Absolutely fantastic. Definitely not even close to perfect, though. There are a lot of stupid flaws, but none are crippling. I don't think anything can be "pure perfection" with flaws. Doesn't mean it isn't excellent.

Tetris is the most perfect game I've ever played. Doesn't mean it's the best.

It tops my list of all time favs of the 7th gen, so gotta agree!

I can understand where you're coming from. Dark Souls isn't my favourite game of all time (almost there, though), but I do find it to be perfect in every department.

 

Flaws are there, and that should void any sign of perfection, I agree... but at the same time, I'm a flawed individual, so I don't mind going around saying contradictory things.

Which one did you played first? People tend to like more the one the play first.


Dark Souls. And yes, that tends to be the golden rule with Souls games :P

Well, it's understandable, it is your first soul game. The thing that you felt with dark souls were the same thing that I felt with Demon souls since it was my first souls game. After reading a lot that you would die countless time, that only motivated me to tried a new type of game never experienced before. I played demon souls over and over again, couldn't stop playing it. When I played Dark souls, felt that it was a good game but not at the same level as Demon Souls, maybe because I already knew how to play the game, so I didn't find it that difficult. The struggle was nowhere near what I had with Demon Souls.


The thing with me about Demon's Souls was not the fact that I had prior experience with Souls and therefore things got easier; that's something I can understand, despite having core differences both games (By the time I got to Dark Souls 2, I didn't have that much problems beating it, to be honest). My thing about Demon's Souls is that, while the lore feels more powerful than Dark Souls, its dungeon design wasn't nowhere as brilliant in my eyes, and ending bosses were way too flashy but with zero substance (not all of them, mind you). You kill a certain boss by pressing two buttons, then slashing him once when he's down, for example. There's another one that commits suicide in front of your eyes. That's awesome from a lore-perspective, but not so much when it translates into a turn-off when playing.


given how you explained it here i think thats exactly why i prefered Demons Souls more. But then again i played Demon Souls first. :P

How can something be the "most perfect"?

I played Demon's Souls first, but I think that Dark Souls is an improvement in pretty much every single way. Both are masterpieces though.

Being better than perfection of course

That can't happen here in logic world. But I think there is a bigger picture, a realm that is not bound by the rules of logic/the Universe.

I know no logic!

Yet you used logic to reach that conclusion.

That rule isn't true! My first souls game was Demon Souls and I loved Dark Souls a lot more!

The thing is that once you experience the whole "you are going to die a lot" part, the rest of the games lose that magic. But Dark Souls had something else, Dark Souls was a lot more brutal than Demon Souls. It had a big world and it was perfectly crafted, every part of it was connected and it all made sense. It was a big step forward for the series.
