    I saw the trailer for demons souls and I just bought it. I loved it so much, hands down one of my favorites. Since then I’ve bought every souls game and I binge them hard putting in hundreds of hours. They’re top shelf. I don’t get the hate.

      Agreed, it’s easily one of my favorite series. I can’t believe how much Bloodborne I played during the covid lockdown. I had multiple runs going with different friend combinations, not to mention the amount of time spent in chalice dungeons. I should play Bloodborne again…

        Bloodborne is the only one I think I haven’t played. I had a PS3, no PS since. Played most the souls and elden ring on PC.

        Really hoping for a remaster or an emulator at this point. I’d hate to buy a used PS4 only for a single game lol.

          I absolutely think they should remaster it or something for steam. It’s probably my favorite game they’ve made, I’d buy it again full price no problem. It’s crazy how much time I put into that game

            I’ve been holding my breath haha. After all, they did demons souls. Just not on PC yet.

              I’ve seen rumors that demons souls is coming, but who knows if those leaks are true or not. Fingers crossed

                Same, but I have that on PS3 already so I’ve played it. I have nothing that can play bloodborne :(

      Some of the fans give the impression that the game is cruel. Despite Miyazaki’s outright abuse kink as a design influence, nearly every From game offers so many tools for selecting a difficulty level you prefer, but it asks that you reflect on why you’re failing, engage with the game on its own terms, and be deliberate about your choices as a player. Some of the players have a crass or dishonest relationship with that carefully tunable difficulty, and they say “git gud”, even though the only interesting thing to say is how you personally did that, and the emotional moments and insights you may have gained along the way.

      The main exception is Sekiro, which seems to have chosen to prioritise forcing you to mind meld with the protagonist in gameplay terms as a way of subjecting you to the emotions and themes of the story. It’s the one I’m having the most trouble getting into, but even having bounced off it twice I can already taste how amazing victory would be.
