Although I agree with your comment about COD. I dont aagree with your comment about Halo. Halo's multiplayer iss designed so its not easy. In fact the reason COD players pla COD is the level system and the fact its unbalanced. 

Halo  is one of the few shooters these days where its completely balancedd for every user. Meaning if your winning, your winning because your good. Same with he new Gears of War 3. Microsoft First Party games tend to not follow the trend of other multiplayer games. Its completely about the skill.

Anyways I will definately look into Dark Souls. Ive just heard a few things from friends. And most dont put it in the same quality bracket as Elder Scrolls. 

Hey when I get it  might be seriously surprised. And wish I picked it up first. 

 I hope that its a great game.

No, but it still sold at least 1.26 millions worldwide and it boosted Japanese PS3 sales:

Oblivion on PS3 sold 2.21 millions. It is really not clear how vgchartz computed the DS sales, since the entry is for the Atlus (NA) version but it includes the Japanese and EU sales as well, but that's ok. It's still just half a million less than what FF XIII sold on the X360. But true, CoD has 4 entries in the PS3 top 10 as well. Still at least  FF XIII is there at #8.

You should also be very interested to know that Dark Souls already sold 260,000 copies in Japan only, this opening week (news of yesterday):

Way above the expectations. That is very promising I would say.

And how would they be so different? They are both action RPG. Both use a medieval theme. Both have dragons. Both have character classes. Magics, weapons, healing items and all that kind of stuff is there. Both let to cumstomize the character when levelling up. Both have an open world, although Skyrin's one is supposed to be fully open. And both will be exceptional. To me it is like to discuss about Uncharted vs Tomb Raider.

Then it happens that Demon's/Dark Souls is a new IP and many that played Demon's Souls just hope for it to be very successful. To be honest it is the only game that introduced innovative concepts, at least in the online playing: onine blended into the single player campaign. It can be turned off and on signing out and in the PSN (or XBLA now). It kinda feel transparent to the player. I liked a comment I've read in a site: Forget about graphics. This [the DS online mode] IS the next generation of gaming.

My advice, don't rely too much on friends for what to play, make up your own mind. With that said; PLEASE get Dark Souls- at the very least rent it, if it's anything on Demon's Souls, it's gonna be an epic affair.

"Most don't put Dark Soul's in the same quality bracket as Skyrim"

Either those people never played Demon's Souls or their completely oblivious to the shit ton of bugs that Bethesda releases their games with.

Its only some opinions directed at my friends in real life. 

I may end up disagreeing with them. But generally based on the fact we play the same type of games it holds wieght for me. 

I know Elder Scrolls is amazing bcause  Ive played all of them. Ive never personally played through Demon Souls. 

Its just an opinion bro. :)

Mostly that ES have so much non-combat stuff, and that the combat is more EXP based than skill based. Also that it's mainly first-person (although, yeah, you can theoretically play it third person). I thought Oblivion was incredibly boring though and couldn't play for more than a few hours. That's just my personal taste, of course.

I think DeS/DaS is far more like a Castlevania: SotN/Bushido Blade crossover, which is far more appealing to me.

No problem. I had a similar exprience with Devil May Cry 3. I had an incredibly difficult time finishing the game the first time. Granted, this had more to do with the fact that it was one of my first experiences with the action genre. If I tried it again today, I probably wouldn't find it near as hard.

As far as the core gameplay, there is nothing cheap about Demon's Souls. You might get outnumbered, but this is generally a result of poor strategy. The trick is to figure out how to approach and isolate enemies. You don't really want to be taking on multiple enemies at a time in the game. You also shouldn't get overpowered by enemies unless you don't put much thought into how you allocate your stats (you have a lot of freedom in the level-up process). The other way you might be overpowered by enemies is if you try some levels (or parts of levels) earlier than you should. The good news is that you will find out very quickly if you are underleveled.

What they should do is allow you to pause it and it will automatically take you into offline mode unless someone has already invaded your world.

that's what I meant, but did not say :)
