@Tyrant156: Yeah I have played both(Demon Souls being a game I bought a ps3 for) and loved the level design of Dark Souls. Having a hub world makes everything easier, but certainly not better. Mabye @Tyrant156 found the world design of Dark Souls overwhelming and confusing. For a first time player I can see how the overall design could lead to some headaches.
@Pyrosa: Playing any shooter on PS3 was terrible with the R2 and L2 buttons. That alone made me get an Xbox 360 over a PS3 back in the day. The playstation controllers have always been too small and not ergonomic enough to be comfortable for longer play sessions. The PS3 joysticks were also far too tall. Unlike you, however, I did not like the OG Xbox controller. It always felt too bulky to me. The Xbox 360 really nailed their controller though.
