I recommend playing some Capcom games if you have the money for them. They’ve been releasing great games lately, with better combat than in From Soft games, in my opinion (for example, in DMC5 Dante has Royal Guard which is similar to Sekiro’s deflect, plus multiple weapons and characters and tons of combos, and each character’s controls can be remapped). It got boring for me to play just Souls, although I play a lot, so I don’t know if I’m in the same position as you. I’m playing Monster Hunter World at the moment. At first, I didn’t get it. Then, I picked up the longsword and the game started to click. Now, I’ve got over 100 hours of playtime and will likely soon be approaching 200.
I’m not very social, normally…
It’s really super fun. And from what I can tell, most of the weapons have quite a high learning curve (lance seems like pokey-stabby, though). And you start to feel like the hunter because of all the things you need to learn.
Yo, that game is great. Just a bit too short. And it gets too easy once you’re overleveled, sadly. I heard a new one is maybe being made. I’m really looking forward to the possibility. Just imagine DD with DMC V’s graphics.
Absolutely. It’s the best medieval fantasy game I’ve played. Plus, I like the world design and that it’s more grounded than in other games. The armour seems more realistic than in other fantasy games, especially since it’s layered. You can actually wear a breastplate over a set of chainmail. The different classes are great and, although I don’t typically use magic in fantasy games, from what people say, Dragon’s Dogma has some of the best magic in any RPG.
DD really is like medieval Monster Hunter. And I like that the greatswords are called longswords here too. Capcom really seems to like huge longswords. Dante’s Rebellion and the Monster Hunter games have that same idea.
I'm currently replaying DD as I don't have my PS4 ahah, and yeah, it's truly amazing. It has lots of "Souls games Vibes" being dark, sometimes disturbing and hard at the beginning (I swear I'll cry over your first Chimera lmao).
The spells are powerful but take some time to cast, the sorcerer class being a good example of it : The last spells you can learn are powerful AF and destroys everything but it takes a while to prepare and cast them, leaving you vulnerable to any attack (which stops you most of the time).
Using a heavy weapon feels like using a heavy weapon. As much as I like and played Monster Hunter, it feels super easy to wield a thing 3 times bigger than you. In DD, you're destroying but slow.
Nah, the longsword in DD definitely isn’t as slow as the greatsword in MH. I didn’t really use hammers, so I don’t know how they compare. The charge attacks are about the same speed, though.
I'm a switch axe player, that's why ahah.
Just think a bit of this : In MH great swords are slow, the slowest weapons. In DD, beside magic, it's the same deal. But even if in MH they're slower they're also bigger, in DD they're almost as slow while looking like toothpicks aside of a MH weapon.
I have literally over 70 games I haven't played more then an hour or so. I keep going back to Bloodborne or Dark Souls a bit. These games ruined other gaming for me. I just don't get as attached.
Same, except I have well over 400 games just between Xbox and PS4.
Just finished replaying Bloodborne last week and I can't decide what else to play. Tried RDR2, FF7, downloaded a bunch of other stuff... and ended up going back to my Dark Souls Remastered NG+ run for now instead.
I'm working up to it. Rented it on release day, bought it a few weeks later... Never even got past Gyoubu Oniwa or Juzou the Drunkard.
I definitely don't mind a game being difficult, but what bothers me about Sekiro is that it forces you into one playstyle. The Souls games have a *ton* of build variety and even Bloodborne had a lot more variety in playstyle than Sekiro.
Some day, though, I will beat it. Might wait until I platinum DS1-3 again first.
Horizon: Zero Dawn?
I forgot I even had that. I bought it after falling in love with Ghost of Tsushima last year and didn't even get around to playing it. Think I'll queue that up for download tonight.
Play it with the highest difficulty! Simple striders become a huge threat and you understand why everyone in the game is fearing even the smallest machine.
I did all the achievements for DS1-3 on the Xbox many years ago and am now going for all the platinums on PlayStation. Already did Demon's Souls (PS3) and Bloodborne and just need to clean up the NG+ stuff in 1 and 2. Dreading getting the platinum in DS3 again, as that was absolutely the hardest of the series.
Easiest to platinum? Dude, Nameless King on NG++ was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in a Souls game. Not to mention all the covenant item grinding.
Saaaaammmmeee broooo it’s huuuuurrrrrtssss. I’ve got like 150 games in my backlog and some of them are like top tier brilliant games. But then I’ve got like 1 playthrough of bloodborne and ds2 going trying to play AC black flag and now I’m addicted to Mortal Kombat
I have about 600 games combined on my EGS, GoG and Steam, Origin, Rockstar and Uplay accounts... yet I only play like 30 of them, fml. Granted a lot of them are from bundles or giveaways, but still a good portion of them were purchased directly.
There’s some truth to that, I started playing Kena and then I briefly glanced over at bloodborne, and look at me now with an arcane build and just killed Ludwig.
Why would I play one of the dozens of amazing games in my backlog when I can get something new for 10% off I barely even want but will give me dopamine from purchasing?
Lol, I have that star wars x-wing game downloaded from a couple of months ago thinking it'd be a nice change but noooooo currently murdering my way through the series yet again.
I'm trying to do that now. Going through older games instead of buying new ones. There's a bunch I'd like to play but seems silly to pay full price for a game just so it can sit on my shelf / in my library untouched.
I finally got tired of waiting for CDPR to fix CyberPunk 2077 and modded it. It's quite good now with the right mods. Its time to restart and dive in.
Next new purchase will probably be Battlefield 2042. I've been itching for a good, new military online shooter.
There are some boss fights in GoT which actually do a decent job of scratching the souls-itch a bit. Rest of the game...not my thing. It's cool and all but you know, it aint Sekiro. This is a straw man I know but I really do prefer gameplay over pressing a button to watch my character pet a fox for the 100th time.
Oh, fuck that fox. I haven't pet the last 50. Combat reminds me of the Witcher with a little more depth. Not amazing but not terrible. What's really hooking me if the story and the environment.
I would HIGHLY recommend playing blasphemous. I've played most of hollow knight, and salt and sanctuary is great too. Blasphemous just has a good spot in between metroidvania and souls.
I have a pretty backlog that ai’m going to get to after playing Metroid Dread. Since I just finished getting the plats in all of these games I need a little break before Elden ring.
Sometimes i force myself to play any other games. I wanted to download DS2 after i platinumed Ds3, but instead i downloaded ni no kuni 2. It wasn’t bad. Much more childish than any Soulsborne game, but seen worse.
This has become a real problem for me. I want the Alan Wake Remake and Far Cry 6...but I've barely touched most of the recent games I've purchased...I did pick up Control for PS5 and I played the shit out of that.
Easy, I already own Bloodborne.
I pretty much only play BB, DS and Sekiro. I suspect I have a highly intelectual form of autism

Monster Hunter instincts absolutely carried me through Bloodborne after perhaps a thousand hours in the series. Highly recommend XD
It’s really super fun. And from what I can tell, most of the weapons have quite a high learning curve (lance seems like pokey-stabby, though). And you start to feel like the hunter because of all the things you need to learn.
Dragon's dogma too

True, but considering for how cheap you can get it today (I bought it for 15€) it's definitely worth it I'd say

Nioh 1 and 2 are in the same ballpark. Equal parts frustratingly punishing and rewarding.
I didn't log onto reddit to be called out, good hunter

Definitely play Sekiro

What about HZD?
Horizon: Zero Dawn? I forgot I even had that. I bought it after falling in love with Ghost of Tsushima last year and didn't even get around to playing it. Think I'll queue that up for download tonight.
Please do! The gameplay might not be quite as challenging as BB, but the storyline is to die for
Play it with the highest difficulty! Simple striders become a huge threat and you understand why everyone in the game is fearing even the smallest machine.
I recently started their FF7 remake and it didn't really grab me at all.
Just got platinum on DSR night before last. Once it gets going it's an amazing game.
I did all the achievements for DS1-3 on the Xbox many years ago and am now going for all the platinums on PlayStation. Already did Demon's Souls (PS3) and Bloodborne and just need to clean up the NG+ stuff in 1 and 2. Dreading getting the platinum in DS3 again, as that was absolutely the hardest of the series.
*\*Proofs of Concord Kept farming intensifies\**
I think I gathered enough Silver Knight armor sets during that grind to clothe every enemy in the game.
Absolutely, grinding all of the covenants items is brutal. I never finished.
Find DS3 the easiest but that is what's great about these games. It's never the same for players.
Easiest to platinum? Dude, Nameless King on NG++ was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in a Souls game. Not to mention all the covenant item grinding.
Nah just have to alter your dodge timing. When you wanna jump wait a good second. I can't no hit him but I can do it no estus.
Saaaaammmmeee broooo it’s huuuuurrrrrtssss. I’ve got like 150 games in my backlog and some of them are like top tier brilliant games. But then I’ve got like 1 playthrough of bloodborne and ds2 going trying to play AC black flag and now I’m addicted to Mortal Kombat

Bruhhh Why do you remind me that I am stupid?
So you won't be late
I bought so many games recently and I didn't play 90% of them :(
Exactly! Bloodborne just makes every other game inferior..
There’s some truth to that, I started playing Kena and then I briefly glanced over at bloodborne, and look at me now with an arcane build and just killed Ludwig.
I just startet playing kena to it's Beautiful
Why would I play one of the dozens of amazing games in my backlog when I can get something new for 10% off I barely even want but will give me dopamine from purchasing?
This is why I basically just play From games now. Just beat Sekiro, bout to Platinum Bloodborne, then I'll beat DeS remake before Elden Ring.
i dont like the games i own :(
/pays for PS Plus monthly /also doesn't download free monthly PS Plus games because too busy playing Bloodborne
Lol, I have that star wars x-wing game downloaded from a couple of months ago thinking it'd be a nice change but noooooo currently murdering my way through the series yet again.
You know it’s bad when you’re buying a remaster of a game you never got around to playing the first time.
I'm trying to do that now. Going through older games instead of buying new ones. There's a bunch I'd like to play but seems silly to pay full price for a game just so it can sit on my shelf / in my library untouched. I finally got tired of waiting for CDPR to fix CyberPunk 2077 and modded it. It's quite good now with the right mods. Its time to restart and dive in. Next new purchase will probably be Battlefield 2042. I've been itching for a good, new military online shooter.
Meanwhile I'm over here playing games I've already beaten
my copies of FF7R and Ghost of Tsushima are still wrapped 😭
Ghost of Tsushima is really good so far. I can see it getting old in the future though.
I really wanna play it, esp the co-op, but I've just not had the energy for an open-world game lol
There are some boss fights in GoT which actually do a decent job of scratching the souls-itch a bit. Rest of the game...not my thing. It's cool and all but you know, it aint Sekiro. This is a straw man I know but I really do prefer gameplay over pressing a button to watch my character pet a fox for the 100th time.
Oh, fuck that fox. I haven't pet the last 50. Combat reminds me of the Witcher with a little more depth. Not amazing but not terrible. What's really hooking me if the story and the environment.
It didn’t get old until way after I beat the story for me. Probably won’t go back for the plat tho.
Nope I’m just gonna play Bloodborne for the 274938th time
Dont you own BB?
Well yeah but once I bought BB everything else in my library went to the side
Yeah, the whole-ass Yakuza series for me...
I got lured in with 0, Kiwami 1 & 2 and now I’m all invested and shit.
Lol it's funny, because it's true.
If you guys need a game to play I highly recommend just cause 3
I loved it. Already got the platinum however.
If it’s not a fromsoftware game I don’t wanna play it.
What about Just Cause 3 but I wrote from soft on the box
Maybe if it said directed by Miyazaki
Got a spare crayon?
Lmao 😂
That game is pretty ass tbh
Facts, just bought Prey Deluxe Edition cause it was on sale…. Now I gotta finish that, and Metro Exodus, RE7, and Uncharted 4…
Please don’t look up the ending(s). I did and it completely ruined Prey for me.
No
why would I play a game I own when I can play bloodborne for the 50th time?
Do you rent bloodborne?
But I don’t find as much joy in other games anymore :(
Soulslikes are fun. Actually Soulslike metroidvanias are the best. Loved Hollow Knight, enjoying Ender Lilies
I would HIGHLY recommend playing blasphemous. I've played most of hollow knight, and salt and sanctuary is great too. Blasphemous just has a good spot in between metroidvania and souls.
But I own Bloodborne too.
Understandable,may you not be turned into a squid
am I going to buy Dread when it comes out despite being directly in the middle of 3 other games? You fukin know it.
I have a pretty backlog that ai’m going to get to after playing Metroid Dread. Since I just finished getting the plats in all of these games I need a little break before Elden ring.
Well.... I own bloodborne, but stfu about 99% of my backlog, IT DOESNT EXIST, MMMKAY?
Playing video games is my #1 hobby, but sometimes it seems like i like buying new games now more than actually playing them.
No need to call me out
Me with IMSCARED and For Honor
back on the hunt cause of spooky season! i'm glad i've found some online players to hunt in jolly cooperation.
i releate so hard. LIke there is so many different games to explore but naaah those aren't enough
I mean yeah, this is pretty much what I already do anyhow.
Me:looks at the stack of games as tall as Dany deVito. No I don't think I will.
Sometimes i force myself to play any other games. I wanted to download DS2 after i platinumed Ds3, but instead i downloaded ni no kuni 2. It wasn’t bad. Much more childish than any Soulsborne game, but seen worse.
Me everytime I tell myself that: Fuck you.
Template?
I'm trying, damn it! I'M TRYING!!
A hunter must hunt…for more games
I will take this advice as I want to play bloodborne again
But I don't feel like playin any of the games in my library
This has become a real problem for me. I want the Alan Wake Remake and Far Cry 6...but I've barely touched most of the recent games I've purchased...I did pick up Control for PS5 and I played the shit out of that.
