Downgraded score because of "You will die, lots." That's like giving amnesia a lower score for it being scary....

[DragonslayerProd]

People are getting pissed at the "low score." Are you fucking serious? 9.4 is a SPECTACULAR score!

Not every good game is OMG BEST GAME EVAR PERFECT 10 OUT OF 10! Calm the fuck down, people!

should i get demon souls or dark souls?

[zombieinzen]

Ordered this today. Absolutely loved Dark Souls... have to play this too. BTW Amnesia sucked.

[brattyHunter1]

Demon souls got 9.4, dark souls 9.0

@psycho6776 Nope actualy I rocked at using the counter ability. Of course having mastered the counter abilities in Onimusha series of gaming prepared me for such combat skills. Oh and if you want "patience," try getting 10 one hit Infected enemy kills in Dead Island without getting hit. Which by the way, I got the Platinum. XD

@psycho6776 Playing Dark Souls which is apparently, even harder then Demon Souls.

[psycho6776]

@MultiGG2 That isn't how you play the game, it's just the absolute optimal way of playing. If you suck so bad that you rely entirely on gear and items and not your wits, skill and patience then this game isn't for you. Otherwise, try upgrading your main weapon that you expect to use a lot and for awhile to max. I am only 6 hours in the game and I'm still using the Halberd in the castle with starter leather armor while just taking out Moonlight Butterfly in Darkroot.

@sandmanhardstyle If by "skill" you mean repeatiably killing the same monsters for hours trying to get a specific drop that never gets acquire, then I can see why at Game Stop there are so man copies in the used section. I'd say it's almost a rival of the game BRINK in that section. I guess not everyone had too much time on there hands for it.

[skysands2008]

why in demon's souls the voices are awesome but in dark souls the voices are crap CRAP CRAP. why didn't they bring better people to do the voices in dark souls?.

[HALFSQUASHED]

Here is a question for serious Demon/Dark Soul players.

How does the multiplayer in Dark Souls compare to that in Demons. I have double platinum UK/US in Demons 500+ hours played, and loved the multiplayer (Invading, being Invaded ;) PvP in general)

The problem is i bought Dark on the day of release and thought it was shite, No nexus/central area being a major gripe amoung others. Thing is i heard ages ago that the multiplayer is piss poor in Dark compared to Demons, was that accurate info.

[sandmanhardstyle]

@MultiGG2 Uh, yeah, that's the point. It's not supposed to be about the leveling. It's dependent on your skill. If you seriously want to whine about that then go somewhere else.
