| Shinobi-san said: Difficult to compare the two though. Demon souls was a first of its kind...and got quite a lot of hype from word of mouth. People wanted to play this awesome, overly hard and very unique game. With Dark Souls the novelty has worn off...the type of game is more familiar now. And for a few people the game appears to be too similar to demon souls and wont go out and buy the game again. I really don't think it would have mattered in the end. |
Even beyond that, I think those two games have shown other publishers around the world that it's okay to release an extremely difficult game with a steep learning curve. No need for hand-holding. I like what it's done for console gaming. Knowingly going against the grain, selling better than expected, and loving it.
