Nioh/2 is unironically better than every FROM's Souls game excluding maybe Sekiro.

I thought they were Polish?

>Is the Soulslike fatigue setting in for you too?
Nope, im loving it.

>Are you excited for these games at all?
Nioh2? Fuck yeah, Code Vein? It looks ok, Surge2? Probably not.

>Keep in mind that Great Rune will also most likely be the same Souls formula all over again.
I sure hope so.

Its great for me, fucking glad that we are in an age of action-rpgs that try to appeal for me, i fucking hate FPSs and Open world shit so the last 2 gens have been torturous, havent been happier since the platformer days.

>Soulslike fatigue setting in for you too?
you sound like ever faggit journalist that has no skill like the bitch playing the cuphead demo

>fatigue

I play Nioh for the crafting system and grinding, so not really.
(And Code Vein for JRPG story/characters)

I'm not going to play the western-made souls though.

Maybe it's better as an action game, but I play these games for the feeling of mystery and exploration

Soulslike MMO when?

nioh 2 will be kino with barefoot female demons'
code vein will be anime feet kino
the surge 2 is an eurojank

I share the exact same opinion. Sekiro is probably one of my satisfied game purchase ever

Better solely from an action game standpoint. The total package is still in froms hands tho.

Nah. feel free to bash endlessly like contrarian niggers, but i'm pretty happy to see Nioh 2, Code Vein, Surge 2, and whatever-the-fuck-else keeps the little genre alive. The more the merrier, I've enjoyed all the souls-likes to varying degrees, and while i've my quibbles and preferences, I appreciate the style of combat/design and enjoy what it brings.

I'll buy all 3 of OP's depicted titles day one just to support the trend because i like Souls shit better than most other style of game being produced currently.

>Are you excited for these games at all?
yes
nioh was great and nioh 2 looks to be much better
code vein demo was fun
the surge is shit though

According to wiki
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck13
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CI_Games

Lords of the Fallen was co-developed by these two companies while the Surge was made by the Germans.

I like everything about Nioh but I couldn't bother finishing it for some reason.
Looking forward to Code Vein
Zero into in Surge.

I really fucking want Code Vein and want Nioh 2 almost as much. Don't care at all for The Surge 2.

Loved the surge, so will be getting the second. Will have to play through the first though to remember the limb slicing mechanics

Snoy censors games on launch, not in pre-release betas. Trish's ass was visible in the E3 demo but once the game was out in the west the day 1 patch censored it.

These guys don't seem like poles to me.

It's janky but fun. I'd just wait for Surge 2 since it seems to be Surge 1.5 though

Kinda like how Nioh 2 is just Nioh 1.5

Maybe the code monkeys were poles I dunno

This tbqh. I'd be more hyped for Code Vein if it wasn't designed entirely around co-op, just seems lazy on Bamco's end by not having difficulty scaled for co-op.

it's not souls fatigue, these hacks and their shitty rip-offs just fucking suck

It's the same team that made God Eater IIRC and those games are all about co-op

code vein looks fun but I didn't really enjoy nioh

>Check that other thread about Code Vein. Weebfags are getting fucking thirsty over breast sliders.
code vein doesnt even have breast sliders
but nice try

>dont you hate when they release games inspired by games you like?
>like, totally uuuugghh
Immortal was fun as fuck loser.

Nioh has way better combat.

The surge felt polished and unfun for me. Had a couple interesting concepts but the game doesnt hold on its own and it gets more boring the longer I played it.

On the other hand Immortal felt yanky and cheesy, but was fun as fuck

I just wish the game performed better with the co-op partner. During the demo the performance dropped whenever an NPC joined up. Also they tended to block much of the camera, especially with all the corridors in the game.

Unpopular opinion but I had more fun with Nioh than any Souls game and I'm hyped as fuck for Nioh 2 as it's just a continuation of what made the first game great without trying to completely reinvent the entire thing.
I don't understand how Nioh 1.5 is somehow a negative thing, where did it become a rule that a sequel has to massively change things?

I wish Sekiro had more replayability. Builds are actually fucking important to keep me coming back.

I can't even begin to express how much I would love a genuinely sci-fi souls game that was actually well made and did like bloodborne with it starting with you fighting semigeneric aliens and moving to you fighting genuinely unsetellling eldritch horrors.

No fatigue because I don't play every single derivative garbage heap that comes out.
Only the actual From titles.

xDDD

Special kunoichi pocket. You know the one.

Nope, I love these kinds of games. Exploring an interesting area or throwing myself at a difficult boss until I git gud enough to defeat it is incredibly satisfying.

Explain further.

2D pixel indie soulslike is the future

I enjoy metroidvania games.
Souls is just 3d metroidvania so I don't mind it at all.

The surge 1 was garbage though how the fuck did it get a sequel.

Can't user, this is a blue Christian board. Watch the highly educational documentary called "Taimanin Asagi" for more details.

Metroidvania more like I think. And I like metroidvania. Too bad sundered was the last one I actually genuinely liked. Hopefully bloodstained is good.

Funny because its the exact opposite in reality.

FROM keeps painting the old car in new colors but the moment you touch it you recognize all the movement and renamed shit, even with Sekiro i can hear the same fucking sound effects, the same statuses, the same tiny visual and gameplay habits FROM works have. While other companies cant just repaint souls with a fresh new coat of pain since they dont have the original in their hands, they gotta build from the beginning to end, all fresh, on top of that they have to do SOMETHING to stand out from just being "another souls" game so they all have some crazy mechanic or new thing that innovates more than FROM did in their past 10 years.

Its the real reason why most copycats fail, FROM just takes the souls base and modify it just enough to be a "new experience" while it still feeling familiar and good, while the copies have to make an actual good game or the whole thing falls apart.

I don't think I can be bored of the genre. Even the indie knock offs like Salt and Sanctuary and Death's Gambit keep me entertained.

Dark Souls 2 is worse than both of those.

Nioh 2 is more complex and offers more freedom than Sekiro in almost every aspect that has to do with combat mechanics

>Sekiro
I JUST WANT TO MAKE BUILDS
I WANT REPLAYABILITY
SEKIRO OFFERS NONE OF THAT

But you're the parroting drone here.

Truly revolutionary gameplay.

You jump sometimes to be fair

yet it will be fucking shit, just like the first, too bad.

>t. mad FROMbab

same,

nioh2 alpha is fucking perfect, it's easily looking to be the most promising, has a chance of being the best soulslike of all times. The nioh2 alpha is a huge improvement compared to the nioh1 beta, so far they seemingly improved on every complaint from 1.

code vein network test was alright but didn't blow my mind like nioh2 did. It shouldn't limit the players with only being ble to use 8 abilities on quick use, I feel like that's a huge waste of potential.

great rune might be more of a Shadow of the Colossus type of game than a soulslike tho based on the rumors

why would I be mad? from soft is actually successful and unanimously praised, unlike the shitheap that is nioh

>great rune might be more of a Shadow of the Colossus type of game than a soulslike tho based on the rumors
What? According to the rumors it's just Dark Souls with riding horses in-between zones. Latest rumors say that the world isn't that huge anyway. How is it like Shadow of Colossus in any fucking way?

I'm only excited for Dark Souls 1. That flame still has yet to fade. And you know what I'm gonna play when I'm good and done with it? Dark Souls 3.

Horses, dumby

Code Vein actually felt more Dragon's Dogma to me rather than soulslike, with those blood cores replacing facations and all.
I dunno why people keep parroting the opinion that it's soulslike - even dying in CV isn't as hard as it sounds, because NPC-coop partner always rezzes you and you can pretty much efforlessly resurrect him.

They didn't even get the original Dark Souls formula right, let alone innovating it.

It's a coat, not a cape.

I enjoyed NIOH so I’m excited for 2. Never tried surge and Lords of the Falled was pretty sucky

The Surge 2 for me if they actually improved over the first game. It's the only he were you can hit the enemies in different parts of the body, which forces you to actually think in battle instead of simply mashing the buttons or starfing for the backstab.

>only played DS2, as a mage, so might as well have not played it
>ignored everything else
>will play CV and Nioh 2
I'm good.

Honestly I have the most hope for Surge 2 as it is mostly a shooting and dismemberment game and I could take bit more of that after RE2.

Just don't be too on the nose about it when making Souls-inspired game. Like pic related. Do your own thing like Code Vein and The Surge, then it's fine.

Hold the fuck up. Again with this shit? They rushed GE3 so that didn't have anything, but I thought Code Vein would at least provide proper customization.
I just want A-cup for fuck's sake.

I liked Nioh so I'm looking forward to Nioh 2
Code Vein I'm going to hold off on until there's proper gameplay videos at release so I can see if there's any actual substance to it
Surge had some fun moments building armor sets but the level design was utter fucking trash and the combat itself was pretty iffy

CV has an overall body slider that affect the tits too. The previous build of the game had bigger differences between the tit size but now you get this

CV doesn't look like that anymore. The interface is quite different and less carbon copy of Souls.

Well, that's something to just set to 0 and move on. Damn it.
I bet the jews/sony did this.

>The previous build of the game had bigger differences between the tit size
no it didnt
it's exactly the same as it was before

>soulslike
Fucking hate that word.
Surge and Lords of Fallen sucked dicks.

no the tits were bigger before

Bosses are worse
Environmets are worse
Level design is worse
Ost is worse
The only thing nioh has is the combo and stance mechanic which almost no one takes advantage of

They're polish, and they're a bunch of greedy motherfuckers
Just look at that fucking surge dlc

Fatigue?
Nioh is going to be great.
We won't get Salt and Sanctuary 2. Shame, since it was the best clone i have played so far.
The Surge and Lords of the Fallen where bad.
Dead Cells isn't anything like it.
Death Gambit wasn't that good.

Beyond that the list isn't long enough for fatigue. Most of the clones fail on offensive/defensive balance, and on exploration.

>Is the Soulslike fatigue setting in for you too?
No. Why should I get tired of such a videogame-focused formula?

>Are you excited for these games at all?
Never played the Surge so I'm not excited for The Surge 2. Nioh 2 and Code Vein? I'm super fucking excited.

>Keep in mind that Great Rune will also most likely be the same Souls formula all over again.
Great Rune is garbage because it won't be a Soulsborne-style game: it will be a boring open world "RPG" where you spend the majority of your time reading text boxes written by Game of Thrones man.

>Is the Soulslike fatigue setting in for you too?
Why would I be tired of the best videogames of this era?

>Soulslike fatigue
not really
Nioh is basically a better version of Dark Souls and Nioh 2 is basically just Nioh with more content

the other two games are absolute garbage - how could I get tired of something I wouldn't even touch with a 10ft pole?

Code Vein doesn't even have what makes the souls series so great, the level design and architecture.

All maps feel like the monster hunter maps but smaller.

I don't play Souls games for fucking architecture lmaooooo

What we got on the network test was the tutorial map and a Chalice dungeon-like area; they aren't representative of the final game as a whole. Would you judge Dark Souls 1 based entirely on the Undead Asylum?

And even then, the gameplay was fun and that's enough for me. Unlike the Soulsborne fans, I neither give a shit about "lore" or "atmosphere" or have an ejaculation looking at the ruins of a medieval castle.

I don't disagree with you user.
Half the fun of the level design in Souls is that its like that, but it repeats itself quite a lot.
So the entire map is now a interconnected spiral.

And unlike a lot of worse games, its possible to pace the map at a reasonable pace once you have enough knowledge of the layout and enough shortcuts.

Being speedrunner bait doesn't make a game inherently better than other.
The fact that being able to skip most of the levels excites you says a lot about the quality of the Souls games: you're excited of not having to play the game.

unironically agree; everything about Nioh was more enjoyable than dark souls, i cant fucking wait for a sequel.

i will try surge 2 first one was cool

underrated post

>Being speedrunner bait doesn't make a game inherently better than other.
Thats missing the point user.
One of the reason why Dark Souls is so good, is because of the map.
I mean
> its possible to pace the map at a reasonable pace once you have enough knowledge of the layout and enough shortcuts.
This is what you do as a casual. You literally visit merchants thats in isolated places, because its not a pain to go there.
In many ways its the opposite of something like Outward or any Action RPG where trainers are located on far ends of the map.

And unlike even more games, once you see something in the distance, you will go there. It just baffles the mind to such a degree you are drawn in even more.

Honestly, game is fun but "grind to progress" is even worse than Sekiro.
I strongly recommend cheat all crafting materials of your equipment level. You can't progress without it, and it just eat about 10-20 hours of gameplay

No because I havent played any of the imitator games apart from dipping my toe in Nioh, LOTF and Surge (wasnt impressed with either).

Dark devotion and SaltSanctuary proves that you are wrong

I have always seen this game as watered down DMC,NG,Bayo,etc

Oh, it's the Blasphemous developer making his hourly shill post.
Being 2D makes a game automatically different from a Souls-like.

Nioh 2 has a chest slider, all other soulskikes BTFO

And Code Vein is exactly like that, except there is no vidya architecture at all.
