Please? can we stop this nonsense? I know games industry got the bad habit of copying to death any successful idea. We got a shitload of zombie games a few years back, we got mobas everywhere, now we are getting all these battle royale game, and, as much as I hate the industry doing this, the souls-like shit is the worst one by far.
Hey, I enjoyed some souls-like too, but it's not a.. genre? it's not a genre, idk what the fuck it is, but whatever it is that's not a kind of game I enjoy playing often. The experience is slow and tiring, even if you don't die often. I finished Nioh a few months ago and I'm not nowhere close to want to play another game like that soon. But, taking my personal preferences aside, I hardly imagine a LOT of people wanting to devour a soul-like game after another, that's an extremely niche idea.
Now, be honest with me, even you, the hardcore fan who played every single motherfucking game with those clunky mechanics, aren't you getting tired of all this souls-like shit? not even a little? When a game looks attractive and I see it's a souls-like a little part of me dies.
>playing Nioh like Souls or even thinking it plays like Souls There's your problem.

nioh is an arcade action game that incorporates some of soul's mechanics. it plays nothing like souls.

>tired of a certain type of game stop playing them then

Eh Nioh is a better game IMO. Sure, you might praise the level design and shit from DS, but for me the designs, using a palette that goes beyond 3-4 colors, and the extra rpg elements make Nioh more fun.
Julian Barnes
I've tried playing all of the "souls like" games, none of them compare to a FS title. The only one I've actually enjoyed was Blasphemous and that's only sort of "souls like" ish
That's the point, the industry keeps shoving them on me face.
>people believing DS is really that unique and any other souls-game is not souls enough
It's not the same game, sure. They have enough differences, of course. But don't tell me IT'S NOTHING LIKE DS cause that's bullshit.

Soulslikes are over, move over for Strandlikes after Death Stranding.
Nicholas Anderson
This. I like Dark Souls, don’t get me wrong, I’ve beaten it a ton of times across multiple platforms but Nioh is the better game. It’s not as good as Bloodborne but it’s a step above DS.
Ryan Ortiz
That's a good example of the souls-like shit getting everywhere. They'll go and say even a metroidvania is a souls-like.
