No one could possibly make an objective argument as to why Demon's Souls is any way, shape or form better than Dark Souls.


No one.

lol.

1) Less pointless running between locations.

You mean an actual connected, structured, alive world?

2) Better environments. Much more urban and gothic, which works better both with the atmosphere and with the engine itself.

No. Demon Souls had a grand total of 5 different enviroments and 1 of them sucked (stonefang levels). Dark Souls has everything that you'd want in a medieval setting, and there's just so much more variety.

3) More concise storytelling,

The whole story is basically told in the intro and the ending of the game. NOTHING in between. Dark Souls's lore is much much more richer, better and has an actual construction.

4) The Nexus, giving you a much better sense of "ooooh, finally a break from this" than any campfire

Big, empty boring room which takes you out of the immersion and atmosphere of the game

5) I found the bosses to be more exciting and tougher to beat

The only hard ones being Flamelurker, King Allant and to smaller extent Maneater

just to name a few.

Now here are my reasons

1.) Better world ( i cant emphasize enough how better it is)

2.) More weapons, spells, armour, items, NPCs

3.) Bigger variety in enemies, enviroments, tactics and character design

4.) Much, much better PvP structure (big + for me)

5.) More bosses

6.) Better graphics

7.) It encourages exploring since it has many levels which you dont need to complete

8.) No bullshit world/character tendecy crap, that kept me from accessing many areas and weapons in the game

9.) Covenants making PvP and farming more interesting and rewarding

10.) You cant relly on magic and old spice/grass popping through the game

11.) You arent limited in PvP by being in human form

....there are just so many reasons why Dark Souls is an improvement in every way imaginable

A few linked corridors is an alive world now? Nexus is a big boring room?

Yeah, argue with yourself. I don't even want to write back to this if you're just insulting the game, and you are.


Linked corridors? 

 

Anor Londo, Darkroot Forest, Painted World and Lost Izalith would like to have a word with you

And please understand, i am not insulting the game. Its probably my 3rd favorite RPG ever (after Dark and Fallout 3) I've put over 500 hours into it. But to deny the clear improvments Dark Souls is rather foolish

I've not reached any of those aside from Darkroot Forest yet - I have little motivation to play it atm. Partially because I really disliked Darkroot Forest - the game does not do nature well IMO. If most of it was like Undead Parish/Burg, THAT would be the shit.
