I know there are several of these types of threads but I could also use a bit of advice.

I'm not looking for which one is better at the moment.

I want to buy one of them during this sale and save the next one for the sale that comes afterwards.

I'm wondering which one is most likely going to be at a greater discount next sale or if they'll most likely stay the same sale price as they are now

Sorry if my wording is a bit confusing, and thanks!

Edit: Seems like most people suggest Skyrim LE so I'll probably pick that up

Side question - is Dark Souls multiplayer good at all?

I think they can give a 75% for Skyrim LE during the next sale only, so the price won't change during this sale.

Dark Souls can get a 75-80% during this sale. I'd say wait a few days more.

I don't think prices will be lower than now. If I were you, I'd buy Skyrim LE(Bought it myself and already played 10 hours in 2 days ._.)

Vanilla Dark Souls 1 is a pain to play on PC, so hopefully you wont mind to search the internets for fixes.

Dark Souls 1 is worth the pain

Dark souls will probably remain the same price discount next sale, which would be 75% off, if lucky 80% off.

Skyrim you might not get too lucky next sale, it's 75% off and 66% off for LE right now. Next sale could be 66%-75% off again but it doesn't happen all the time and could end up 50%-66% instead.

If i were you i would buy Skyrim LE, it's going to hook you up with alot of gameplay hours, plus alot of mods to use after u beat the game and explore everything. Dark souls is not good on the pc, alot of bugs and glitches, awfull control. Probably need a controller for Darksouls.

You should play both eventually, I prefer dark souls, but the pc version is lacking if you have a ps3 of x360 get it for on of those instead.
But the best thing to do would be to look at some video reviews.

Dark Souls is better but you will want to buy Skyrim first. After Dark Souls you wont be able to go back to the stale and lifeless sword combat of any other game again. I certainly cant.

The fact that you need help deciding which one to get, is enough for me to know that you'll get more out of Skyrim. You're not ready for Dark Souls, you'll probably play it once and never play it again.

Skyrim because Dark Souls has been cheaper before on Steam, I got it last year during one of the sales for about £3.74 if I'm not mistaken.

I think Skyrim is better choice. Dark Souls is almost unplayable on PC.

Both are great games, if you are into games like Monster Hunter, RaiderZ and some games like this where you have to aim and dodge almost everything then go for Dark Souls. If you like open world-FPS-rpg kind of games then go for Skyrim.

Whichever game you pick, you are going to spend lot of time on it.

Both are good. I know it's a matter of opinion, but I'd pick DS. I played Skyrim for around 120h and honestly I'm sick of it. Tried to play it again with some new quests, but uninstalled it a few hours later. With Dark Souls, on the other hand, I'm getting close to 300h and still excited to face Gwyn again and beat his flamey ass

Dark Souls has been cheaper before, but that's no guarantee it will have a daily deal.

On the other hand, this is the cheapest Skyrim has been, but it's 'non-sale' price has also been discounted dramatically since it's release, so in another year it might be cheaper still.

One bit of advice I would give: consider the non-LE version of Skyrim. It's most of the game for a fraction of the price. You might even be able to afford both if you go for that.

And, I know you didn't ask for it, but if you are looking for opinion, read the post from "Memes" below.

If you have very good PC - Dark Souls (so you won't be raging because of drops)
If you have decent PC - Skyrim (to run it on normal settings)

You will receive a ton of content just with vanilla Skyrim vs Dark Souls, and even more with Skyrim LE. Dark Souls is very linear, and you will have to do a lot of backtracking, especially when you die.

It seems like most of you suggest getting Skyrim LE - interestingly enough Dark Souls went on a greater sale, I'll probably pick up Skyrim then and wait for next sale for Dark Souls, thanks for the input everyone.

A side question (will add to main post) - Is Dark Souls multiplayer good at all?
