Never bring that up do ya? 2 minutes ago, BigBossBalrog said: You're the one coming to us acting all tough just because you beat a single mini boss (that kicked your ass hard enough you just have to say how good your are), and thought you needed to brag about it, while it should be enough in itself is beating a tough enemy and being rewarded for it You seem to think I was bragging, I said that just so you wouldn't tell me to git gud and beat them. Or tell me to git gud and beat them without cheese. I know for a fact you would have said something had I not mentioned that. 2 minutes ago, ColonelKillaBee said: *the dark calls* Fear not the dark my friend.

BigBossBalrog Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 A conversion with Doc and Colonel made me realize an underplayed aspect that I think elevates Souls games from great to something truly special/unique. It's the survival horror aspects. If you look at it closely, the games have alot in common with the PS2 horror classics of old in terms of actual gameplay and not just lore/monster designs/atmosphere. Restricted movement that has realistic weight and speed with it. Very limited resources that you have to be careful about (managing your Estrus supply and healing items especially) careful enemy placement (barring Dark Souls 2) Fighting with the Camera (though it's far less of an issue then old Playstation horror games ) the option to simply run through enemies rather then waste resources on them, monsters/enemies, especially bosses, are merciless and designed to kill the player without pause. Even the level design, being so interconnected and intricate, confusing but with countless amounts of secrets, is very PS2-esque. The games mechanics help emphasis the horror so much. And then you get the actual atmosphere and artistic direction which is always Gothic, and horror. I think Souls games are the closest we'll get horror RPG's (Bloodborne being a straight up horror game), and honestly, i'm perfectly fine with that They would still be great action RPG's, but I think all the horror elements just make them so much better. And I think it's a damn shame they aren't attributed to the horror genre more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 How many times do I have to tell you, Shinobi Samurai warrior ninjas didn’t wear black and they can’t grow mustaches! 2 It's always nice when your writing gets reinforced by the canon after you come up with it.

BigBossBalrog Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Though strictly speaking it was considered very unmanly/unproper for a Samurai man to not have a groomed Hige (it's a blanket term for facial hair) Those gross neckbeards are for peasents.

The Good Doctor Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Look at that guy. Are you telling me he’d be able to sneak up on someone in the dark? I mean, maybe if he’s sneaking up on a White Walker... It's always nice when your writing gets reinforced by the canon after you come up with it.

BigBossBalrog Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Sekiro does away with alot of false stereotypes, my favorite one dispelled being that Samurai disliked ranged weapons. Not only did they use bow and arrows alot, they fucking loved guns. LOVED THEM. Their was no "Ranged weapons are a cowards weapon" nonsense that the media eats up. Infact 16th centuary Japanese firearms were better then their European counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
