Rage or Dark Souls?

The game isn't tougher, it's just slower

The game is simplistic remember and repeat gameplay. You progress slowly waiting for whatever bad guy to come up, you learn his opening, then you kill him.

I mean the game itself is broken where you can't even pause during boss battles, that's not an added feature but a problem that the always on connectivity clashes with pausing during those particular battles.

The game is a memory game with some quick time events all wrapped around a very dated and broken design.

Memory game with some quick time events all wrapped around a very dated and broken design..? What? How is the design broken at all? It's a back to roots kinda rpg. The fact that it is merciless, headache inducing, and meticulous adds to the thrill. I fail to see how there is ANYTHING wrong with its design to the extent that it's 'broken and dated.' Seems the only thing you were able to cherry pick was the fact that you cannot pause. Minor annoyance at best for most. The game is filled with a multitude of creatures, having to learn their weaknesses and take advantage of them isn't always simple. Some enemies roll quickly, or throw sudden swipes which requires precise timing.Trial and error is present, but so is skill.Making such generalizations about the combat could EASILY apply to hundreds of other games out today. Perhaps it's not your type of game, that's alright, but your absolute hate and senseless bashing is a joke.

I meant 'back to roots' in the sense that the game is unforgiving.. As several arcade games were. Back to roots RPG was simply misstated.. Everything he said was not correct, because it was no more than subjective distaste. If you find it to be just a "slow block and swing game", then that is your opinion. To others, that is a harsh narrow-minded overstatement and poor generalization of the game's combat.

Well this is a thread about opinions.

Literally no interest in Rage so getting Dark Souls.

I'm the opposite to you i have no interest in Dark Souls so getting Rage.

Dark Souls, Rage looks pretty awesome (it was even cooler to see it on the show Breaking Bad) but it doesn't look interesting enough for me to pick it up right after it comes out.

Rage when the price drops!

i had demon souls on ps3 and hated it. ill go with rage.

Personally I feel they are two very different games and can't directly be compared for your dollar. That said... the RPG fan in me screams Dark SoulsMikeSchaffnit
