It's when they take a game that you would have loved when younger, but it's too hard/time consuming for you now and so you get bitter about not really enjoying it as much as others.mistercrayon wrote:What is souls like? Campfires?

Ah yes, forgot it was only PS4 so far. I don't think it's ridiculous in terms of difficulty. Certainly a good challenge, of course, but summoning is always an option. I found the bosses to be perfectly pitched in terms of complexity and harshness - probably my favourite examples in all these games.Facewon wrote:Appreciate a lot about ninja gaiden, but fuck me could I not deal with the combat.

Perhaps it's the lack of hand-holding and direction, the tough bosses, or the atmosphere of mystery. But it's all quite tenuous. There's nothing about it that's very obviously Souls-inspired.Moot_Geeza wrote:Why is Titan Souls referred to as a Souls influenced title? I remember seeing it in reviews and it's on the Wiki entry. Is it because the guardians can be tackled in any order (and it has 'Souls' in the title)?

Really though, this is probably the real answer. It's 'Soulslike' in that they wanted the name to sound like Dark Souls and cash in on some of the hype going round at the time.acemuzzy wrote:The clue's in the name lads, this isn't hard

Dark Souls 2 and 3 are both on sale atm for around that. I still prefer the first one, but they're both well worth playing. 3 has the advantage of current gen visuals.nick_md wrote:What's the best souls game to try for someone cheap who doesn't want to spend much more than a tenner? Ps4

There's also Bloodborne at £16, and it sometimes gets reduced further. I'd take that over either of the Souls sequels. It forces you to play more aggressively and simplifies some of the RPG stuff.
I would think so. It's very Souls-inspired, but in 2D that makes for something more like a typical Metroidvania. Maybe post-Hollow Knight it would seem a little less impressive, but it's still got plenty going for it.Moot_Geeza wrote:Is Salt and Sanctuary worth a go in 2020?
Yeah, I'd probably lean towards 3 for the better level design and visuals. Unless you can stretch to Bloodborne.nick_md wrote:Nice, 2 is sub £10 and 3 is a fraction over.
