That's so fucking true , i love Dks and skyrim , but come on , the melee sistem is : swing swing swing and the magic combat is cast cast cast .

Luigi Samele So true, I love both games but the combat in skyrim is almost pointless. The game is fun but the dark souls combat gets even better as you improve yourself ( not just your character)

Cocpro if a game needs moods to be good then it sucks from the beginning

DAEDRADONKEY Adding more HP to enemies does not make a game more difficult. Well, on some stage it does, but it's completely artificial. Fun difficult combat is fast-paced, dynamic and strategic. Boring difficult combat is hacking an enemy for 30 minutes and pausing every two seconds to heal.

Alrickattack Sure, sorry if it seemed like i was excluding the possibility

That was honestly the best part of this whole video

That was honestly the best part of this whole video

Ye true. It could have been so good! Skyrim dragon vs Dark Souls dragon! Dragonborn vs Chosen Undead!

PonzooonTheGreat I hope someone does make a video for those ideas. Once i told myself that those wouldn't be in this It made it easier to like.

PonzooonTheGreat most of those are people who said fuck it and walked just to see if there was an invisible path there.

But in Skyrim Cicero laught i think .😄

@@petermakar3665 Cicero is a cheerful guy :D

And don't forget Sheogorath

HELL YEAH

So do the two in front of Whirrun talking about Cicero

PLUSHAMANIA I know this comment is 3 years old, but I totally agree!

Same as the above!

Ever try Dragons Dogma?

Jack Crater I’ve looked at some gameplay and it looks pretty fun! How does the difficulty compare to the souls games?

@@tianm740 I honestly never played souls that much at all but dragons Dogma combat is very well done with rather complex mechanics and amazing boss fights. I will warn you though the leveling is a bit weird to understand and there's many other little things that are important to know such as when creating your character because height and weight play a huge role in your play style as well. It's definitely a survival open world rpg with fairly smart AI combat. No joke one of the best rpgs I've ever played in a very long time. The story honestly is a bit mediocre but the overall game is incredible. You can also create your own pawn as a companion and share your pawns with other players online. I have like 5 different pawns you could hire for free if you ever felt interested in the future just hmu.

agreed

Cole Wentworth no FUS ROA DAH either, what a shame

4/10 IGN - no mimics

What are your thoughts about the moon?

Pretty sure he hates it as it "replaces" the sun.

william portillo Nah, that's not the reason. That moon kid in Anor Londo tried to touch me with his snakes. Never again will I look at that white ball in the sky the same way.

Isn't he your brother?!

InhaledPancakes Does it still count if you're banished from the family? Either way, it's gross.

+randomintrestsperson Budget constraints, technical issues, unexpected events. Many reasons are to blame for fact that this video could have been better. But we choose to keep looking past this.

+Half-Light Studios I think a slightly more intricate sto- No. I mean, I think a story would've been a great addition for negligible costs.

+Half-Light Studios This is crap and you know it.

+randomintrestsperson Agreed, pretty lack luster.

+Half-Light Studios Budget constraints? What like $20?

good one

Dark scrolls

@@DivergentStyles skysouls

+Ichabod Locust Thanks?

fuckin savage

I'm going to use this.

+Ichabod Locust well the armors weapons, extras (chests and stuff) and also the landscapes are nice but yeah it wouldve been better without the terrible special effects^^

I referred mostly to storyline. The effort put in is inarguable, and amateur special effects are acceptable, considering, but there's never an excuse for lack of story, and 7 solid minutes of really poor, disorienting screen cuts. I had no idea what went on by the end, besides mayhaps random LARPing cut up into seamed chunks.

Ya, plus Skyrim has better mods. Basically if I want to play a spell user, I do it in Skyrim cause that game does magic better. If I want to melee, I head over to dark souls. Also I modded Skyrim to be pretty difficult, so to me there's not much difference between the two in that regard.

***** i play a spell sword thief blacksmith in skyrim

***** Mods do not count as they are made by players, it's like saying i can mod DS2 to make it look better but DS2 is not about the graphics just like you mod Skyrim to make it more difficult.

***** They do count because the vast majority of games are not moddable, and certainly not moddable on the scale that Skyrim is. When they made the game, Bethesda specifically made sure it was moddable - they even provided software with which to mod it. From Software didn't do any of that - like you said, you can make the game prettier, or look different, but that's it. Moddability is a feature of Skyrim, go check out the Skyrim Nexus to check out the sheer scale of this feature.

***** i know i played skyrim for like 400 hours and i got to the point where you couldn't find any vanilla stuff...but that's exactly my point, i do agree that it is a feature of the game, but technically not part of it as it was made by players, not the developers (the mods, not the moddability) if we are going to judge both games we have to do so by looking at the game fresh and unmodded. IMO, DS was more intense and engaging, therefore i like it more, but Skyrim was also a masterpiece.

i hope they make a 2 player skyrim remake moddable servers included plus since they added voice selection and actual talking in EOS from your character they could add that mayby probobly not but a multiplayer one sounds cool to stop OP only one player is dovakhin but difficulty is doubled ( PAST THIS IS EDITED ) and i guess mayby they could let player 2 learn dragonshouts but player one is the one they referr to as DOVAHKIIN

I believe Dark Souls is the better game, but... Skyrim took over two years of my life. I think that counts for something. Skyrim was such a good game to sit back, relax, and roleplay to. The first couple times through, learning tidbits of lore and discovering new quests was awesome. Afterwards, blasting through what I used to think were challenges and creating super-OP characters was awesome. Even after a year or two break from the game, going back and getting a rush of nostalgia was- you guessed it- awesome. While I feel that Dark Souls is a better game, Skyrim will always hold a place in my mind.

HoplooWare No. One is like Dominoes Cheese-stuffed Cheesy Bread and the other is Mountain Dew. Fuck, my stereotypical nerd/gamer is showing...

And Darksouls has lots of moss.

Glad to know I'm not alone, for I also love both games to death.

Damn, dark souls has saves and yet doesn’t even know it….. dark souls must be retarded.

***** Yeah that is normal for dark souls players, we think about our moves before we play.

***** but in skyrim you dont have a place where you have to balancing to cross a tiny brigde with giant baldes that gona push you off the edge all while battling a guy with bleed effect in font and got another shoot lighting at your back.

Watayuki Kimihyra but only a moron would walk into those tiny bridges while fighting black fantoms.... sens fortress is easy...

kevin rodriguez Sen fortress? Easy ? try playing it with an unfix PC version.

as i mentioned, only a moron would jump into blades while getting attacked, unfix pc version? i remember playing it on launch ps3 people invading on every turn. pvp sure thats difficult depending on the player, but sens fortress makes it easier to distance you and said enemy phantom to heal..

+Solomon the kaiju demon he wasn't cursed

508hunter OH yeah forgot about that bit of lore but hey then why does he need a bonfire to revive if he's not cursed

Solomon the kaiju demon IDK I didn't make the vid

508hunter RRRRAAAAH VID MAKERS YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!

+508hunter It would make sense if he was another race, but in the lore all humanity shares the curse.

***** Nah, they'd just roll into it. s will save them.

Combustion, combustion, combustion!

***** Pryomancies would destroy him.

PvE he would be fine PvP Ehhhh he'd get ganked by three guys spamming pyromancies

chowderxillia Not really. Considering the Dovahkin's stamina regens slower.. He wouldn't be able to use bonfires since he's not dead. And the Dovahkin is clumsy in comparison to the DKS characters. The largest thing Dovahkin gets to fight in Skyrim is Dragons - which are midgets compared to most of the DKS enemies. You also have to consider the difficulties between the two games. Skyrim doesn't throw surprises at the players because Bethesda expects the players to be stupid; and this shows in the world around Dovahkin; where he's pretty much treated like the hero in a world of fucking retards.

Chara thank for pointing that out, people always say tye same comments even though they KNOW that we got the message, yet still comment it

is that the same Chara from Undertale

Lol

The Witcher 3 ?

EarthCyclop Not close enough. Witcher 3 does not have dual wielding, shield and sword and dodge roll combat like Dark Souls.

qsqua No one would play it. Because it would take too long time.

qsqua Dark souls already has a pretty solid world, it just doesn't like you.

Fallout 4?

Go play allahu akbar. We need more of you like that.

You pick a race in dark souls except all the characters look like there constipated

git gud

*git gud

@ Obama's third husband You don’t really pick a race, only origin and class, etc. Also, every Dark Souls NPC looks better than any Elder Scrolls NPC Lmao

Fading Soul plz

Or have it be a mimic that kills you just when you feel so happy about finally not dying.

Mimic*

***** It is mean to be scary, just not in the jump scare or "look I'm spooo-ooky" way. It's haunting, atmospheric, and oppressive, and from a gameplay standpoint every fight carries the threat of death, and the incredible tension that goes along with it.

***** The game is depressing as fuck. No humor allowed. The penalty of death in the second game makes it so much worse, and yet better.

***** I just lost 400k souls on my way to a bonfire to get back to Majule :'c life aint easy man

***** Oh my friend… they didn't make Blighttown and The Abyss scary for no reason….

***** Yeah. A game with atmosphere as thick as mud surprisingly isn't a bad thing.

Mmmmmmm goood

"..Casul" * Giant Dad's mask *

ornstein vs every special dragon from skyrim at the same time on legendary ornstein has new tropheys now

+colt grisham nah, ornstein is weak to fire

Wait really?

+ULTIMATE POTATO FROM HELL But Ornstein has killed dragons from the age of ancients, who are most likely more powerful than the ones in skyrim (except for Alduin maybe).

+yugioh guy it was said, they were immortal thanks to their scales, wasn't it?

+Armin The First I thought the exact same thing. Shame really.

Radiant Royalty nice profile pic

Armin The First All the rage these days! Thanks! I like yours too.

I remember my first encounter to the Mimic😹

Yes, amazing RPG Isnt it?

Pink Guy Of DOOM however dark souls combat mechanisms outmatch Skyrim

+Oghma Infinium ok cool but keep the bias out man, both games are good

Comparing Dark Souls and Skyrim is probably one of the stupidest things i've ever heard. Just like COD and GTA 5, lol.

Atlas i mean hes right. if you are looking only for combat systems, games like witcher and dark souls will always beat skyrim... simply because skyrim is less focused on combat. they are both great games... and i like them equally... but each has its strengths. there are sooooo many more ways to play skyrim than there are ds games. they fall into the same genre, so they can be compared pretty easily. that said... everyone should just get both lol lets be real

Check elder scrolls lore, 4 eras of history almost 10,000 years of lore, they even have their own historians for that shit.

Queen Chrysalis I know, Skyrim is The Odyssey.

I'd rather actually play the legend than read it.

Ha skyrim has much much more content back story storyline and customization so everyone stop hating on it. Skyrim is like the Oddysey and dark souls is the equivalent to a newspaper in storyline. It is superior in fighting barely

Josh Coulombe Not True. The lore of Dark Souls isn't prominently displayed, but denoting it to "A newspaper article" is highly inaccurate. Also, the fighting it terms of difficulty? About the same. Fighting in terms of being fluid, dynamic, and realistic? Dark Souls by a massive margin. Don't be so fast to hate on a game, and this is coming form an avid Skyrim player :3

Shit? Lol

He's accurate u know, but dark souls 2 is still better than skyrim

Maxwell Hubbard ds2 sucks. i havent even finished it I died too much... of boredom

How is Dark Souls 2 shit? They were both entertaining and creative well made games. Sure it wasn't DS1 challenging but none of you can even state viable reasons as to why, just criticize this and that, rather than appreciate decent things. Be glad you can even buy the game and console and play it. Not everyone has the luxury of that. This is why Bioware and a few other game companies just can't win with the fans anymore.

I'm not saying dark souls 2 is shit (for one I love the souls franchise) but dark souls two is not better than skyrim. (In my opinion)

Appreciate the feedback! We love to do this, and we're learning every day.

+Half-Light Studios The chest should have been a mimic.

zekky1000 I dont know but the title did promise "Skyrim vs Dark Souls" There was a lack of the whole "vs" part

I thought it was gonna be like a review type video.

Not really, at best Dovah gets 500-600 hp. That's starting level undead level of HP. His weapon (Legendary Daedric sword) is cool because it deals 300 at max which is amazing for it's speed. His armor would be amazing because it can reach upto 600-700 defense in every category whist even Havel is like 100 something. If Dovah were to be counted as an undead, he would approx. be a 80 lvl character with no points in vigor.

Holy Devil oh sweet Lord

Giant Dad.

***** So we just gonna forget the weapons forged from the Lord souls including the one of the beginner of humanity himself? Havel set? And dat 300 HP though. He would be one shotted by a +10 weapon with buffs.

+Banci Ki So you compare simply being invincible and dealing infinite damage to a more realistic game? All you did was saying "Oh look at this badass he is infinitely strong and completely invincible! Your character that *can actually die* has no chance against him!" That's like comparing the flash's speed with a garden snail. Its just pointless because one of them is just infinitely better in everything than the other one.

Eric Frost But.......... I'm both. What does that mean?

***** Shun the crossbreed to the Painted World!

Strongarm McArmstrong Won't help, I'll use my Hearthstone

+Eric Frost Then, your choice is Portal...it works!

so true

+Andrew Espinoza You know where everything is in Dark Souls because exploration is almost required. In skyrim you can do whatever you want but most of the quests are exactly the same.

+Andrew Espinoza dark souls has the best lore or atleast that on par with skyrim it has much much better lvl design and ds has probably the best story telling i ve ever seen and im a big book and movies nerd

+Petar Jovovic also its harder so you get into the game more and cant half ass it

+Andrew Espinoza Yeah I would say Skyrim has better defined lore but only because there were 4 other full games before it. I do think that Dark Souls does a better job of presenting it though. While it does have some really obscure info (item descriptions, really?) I still prefer it to all the books in skyrim. If you haven't played the previous 4 elder scrolls games there is basically no point. Dark souls leaves a lot of its lore up to speculation, only hinting at what actually happened.

É nozes.

+Doge The Bounty Hunter It depends on what your preferences are. Some people don't have the time (or patience) for Dark Souls. Skyrim is just better suited for me.

+IgnemFeram01 Dark sousl>>>>>>>Skyrim essa desculpa é pq não consegue zerar.

Vitor Proencio Um.... Okay?

+IgnemFeram01 kkk zoas, como vc disse cada um tem seu gosto.

Ikr I was waiting for that chest to eat him

+Jazz1992 I know... He used no shouts. This wasn't the DB... It was some pathetic bandit.

Chrisfragger1 remember, you can't shout in midair

tko demo mid air? The big guy with the hammer that killed him like 6 times? Could ahve fus'ed him... Could have used etherial shout then jumped down the ledge.

Chrisfragger1 Yeah... let's just say this "dragonborn" is defiantly not the brightest or the loudest if you know what i mean.

Same

me too

same

haha. i wanted it to be so bad. Would have ben a great ending! Finally the elder scroll! CHOMP. XD

same

Darkskys Soulsrim

I'm stealing those names

Dark Rim 😎💩

Dark Sky?

Darkholes

Oh yea .. there's also co op

Here's why Skyrim is a better game IMO: More combat, more bossfights, and way more content. While Dark Souls has a more compact world, it feels really tight, and you find yourself fighting the same monsters/animals with the same animation over and over (because you die), and all the human/animal enemies look different but has more or less the same strategy.. skyrim has a lot of lore and mythos so the game stays fresh while Dark Souls gets frustrating realy quickXD Nah I'm just playin with u man.

Malcolm Kender Oh yea .. there's also mods.XD

i wouldn't compare the two games. Both are great in different ways.

Malcolm Kender There are mods in Dark souls as well. :)

Probably

lol yeah

Mr Gorman yep but I still think the dovahkinn would win

Become ethereal shout and spam summons the dovahkiin fucks dark soul's harder than it fucks it's players.

WTF ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!? blazenx56: "I thinkthis is how you english but i'm a bit too retarded to truely know"

yes thats a great way to put the lore of datk souls but obe thing no one has really figured out the lore like did all life come from the dark or light. no one really knows yet

In my opinion, you're trying to solve a puzzle that isn't there. Most of the lore is either fan speculation or theory; e.g Pinwheel's family, Crossbreed Priscilla's parents, or the relationship of the Four Knights. What *is* there is very vague.

TheBlackLighthouse Yeah, a lot of it IS speculation. Maybe there isn't one answer you can find. But that's sort of the point. The way the story was designed was based off of the game's head directer's childhood. He loved reading western fantasy, but due to not speaking english, would need to imagine and fill in the blanks the best he could. Its all part of the experience.

I feel like Skyrim's lore is just a ton of info dumps with little real meaning. The little bits I gleamed from Dark Souls while playing felt much more important and interesting than any of the books or quests in Skyrim. Just my opinion.

***** And mine as well, 7. Mine as well.

+Mahou Tsukai Oblivion was the worst elder scrolls ever according to sales and also notes given by players/critics. It's story was overall meh, and it's gameplay also. It just had the good rpg elements from morrowind but that was it.

+Niro Quill Skyrim had incredible sales, and good rates from players and critics.

***** Each one has its own opinion... The sales/reviews don´t matter, but your criterion

+Vicente Santiago I can fully deny that Skyrim is a masterpiece, since it isn't even the best ES game. It's pretty to look at, sure. But the story is amazingly awful. Not to mention the dumbed down combat variety, and spells being a joke compared to previous games. Skyrim is far from a master piece, it's a decent RPG.

Glassman823 It is a masterpiece for me. I respect your opinion tho

I guess being stuck in the middle of the night with a pack of wolves chasing you and having to sacrifice your horse in order to get a head start doesn't count as intense.

Dark souls is better face it bro

How is Dark Souls more intense.

Everything looks the same, dark souls is unique,especially with its bosses

I thought we were talking about gameplay not aesthetics.

lmao..

err, he did. Like multiple times.

He did,he probobly just didn't find any enemies for a while

Note how I said "immediately".

he may not have the darksign yet...

Gun Jack You wanna go?

Hoopla Llama yes

im skyrim and dark souls fan but id never pick 1 over other neither are anything alike aside from use of swords n bows xD skyrims more relaxed casual game while dark souls gives u challenge for planning and tactics totally diff play styles so u cant really compare 1 to other

or the treasure chest should be mimic

He should have been invaded by a Legend.

well, pardon me but I was expecting dragons!

Skyrim looses because it has no Multiplayer and nearly no bosses

You mean "loses" not "looses". There is no win or lose. Multiplayer and bosses are the only reason why you play games? There is no prerequisites that say that games have to have bosses or have multiplayer functionality. There are countless amazing games that don't have multilayer and/or lots of bosses. You give up good story lines and meaning for those things and then it just becomes another shitty actions game with no meat to it. You are obviously not a true gamer. RPG means Role Playing Game. That means you take on the role of a person living within the world set inside the game. There is no need for lots of bosses. Because it's not Mario Bros. You create the outcome and there is no set way to play it.

lumberjum555 If you are playing a game just for the sake of combat systems or multiplayer, then you are missing the point of the game you are playing entirely. Some games are meant for you to fight constantly without a break in between and to complete tasks to progress in the game. . Skyrim is not like that because it is not an action jrpg like DarkSouls. It is a free-roaming rpg. They are no where near the same game style or game play in the first place. Why even compare them? It's like comparing apples to oranges. Skyrim does lack in some areas but overall it is a good game. You should try Morrowind. It's arguably the greatest rpg ever made. Anyway, it took a lot of time to create Skyrim and it's not all about fighting. You could beat Skyrim at level 12 or lower, at least I have.... that is, if you want to just do the main quests and end it at that. DarkSouls doesn't give you free reign to go anywhere you want on the map and you have to follow the linear storyline provided for you. Sure you can build a character and what not but as far as being a nonlinear game it isn't. I know this because I own and play both games. Open rpgs allow you to go where you want out of the gate. DarkSouls makes you rings bells and complete tasks to reach different areas and to make it to the final boss. That is as cliche and boring as it gets. And I'm just not into multiplayer gaming. I like single player games. I enjoy not being bothered by trolls and assholes. Multiplayer is not all that. Back in the day we had multiplayer. It was called a game party and used extra controllers. It was lot more fun. The problem a lot of people have with Skyrim is that it doesn't have DarkSouls combat system, or enough bosses and it lacks multiplayer functionality. Those are small gripes IMO. Having a boss at the end of each level is a cliche throwback to the days of the N.E.S. Skyrim doesn't have levels. I was 12 when the N.E.S. first came out. I had an Atari 2600 before that. Gamers back then dreamed of fully immersive games that allowed free roaming and to play outside of the main story and Legend of Zelda was the only game that came close to that. DarkSouls is an attempt to recreate the purposefully hard games from back in the day and it tries to recreate the idea of playing a level... beat a boss, play another level... beat another boss and so on, till you reach the final boss. I have been there and done that time and time again. When you are an adult you want more out of a game. Skyrim isn't like that at all. . That is the difference.

WHAT! The gameplay (Combat System) is to me the most important part to the game.

There's a lot more to Dark Souls than just fighting, and it's the better game. Yes, it's bigger and provides more content than Dark Souls but that doesn't mean it's the higher quality product. You can sit and say combat isn't important to you, but the fact remains that you'll be doing a lot of it in both games. If the combat system in a game that has a lot of combat is bad, then it's a huge detriment to the whole experience which is absolutely the case with Skyrim. There's no depth and fighting requires no sort of skill nor strategy. Instead it opts for flashy execution moves that seemingly happen at random, though these become repetitive and annoying instead of satisfying towards the player. Dark Souls is the more linear experience but that isn't a detriment. It allows for far more intentional design and hand crafted, variable environments. It ensures that the player never gets bored of what they see, since they're almost guaranteed to see something completely different around the corner. Skyrim doesn't have this, and as a result, despite having such a huge map to explore the environments become tiresome and dull rather fast. There's scarcely any variation in dungeon design and the forced puzzles just end up insulting to the players intelligence over being genuinely satisfying to overcome. Generally you fight the same enemies in the same looking dungeons, figuring out the same easy puzzles to receive similar kinds of loot. The same too can be said for the overworld. It's very easy to predict what comes next at any point during the game. There's nothing interesting to drive the player to explore the huge world, and the poorly written quests and forgettable characters are a detriment to the game as well. Skyrim itself is just one big letdown. There's nothing interesting or exciting in the game and everything just lacks polish or careful thought. Every mechanic and aspect of the game is either poorly done or mediocre and there's not even an interesting narrative to push the player through the already embarrassingly dull experience.

That's a problem for me.I ordered Dark Souls II (224 PLN.I hate prices for consoles).Now i have no money to buy TESV D:

TheJungleman233 you should already have TESV before DS2 though. Anyway, no need to rush, just buy TESV next time you have enough cash.

AtriasNaradan You know your lore friend. I applaud you. I love both games, but being completely honest, the Chosen Undead is but cannon fodder to the Dovahkiin. Like really, put the two in the arena and watch the Dovahkiin shout him to shreds as the Chosen Undead tries rolling to gain ground and bs. One thing is, the Chosen Undead will keep coming back which is sure to be a pain in the ass. lol Dovahkiin was made to be OP.

And he can respawn :3

Let's see the Chosen Undead kill a drago... ...Uh. Let's see the Chosen Undead break orbit. Ha. Suck it Blue.

You don't respawn in Skyrim. You load a previous save. The death never happened.

Alan2022 which means tes is for the weak

Stabbo Gaming Haha. Honestly, it is for mh... kids in my opinion. Bethesda developers refuse to anger their players so a 100% game where you can only win. Dark Souls is not that kind of game. That's why it is indeed a better experience

Ever heard of legendary? Or how bout mods? There is literally an option to download them on the home page. And TES isn't about being a huge challenge, it's an open world RPG with a whole lot of lore. I don't know much about dark souls, but I can garente it has more lore. Not to mention Skyrim was released back in 2011, and the game still isn't dead and has a very active fan base

Yeah totally agree, I never play without the brutal realism mods and survival ones to get a real rich experience. Souls just made me lose interest but due to not having enough time to dedicate to playing it, plus the lore is kinda shitty. Good fun to play but not if you have other things going on in your life haha!

Also if it were accurate the Dragonborn would've FusRoDahed that bastard with the club.

Kaminoyouni Andrew Thus dealing little to no damage and running himself out of stamina so he couldn't even block the next attack.

No. If this was truly accurate the bonfire would have died out at 3:18 and then he would have heard the *aaaaah AH!* "Doucebag McCunt has invaded!". Dovahkiin, thinking its a honorable duel gets killed in one hit by a red phantom griefer using Great Combustion while wearing all Havel's armor with a fully upgraded pyro hand and lightning katana.

Kaminoyouni Andrew Nope because in Skyrim your life can only get so high and you can only do so little damage naturally. Compared to Dark Souls everyday monsters can deal like 500 damage in one hit. Invaders can naturally backstab for thousands and can cast spells that can do over 2000 damage if you are hit point blank. Basically Dovahkiin's entire life bar every hit. Whenever Dovahkiin does a dragon shout invaders would simply roll through it like they do everything else and then backstab him in one hit. Dovahkiin wouldn't stand a chance in Lordran or Boletaria unless he cheated. Using that restoration glitch to make broken enchanted equipment at an Arcane Enchanter.

Assuming that the guy with the club guy is even invader and not just a random monster, and invader wouldn't just stand there (probably just spawn camp at the bonfire), plus you can't expect a post game DB to be a completely weak noob, as your speculation is a purely biased approach as a DS fanboy. Not to mention DB would have a vairty of Shouts post game depending on how much exploring he did, also bring with him a varity of spells and weapons he had to master, much like any invader in DS would have to.

I actually put the sound down, afraid of a jump scare xD

I honestly thought it was going to be a mimic lol

Well tf2 is clearly better than pac man....it has hats!

why is it like comparing tf2 to pac man? its more like comparing call of duty to zelda

guy farting no its like comparing a flash game with dark souls.

Backonos Back It's like comparing Dishonored to Metal Gear Solid. We can all agree on that.

You have now created another argument

at least somebody gets it xD haha :P though i love open world GTA does suck to me :P but i own every elder scroll ever made (not counting Online one) and i have both dark souls next month i plan get addons for both but id never choose play skyrim more then dark souls or dark souls more then skyrim they vary to moods sometimes i need game challange me others i need relax and wonder around world with barly any dangers xD is no real games just games that fit ur mood that day XD

Sorry but you don't play the same Skyrim as me, my Skyrim is challenging, it's more than graphics and killing NPC's, it's a living world, where people work, live, it's a world to explore, to discover a lot of things, a world where i can have companions, and they talk to me, about the things i do, about things they want to do, a world with a lore deeper than any Souls games, you people don't know, but before "Skyrim", it has "The Elder Scrolls" name on it, read the entire "The Elder Scrolls" lore, and you will see that it has an amazing story. Really, if Skyrim to you is just "killing NPC's, modding, and running around to enjoy the graphics", you didin't played the game the way it was intended, or maybe you never played it, and just came here to say bad things about it, like all Souls fans do, really, i never saw any Skyrim player saying bad things about Souls (i myself, cause i like bot of them), but go into any fórum, or stream, or anything about Souls games and mention the name "Skyrim", people will crucify you!!!

Brandon Uzumaki Lee that's your opinion. and don't judge me.. that's the way i play too.. the way you did.. but like i said.. it's not my type. And again.. it's not that HARD. if i wanna enjoy a lore i'd rather read a book. if i want to get to know the people skyrim well that's not gaming, it's basically speaking.. do you know what a GAME means? yes i know it's elder scrolls. I'm aware of that.. i mean it's a first person game,nothing special. third person sucks anyway. i play because i game.. not because of the lore.. lore shmore.. pfff..

the coolest guy evah! It was my opinion, but the way you put yours, it was like the only things Skyrim had to offer where the ones you said, it's the same with both games, there are people that concentrate on Skyrim too, that strategize they every step too, as i'm sure that there are people that play Dark Souls only to see the bosses, or to go killing everything in theyr path (even if that means having only 50% of their health availlable due to humanity loss haha)!!!

the coolest guy evah! Half health is from Dark Souls 2, it's different from Dark Souls that when you die, you lose Souls and Humanity, in Dark Souls 2 you lose Souls and a percentage of your health, up to 50%. And of course there's challenges on Skyrim, like a fucking Dragon that killed and entire vilage, and when i got to him, he just ressurected eveyone to fight me, including a Chicken and a Dog xD!!!

+Maty Navarro eh, close enough. I think its better if it was like "I was thought to be a chosen undead like you, then i took a Sunlight maggot to the face"

+Evry Mistake its like they are amateurs and did a good job with what they had

Hahaahaha thanks for making me laugh.

better gameplay? well, if we are going to compare two games "so similar" as these two, I'd say that DS gameplay sucks when it comes to sitting on chairs, building, tents, interacting with people, eating, drinking, swimming, riding dragons, building houses... well, I think you get the idea. Characters are less barebones? LOL man, Dark Souls is a masterpiece, but not because of its characters. BTW... which characters? lmao

duhmzdaih Every one of them has a deep story like they would if they were actually in such a world siegland, solair,the monk dude,big hat Logan, the sisters of chaos. Every character in skyrim was boring as hell both. All the main quest characters were 2d cutout. the guild quests were a little better but still it felt so fake because the character essentially didn't exist except when you were there

duhmzdaih Also what part of click a to sit in chair is fun gameplay. What part of look at item click a and it disappears is gameplay. When can you ride a dragon freely.

duhmzdaih And by interacting do you mean the dialogs options that do nothing and provide no depth to any of the character

P. V.C Well, Dark Souls sucks when it comes down to cooking, because... you can't. And it goes that way with the 1000 things you can do in Skyrim that you can't do in Dark Souls. So stop being a moron and don't compare an open world adventure game like Skyrim with an action/rpg like Dark Souls.

no such thing as too much darksouls!

+Al M Last time I commented about the body of a man I was gay, how about you?

+Jean Martin your names Jean are you sure you aren't still gay?

it's only gay if balls touch

His legs are white because he’s from Skyrim, a VERY iced over and cold area where there’s little sun shinning so he can’t get a tan

dude pong all the way

thats not even an rpg

Zombiek9 Do you even game?

Zombiek9 Tetris is the greatest of all RPGs! The epic adventure to challenge the God of Tetris and reach the ultimate state of TETRISHOOD!

TheTrueWolfboy it's a puzzle game not a RPG

If only I could be so grossly incascendent... __[ T]__

FoodOnCrack It is like a magnificent father.

Praise the sun with me! \ \__[ T]__/ /

Skyrim's mechanics are spamming the fuck out of summons.

blazenx56 Skyrim's mechanic's are using a brokenly op weapon that can 1 shot bosses nomatter what. Except thats almost every weapon.

ThatSneaky Neenja I admit, skyrim's gameplay mechanics are actually shit on a lot by even fans of the game like me. But does that mean dark souls is better? No. Skyrim and dark souls are both really really fun. For skyrim though, it's usually not about the weapon fighting mechanics. It's about simulating life in a fantasy world as best as it can. Skyrim is about the grind and it's really addicting. I love dark souls also, just don't shit on something just for the weapon mechanics, there's more than that.

ThatSneaky Neenja you're no fan of rpgs if you're a great fan of rpgs every one you play is great so stop comparing them

Skyrim is a poor successor to oblivion and morrowind though morrowind is usually rated the better of the two. Bethesda doesn't seem to care anymore about making their games the least bit challenging. My biggest problem with Skyrim is the mother fucking guilds. Oblivions Thieves guild vs Skyrim's thieves guild. Oblivion wins because its actually about thievery. Oblivions Dark Brotherhood vs Skyrim's. Oblivion win's by a landslide. Poor effort on bethesda's part to making the one in skyrim. Dark Souls is better in some way's but worse in other's though they aren't very similar to begin with however I was not talking about gameplay itself I was talking about combat mechanics. Skyrim's are way too simple for them to be calling it an RPG. Look at Baldur's Gate 2 and then look at the rpg's of today. The entire genre seems to have been ruined by incompetent people. (Partly the companies fault, partly the consumer's fault.)

***** The Actual Story of Skyrim: You're the dragonborn, a fabled legend of dragon kind who can devour dragon souls. You kill dragons but the dragons are only destroying the world because it is meant to be, for the birth of a new world. There's a war going on over a religious figure who may or may not have been a fraud. The war actually turns over the Thalmor wanting to escape the plane of existence and ascend into 'heavens' to become aedra so that the world that is being dreamed up is broken in awakening.

Katie Crawford Typical heroic fantasy story.

+viacon6 No better argument? Well that's sad.

***** Nope. You kindle the fire, which means the Era of Fire starts again, new kingdoms are created, but in the end- they would also fall. Leaving isn't 'bad option', it is said- then begins the Era of Men, you let the world change, maybe for better, maybe for worse. If you won't kindle it, the gods, magic, monster etc. would leave world. Or maybe it was just a lie and world would rot? There's no good and evil in dark fantasy. And Gwyn attacks you, because 'hero' doesn't have to kindle it- and Gwyn wants to protect the world, by guarding the Flame. Also, many of bosses just try to protect themeselves, the hero is that bad guy, who invades their lands.

***** Gwyn is almost dead when you defeat him, he sacrificed the rest of his soul to link the fire and extend the Age of Fire. He is not ''good'' when you fight him... Most of all bosses in Dark Souls are just dark creatures and hollows that spread around the world. I think the only ''good'' boss that you kill in the game is Sif and maybe Moonlight Butterfly

have a good day, i love dark souls multiplayer its crazy

I like them equally

***** At least dark souls HAS multiplayer -.-

***** Implying ps3 is hard to hack, you don't know shit mate.

i think they are so powerful to you, because i was level 180 powerful enough to fuck almost everyone, usually i rather use a partner to fight against powerful people, if you are weak you wont do anything to anyone, u need to have good spells with good level

¿Did you hear Dark Souls OST?

***** lets not start another conflict here, both are good games .-.

Dark Souls soundtrack makes Skyrim OST sound like a Nickelback album

VoodooPanda1 Featuring Bieber! And Nicki Minaj!

derero yolo Try Harder

ZDProletariat To be fair, the game randomly generates quests infinity. So really, the quests go on forever. I've put a crazy amount of time into Skyrim because of the community the game has. The mods are absolutely amazing.

get a life

Elder Scrolls lore > Dark Souls lore by a HUGE amount. elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline

you probably haven't even played the game to its full experience i.e beat the dragonborn main story, become harbinger of the companions, become listener for the dark brotherhood, get to level 81 (or higher) clear out every dungeon and cave (hundreds) become arch mage of the college of winterhold, become the guild master of the theves guild (and restore it to former glory) become thane of every city, own all houses, own all land (and upgrade them completely) max out vampire lord or werewolf, get every dragon priest mask, all daedric artifacts and so so much more. I bet you didnt even do a quarter of what i just stated

nobody caaaaaaaaaaares nobody cares nobody cares nobody caaaaaaaares

KaptinScuzgob AYE CAAAAARE.

KaptinScuzgob omg how old are you 4 , and what bullshit did i just watched
