IGN: "A game only gets to make one first impression – and with me, Bloodborne blew it."
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."
Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne
"Sony is missing out on a hugely profitable opportunity by ignoring fan demands for a Bloodborne remaster and PC port," says Ahmed from eXputer.
Bloodborne came out on the PS4. It is owned by From Software. What missed opportunity? I am sure the people at From Software know what they are doing. Especially since they are hiring devs instead of laying them off.
Maybe do an article about that instead of writing a hit piece on them acting like they don't know how to run their business.
It will be a launch title on PS6 just like the remake of Demon's Souls for PS5 launch
"So I did, for about 12 hours… and I hated it. After beating the Cleric Beast boss, I have no interest in going back for more. This is the story of why."
It took you 12 hours to beat the Cleric Beast? Well... There is your problem.
Cleric Beast is tough, but like all Souls games, no matter what the computer forces you to think, take it slow. Never dive in without thinking.
I think I speak for the entire Souls community when I say "Git Gud". Demon's Souls was a pain in the ass on my first playthrough but I kept at it and the game turned out to be my favorite Souls game in terms of gameplay.
If you want to play a From Software game that's more your play-style try Dark Souls II. It's their easiest game by far. If a game isn't your cup of tea then it's not for you, simple as that. There's no need to sugarcoat a salty experience.
Wow - seems like you dont even need to know how to play games to become a gaming journalist. Sad state gaming "journalism" is in right now.
