Indeed. In Demon's Souls, the atmosphere itself was opressive and bleak, there wasn't any sign that things could get better for the lost souls trapped in the nexus and the whole setup oozed a descent into slow despair, which was accentuated with each of the world's designs (especially Valley of Defilement).

Dark souls was a bit less opressive, even though it was dark in it's own way. Also, Dark Souls had far more variability in the gameplay department and you could formulate much more strategies and different approaches than in Demon's Souls, which were a big bonus for me. Still, it didn't quite give me the same feeling as playing Demon's Souls for the first time did

Do you think you might have felt differently had you played dark souls first?

I don't know, though it is a fact that there's a large difference of atmospheres between both games. At least for me, Demon's Souls atmosphere suits the game perfectly while on Dark Souls, sometimes it seemed to not convey the feelings that it was you alone and feeble versus the most powerful forces of Lordain.
