Since both games are around the same price range in Steam, was hoping to get K/tards opinion on which game should I get?

1. Do I need to play part I and II in order to understand III?
2. What's the main difference between Dark Souls III and The Witcher 3?

dark soul 3 too hard for me
witcher 3 too complex and dull for me

Witcher 3 have a clearer story, I play Dark Souls 2 had no idea whats going on, just hack and slash away

Buy both, no need to play so don't bother thinking which one has this and that... if you 30 min one each game than it's a bonus..

Care to elaborate further?

How is Dark Soul 3 hard? Aren't you able to choose level of difficulty?

Witcher 3 too complex and dull in what way?

Really?? But from what I read in the reviews, they say Dark Souls' story line is one of the best ever created. In fact they even rate Dark Souls as game of the decade.

Go for witcher if u want story and piap2. But the gameplay is also great.

DS3 if u like challenging game. A lot of secrets and u gotta have patience.

The story in dark souls series is very deep and dark. So very hard to understand for certain ppl.

Thank you. Finally a helpful comment.
So you're saying DS3 is more like exploring secret path to advance to the next level kind? And it's challenging because it's hard to find those secret path?


You don't like the Witcher series because the game involves with a lot of casting spells kind?

Hmmmm...so I'm guessing I would need to play DS I & II before I play III right?

If u ask me who is the MC of dark souls, why he can respawn, why he can absorb souls, what is the world setting in Dark Souls.....I have no idea, lol, or i simply cannot remmber
Witcher, well i still remember they are from Kaer Morhen, they are unwanted orphans who went thru tough training and excruciating and deadly mutation to enhance their bodies to be able to fight monsters, and Geralt was killed by peasants and somehow got revived and since then is fighting the Wild Hunt

if u wan story, go for witcher 3. including the expansions too (veli good). not really need witcher 1 and 2, but if you played before you'll appreciate it more (cause some old character cameo cumbak to witcher 3). tips: play alchemy build, you'becum op neva die.

dark souls games is like for die-hard try again reward thing. if this is your thing, you can go for it.

people don't play dark souls for the story, they play it for the difficulty & combat. story is almost non-existent.

- witcher 3 will gib u lots of story & quests. damn even the side-quests is rich and full of backstory.
- it has TWO FULL LENGTH EXPANSIONS!
- the combat doesn't seem to appeal to everyone though as it is easier than Dark Souls. i myself think it's fine.
- has arguably one of the best mini-games in recent times which is a card game called Gwent. fans love Gwent so much that a standalone game is coming soon at the end of this year!
- it's got feels, humor, gore & boobs. (if this makes you uncomfortable you'd be better off playing Minecraft)
- did i mention about Gwent?

witcher 3

at least its a game you can actually finish

Depends on u, if u like story u shud play the prev series. But if u never played any DS series u will be struggling for few hours/days just to survive. And do buy gamepad to play DS.

There's a reason why the tag line is called "prepare to die"
You will die, over and over and over and over until you git gud.
My total playtime for DS3 around 70 hours. But got coop multiplayer so can play with frens.
DS1,2 and 3 don't have direct storyline. all standalone.

Witcher 3 also one of the best RPG came out this decade.
Not your conventional Tolkien-esque medieval fantasy.
mostly based on scandinavian folklore so quite different than most.
total playtime for me around 100+ hours.
Also can play without playing witcher 1 or 2, and the books, but it's more fun if you do.

The souls series stories are abit "deep", and in the souls series there's no such thing as level difficulty. Is there a bloody level difficulty? As far as I can remember you enter the game shits ady hard yo. Gameplay is mostly about timing and how to attack.

With Witchar the story is nice, gameplay well don't know how to comment on it. But the quest is amazing.

dark soul 3 is like old arcade game, need to try and die many time to learn the way defeat the boss.

witcher 3 has superb story, graphic, quest, character dialogue and boobsssss
