Sony buying Kadokawa so they can dismantle From Software feels like karma. Well, a king can't rule forever, what goes around comes around and I feel no regrets about helping kill a genre I didn't even play in the first place.

>>695224074
It's most likely true though. Souls games are accessible in that there isn't much to figure out when it comes to player options. The difficulty comes from the enemies. It's not a good thing though, souls combat is primitive and boring, but it is easy to get into so it's popular.

>>695224824
Souls combat is primitive in the sense that there's not many core mechanics related to actor states or physics like in other action games, there's no stuff like wallsticks, focus on verticality or juggles, but unlike most other action games it squeezes everything out of what "little" it has, plus it's a formula meant for ARPGs so it's playing a completely different game for pure action.
There's plenty of action games that are just as barren if not way more, see something like Killer is Dead, Oneechanbara or No More Heroes, or games like most DMC or NG where you have a plethora of "options" which are really just flavour and enemies just don't have what it takes to contextualize most of them so the game ends up feeling shallow on the other end.
The problem is that like all genres there's very few games who hit that satisfying balance of having a lot of options and having all of them being meaningful and relevant in one way or another, and in the case of the rare games where they do, like Malicious, you have other issues such as the game being too short or on in a format that is not as attractive to the casual player.

I pirated a tendie copy and have been playing this for a week
The actual "gameplay" is mindless slop as you use your slopla to battle hoards of other slopla (no pvp even if i did have online and online is pve)
but the cool thing is that you don't have to build a slopla you can build something cool
The translation is ass though if you want to understand some skills/abilities, they are poorly translated.

it's a roleplaying game, so the role you play is actually more reflective on you. (You) are a cuck with a tiny, boring moveset, which is why you need character action games to give you a neat flow chart to develop your moveset for you, and why you need "animation canceling" to get more moves out for free. you're a pussy, and you like pussy games.

which one button was that? L1 to block, L1 to block with perfect timing, L2 to parry, L2 to quickstep, L2 to bloodhound step, R1 or L1 to cast vanishing, Cross to jump, or Circle to dodge roll (light/medium/heavy options available) ? bear in mind of course i can have several or only one of these options at my disposal at any given time depending on the build i chose for the present engagement

>>695216419
his first point is correct. the player character is fucking boring and all the effort goes into making the enemies "cool". this is strictly worse than good games like ninja gaiden where both are cool.
he's wrong about souls games being less repetitive. they're more repetitive. i know people who make a greatshield build in every game. hold block, wait, swing. you can do that in every game from demon's souls to elden ring. absolutely nothing in any of these games ever expects more from the player than the patience to let the enemy do its attack. it's 5 seconds of game repeated over 15 years.

It's a roleplaying game. If the character you're playing ends up boring it's because (You) are boring and need a clear flowchart and grading system to adjust your behavior to be more "stylish." Ratlike.

Ninja Gayden is irrelevant, Team Ninja is a hack developer, and their only good game is a soulslike knockoff.
