[quote name='Mad dog']It's better than Skyrim I can tell you that. Awesome game, got it Day 1 and about to beat it, plan to start ng+ too. It's just like a new Castlevania. In fact, it's fun sometimes to pretend like you are playing a new Castlevania done right when you play Dark Souls.[/QUOTE]
I bought Dark Souls Day 1, put 60 hours into it in a week and beat it, loved every minute of it...but it's not even close to Skyrim. Dark Souls is a 9/10 but next to Skyrim it's a 7.5.
Of course, they're 2 entirely different games so comparing them to each other is like comparing Call of Duty to God of War.
