Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

I'm just mad at this point. This looks pretty much like Bloodborne 2 in terms of aesthetics. Not only did neither Sony nor FS even acknowledge its 10th anniversary, but they also release a game that's so similar to it that you could pass it off as BB2. I'm just pissed man. Plus gating it behind a new console is just annoying

TBF, Bloodborne is an exclusive title. And this is exactly what Miyazaki did when Sony wouldn’t let him make Demon’s Souls 2: he went and made Dark Souls which is pretty much a sequel.

In the case of BB, it's been confirmed several times over, though, that it's not really up to Sony what happens to the franchise but rather Miyazaki himself. At least they've told that they wouldn't touch Bloodborne unless Miyazaki is involved in some form. Not sure what's keeping him from it seeing as he likes the game a lot
