Post by: Great Rumbler on December 09, 2013, 09:38:05 AM: I'm finding it a bit difficult to properly play Demon's Souls because of how subtly different the combat is from Dark Souls.

Post by: thisismyusername on December 09, 2013, 10:22:14 AM: Borys, I'd argue against that. But that's because I like the broken magic system in DeS over the charge system in DaS.

Well, that and I hate that people can eat attacks in PvP with high-poise and smack my ass while I recover. :lol

Post by: El Babua on December 09, 2013, 02:24:03 PM: Demon's Souls is more consistent than Dark Souls definitely. Hoping Dark Souls II cuts down on the cheaper and badly designed levels that were scattered throughout the first.

Post by: Shaka Khan on December 09, 2013, 03:00:29 PM: This is one of those arguments where I ain't mad however the coin is flipped. I loved both games almost equally for slightly different reasons.

Title: Re: Demon's Souls > Dark Souls
Post by: fistfulofmetal on December 09, 2013, 05:40:43 PM: I prefer the free-roaming labyrinth style gameworld of Dark Souls over the level-based structure of Demon's Souls

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on December 09, 2013, 05:54:14 PM: I wish they would put in difficulty settings in this.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on December 09, 2013, 06:02:14 PM: But it wouldnt affect you cause you would play on hard anyway
Title: Re: Demon's Souls > Dark Souls
Post by: demi on December 09, 2013, 06:05:29 PM: But by making the primary target a harder difficulty, there is no concern for them nerfing the game to cater to more lesser difficulties.

Post by: cool breeze on December 09, 2013, 06:09:05 PM: you can make the game easier through online/co-op. phantom bros can help you through the game.

Post by: iconoclast on December 09, 2013, 06:17:21 PM: I think vanilla Dark Souls and Demon's Souls are pretty even, but Dark Souls wins if you add the content from PTDE. Manus, Artorias, and Kalameet > most of the bosses in both games
Title: Re: Demon's Souls > Dark Souls
Post by: Smooth Groove on December 10, 2013, 12:42:56 AM: Didn't like Demon's Souls that much because much of the design was tedious and strategies depended far too often on patience. There's something wrong with a game that requires you to ask people where to stand exactly so you can shoot 200 times at an enemy.

Dark Souls seems to have less of that BS but I only played it a little.

Im not talking a rebalacing of things, just give noobs like me more health and make enemies hit a bit less hard.

just numbers bro!

honestly i've never had a problem with normal enemies,blocking their attack is easy and with the right weapon they die in 2 hits,it's the bullshit like the narrow passage in anor londo or stuff like this that infuriate me

when i heard that dark souls developer wanted to make the game more accessible i wanted to punch him in the face "really? are you the same guy who gave the okay when you decided making an enemy that instant-kill the player AND cut his health bar in half was a fair thing to do?"

Title: Re: Demon's Souls > Dark Souls
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on December 10, 2013, 09:35:38 AM: I don't mind hard games like Super Meatboy where you don't lose so much progress when you die.

Title: Re: Demon's Souls > Dark Souls
Post by: fistfulofmetal on December 10, 2013, 12:31:51 PM: I started a new character in Dark Souls just now. Tried out Sorcery for the first time. It's immediately much easier since you can one-shot everything from distance and the AI doesn't really know what to do about it.

Got stuck at the Gargoyles since I'm so used to fighting them with a sword. May go back and see what other cool spells and shit I can do.

Post by: thisismyusername on December 10, 2013, 12:37:17 PM: Going into the Tomb of Giants and getting pissed when you fall because you don't have a light spell or something to safely traverse it.

Yeah, Magus is casual as fuck.
Title: Re: Demon's Souls > Dark Souls
Post by: nudemacusers on December 10, 2013, 12:39:18 PM: I've never played dark souls but I agree 100%

because the first was a sony exclusive :-*

but it sounds like they made dark souls invasions a little less douchey, which is no fun at all.
