I've been reading on both and being a big RPG fan, I wanted to get one of the two. I'll admit, I played oblivion and hated it. After 1 hour, I couldn't take it, it bored the crap out of me. I never played demon's soul as well but from what I heard, it sounds so much more appealing and interesting than Skyrim/oblivion. Skyrim, to me, sounds like it's been done before. The setting, gameplay, the lore, all of it sounds recycled. Again, my opinion. Dark souls sounds much more intricate, unique and rewarding. So while I still don't know which to get, from what I've heard, Dark souls sounds like the better choice for newcomers, even if it is unforgiving.


the game that is the closest to skyrim is oblivion and they are both vastly diffrent then each other other then the original concept and the BASIC gameplay.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Or we could also stop arguing and start enjoying the fact that there are 2 very awesome games coming out, and you'll probably have a blast no matter which one you buy.



May the adjustments be with you


I feel a disturbance in the sales

This has been a Day 1 thing for me.I knew once Sony acquired Namco Bandai to create Demon Soul's exclusively to PS3 I knew this would be the Elder Scrolls killer. I've been saying this to myself(lol)for the past month Demon Soul's is better than Oblivion.

Sony didn't acquire Namco Bandai, Namco Bandai scouped From software after they made demon souls and namco localized it in EU.

Personally, I'm not interested in Skyrim, but there's no denying that it will be an awesome game. More importantly, the two games will be dissimilar to the point where any comparison is ridiculous.

That said: I think the kind of articles exhibited here is mostly about giving publicity to a game that has far less hype surrounding it than Skyrim and that by comparing the two, games sites think they can increase the sales of a game they believe deserve it. That kind of writing is just something you have to get used to in the bloggy web media. It's not "biased" as much as it is "sensationalist". It gathers clicks, and because it gathers clicks, I think we can expect more of it.

Sorry when I said Sony acquired them I dont mean what you think.I mean they asked them to develop an exclusive game for PS3.Demon Souls which Sony published.

And you're still mistaken; Namco Bandai published Demon's Souls in Europe, but apart from that, they had nothing to do with the game.

It was developed by From Software in cooperation with SCE Japan Studios.

That was from software not Namco Bandai.
