Dark Souls or Kingdom Of Amalur?

I haven't played dark souls but I loved Kingdoms of Amalur. It has combat similar to the fable games except with much more depth and weapon choice. It has a relatively solid loot system with many different types of weapons and enchantments on those weapons. The quests aren't great but there are a lot of them and the world is huge. The story is meh but the game itself is great.

Dark Souls. JOLLY CO-OPERATION.

It's bad port for sure, which is easily fixed by mods.

You have to understand why it is so bad. FromSoft is japanese developer. PC market in Japan is non-existent outside visual novels.

Both good games imo. Depends if you want real freaking hard, or a typical action rpg. Both games look good. Real hard to compare the two though, since they are nothing alike.

both good,

if you're looking for a challenge and a change of pace from your everyday rpg: go 'dark souls'

if you're looking for more of the same, but done well: go 'kingdoms of amalur'

(TBH, Dark Souls is amazing to me and has ruined almost every other RPG i play, the only two exceptions being 'witcher 2' and 'divinity 2 DKS')

Dark Souls

Those games are not very similar, but DS is so much better game. (althrough you have to use community DSfix and Mouse patch imho, all should be explained on steam community)

Dark Souls every day and twice on Sunday...

If you would like to play them both, then by all means start with KoA; if you do the opposite and start with DS, you'll likely end up hating the shallow combat system of the EA title.

To be fair, KoA is not that bad, it's a competent action title, but it's really easy (i think ther's a mod that can help with that) and after a while feels like a drag, both combat-wise and story-wise... like someone already said, it seems a bit "MMO-ish", not in the good way.

Dark Souls!

I'd say both I really enjoyed both of them, but if u must choose one I'd recommend Dark Souls as it's one of the best RPG I've ever played.

KOA has a great storyline, at least the main one. Also the guilds are pretty interesting. Dark souls is the worst PC port on the world and you need some mods to make it work like a normal game. And without gamepad its unplayable

Dark Souls, one has not truly lived until they have praised the sun!

Brah. Do you even praise the sun?

As far as I'm concerned, there are two types of people in the world: those who play Dark Souls and those who don't. KoA is fun, but like others have stated, you quickly loose interest in it after a while. For both games I recommend a controller.

Edit: For anyone who doesn't think Dark Souls has a good story hasn't paid attention. The game is a lot like Half-Life in the sense that you have to look for the story.

Both are good games. I have Dark Souls on PC and KOA on my PS3. But I must say, Dark Souls is the one I like more.

Also use the DSFix and DSMFix if you dont have a controller/dont want to use one! Its a life saver and it makes the game playable with KB+M.

Dark Souls
I didn't play such a good game for years.
