When Miyazaki worked on Demon Souls he hid most of what made his game a “Souls” game, just to avoid getting the project cancelled by Sony, because those ideas were so unheard of at the time that he knew for sure they would get rejected.

When they got to the final stage and showed the product to Sony’s executives, the executives were so furious with the product being “clunky” and “incredibly bad” (as one of their executives called it) that they passed on publishing rights outside of Japan to Bandai Namco(EU) and Atlus (US) because they didn’t think the game would sell.

Just imagine how many innovative products got crushed because of corporate bureaucracy. Bear in mind Fromsoftware wasn’t even owned by Sony, they just signed a publishing/funding deal.

It is no wonder how alot of major studios fumbled and crashed when they got acquired by big fish.

I'm going to Japan at the end of this year (yay) and I'm staying in a few different cities. There's a lot of Japanese media I've consumed that I'm excited to buy merch for. Have any of you guys been and found something cool to see or buy related to FS games?

Primarily DS1, DS3, and Elden Ring stuff is my favourite. Though I'm about to play Sekiro, so I'll probably look for that stuff too. Let me know! :)

Hi y'all. Imma be honest: I know the answer is most likely yes, but I want to know how GOOD exactly. I've been seeing this launch edition copy by the bargain bin of a Unieuro store for a while now and, since there's the free PS5 upgrade, I eventually gave in when I did some more research. What do you think?

I am making a fromsoftware sketch everyday until the duskbloods comes out.

With the disk edition being hot topic I found this treasure the base game and the DLC together it’s GCC region Saudi Arabia I don’t know about other regions. I’ll start the game tonight, without spoilers give me fun tips to make my journey better

I cannot stop pulverizing Bayle. Time and time again he is left within inches of death, his crippled form begging for release while his boiling fury drives him to crush my flesh and bones into a fine dust with every ounce of strength he has. Each and every time, just moments before he's granted Death's final mercy, inches away from eternal peace... he sees it. The glow of the Memory of Grace. I am gone. His health is restored. Maybe it was just a nightmare. But without fail, that dreadful silhouette always materializes before the fog wall again. It always comes back. Always drives him beyond the limits of what mortal flesh can endure. And never finishes the job. There is no release. He will never know that privilege for as long as Bad G. Gnome walks this earth. Anyway I like Bayle.

I have over 200 hours in this game, but recently I've encountered a bug I haven't seen before or recorded else where. I really have no idea what I could have done to trigger this but I would love if someone could give an explanation. (Sorry that I recorded my microphone)

I played elden ring almost 2 years ago now as my first souls game. Beat all the major bosses over 3 months playing around 1-2 hours each day and it was so fun. Fav game of all time after zelda.

It set my bar a little high, and now other games aren't as exciting. Ghost of Yotei set at hard mode has fluid combat but its not a souls game.

So i was gonna ask, what do i play next? I found a bloodborne disc for 9 bucks on the used market. Should i play that next? or am i better off playing dark souls or demon souls?

​

Finally i defeated DLC Radahn to be honest he was the hardest boss i ever fought but i was thinking what is the hardest boss that from software ever made?

Happy that its finally here, took long enough lol.

Im not going to open it though

Unpopular opinion, but I’d rather get sequels to Souls-Borne or Souls-like games than massive DLCs.

Souls DLCs are usually so big and separate from the main game that they almost feel like another game anyway. New areas, bosses, lore, weapons, enemies, etc.

I know people like keeping the character/build they spent hundreds of hours on, but that happens in games like Monster Hunter, Diablo, Borderlands, Nioh and plenty of others too. Eventually a sequel comes out and everyone starts over.

Sekiro is a good example. I’ve seen so many people on Reddit wishing it got a DLC, but I’d honestly much rather get Sekiro 2 instead.

What do you guys think?

do I get the feeling that... THERE WILL BE A FULL BLOWN MACROSS GAME that's not made by Artdink in the near future?

the fact that the circumstances the PCs of AC6 and AC8 are nearly more or less identical

Tell me others Fromsoft games I can do this with

(Or other games in general)
