Tell me about Dark Souls

I got Dragon's Dogma recently. It's fantastic. And it really made me want to get more games like it. Dark Souls was mentioned in some Dragon's Dogma reviews. It's the first thing I'm looking at. How is it compared to Dragon's Dogma(what are the differences, similarities, pros, cons...)? And could you also properly explain to me the online interactions, which I am also very interested in? Like from an everyday player's viewpoint, not from a reviewer's?

Never played Dragons Dogma but Dark Souls is in my top 3 games this gen. Online - basically pvp (you can invade someone else's game and battle them to take their souls and humanity, or they can invade yours). and co op, you can summon another player to help you beat a boss, or leave a summon sign to help someone else and collect souls if you both beat the boss). great game buy it.

I still don't get the Dark Souls/ Dragon's Dogma comparisons. They're both set in a medieval fantasy environment in third person. That's really where the similarities end.

I tried to like Dark Souls and Demon Souls but it just wasn't working out. Many adore and love the game but, I found Dragon Dogma to be the better of the two games. You may play Dark Souls and love it or you may hate it. Dragon's Dogma is the Dark Souls game I wanted to play.

Just curious, but do you say that because of the difficulty level or are there other factors?

Difficulty? The Dark series more tedious than difficult. This tedium and cheap death tactics is not something I particularly favor. Dragon's Dogma (Dark Arisen expansion only) fell victim to another cheap tactic with its illogically difficult enemies and bad AI.

I really suck at Dark Souls, but I feel like if I was better at it, it would be more fun.
