When Skrim still has the same ******* combat

Dark souls will destroy it

wootasifwoot

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.

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......

:lol: like Oblivion to Demon's Souls right?

I can't wait to see the reaction this game will get from 360 players. Now, the only thing left is for From Soft. to show the PC some love ...verbalfilth

Well Oblivion wasnt too big for me since I uninstalled it (I was a hermit back then) after about 8 hours of gameplay bored to death with uninspired combat system and silly level scaling. Demons Souls, on the other hand, had brilliant combat system, innovative online implementation, great atmosphere and levelling your character actually made sense - thats why I put about 90 hours of gameplay into it.

Dark Souls vs Skyrim? Not even close for me unless Bethesda does something great with Skyrim. The last TES game I enjoyed was Daggerfall.

So...what we have here is a severe outbreak of Grossly Exaggerated Numbers in the industry?

The guy at IGN died 600 times to beat the first boss...while it isn't exactly bigger, you're likely to put more hours in it...although 300 hours is a lot!!

I'm having a good laugh looking through this thread. :lol:

Firstly at all the people talking about Skyrim being a mainstream piece of ****. Back when Morrowind was out Elder Scrolls was anything but mainstream and was very much a niche game. Now that the company starts doing well and more people are interested in their games all of a sudden people will bash it simply for being popular.

Also have to laugh at the people mocking Drak Souls because "Buh buh buh Skyrim will have 300 hours of gameplay teh roXX0rzzz!" Right... because a game needs to be a lifetime long to be the better game... Also measuring games by previous GOTY awards... madness.

Anyway, Demon's Souls, Oblivion and Morrowind are my top 3 favourite RPGs of all time. I'm getting both Skyrim AND Dark Souls and have booked a week off work for them both so I can get some proper enjoyment from them. People doing the same will be the real winners, not the games themselves.

From Software is a small company, with small budget, who worked on their game for shorter period than Bethseda did on Skyrim. So of course Dark Soul won't have anywhere near the content of Skyrim.

Plus you will spend time on Skyrim adventuring, not dying over and over again like in DS. Altough I still think DS will be better game overall (propably worse RPG though)

300 hours of gameplay. :o

dont care which is biggr as im gettin both

Size =/= better game. Still, Dark Souls sounds very good from what I've heard of it.

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.

LORD_BLACKGULT

Just because devs spend 5 years or more on making a game doesn't mean it'll be amazing,etc. Duke nukem foreverausti722

Seriously though.... it's pretty obvious the article is pure nonsense, you can argue which game will be better, but believing DS will have content than Skyrim is just plain naive.

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] It will sell more, I doubt it will score better.mems_1224

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.

And I was wondering when the first Skyrim vs DS threads would pop up...it was simply inevitable. Anyway, Skyrim on PC has pretty much more game time than you can play in a lifetime, thanks to mods, so enjoy your inferior console games.

Dont' care which one is bigger. They are both distinctly different role playing games and I am going to enjoy both for what each brings to the table. However, for the sake of the conversation, I will say that I think Skyrim will have the bigger world, but Dark Souls will have more variety in terms of environments and enemies. At the end of the day, they are both very large, yet very different sorts of games. Getting both this Fall is going to be pure bliss for me.

Two Awesome Big Games.

Nuff Said.

I prefer Dark Souls to Skyrim, not a big fan of the Skyrim medieval settings, Dark souls did it much better. Skyrim is basically trying to be the COD of RPG's.CODMan2014

Demons Souls gets far too much credit, its like console gamers are so dumbed down they are not use to dying alot in RPGs.... :lol: ... all this "Zomg its hard" hype is hilarious as sin. buying it day 1 ... but demon souls was a 8.0 to me .... a nice new experiance that needed alot of work.... and cheapness for the sake of cheapness is crap. "Oh the bosses were so hard" ... no ... like 2 of them were, the rest were a herb spamming joke.... infact the first hour of the learning curve was about the only true hard bit.

Its going to be a worse ROLE-PLAYING game than Skyrim, a worse exploring/adventure game than Skyrim.

And its going to fail in the meta-game-replayability of Diablo III.

"Buh buh teh hard." right?

Skyrim is the only game I even care about. Why? Because Skyrim is my type of game, while Dark Souls isn't. As such, I don't really care if the latter will have 10 or 400 hours of gameplay, because I'll get Skyrim anyway, and I'll enjoy the hell out of it.

How about a PC or Wii U version so I can play it?

I don't believe this for a second. The hype machine is running hard for this fellow.

Holy ****, if true i may even skip BF3 beta and just play DS hardcore until BF3 comes out.silversix_

Aside from the hours it takes to beat Dark Souls, it also has online pvp. In Demon's souls it was a lot of fun. I logged a lot of hours just building different pvp characters and playing online.

The replay value of Dark Souls (if it is like Demon's souls) far exceeds any bethesda game imo.

And that means what? Dark Souls is a better game? I doubt its bigger than Just Cause 2.foxhound_fox

Out of all my years being on here, this is by far the most bird brained comment Ive ever seen. Congrats!

Ikaruga is short but might take people longer to beat than most shmups due to extreme difficulty.

Dark Souls will not be bigger than Skyrim. If the dude put in 60 hrs. and is only 1/4 through the game a majority of that is most likely replaying areas over and over due to repeatedly dying.

And Just Cause is bigger than Dark Souls.

I'm not even sure if Dark Souls is bigger than Demon's Souls. Dark Souls just feels bigger because it's in one big world and all the zones are interconnected.

I am at 101 hours in XenoBlade and still not finished. Skyrim has high standards to meet now.

There's no way this is true...I beat Dark Souls in 38 hours, most of it was repeat and exploring.S1-Winged_Angel

LMFAO....LOL-LOL-LOL-LOL-LOL- Are you friggin' serious....?

Pretend i have a Megaphone....Ok, Now Listen

" ATTENTION DARK SOULS FANS, YOUR SORRY EXCUSE FOR A GAME WILL NOT COMPARE IN ANYWAY, SHAPE OR FORM TO THE PERFECTION OF SKYRIM, IN LESS THAN 36 HOURS YOU WILL ALL BOW BEFORE THE WORLD OF ELDER SCROLLS 5 SKYRIM, AND YOUR SORRY EXCUSE FOR A GAME WILL BE FORGOTTEN IN THE SHADOW OF SKYRIM'S GREATNESS...............SO STOP THESE RIDICULOUS THREADS...YOU WILL LOSE, IN BOTH REVIEWS AND THE SHEER AWESOMENESS OF SKYRIM ".

Now just accept it and move on with your lives.
