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

i'm a huge fanboy of both games but overall i still enjoyed demon's souls better.

a more interesting story/world with bosses that felt far more unique and a co-op system that wasn't a horrible clusterfuck made demon's better to me.  demon's also did a really great job with level design in developing unique memorable encounters around almost every corner.  

don't get me wrong,.. dark brought some great stuff to the table as well.  i enjoyed the open world design for the most part.  i wish it had been better designed.  it always buged me that after rining the second bell andor londo was just so seperated from the rest of the world. ash lake/painted world was just too segregated.  it would have been better, imo, to keep it more condenced.   i did enjoy the convenant system but, for the record, i missed the world tendancy system.  dark souls did a much better job having each of the character classes feel different and having more than one "best" weapon. 

anyhoo, both good but i prefered demon's

 

...but lol at those trying to claim dark wasnt the spiritual successor to demon's.
