Alot of game reviewers claim gams to be hard. When  me nd my friends dont find them hard per se. Challenging yes, but to say poor Xbox players is rediculous. Xbox players are hardcore players in general. 

OT of Demon Souls over Oblivion, I put in about 250 hours into Oblivion. If Demon Souls can do that then I'm there. I'll wait though based on my friends  description of the game. Much more games I'm interested in  than DS right now. Story is great and all, but RPG's should be engaging on all fronts. And from what I understand theres better out there than DS.  


XBox players mostly are a bunch of kids playing Halo and CoD. Check the top 10 X360 titles in this very same site. I would hardly define FPS players as "hardcore players".

Regarding the gameplay time I spent 400 hours in Oblivion and 300 or so in Demons Soul's. But I also had my PS3 failing so I lost all my gamesaves (talking about my shitty situations..). A clean gameplay for Platinum in DS requires 3 rounds and a half to get all magics, miracles and similar. With tricks it can be done in half the time. Still both have a good replay value. DS, being online, is also fun to replay to build very specialized characters for invasions /that I gave up).

Interesting enough (I think that it was IGN claiming so), Dark Souls seems to have more content than Skyrim. After 60 hours playing IGN said they kept metting new kind of monsters in different enviroments, while, as we know, the Elder Scroll keeps repeating the kind of enemies.

Ok, I've found it, it is actually all over the internet. For example check http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/119/1196353p2.html

Last thing: Bethesda as usual is exploiting the use of DLCs. I decided that since now on I won't ever buy again a Bethesda game on day 1, but I will wait for the GOTY version with all DLC, and especially bug fixes, included. I know Oblivion was much more stable that the 2 Fallout, but still I am totally sick of Bethesda way of milking money. Dark Souls will come with no DLC ever. Like DS. There simply is no need for it. Play the game, beat it and then move forward.

Said that don't get me wrong. I will buy Skyrim after the full game is out and after the price drop. But I preordered Dark Souls. Special Edition with the bonus content. All together it costs 43 euro instead of 60. So even the price is better!

Although I agree with your comment about COD. I dont aagree with your comment about Halo. Halo's multiplayer iss designed so its not easy. In fact the reason COD players pla COD is the level system and the fact its unbalanced. 

Halo  is one of the few shooters these days where its completely balancedd for every user. Meaning if your winning, your winning because your good. Same with he new Gears of War 3. Microsoft First Party games tend to not follow the trend of other multiplayer games. Its completely about the skill.

 

Anyways I will definately look into Dark Souls. Ive just heard a few things from friends. And most dont put it in the same quality bracket as Elder Scrolls. 

Hey when I get it  might be seriously surprised. And wish I picked it up first. 

 I hope that its a great game.
