So it's a slow time for games (for me... I don't like the Devil May Cry series) and I want a new game. I'm torn between Dark Messiah and Lost Odyssey, and am wondering what you think is the smarter buy. On the one hand, I am not a big fan of JRPGs, but on the other I love a good story and prefer long, deep games. Then again, I love stealth, so part of me wants to check out Dark Messiah just because there's a stealth option. Then again the DM demo didn't really wow me like the PC demo did years ago.

So what's your opinion? Which game is the safe bet?

Lost Odyssey for me; even if you don't like JRPG's its definately worth a try. I don't know much about Dark Messiah, so don't ask me questions about that :)

Dark Messiah doesn't impress me. Lost Odyssey looks amazing though. I guess we will have to wait one more week to find out.

Pick Lost Odissey if u like rpg's, if don't, you will be bored in a few hours...

Dark Messiah is a medieval Fps, and not a good one,

Have u tried Mass Effect? It's (little)rpg + good shooting

Well, I'm not a big fan of turn based RPGs, so I would go with Dark Messiah. But only if it's similiar to Oblivion, with the open world and all. If it's a linear game, go with Lost Odyssey. I didn't play the PC version of Dark Messiah as you can tell.
