Assuming you're referring to Demon's Souls? There is no difference between Demon's Souls (DeS) and Dark Souls (DkS) based upon your verbiage I quoted above.

My opinion is that DkS is better because the devs did address some of the monotonous issues from DeS...however, the issues addressed are not part of your first quote in this response. The devs took out a dual Tendency system and also revamped and made better the weapon/armor upgrade system...or more correctly, made it easier to get items to upgrade.

I get better life out of "long games" on the PC, where I spend more time.....the console and I have grown distant over the years.....I don't play a ton of long-duration games on the consoles anymore. Borderlands, GTA, games that take awhile to finish...PC.
No, not 640x480 4:3 resolution(s). The res complaints stem from some in the PC community vomiting in their mouths when they learned that super high resolutions were not going to be available and that the game was locked to 30fps. The display is no worse than the PS3 display of the game. But this game is not Skyrim pretty anyway (BTW, I personally found Skyrim dreadfully boring but that is because I was exposed and loved DeS/DkS). Being pretty is not the charm of the DkS game. The charm of DkS is the game mechanics, unique design and very unique online component. It can end up being very fun and that is where DkS shines.
Since you didn't seem to get very far with DeS, you never really got to the meat of the game. To me, it seems that the single player part of the game was training for the multiplayer part where it can get very fun and very tough trying to defeat live people, not AI.
