PushSquare:"For the few of you that aren't fed up of us bleating on about Bloodborne yet, we've got one last piece of weekend reading lined up. With the game clearly attracting newcomers to the acclaimed Souls series, we've brought together a handful of scribes who have slightly less experience with the franchise in order to share their initial impressions. Is it impenetrably hard? How many DualShock 4 controllers were maimed in the making of this article? Spoilers: we all rather like it so far."
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
I think the whole difficulty thing is blown way out of proportion. It just requires a bit of thinking and patience galore. If you go at it like a normal hack and slah you will die, at least from what I have seen.
Either people are too accustom to not needing to use their brains and need constant hand holding, or they haven't played other games which are far more difficult. I like difficult games anyway TBH, so maybe I am just biased.
Theres a pretty steep learning curve to the game though. It requires you to study your enemys and to develop strategys to defeat them. Thats one of the main reasons why i enjoy it so much because i dont feel like a brainless idiot when i defeat my foes. I only feel stupid when i die in really silly ways. Like when i swing like a maniac and forget to dodge. Its so tempting to do that especially since you gain some health back. Nice little trap that Miyazaki gave us.
Kickin my ass.........I love it
I'm a souls noob. It took me a while to get into but now I can't stop. The learning curve is steep and father Gascogne still kills me with in a sliver of his health left and I have to take a break or I'll lose it. But I'll get him tomorrow and it will feel even better than killing the clerical beast.
Only share played to see if I would be any good at it b4 purchasing lol,thrown in at the deep end, I say this cause I sucked bad at demon souls lmfao. Gonna rent after my share play experience, but my spider senses say I will end up purchasing the game after a price drop (not saying the games not worth it btw), just £50 is alot of money on something your pants at lol
