Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Dark Souls and Skyrim aren't even remotely close to the same type of game to begin with. The comparison is lame.

[–]Stomo 0 points1 point ago

Skyrim focuses more on role-playing while Dark Souls focuses more on being a challenge or whatever you want to call it. Basically, they're very different like dharh said.

Your opinion makes no sense. To me it's like you're saying Dark Souls will kill you brutally if you like playing Skyrim. It doesn't talk about the challenge or the learning curve. And aside from this being reposted a million times over, please, tell me what exactly your opinion is.

[–]Faffel -1 points0 points ago

That's exactly it, actually. Dark Souls WILL kill you brutally if you like playing Skyrim.

I think its commenting on the difficulty levels. Skyrim was retardedly easy, haven't played Dark Souls, but many hardcore gamers have told me its fairly challenging.

[–]Thorse 3 points4 points ago

I have both, and DS is INCREDIBLY difficult, in that rewarding Battletoads speeder bike level when you were 8 way. That being said, this doesn't come off in the comic at all. How does the protagonist from DS killing the Dovahkiin equate into DS being harder when if anything in DS you are WEAKER and Dovahkiin is significantly stronger than everything around him.

What exactly is your opinion?

This would have been funny if it was funny.
