Dark Souls is bigger than Skyrim

"The leader of the pack has clocked about 60 hours within the game - and judging by the information given to him by his US counterpart, he's only about a quarter of the way through the damn thing. Forget about randomly generated dungeons and sprawling scenic hills: from what I've seen so far, Dark Souls is going to be bigger than Skyrim. It might not be as infinitely playable, but in terms of the quantity of unique content to explore I can't see anything else that's coming out this year squaring up against something as big as this."

I STRONGLY doubt this, I will believe it when I see it

60 hours and he's 1/4 of the way through, and 60x4=240 hours.

Skyrim is said to have 300+ hours of gameplay.

So......

Oh gawd, such an epic coment. lol, and this is OXM, after playing this they aretalking down on skyrim like a bastard step-child. Just like Ithought.

"If you've got the stomach to handle a game like Dark Souls, then this will be the only RPG you need to buy this Christmas. Forget about running around the hills collecting flowers to make potions - it's time to start preparing for a road trip straight to hell."

It's great that Dark Souls has that much content packed. But I doubt it'll match Skyrim.

Metacritic score + GOTY awards says

Dark Souls > Skyrim, believe it.

if not who cares DS scored a 9.0 here on GS and still managed to be better than every 9.5 + rated game before it.

Very rarely do the games of highest quality sell the best. Still, I will admit I'm extremely hyped for both.

How do you measure that?

Because if it´s about scores the Oblivion scored much better overall than DS. If it´s about sales,then it also sold way better than DS. If it´s about GOTY awards,then it also got more GOTY awards than DS.

So how is it not?

If Dark Souls ends up being anywhere near as good as DS, I'm sure it will be even more infinitely playable than Skyrim :D

And so was Demon's Souls, so it's not hard to believe that Dark Souls will also.

somehow i think this is more due to the player's inability to stay alive than the game's amount of content.BrunoBRS

It should be a crime to compare dark souls to a mainstream piece of trash like skyrim. Dark souls will be the real goty and skyrim will be the cowadooty of rpgs.

You can't take that article seriously. :|

The most Skyrim has been played by any journalist is ONE HOUR. Dark Souls has been played for 60ish hours. Then he states some garbage about Skyrim like how it will have "randomly generated dungeons" and be "recycling" content. :roll:

He evidently didn't get the Bethesda memo that talked about HAND CRAFTED dungeons and caves (All 100+ of them),100%HAND CRAFTED environments, and RADIANT STORY (Tailors quests to your character, and aims at unique experiences for MULTIPLE play-throughs).

He also "conveniently" ignores how Skyrim has been worked on since Oblivion came out. (mostly conceptual stuff until Fallout 3 was released, I believe) That is 5 years, 3 if you want to ignore the conceptual stage. He also ignores how a team spent AT LEAST one year on building dragons alone, including an ENTIRE draconic language.

But I digress... I will buy, play, and enjoy both games.

Poor guy must have died a lot, I doubt dark souls is longer than skyrim. A lot of people won't like Dark Souls because it's harder than even demon souls which people complained that it was difficult. Either way I loved Demon Souls I'm pre-ordering dark souls and I know i wont regret it. Skyrim will probably sell more though since it has a long time fan base in the first place.

Probably not gonna buy either of the game. But sounds like hes just been grinding for 60h.

^ Also remember what usually happened to you in Demon Souls if you moved through an unfamiliar area quickly? The dev actually promised for the game to be harder which probably means more traps and enemies the will own your face off if you blunder into them. I crawled through Demon Souls at a snail's pace.

I went into oblivion thinking I could plow fields and ride flying cars... boy was I left disappointed. Now I know what to expect from Skyrim.

EDIT: Oh wait, I do know what to expect... repetitive quests and maps. I guess there will be ample quests like closing 100 oblivion gates (same map, each 15 mins or longer) in Skyrim.

perhaps they spent 60hrs on the same area?

casharmy

bahahhaaha you sir have just won this thread :P. And with Dark souls you cant really judge when he says he has more than 60 hours, you bring up a good point, there is alot of repeate cuz lets face it, everyone will die alot.

is it bad i laughed really hard at the title?

Yeah I doubt this aswell.

I will be playing both. I win.
