I want to be excited for it, but Demons Souls is very overrated IMO. That said they are fixing some of Demons Souls issues and it already sounds much more interesting and better. The same goes for Skyrim actually, and I still need to play the Witcher.

Maybe against Skyrim (not sure yet), but it will see huge competition from The Witcher 2.

The Witcher 2 will be the definitive RPG. Course I'm hoping for a perfect 10 but RPGs have too many problems to ever score that.

Looks good. Demons Souls is better though in terms of atmosphere. This is too cheery.

Both Dark Souls and Witcher 2 are two of my top RPGs this year. I'll probably get Skyrim eventually, but Bethesda games tend to bore me.

it'll beat skyrim, but that isn't accomplishing much :P

And no It won't be better than the witcher 2.

I reeeally wanted to like demons souls, but I just couldn't get into it. It was a great game for people who like that sort of game though.

It's not going to be better than the Witcher 2. No doubt it will be a good game, but not a better.

Dark Souls is going to have to be a massive step up from Demon's Souls to blow those two away. Don't get me wrong, I love DS, but that's a bold statement to say the least.

It'll definitely kill Skyrim, but The Witcher 2 might be a stretch. Irregardless the game looks amazing and I want it as soon as possible. :P

Demon's Souls is one of the few JRPGs I like.....because it's more western than it is East. It appeals to my taste more. Can't wait for the Dark Souls.

Agreed. I think I'll end up liking Dark Souls more seeing as Demon's Souls is one of my favorite games, but The Witcher 2 certainly has a chance to beat it.

Choices and consequences? Yeah Demon's Souls had those, more than any RPG I've seen this gen. They just weren't clear cut conversation options, but rather actions. There's a great backstory to it all but the main story matches the atmosphere better if it sticks to revealing very little. You just have to think about it and talk to everyone to piece it together. So no, it has all those things.

If it's being made by a Japanese developer, then it's a JRPG. So they aren't showing anyone how to make a WRPG.

The Witcher is extremely overrated and mediocre. Dark Souls is made by a competent developer, it will be much better. Don't know about SKyrim tbh

How is it mediocre? One of the few WRPGs to not fall into the current trend of being a dumb down RPG. (also wasn't black or white when it came to the choices)

I was talking about the straight up hermits earlier in the thread. I know plenty of PC gamers have consoles here, like the guy posted above you and the guy with the Goku avatar.

Terrible combat, mediocre animations, bad writting, pointless stat leveling up and ugly graphics
