I wont be the last to say this: Demon's Souls is by far the better game. The story is no where near as deep or involving as DAO's is (mostly because there's little story to speak of), but it makes up for that in a very immersive atmosphere that really pulls you in. The graphics are better, the environments are better, and the best part... The gameplay is freakin' amazing. Also, if you're interested in MP you should know that DAO has none. DS on the other hand has a great co-op and PvP feature set that can make or break your success in the game. Its an awesome game, and no PS3 owning RPG fan should be without it.

I preferred Dragon Age: Origins, mainly because I loved the story and characters, but also because I didn't have the patience for Demon's Souls. If you can put up with dying repeatedly and enjoy it, go with DS. I'd say go with DA though. Just personal preference.

i found dragon age completely boring the battles are simi auto where hitting X make the main player keep swing his weapon and the cool down rate on some skills take so long its near useless and the story is generic fantasy but demons souls is a tad overrated the difficulty isn't as bad as many make it and the story is small but the gameplay is fun at times i guess demon souls is better buy because its cheaper and has better gameplay

I agree. DAO was boring. The story wasn't that great at all, and the combat was no fun for me. And the difficulty in DS is extremely overrated. All it takes is some patience and observing your enemies attack patterns and you'll do just fine.

Demon souls is definitely by far the better and most challenging game. And when I say challenging, literally i mean CHALLENGING. dragon age origins isnt bad though.

Just depends on what you are looking for, If you love characters and a good story then DA is the way to go nobodys gets you involved with story and the surrounding world like bioware does, If your looking for more of a combat driven game with a high difficulty then DS is the way to go, but don't expect a story thats not its strong point.

I prefer Demon Souls much more than Dragon Age, though Demon Souls takes some patience until you get the hang of it/get a higher level.

I would definitely go with Demon's Souls. It's soooo much more rewarding!

the vanilla Dragon Age: Origins is already a much more accomplished RPG than Demon's Souls, and if you get the ultimate edition, it will be far and away the better package.
