It’s no secret by now that Bloodborne is a hard game. Gamers used to checkpoints everywhere and regenerating health who are playing it for the first time might be shocked at how punishing it is.
With that said, we here at PlaySation LifeStyle wanted to talk not only about the Bloodborne difficulty hype, but super hard games in general. Is there a market for these games aside from From Software’s titles? What do we think the gaming populace thinks of these kind of gaming experiences? All these and more are discussed in the latest entry in Now Loading.
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
Challenging games definitely have their place in the pantheon.
