Dark Souls 2 vs The Witcher 3, which do you anticipate more?

Dark Souls 2 is my most anticipated game, but The Witcher 2 is defnitely number 2. It's a shame I have to wait until next year to play them.

Just means next year will be the greatest year in gaming :P

Dark Souls 2

Witcher 2 had too many flaws and bad mechanisms for me to enjoy

Witcher 3, though I can't wait for Dark Souls 2 as well!

Also, haven't even played the first DS, it's just sitting on my Steam for now, but think I'll play it next month, too busy right now for a lengthy and challenging RPG.

I can't, I barely have the time to game as of now, and even less for posting here.

Working some long hours these days, and it can get very tiresome, not the proper mood for a long game requiring plenty of patience, but thing should calm down a bit in a week or two, then I'll get to it.

Right now, I'm eliminating shorter games from my backlog, like Crysis 3.

Dark Souls 2 by a landslide. I beat Dark Souls in about 2 weeks and immediately started a second playthrough (not NG+.) I hated The Witcher and haven't played Witcher 2.

My pick is Witcher 3. I really wanted to like Dark Souls but horrible PC version made it unplayable.ciabass

It's a terrible port, but far from unplayable.

The Witcher 3 looks AWESOME and its open world looks EPIC! :shock:

The Witcher series is very overrated with linear gameplay. Elder Scrolls series has superior and deeper gameplay. But The Witcher 3 looks like it will be the first actual good game in the series, finally going open world and hopefully add more depth to the gameplay.

you can't be talking about skyrim..there's no way you're talking about skyrim.

im talking about the series as a whole. i know skyrim wasn't the series strong point.

and the point im trying to make is that the first two witcher games are overrated, but I understand the hype for the The Witcher 3 because it looks like they're finally moving in the right direction.

less linear, much improved magic system, Huge open world to explore (ive never seen anyone complain about that so i dont know what you're talking about) and the whole atmosphere of the game just looks a lot better than the previous two.

i said worried not complain..and you wouldn't see that if you hang around on this board. When it was announced that  CDPR were taking cues from skyrim it made alot of fans concerned because it's their first time attemping an open world and skyrim wasn't the best example to use since your actions don't mean jack in the elder scroll series.

Dark Souls 2!!

Love the Souls games but the witcher 2 was the best RPG ever made ever. TW3 will be another masterpiece.

Definitely. We have had a dorught of quality RPGs since 2011 when TW2, Dark Souls, Deus Ex, and Skyrim came out (inb4 lolz@Skyrim being a quality RPG)

Dark Souls 2, not even close for me.

Played Demon's Souls and it sucked. Never bothered with Dark Souls and won't be bothering with Dark Souls 2 either.AmazonTreeBoa

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, especially now that I'm reading the books.

Never played the Witcher so Dark Souls 2 by default.

Dark Souls 2.

Witcher 3 by far. It will be the better game.GuNsbl4ziN

I'm equally hyped for both, even though I liked The Witcher 2 more than DS1. I only have a DS2 sig cause its coming out sooner!

Says I.

As someone who has put in more than a 1000 hours in Dark Souls and multiple playrhoughs in the witcher series, I can clearly say that I am much more interested in The Witcher 3. The souls series combat destroys the combat in Witcher and Witcher 2. It probably has the best swordplay system made but the Witcher 3 is also gonna be heavily improved so it's too early to say that DS2 combat will be better. We still need to see how the dynamic camera works in Witcher 3. The great thing about the Witcher series was how important your choices was and the effects they have. The story is amazing and the game also has great visuals to boot on (on PC at least) Dark Souls had inferior visuals but a better artstyle and atmosphere. The reason why I'm so excited for Witcher 3 is because of how ambitious the game is. I've never seen an open world rpg as ambitious as this. Also, many jounralists if not most who saw the closed doors demo said that the Witcher 3 made E3. I can see Witcher 3 get in the 90's on metacritic. I can't wait for DS2 also but Witcher 3 seems like it's gonna be a better game, that is if the promises that Cd Projekt makes carries weight.

Witcher3, it is doing more things.

ALso, both best on pc factually.

Will get both but Dark Souls will be same stuff like the other games while Witcher 3 will be changed from the other games into a sandbox game. That makes Witcher 3 slighty more intresting to see how they succeed, Dark souls 2 i already know what i get.

The obvious answer is Dark Souls II.

Both!!!!!!!!!

The Witcher 3.

I have yet to finish Dark Sould Prepare to Die edition on PC, but it's a really good game, no doubts on 2!

The other game is another i play, that will also be as good.

Witcher 3 but both will be incredible.

Not really hyped about either, tbh. I've played Dark Souls and its excellent, but I'm not done with it. And while I own both Witcher games, I haven't completed either.

So I think I'll try to finish those before I get hype.

Console developers are superior. Dark Souls 2 easily.

Dark Souls puts Witcher combat to shame. Yeah, Witcher is pretty and has a better story. But Dark Souls is a blast.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Dark Souls 2. But I want both games very badly.

And I absolutely disagree with anyone who says the Nexus feature of Demon Souls was a good feature. It felt like a Mario game (world 1-1, 1-2, yuck). I absolutely loved the open concept of Dark Souls. I think everything they scrapped from Demon Souls should remain gone. I'm not too pleased that maximum health punishment is back. Really glad there is no Magic meter or herb heals.

But I want both Dark Souls 2 and The Witcher 3. Love both.

Dark Souls look like more copy/pasta.

Hated Dark Souls, but I LOVED The WItcher 2. So The Witcher 3.

The witcher 3 by a long shot.The one negative point of W2 over W1 was the worlds size ( witcher 2 was more restricted). Now that they are making it open world = win win

I wanted to like DS since the combat was absolutely great but the terrible port job they did on pc mehh.

Also cyberpunk is right up there with the W3 if not more hyped for me

The Witcher 3.

'nuff said. I like the Soul's series but it don't hold a candle.
