Does this mean that Dragon Age is better than Demon Souls?

Dragon age scored a 9.5 while Demon Souls scored a 9.0. I havent played Dragon Age, but do you think that theeditor at gamespotis right and thatit could even be better than a game likeDemon Souls???

Gotta go pick up my copy of Dragon Age Origins on 360. Haven't gotten to yet. I can say that it has a huge hill to climb though. Demon's Souls is incredible in every aspect. One of the more challenging and unique RPG's I've played in a long time.

it scored a 9.5 on the pc..Javieralijandro

Lay your system wars body armor down for a while and answer my question.

Only real gamers with tons of patience would even like demons souls, to the rest the game would be smash your controller or just give up material Im luving demons souls, but damn it like to punish the player so much, But for some reason it keeps me coming back for more punishment.Totalgym9000

It's odd but, honestly, after killing Phalanx (the first demon), I haven't had much trouble with the game in terms of difficulty. You just learn to watch your step and be aware of your environment. Other then that, kill kill kill. :) I did have a bit of trouble with Flamelurker. I didn't die but I literally had one more hit and I was dead...

Was a close call. I agree with you though. Demon's Souls takes alot of patience for most people and a casual player approaching it is essentially unheard of. Dragon Age I don't think requires anywhere near as much patience especially in terms of difficulty.

Depends on what your definition of better is. If a game that's light on story and heavy on action is better then it'd be Demon Souls. If deep storylines and well developed characters are your preference then Dragon Age is better. I'd say for most traditional RPG fans that DA:O is definitely the top pick here.

well... maybe if you play it, you will find out for yourself!

personally, i think dragon age looked literally embarassing, but it appears i was wrong. personally i like demons souls a lot but im not buying the level of hype some people are showing for it. it is certainly one of the best games of the year, but its hardly some insurmountable game to top.

I still don't see why we are comparing these two entities. They are hardly similar.

Did not fnd myself as immersed in games like Oblivion or Fallout so I am very scared to buy Dragon Age (same feel as Oblivion). I am thus sticking with Demon's Souls for this year, but I will pick up DA eventually but not this year

I'm playing a hunter so I literally hopped around popping him in the head just trying to avoid him as much as possible. He was throwing his main attack at me (the flame surge thing...don't know what to call it) when I popped him in the head to kill him. I had one more hit then death. :?

Old Monk on the other hand is an Arch Demon. He was very dissapointing as I just demolished him.

I love Demon's Souls though. If I wasn't trying to beat 4 games on each of the 3 consoles I'd probably never play anything else.

It means the PC version of Dragon Age is better than Demon Souls

But I like both of those things! Heavy action and deep storylines and well developed characters! ARGH!!! :x

I don't know which will be better, but I really want both. I'm picking up Dragon Age this weekend and I told my parents that Demon's Souls is a top priority for Christmas (having them get it for me since I'd have to order it; its nowhere in the area where I live).

They both got 9.0 on PS3. 9.5 is for teh pc version.

To me the hardest bosses were maneater(think thats his name),flamelurker and the king. Every other boss is challenging,but these felt the hardest. Im a magician by the way.

The only difference between classes are starting stats and equipment, and not by much.

You can cheese a lot of fights using ranged attacks, I'm a knight and I rarely have any trouble with anything with my trusty sticky long compound bow +5 by my side. Exception being False King.

I guess. Me personally, wants a game gets AAA, they are all the same (including AAAA). I mean really, what the difference between a 9.0 and a 9.5.

DA:O actually got three scores: 8.5, 9.0, 9.5

Average = 9.0

I guess so...*shrugged*

I'm getting both games anyways :D

Really? With all the information out there you think it feels similar to Oblivion? REALLY!?

gamerlifegrace

Can't really compare than imo. One is action rpg and the other is a wrpg like mass effect, kotor, etc with lots of dialogue and strong story.

Of course. RPG of this gen. Hermits win.

BioShockOwnz

what the hell, you haven't even played it. how can one score from one reviewers opinion decide for you the best rpg this gen? with that mindset gta4 was everyone's Greatest of All time the day ign gave it a perfect 10(that game is far froma 10 more like a 7.5). LMFAO

Haven't looked too much into DA, but from what I have see I haven't been too interested in it-- though I would like to buy it, I just fear I may not be as into it as a good RPG should. I meant its like Oblivion in the sense of the setting... I'm wrong about that aren't I? Well I'll do my research then XD

Both scored 9.0 on PS3 :?

They are equal in terms of score, however in terms of content, then Dragon Age wins... So far.

As a more action oriented gamer who likes a challenge, Demon's Souls interests me more. I'm interested in playing Dragon Age once I get over the feeling that its a dated at launch pc game with average graphics and some generic fantasy aspects. I know DA is deeper than that and a good game but for me, I want Demon's Souls more as the combat looks more satisfying.

IGN (main) scores are in. 8.7 PS360, 9.0 PC.

Demon's Souls 9.48)

The old monk is aight but its really awesome when you actually fight another player. I love playing spoiler for someone in that scenario I wish I could just choose an option to do that, its so much fun when you kill someone like that.

In general the PvP is pretty fun as long as its one v. one. If the other guy has two friends its just damn impossible.

OT: We'll have to wait for the year end awards to decide it but these are the two front runners for RPGOTY for sure and will probably be nominated for GOTY as well.

Just because Dragon Age scored higher doesn't mean that its the better game. Plenty of games that have scored lower have won the actual award than a higher rated game in the same genre.

Old Monk summon other players to fight you so his defficulty depend on the player against you and your luck Old monk can become the nastiest boss in Demon's souls once he summoned a player that killed me with 2 blue phantoms I still cant believe it it was me + 2 people helping me and yet he defeated all of us it was a nightmare.

To be honest, i think If demon Souls was released on PC it would score a 9.5. But you really cant compare them, there sorta similar, but at the same time, there battle systems are Much different.

Ouch that sucks. The player that was summoned against me hardly put up a fight. I'm not sure with is worse :|
