Skyrim more popular then Dark Souls sure. Clearly better? Personal Taste. I'm still excited a rpg won game of the year tho.

Well one has a metacritic of 96 and the other a 89. Id say it appears clearly better to me.

If you think games are better becuase Metacritic says it  thats you. I form my own imperssions  from what I see and play and I haven't even said Dark Souls is better.  Metacritic doesn't dictate anything.  Darksouls deserved to be on GoTY list (In my opinion) but just because people like Skyrim doesn't mean Dark Souls is unworthy.

I never said you said that either, but indiviual gamers opinions mean squat. A metacritic score is based on dozens of professional critics reviews, that does mean alot and going by the scores one game looks to be better than the other one easily. Not that Dark Souls score is poor in its own right though.

These "Professional Critics" are  nothing more then people with opinions. They arent the good game deciding overlords so no Skyrim isn't "Clearly" better.  AND if they were "Professional" they would have been mass talk about the problems it has. Skyrim can be better then Dark Souls in every possible way however it losses in 1 ascept. Dark Souls accutally works as intended. :)
