Final Fantasy VIII is a great story inside a terrible RPG.

Dark Souls is an awesome RPG but a terrible action game.

Bioshock is a great adventure game inside a terrible FPS.

Dark Souls has one of the better combat at the time. 

The combat in any 2D fighting game totally blows away Dark Souls.  Specifically the controls in Dark Souls kind of suck.  They are complicated and not intuitive.  Dark Souls is still one of my favorite games of all time, but it's not because of the action part.
