I'm between Skyward Sword and Skyrim
the only problem is that one of those I probably won't be able to play till the end of the year.
Honestly I have very thoroughly enjoyed the new LoZ title. It's much more than I expected in very good ways. I almost skipped fighting game night to keep playing it and did end up late because of it.
I was able to play about an hour worth of Skyrim but even with that I liked what I saw of it and already have two characters I plan on playing through.
Right now I'd have to go with the pleasant surprise of goodness, Skyward Sword. However once I am able to obtain a copy of Skyrim that may change.
Arkham City by far.
Dark Souls for runner up.
Skyrim doesn't even factor. Dark souls pretty much ruined this game for me. Who cares how much content or quests a game has if the gameplay is terrible? I mean, don't get mad guys, but in Dark souls the skill of the player is more of a factor than the level of the player. You can pretty much beat the game with a soul level of 1 if you are skilled enough. In skyrim, All that matters is how much experience you have to be able to take and dish damage to enemies. It's basically a one player mmo. Dark souls is much more challenging.
Oh, and the Dragons in Skyrim are about as powerful as the common baby dragons in Dark Souls.
well if you are looking for such a challenge then that's what you prefer. Because I play fighting games all the challenges I need are my human opponents. For me single player games are about the adventure and story. If I want challenge I look to my fellow humans.
Skyrim is a great big adventure that I'm more than willing to enjoy.

What? 😆 the gameplay in Skyrim is terrible? what skill? how much skill do I need in Dark souls to put my indestructable shield on and spam crystal soulmass? nothing, I can get through any part of the game without having any threat of being harmed. Dark souls is no more challenging than any scripted and predictable action game. It was a good game dont get me wrong, completed it many times but trying to claim that experiance cannot make you godly in Dark souls is lulzy.
common baby dragons? what ones? I dont think any common enemy in dark souls is comparable to a Skyrim dragon, not that you have probably fought many to be able to compare.
Between Portal 2 and Uncharted 3 for me. I might have bumped Skyrim into the mix, unfortunately I got it on the PS3 (laaaaaaaaaaaaaaag) and I like playing in 3rd person view, and for some reason my character no longer has a ****ing head. On top of that like Fallout, the game freezes and crashes all the time but at least I haven't encountered any game breaking bugs... although my characters is only level 25 though, so I guess there is still time. Skyrim is a ton of fun but with the massive amount of bugs and glitches I just can't bring myself to justify it being a GOTY contender.
I NEVER said it couldn't make you godly, but it takes a long time to gain that much experience. And the average player will be challenged getting to that level. Skyrim is casual filth in comparison to dark souls. Lol there is no damn indestructible shield and you'll die faster than a slug in a bag of salt if you tried that strategy with any undead soldier let alone any invading black phantom.
There is damn near nothing to skyrims combat other than having a high enough level. You basically just spam magic or run up to and Wack away at an enemy in a hilariously unrealistic depiction of a sword fight. Yes I'm angry because I fell for the hype and wasted 60 bucks.Unlike dark souls where even if you don't have the highest stats or the best weapons you can still kill anything with enough patience and precise timing. In skyrim, a mace and a sword might as well be the same weapon, unlike dark souls where there are dozens of unique weapons that have different damage and magical effects and play much differently.
The hellkite draken is at least five times bigger than most dragons in skyrim and the hydra suboss has seven heads each bigger than any dragon in skyrim period. I've seen giants kill the weakling dragons in skyrim.
You see bt, unlike you, I don't hate my life. I play games for the entertainment and the challenge. Dark souls is a game that focuses on the gameplay, not silly features like marriage or buying houses or boring endless search and retrieve missions or other things that are meant to make the player feel like a special little snowflake, those games are for folk like you.
I play games because of gameplay , not for a virtual reality
