Same thing with Rogue.
Youtube red me a video recently, forget what it was about, but the guy mentioned ‘Rogue, one the first rogue-likes’ and that caught me off guard a bit.
And than there’s Demon’s Souls just sitting in the corner I guess.
That’s the price it pays for having a title that’s so clumsy to pronounce
Are you saying “Demon’s Soul”, or “Demon’s Hole”?
I’m saying Demon Souls, obviously.
You gotta pay the troll toll.
And being a ps3 exclusive, until the remake which also should have been on pc.
Isn’t the remake PS5 exclusive? Or does it play on the PS4 also?
PS5 exclusive. As I recall, it was a launch title.
Makes sense. I didn’t buy it until I got a PS5 so it was either ps5 exclusive or I thought it would kill my PS4 haha. Sounded like a jet when it was stressed.
The only way I parse that is as “Demon is Souls”, and I don’t care if it’s right or not.
Meanwhile nobody even talks about kings field, which is basically the same game but it predates thumb-sticks.
I’ve heard it described as being quite different. There’s no builds, and there’s more exploration than combat. It’s more a traditional RPG than a soulsbourne. If you’re going into looking for deep combat or learning enemy moves or behaviors you’ll be disappointed.
Well there is a three hour Majuular video about it! Can recommend
I just scrolled down to the very next comment. The world is healing.
It’s time we healed too, boys.
And Bloodbourne, trapped behind a big glass pane marked “PS4 Exclusive”
It’s technically correct. The best kind of correct!
gets out his cane
You whipper snappers don’t know or remember King’s Field.
field-like
One of these days I’m going to play that.
If you’re a fan of early first-person dungeon crawler RPGs, very much in the vein of Ultima Underworld (or maybe a Morrowind demake, with extra jank) then it might be worth taking for a spin. It has a lot of the ‘early gaming’ foibles, like having puzzles that are unfair, and killing you on a whim. The controls, mmm, give you a lot of thinking time, let’s say. It’s also derivative, “follow the leader, but on the PSX” stuff. But you can see that some love went into it.
“From magic” starts with Demon’s Souls. Don’t be expecting a bold experiment that defines a new genre with the KF games.
It’s also derivative, “follow the leader, but on the PSX” stuff.
What does this mean?
I mean that previous dungeon-crawling games in this style were mostly on the PC - that goes from your classic Dungeon Master to true 3D games like Ultima: Underworld. The King’s Field games are derivative, but are on the original Playstation, which didn’t have any other games like this.
Oh, makes sense.
It’s also derivative, “follow the leader, but on the PSX” stuff.
What does this mean?
My favorite Lovecraftian horror author is Lovecraft and my favorite death metal band is Death.
I always thought old Ben was a little too dismissive here. “Well of course I know him–” Oh, well excuse me Mr. Jedi-pants!
I mean, in logic any predicate A implies A. If we consider Souls Like to be some arbitrary subset of Dark Souls properties, then yes, Dark Souls contains them all.
But also, just because it’s a Souls game doesn’t mean it’s Souls Like, like DS3.
How is DS3 not a Souls like?
