Skyrim vs. Dark souls : V

» Tue Sep 27, 2011 11:21 am

Just wondering what you thought of Dark Souls and how the franchise compares to Elder scrolls. I have not heard of Darks Souls before. What are your thoughts?

Looking forward to both. Both are very different games offering very different experiences.

Oh hey, this thread again.

Demon's Souls was awesome.

Both games will likely be great.

They are incredibly apples to oranges.

I will likely play Skyrim over 9000 more hours than Dark Souls.

Don't know much about Dark Souls either but I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Doesn't even come close to touching TES series. It's a shame DS has to piggyback off of TES/Skyrim/Bethesda's names.

I'm sure dark souls forum has info on thier game, theres also always Google, Metacritic, Game Trailers.com and Yahoo Answers. I doubt the skyrim forum is the right place for this question.

Skyrim has a PC version so that is the only one I care about

Getting really tired of seeing this thread. One is a linear, the other is open ended. The gameplay is completely different and they are only similar in type of game, RPG. You can't really compare them. I'll play them both.

I think Skyrim and Dark Souls are going to be great games, each in their own way.
I would probably try out Dark Souls if it had a pc version.

I promised myself that I would hit my the computer everytime I see this thread.

Here goes....

Dark Souls isn't a sandbox, so it's not on my radar.

Completely different games. Demon/Dark souls focuses solely on creating a challenge for the player. Dialogue, exploration, story, and lore mean nothing in that universe. Depends on what you like. Skyrim will almost certainly be an easier game, but that's not why we play it. Demon's Souls was an amazing game, but it feels empty compared to TES. Oblivion, Morrowind, and Daggerfall were also amazing games, but the last two games never approached Demon's Souls challenge. Never played Arena, so not going to throw that in there.

Really wish I wasn't paying for classes right now, or I'd be getting dark souls for the 360. Looks amazing. I'll end up getting it for sure. Skyrim though.. well TES has always been my go to gaming experience. I'm a devoted fan for sure. However.. I will concede dark souls looks amazing. Definitely getting it

"And without further adieu... the Fanyboy award for Bethesda reputation most Vehemently protected is....."
Seriosly everyone rips off everyone these days, I'm pretty damn sure TES isnt an orginal concept either

Its like comparing apples to a tractor. No comparison, but both will be great games in their own respect.

Wait, how is Dark Souls piggybacking off Bethesda again? I can understand IGN mining for hits, but don't blame From Software for some journalist's opinion piece.

Dark Souls will very likely by amazing, and I've had it preordered for months. It's open world, but more in the gated, metroidvania style than a seamless open world like TES.

Am I anticipating Skyrim more? Of course, but then I always anticipate a new TES game more than anything else. The sheer potential of the series is something that no other developer even strives for, and even if the actual games don't 100% live up to that potential, they still offer experiences that are of a fairly unmatched scope.

There hasn't been such thing as a fully original "hero's journey" like story for a very long time.

I've heard from multiple sources that Dark Souls is open world this time around.. granted when I've been watching clips and see mountains in the background I didn't believe that I could actually go to them. It will be interesting to see how open Dark Souls actually is though.

I'm looking forward to "Scrolls"

I'll just get me coat :bolt:

No pc version so can't really say one or another.
