

lol.

i kinda expect the mq has battle like that, but nope!!

Ya I went back to Dark Souls too, freaking amazing game. My level 110 Pyromancer is still rocking in New Game+. Skyrim just bores me to tears now.

I miiiight get Dark Souls..

But I'd probably just get my ass kicked 24/7.

Eh it's really not as hard as people have made it out to be. Just take your time and don't expect to be able to button-mash. Nearly every enemy fights differently with different weapons. So you must also adapt to that and change your strategy to suit it. The real challenge comes from exploring a new area cause you never know whats around the corner or where traps might be, it's very exciting. Every death is a learning experience that makes you better.

Back to Bf3 after skyrim ..Back to Karkan on the 13th

far more exploration and immersion in skyrim. far superior role playing game.

dark souls is just punishing for punishings sake. its not really hard, its just unforgiving.

i always think games like that are am excuse so that the devs dont have to spend time balancing etc. "you died in 1-hit from a 1cm ant? learn to play!"

I can name a couple other, future PS3 JRPGs coming up that are a must-buy, if you're interested.

I wish it was on PC so I can play it. Guess I'll have to dust off the ole' 360...

Wait, Dark Souls isn't on the PC?

...[censored].

SO Awesome! And yes, Dark Souls is better than Skyrim in every possible way. Bethesda should take notes on what intuitive combat feels like.

Then again, Skyrim was rushed out to meet some catchy deadline of 11-11-11. Now, I have backward flying dragons that don't land and lots of game freezes!

:rolleyes: Why can't the two just live in harmony, obviously they have their own personal quirks that make them great in their respective fans eyes but jeez, what on earth possess people to have to be to go out of their way to put a game down over another one?
