Streamer Finishes All 7 FromSoftware Soulslike Games in a Row Without Taking Damage or Leveling Up

A streamer completed seven FromSoftware Soulslike games in sequence without taking a hit or leveling up.

"...known as Nico, who completed Demon’s Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Elden Ring in sequence"

Those games aren't Soulslike. WTAF?

Words have meanings.

[Duke19]

What a thing to get upset over

[thorstein]

Are you sure you meant to respond to me? The only angry person on this thread is Isarai. He's always having a go at someone for no reason at all.

But if you were, "huh?" =/= "angry." It's text, people misread tone all the time. No biggie.

[isarai]

Literally every single one of those games is a definitive soulslike

[thorstein]

TF are you talking about? Words have meanings.

They're literally not. Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne are all Souls games, there is nothing "like" about them. They're literally the OG souls games that other games are "like."

[xHeavYx]

@thorstein What am I picturing you on the floor throwing a tantrum? Chill dude.

[thorstein]

@Heavy, I don't picture you at all. Lulz.

Isarai is always having a go at someone. I guess I'm his latest target? I guess that makes me special.

If you described him that way it would make sense.

But in the future, just assume that anything you read from me is with a smile on my face relaxing with a drink and watching hockey.

Like my first comment, just me smiling, smh, and saying what the fuck at some journo who doesn't know what "like" means.

[adamwparker]

You are correct in the Dark Souls games being "OG" Souls games, but those games with many other similar and copycat games birthed a new genre called "Soulslike" games, which even though the OG Dark Souls games were before the term, are now also in that genre.

If a game creates a genre, it is also in that genre.

[thorstein]

No. Doom is not doomlike, Rogue is not Roguelike, and Demon's Souls is not soulslike.

"Like" is congruent, or similar to not "equal" or "is." Now smile because it's not that serious.

[gleepot]

That's incorrect. The souls games did not create the genre of soulslike, they are souls games. Games that mimic these games are what spawned the genre of "soulslike", as they are like souls games. Dark Souls is not a soulslike.

[gleepot]

I'm not sure why you're getting down-voted or disagreed with so hard, as you are correct. A "like" implies that it derives from something, and soulslike is a sub-genre. Souls games cannot occupy a sub-genre that was derived from it, haha.

[jsiddlehfx]

Missing the point. Example: Super Metroid and Castlevania SOTN birthed the genre Metroidvania...
They are still metroidvania games. I believe the confusion is because the genre has the word "like" in the naming. If the genre were dubbed "Souls-Style" instead, I bet this conversation wouldn't even be a thing. I bet everyone would agree that the original Dark Souls Trilogy could be classified as "Souls-Style"

[MajorLazer]

You are absolutely correct.

[Relientk77]

How do you kill that which has no life

[mudakoshaka]

Haha, rewatched that episode yesterday for like the 10th time.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Then there’s me with a copy of Sekiro that I will never finish….

[Lexreborn2]

I like leveling up to much to not use it. Stat boosting makes me happy

[Smellsforfree]

I love articles like this that talk on and on and on about something and never link to it. Fuckers. This site sucks for promoting garbage.

[MrDead]

Yeah well, I finished every Monkey Island game without losing a life.

[franwex]

It was a matter of time!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

And then there's me who Couldn't even complete the tutorial in Demon's Souls so I never touched another game by From Software, lol

[thorstein]

"You will die" is the original tagline. If you beat the opening boss, there is a reward. However, they completely expected you to die so the story would continue.
