Felix pretty much said everything I was going to. Overall, I prefer Dark Souls over Demon's Souls. It is just so much better in pretty much every way... except for the whole online thing. If one of the reasons you enjoy Demon's Souls is due to co-oping with friends, you will be pretty disappointed in Dark Souls. Apparently the multiplayer aspect in Demon's Souls was actually not intended, so they changed it in Dark Souls. It's still possible to do it, but not without serious determination. Last time I did co-op with one of my friends on Dark Souls, it took almost an hour and a half of constantly recasting the soapstone sign until he finally saw it on his screen and was able to summon me. Was terrible. But aside from that, Dark Souls is an amazing game. Great open world, very fun boss battles, great armor and weapon designs, and honestly it just feels like it has the better overall story, too.
