Both games have nothing in common aside from the fact of both of them being hard.

Do you like rpgs or side scrollers more?

3d hard as hell RPG or 2d hard as hell sidescroller run n gun boss rush?

Either choice is wise, Casul. Both have rage videos as well.

It IS hard, but it dosent feel unfair.

Whoever says darksouls is not hard either 1-played the game long enough to get used to its mechanics and combat, and is oblivious enough to not realise the game was indeed hard for them when they started playing before they cleared it like 2-3 times. 2-cheated their way through the game. Or 3- Is lying.

Depends. If you're a game journalist, this game might be too hard for you.

The only times dark souls really poses a difficulty is when:

1) you just came into a new area and dont know how the enemies behave
2) you meet an enemy hiding behind an unexpected prop and destroys you out of surprise
3) you fight a boss for the first time and need to figure out the pattern

after you see the full picture (learn how the enemies behave, check corners, learn boss pattern) the game is easy. And it doesn't take too much to learn all those things.

All you do on darksouls is progress through new areas, survive enemy traps and fight new bosses as you progress. '-'

Iunno why you'd ask that in the cuphead forum where you'll get obvious bias to this game.

It depends on your preferences. Dark souls is a 3D action-rpg and cuphead has no rpg elements, it's just an old-school run n gun with arcade-ish difficulty. They also different intensities. Dark Souls has a very slow combat and let's you take good time fighting enemies (or run in at multiple enemies and get ganged up, but that's not advisable on a first playthrough), even forces backtracking on death for extra game time (die to a boss and you gotta go from the checkpoint and back to the boss), while in cuphead there's things shooting at you constantly that you have to dodge and you can not stand still, and every level and boss is ~2 minutes long with a quick retry button on death.

I have strong bias to cuphead and never really liked souls games much outside bloodbourne which improved the lackluster combat speed. They're entirely different game though. Better compare cuphead to the mega man collections that are on sale than an action rpg.

Dark Souls is hard in the sense that it's a lot of trial-and-error. You have to be patient with it.

It does, however, get aggravating when you get killed on a move you know you could have, of should have, pulled off or avoided.

Take the best of both worlds and get Salt and Sanctuary.
