Darkspore or DS3

[Kosmiche]

Hi I'm wanting a new hack and slash game, I see these two have recently come out.

I already own TQ+IT, Torchlight, D2, Sacred 2

So dont reccomend those to me I've played them to death. After playing the ds3 demo I am put off buying it since it was pretty by the numbers I felt and the graphics at least on my pc on max details lacked finesse imo.

Havent played darkspore, is it played a lot online? I just get the impression its not something I would play for very long in single player as it seems to lack depth.

Magicka I find is a curious oddity more than a game to spend a lot of time with, but I think I will pick that up at some point.

I think I see where this thread is going...but darkspore or ds3? Thanks.

Both have little replay value IMO, ds3 could be good online if they fixed issues with the system, but having the host save the game / characters on their machine is silly.

I hated ds3 at first, but I used my new controller with it instead of M+K and its infinitely better, darkspore works well with either and has an arena style pvp system which is also fun.

I'd say it's up to you, I personally prefer ds3, darkspore didn't hook me for long. Maybe wait till they fix the M+K though, unless you have a controller.
