Thread: What to do?! GoW3 or Dark Souls?

  1. #1

    Default What to do?! GoW3 or Dark Souls?

    Damnit I cannot make up my mind.
    On the one hand I love the Gears of War series, especially the local co op, and now they've added local MP servers!

    And on the other hand I am a arpg junkie and love a good challenging game and Dark Souls really looks great.

    I can't make up my mind, anyone have any suggestions and experience with one or both of these titles that can maybe help out a bit and maybe give some feedback to help me make up my mind?

    Thanks. G

    Personally, I'd pick Gears of War 3.

    No doubt Dark Souls is an intense challenge, but GoW 3 is simply going to be way more fun. It's the conclusion to the trilogy, there are some epic plot twists and character story arcs are (mostly) brought to a conclusion. It has some great multiplayer modes too. Just be prepared to spent some extra dosh on DLC over the months.

    Dark Souls on the other hand; prepare to die and be frustrated - a lot.

    Thanks James that really helped alot.

    Ye I also think GoW 3 would be the better choice for now, maybe I'll get Dark Souls later when I have geldjies again.
    My only gripe with GoW is as you said the DLC... . I'm not really into paying extra cash for maps or so.

    But ye I'm not totally decided yet but GoW looks to be the one, for now atleast.

    Thanks

    Another for GOW. Busy with the campaign and it is awesome! Looking forward to some MP.

    Dark souls will just get your blood pressure up. Stupid game.

    Dark Souls without a doubt. If you want value for money it is the obvious choice. Yeah it's hard as hell, but it's also really rewarding and really addictive.
