It is confirmed that Demon's Souls and Dark Souls series is the best RPG series. If they continue this series it will only prove more strongly it is the best RPG series even further. Gritty grind it out rewarding gameplay with such great bosses and level design is the best bar none.

Great games. That being said, Skyrim is my favourite game of the year, so far.

I think that it is kind of funny how you mention this being the best yet say nothing of a story. Matter of fact, I don't recall ever reading anyone ever say anything about the games story. Does it even have a story?

I'm going to assume that you're being sarcastic and making fun of their fans.

It does, but it just isn't the focus of these games. If you game by being driven by the story rather than gameplay you will not find it satisfying.

Demons' Souls was extremely dissappointing after all the hype I heard about it. I got it later on, the christmas after it got GotY here, and I grew bored suprisingly quickly. It wasn't the difficulty either. That was one of the things that kept me playing for longer. But other than that and the unique online design, the game was just boring.

EDIT: ^^^ That's probably it (Post above). I enjoy stories in games. They're a huge part of it for me. Demons' Souls had nothing to make me motivated to go onward other than some difficulty.

The game is more about ambiance and atmosphere than anything concrete. It is very ambiguous. It is almost better this way because it allows character and level design to describe what the world is like, instead of someone telling you.

The two Souls games are definitely in my short list of best things to come out of this gen. But calling them rpgs is missleading. I like to call the dungeon crawlers myself

great games and some of the biggest surprises this gen, but best series ever? nah. RPG is too broad a term to have one definitive best one. for example, what if i'm into turn based JRPGs, like golden sun? or shooter RPGs like deus ex? or if i just plain don't like the fantasy setting, or the punishing difficulty?

yep, same here. you ARE given a story, but it's more of a "how this world came to be as it is", and after that, it's a very subtle styIe of storytelling, not too different from shadow of the colossus (which is, IMO, the greatest game of all time) on that matter.

Best post ever. The mystery and atmosphere that surrounds the Souls games is one of the reasons why I love them so much. They just wouldn't be the same if they had a traditional story, hence why I completely disagree with the ridiculous "but dares no story" complaints. They don't need one.

first, TC is wrong for making such a bold, baseless claim, regardless of how good the games are. second, it doesn't change the fact that you're stripping the game of its core to call it bad. it's like saying "take out the platforming and mario sucks".

Except unlike some Mario games, Difficulty is the ONLY Highlight of the series therefore making the game useless in almost every single way without difficulty so I had to point out how BS the statement is.

Twin-Blade

There is 3 maybe 4 souls fanboys here, just looking at this thread above your post you'll see several more that are here to **** on these games.

The only thing that's prevalent on Gamespot is this chauvinistic and self-victimizing mentality of "us glorious truth" vs "them stupid idiots who dare to think differently".

Only played Dark Souls. To me it's a good but not great game. Fairly simple game design that seems deep becaus of your low health imo. Everythin in this game is intended to male you feel depressed and it succeed...

1- oh yeah, because if you take out the platforming out of mario there is so much left to enjoy. 2- you don't sound like you've played those games, at least not for very long. i should probably have stopped caring about your posts, but it's amusing and entertaining to see what hilarious nonsense you'll pull out next, so please, do go on.

Considering if you can afford "super expensive" PC gaming, buying a console would be simple and relatively cheap and could thus easily play those two games...

Exactly. Tons of reasons not to play Dark Souls and Demon Souls. Heck even the so called "positives" like its uber difficulty will put people off. Personally, I dont have the patience to play such a game after being stressed at university. Why would I want to come home to even more stress? If they bothered to implement a half decent coop system I would have conisdered the game.
