"Now that the Dark Souls 3 hype is building, I thought it would be a good time to hit all of you with a cool fan theory about."
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
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
Although the creator denies it, I still think there is a possibility.
"Dark Souls is a type of game that is intentionally vague, and allows the player to create their own story with the evidence provided. Your story won't be like that of anyone else, and it probably shouldn't be."
This is by far the stupidest description I read for Dark Souls. Everyone's story in Dark souls is the same, you don't create your own story...the story is already set in stone through the item descriptions.
The evidence provided are not substantial enough to be taken seriously...its more speculation than evidence. It n interesting though but unlikely. Plus we already have confirmation from miazaki thats it not connected
Interesting.
I wouldn't mind Demon Souls and Dark Souls to share a world even if it meant they were in parallel worlds or something but I think Bloodborne should be kept separate as it's own thing.
However you could say Bloodborne is a parallel world where the Blood replaced Souls.
Another theory is that you have Demon Souls as the first game and then the timeline splits into two where things acted out differently. One timeline which continued to use Souls and the other where Blood replaced them, this would explain where one series of games kept the Soul name in the title and the other used Blood.
Don't think it was mentioned here but the watch dog of the old Lords in Bloodborne looks identical to the Dog guarding the entrance to Irithyll of the Boreal Valley in Dark Souls 3.
Dark Souls and Bloodborne are Connected, and ondly enough, it seems like Bloodborne happened after Dark Souls 3 at least mainly due to the inclusion of the Black Hand Armor Set and Marvelous Chester in Dark Souls 2

"Attire of hunters known as the King's Black Hands. A black cape covers leather armor, shrouding the wearer in darkness.
Black Hand was the title established to honor hunters who served successive generations of kings. To date, no more than three such individuals have borne this distinction."
The Three Hunters they are talking about most likely are Father Gascoigne, Gehrman and "the player"
