Retro Gaming: KING'S FIELD

This game was developed by the Japanese game development company From Software, and released July 21, 1995 in Japan, and February 15, 1996 in the U.S, and in March, 1997, in Europe, making it the first role-playing game for the PlayStation in the west. Since the first King's Field game was never published outside Japan, King's Field II was released as King's Field in the U.S and Europe. It has only been released for the PlayStation console.

FromSoftware is a real O.G. company in the games industry. Classy games.

Kings Field are the Demon's Souls/ Dark Souls before those games existed.

And I preferred them King's Field IV especially is my favourite game that From has ever made.

Found this one a few months back.
Was looking for some random games to try and emulate, and came across this series.
Fun, but it's obvious the developer has come a long way since then.

This game looked awesome, but was an absolute pain to play and not in a good way like demon souls. It was incredibly slow, taking an eternity between button press and the swing of the sword. I remember it starting outside near water and looking up at the stars. It was amazing. Then I came across the first enemy and it was press the button...wait...sword ssswwwwiiiiinnnnggggiiiinngggg ....missed.....press button again sword sssswwwwiiiii...........bugger this, where's Metal Gear Solid?

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

I Wish More Games Embraced FromSoft's Approach To Difficulty

Danish from eXputer: "FromSoftware's unique approach to difficulty in their games allows players to customize their own experience, which is really cool."

"Souls Like" is a literal genre.

I'd just like to point out that Rise of the Ronin which recently released is in large part a Souls Like as is the upcoming Stellar Blade. And both games have 60 FPS.

More? Like every other game in the last
5 years has “Souls” elements or difficulty. I think we need to pump the brakes a bit Jesus they don’t all the the “grind or die”/“get good” mentality.

I would advise reading the article. What you're saying is not the point we tried to make.

Yeah let’s have only souls likes 🙄
