Not quite sure why Demon's Souls II and Dark Souls II would release so close to eachother.

What was Allant doing inside the Old One? I never understood that.

Why? Can you explain? Battlefield 4 and CoD will be launched close too.

It was ment to be.  If anything the last boss in world 1 was the closer to a true last boss.  As for which game is better?

-Dark Souls is far more balanced, it has better graphics and animations, covenants are awesome, and the smithing system was way better.

-Demon's Souls had a much more coherant story.  It was amazing how it nearly had none, but near the end you realized you were becoming the true Demon just like Maiden Astrea,  King Allant, and all of those before them.  You could then save the world, or become what you fought.  Plus the concept of a Demon pyrimad scheme just makes 10x more sense than whatever was going on in Dark Souls lol.

-Also I feel the boss battles of Demon's Souls were just better.  The Monk's Headwrappings made another player the boss!!!   

Overall I would say it is a tie though.  They both have there pros and cons, but Dark Souls undeniably improved Demon's Souls core gameplay across the board.

 Minus Bell.

PvP was horrible in both games lol. Doesn't quite detract from the over all experience but its something they could definitely fix. I also wouldnt mind the option to just partner up with a friend if wanted to whether its designed to be that way or not. They could truly take the Demon/Dark Souls series to the next level with a few tweaks and a little more optimization. Hell half of the battle is fighting the clunky controls. Nothing worse than being way up high just to have your character magically slide off the edge and fall to his death lol

Because they're different games from different series. I'd say Battlefield 4 and Battlefield: Bad Company 3 launching close together would be a better example.

Umm no. PVP was epic in demons souls.. Clunky controls?????? No, the controls are perfect and it has the smoothest most precise comabt ever. not one review said the control were clinky...please. The combat animations and controls put every other RPG to shame. You don't know what you are talking about.

So you proved my point... Demon's Souls 2 and Dark Souls 2 can be launched close... different games that share the same genre.

i really hope they announce more than one game at that event. im not really a fan of demons souls.
