Skyrim or Dark Souls : If you had to choose one ...

Which one would you buy, if you had to choose one?

I really can't decide. I guess I'd have to give the edge to Dark Souls, but passing Skyrim over would be agonizing.

I'd choose neither, and use that cash to buy Catherine. :P

Dark Souls and is not even a contest for me.

The easiest way to answer this, If you had access to *fully* play both games, and ask which was a better experience for you Demon's Souls or Oblvion?

Esay anwser for me since Demon's Souls was better than Oblivion by a factor of 1000x infinity to 1.

as a matter of fact, even without me playing DS, Oblivion was just a horrible game compaired to what came out last gen in Elder Scrolls Morrwoind 3.

So Dark Souls it is.

Dark Souls is my most anticipated game of the year, I would only get Skyrim if I wanted to have a game to waiste a bunch of time on just because Im bored.

Skyrim for me.

Skyrim.

Dark Soulds isnt gonna have mods.

Dark Souls, but only by a little bit.

Skyrim.

Dark Soulds isnt gonna have mods.

:twisted: because it will actually be a complete and playable game when it releases

Both of them are my most hyped game of the year, but if I had to choose I'd go with Skyrim.

Skyrim.

That's because mods are scared to death of Dark Souls.

Skyrim > Japanese WRPG wannabe. In reality I want both, but I will actually be choosing between them this holiday is too much! Will get it when it's cheaper.SaltyMeatballs

From Software is the ONLY "Western RPG" company in all of Japan.

You have to give them props for doing something bold and risky.

No, Dark Soulds isn't going to have mods because its on an inferior platform incapable of supporting mods.

Skyrim will be a better game eventually, but Dark Souls will probably be the better game by the time the year is over.

I would have to give the edge to Dark Soul.

That's an easy choice. Skyrim. I don't have a PS3. Of course, even if I did I would still pick Skyrim.

Dark Souls!

not only is is false but it also shows how little you actually know about those "inferior platform"s as you describe them.

Skyrim because I would get a lot more playtime out of it.

i dont have a ps3

Skyrim. I loved Oblivion. Never played Demon's Souls, and I have no intention of playing Dark Souls.

Do you want to stick by that comment?

Sorry, the tiny handful of PS3-UT3 compatible mods does not constitute as mod support by any stretch of the imagination beyond technicalities. Just because the PC has 2 or 3 modern fighting games does not make me so naive as to call the PC a fighting gamer's platform.

Skyrim for several reasons.

1. I personally found both Oblivion and FO3 way more fun than Demon Souls, like alot more fun. They also scored alot higher at GR/MC.

2. Skyrim will last alot longer in 1 play through alone, but Skyrim will also offer more re-playability with its radiant story, better RPG and roleplaying mechanics, and open world gameplay.

3. Mods. There will probably be mods that tweak old gameplay mechanics to perfection, allow graphics to look way better than Dark Souls, and offer completely new gameplay experiences which result in a never ending world.

Skyrim on PC.

Week 1: [PS3]Demon's Souls(SCE)39,689/NEW

Week 2: [PS3]Demon's Souls (SCE) 22,000/62,000

Week 3: [PS3]Demon's Souls(SCE)15,000/78,000

---

It's sold ~135,000 copies in Japan, and ~500,000 copies in America.

Considering Demon's Souls had a low budget and was a new IP, the game did very well.

Dark Souls, then I'll pick Skyrim up later after mods make it playable.

Skyrim

Dark Souls no question about it.

The first one was so amazing, no matter how many hours skyrim promises do deliver the gameplay experience DS gave was just too awsome.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Or the whole, "It's a console game" thing. :PDa_lil_PimP

Yeah...those who can't play Dark Souls.

Skyrim,without a doubt.

Skyrim would be the only choice for me, even as much as I would like to see Dark Soul's I wouldn't think twice about it.

Dark Souls, hands down. I'm glad I can get both though. :P
