Scoring Demon Souls a 9 and DA a 5, and faulting DA mainly on it's generic content is fucking hilarious to me.
Not saying Demon Souls is a bad game. It isn't. However everything about it is generic. It's penalty systems are ripped off from archaic MMROPG's. It attempts to dress up "gold" by using a "soul" system. It's completely trial and error based, and offers less complexity, customization and variety than Dragonage does. It's story is the definition of played out, Someone awakened a sleeping demon, now a scary death fog is taking over the land and now soul devouring demons are destroying everything.
Lets be serious here for a moment. Demon Souls and Dragonage are different games, but they are similar enough to point out that EDGE is clearly out of their fucking minds. Personally I would give Dragonage an 8.5 and Demon Souls a 7, but to give one a 9, and the other a fucking 5 is ludicrous.
