I think DaS beats DeS on every level except maybe ambiance. I must say that, to its credit, Demon's Soul has more ambiance than DaS. Environment is darker and overall scarier and divided in different sections/levels. Enemies are creative but there's no continuity between them, wich makes them look like a bunch of random monsters thrown at you. Surely some of them fit in the environment (Lava insects in the underground fiery mines, Knights in the Boletaria castle ecc.), but others seems just random creatures that the developers wanted to put there (Skeletons in the Shrine of Storms and the Vanguard to make an example). DaS doesn't have that feel because it's an open world and doesn't need to make creatures related to each other, but still does for the most part. But still, DeS will give you jumpscares if you don't pay attention to your surroundings.

I was invaded veeeery ralely in DeS, and I played it something like 3 months ago before leaving it forever LOL. As for tanking, no, you'll get kicked so hard you won't be able to stand for weeks. Go for speed builds, they always help.
