DS is a much better game. 10/10. LOTF since it's free 7.5/10. Had you paid for it,7/10. I have played both. The biggest problem with LOTF is the size of your toon in comparison to the world. The devs didn't quite get the perspective correct which makes the game a little off. As has been said, DS is the gold standard for 3rd person combat games. Your toon moves extremely well. Play DS and learn to parry and roll. The learning objective is to figure out how not to get hit. It'll take awhile but if you stick with it you'll learn what a lot of players have about how much fun DS can be. You get 10 save spots for 10 different toons. Experiment with your build. Learn about "strength," "dex," "quality," magic and pyro. Weapons scale with different stats. Magic scales with "int." Miracles with "fth." Your starting class means nothing. You are left to invest your stat points anyway you want. This isn't Diablo. Finally, I recommend wikidot for info. They'll explain everything. Be prepared to die. \[+]/

    Preference. Interesting word. It's how I experienced the game. It's nearly impossible not to compare games as you play them. I had already played Demons Souls, DS, and DS2. Those games are spectacular in my opinion. I wanted LOTF to be better than it was. Little things matter. Camera angles, hit boxes, and apparently ratio of my character's size to the world. Combat in LOTF wasn't very fluid. Perhaps because I never adapted from my Souls experience and it is preference.

  • It's preference, or at least what you are used to. I first got into soulsborne style games yeaars back when I wasn't as patient or able to push through adversity as I am now. I played a bit of DeS and a bit of DaS and never finished (or probably even reached 1/3 the way through) either of them. Lords of the Fallen was the first I played to completion and I had no issues with perspective. Bloodborne I played second and it was fine also. I'm now almost finished Demon Souls and it is also fine, hopefully I can finish before Dark Souls 3 drops... though I don't think that will be hard I kinda ended up a little overpowered at least for my skill level and the past few bosses have been kinda easy xD (I didn't even particularly grind I just havn't lost any huge amounts of souls like I have in past attempts and to a lesser extent in bloodborne.. guess practice does make perfect)
