Because it's challenging.

Also, don't confuse unforgiving for unfair.

Some writer put up an article as to why Dark Souls will be better than Skyrim. Trolls can apparently get jobs too.
 
Yea I saw that on NG4.
Most of the artcles there are "top 10 bla", "why bla is better than bla" it's an easy way for crappy websites to garner hits.

Because everything else that comes out is far too easy, even on the hardest difficulties. More games need to punish you unrelentingly for your boneheaded mistakes, which is exactly what Demons Souls does. The game is fair but extremely unforgiving, the way it should be.

that IGN article comparing DS to Skyrim is crap. It's so blatantly biased, it makes your head shake.

What game is "better" is purely subjective, and DS and Skyrim are entirely different kinds of RPGs; it's really unfair to compare the 2.

I know I will be playing Skyrim day one. DS.....I'm still not sure. I really didn't like Demon Souls, but that doesn't make it a bad game.......just not my cup of tea.

Yea they really are two different types of games. They're more different than they are alike.

That's the point son. They need filler when nothing of substance is to be had. So generate hits by aggravating people with opinionate crap best suited for a blog or forum. Compare the amount of comments there to a sister article and it's sitting with about ten to twenty times the amount of comments. It being posted here and probably, all of us clicking the link is just perpetuating what it's aimed to do.

Which hopefully means they'll run more of them so we can, again, discuss how dumb they are.
 
Can't spell IGNorence without IGN...

I'll be getting Skyrim at launch, Dark Souls after it goes down to 30. I want both games... one I just want more than the other...
 
Voice Cast Announced

Skyrim will feature an ensemble cast of Academy Award nominees, including Christopher Plummer (“The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,” “The Insider”), Max Von Sydow (“The Exorcist,” “Minority Report”), and Joan Allen (“The Contender,” “The Bourne Ultimatum”).

Christopher Plummer, a two-time Emmy Award winner, two-time Tony Award winner and Academy Award nominee, takes on the role of Arngeir, a powerful Greybeard elder. An order of philosopher monks who are masters of the Way of the Voice, the Greybeards live in silent isolation atop Skyrim’s largest mountain.

Academy Award nominee, Max Von Sydow, stars as Esbern, a chronicler and agent of the Blades who has survived in hiding. Long obsessed with the foretold return of the dragon Alduin, the World Eater, Esbern will teach you how to confront this epic evil.

Tony Award winner and three-time Academy Award nominee, Joan Allen, will be making her videogame debut as Delphine, one of the last remaining members of the Blades – an ancient warrior society once sworn to protect the Emperor. Like you, Delphine is trying to unravel the mystery of the dragons’ return.

In addition, iconic actress and singer, Lynda Carter (“Wonder Woman”), voices Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, one of the Nord heroes who overthrew the dragons in ancient times.

Skyrim’s cast also includes:

Michael Hogan (“Battlestar Galactica”), who plays Imperial General Tullius, in charge of crushing the Stormcloak rebellion.
Vladimir Kulich (“The 13th Warrior,” “Smoking Aces”) portrays Hogan’s nemesis Ulfric Stormcloak, Jarl of Windhelm and charismatic leader of the Stormcloaks, who aims to make Skyrim independent of the Empire.
Claudia Christian (“Babylon 5”) joins the cast as Legate Rikke, General Tullius’s chief lieutenant, a loyal Imperial officer as well as a Nord who firmly believes Skyrim must remain part of the Empire.
Diane Louise Salinger (“Carnivale”), Renee Victor (“Weeds”), and Saturday Night Live-alum George Coe (“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”) round out the star-studded cast of more than 70 different voice actors delivering over 60,000 lines of dialogue.

Bethesda has assembled an impressive cast and with more than 70 voice actors doing voice-work, I'm sure it'll have a wider variety of different voices as opposed to Oblivion.
 
Traded my copy of Dead Island for this yesterday, also just read the new GameInformer article on it. So pumped!

You're right. I think though that it does do damage to their reputation and every time one of those articles comes up a small number of people change their default site for checking game news to one of the other leading ones. Not that I dislike IGN, I just feel some of the recent stuff is getting opinionated there.
 
any new pics in that article??

oh, I know that Skyrim will be heavily influenced by Nordic culture. But, what are the chances that Skyrim will have katana-like swords?

if I recall, Oblivion had a few, right?

are katana-like blades in other ES games?
