Demon's Souls > Dark Souls

I'm finding it a bit difficult to properly play Demon's Souls because of how subtly different the combat is from Dark Souls.

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.

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.

[Shaka Khan]

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.

Which one is easier?

[fistfulofmetal]

I prefer the free-roaming labyrinth style gameworld of Dark Souls over the level-based structure of Demon's Souls

[Cerveza mas fina]

I wish they would put in difficulty settings in this.

[demi]

I wish they wouldn't

[Cerveza mas fina]

But it wouldnt affect you cause you would play on hard anyway

[demi]

But by making the primary target a harder difficulty, there is no concern for them nerfing the game to cater to more lesser difficulties.

[cool breeze]

you can make the game easier through online/co-op.  phantom bros can help you through the game.

[iconoclast]

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

[Smooth Groove]

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!

It's not like the Souls games are that hard.  They just require patience and not rushing in head first like a dummy.

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?"

Magus is sooooooooooooo casual. Considering all these obscure games you would consider him "hardc0re" but its just a ruse. Casual as fuuuuuark

[Cerveza mas fina]

I don't mind hard games like Super Meatboy where you don't lose so much progress when you die.

[hampster]

I never played either but I am hopeless addicted to Jeff Green's Dark Souls streams. His fight with the Capra Demon last night

[fistfulofmetal]

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.

[thisismyusername]

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.

[nudemacusers]

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.
