Weird choices. I don't know which I'd pick. I enjoyed them both.

Dark Souls is a great game in its own right, butthe Galaxy games are untoppable.

I dunno how you are ever suppose to perfect SMG2. So that though these games are not comparable at all.

Dark Souls is the thing furthest from perfect. There are no aspect of it that can be described as perfect and most aspects can be described as garbage.

Dark Souls isn't near perfect. Just tell that to the slow slideshow you get when entering Blightown.

Has nothing to do with this thread? Even so I could only find three major flaws with Demon's IMO: The lock on, framerate and the craappy music. All were considerably worse in Dark except for music maybe. On the other hand Dark is just a major flaw in itself.

Yup.

And while the Souls games are absolutely great, they aren't the kind of games I'd put in the near perfect category.

SMG2 is not my favorite game of all time. Not even close. But its probably the most well designed game I've ever played.

Neither are perfect but Dark Souls is the better gam (imo). I felt that the linear design of the Galaxy games really crippled their potential gameplay.

Neither are perfect but Dark Souls is the better game. SAGE_OF_FIRE

No game is perfect, but the SMG games are about as close as you get. I don't see you can say Dark Souls is the better game though. SMG2 is the pinnacle of 3d platforming. Dark and Demon Souls are both among the greatest ARPGs around. Both excel in their respective territories, but I find it impossible to objectively say one is better than the other.

Edit: Just saw your edit. :P

Comparing two largely different games from two completely different genres targeting two completely different demographics... you're doing it wrong.

Neither games are Perfect.
And there are fun games out there too...
Little Big Planet, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike, heck even co-op/multiplayer online games can be a thrill

OK...first Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty and now...this?

I mean, I guess AC and CoD make some better sense (though any) since their both yearly releases....but Dark Souls and Super Mario Galaxy 2? :?

Just....how?

Well,it's common knowledge that losing exclusivity and adding 360 to the mix stopped Dark Souls from achieving its full potential.

It's not exclusive anymore,so it sucks by default :lol:

Xbox lost Mass Effect yet cows don't deny the fact that it is absolutely garbage. So you see cows and everyone else who says Dark Souls is garbage don't do it because of the number of platforms it is on but because it's an absolute garbage game :)

Galaxy, I find it to possibly the best console game of the gen, and that is saying a lot because there have been some awesome games.

I also find Dark Souls to be overrated. Just my opinion though. Wasn't big on the combat in the game, felt kinda weird to me. Again, just my opinion and I may need to give it another chance.

Haven't played Dark Souls, but I don't think it's better than Demon's Souls... and as I found Demon's Souls to be really average, I'd go with Galaxy.

That's a though choice, i mean of course no game is perfect, however this 2 games are indeed amazing, besides they are way too different to compare them.

Anyway, for me SMG was the better game of the SMG games, because the concept was fresh and it really left an impact on me, and while SMG2 has some of the best levels ever designed on a video game i still prefer the first one.

As for Dark Souls, the game is definitely one of the best RPGs this gen, the atmosphere, the boss battles, the music, the combat, they are all pretty amazing, however it has some serious flaws, like the framerate (hell, Blightown its a flaw on its own despite the great boss battle) and it gets kind of cheap on certain areas, still the experience with the game was great.

For me, the better game on a technically and even artistically point of view, is SMG2 since the level design is just out of this world, however i think i enjoyed Dark Souls a little bit more because of the overall setting.

The online in Dark Souls has been completely dead for a while, in Demon's Souls you could actually find people to play with. Demon's Souls is better in every possible way.

They're completely different games. :|

I've never played Dark Souls, so I can't say between the two. Galaxy was pretty awesome, though.
