Can we stop calling poe2 "souls like"
|
It literally is nothing like dark souls. A dodge maneuver wasn't invented by miyazaki. We don't have stamina for that dodge roll. Enemy placement isn't static. One single enemy poses no threat outside of bosses. Items aren't unique, they're random drops. Stats are much more complex.
Also souls games aren't even hard, they're the standard difficulty from the ps2/xbox/GameCube era that only got a reputation of being hard because of the ps3/360 generation movie game trend. Last bumped on Dec 23, 2024, 7:24:06 AM

Monster hunter has dodge roll waaaaaaaaaay before soul.

I mean, it's a good enough shorthand for bringing the point across.
The most recognizable element of Souls games is the focus on timing and manually evading large telegraphed hits. Let's not be pedantic here. I think everyone understands what people mean when they say it. |

Souls games are really just the happy marriage of a Falcom hack-n-slash and N64 Zelda mechanics, anyway.

" The hit souls-like monster hunter O: " Poe 1 also has a focus on timing to evade large telegraphed hits. It must be a souls-like. So does almost every game with a boss in it. All games are souls-likes Last edited by Herbeh#6842 on Dec 23, 2024, 6:40:28 AM

" Can we stop calling it aRPG? It's a 1 playthrough isometric reflex game. |

" Guys like you: I play a game that propose to me to be anything else than the loser I am in real life, and it has action. It must be an aRPG. You can't define what an aRPG is. Last edited by epiphase#4568 on Dec 23, 2024, 6:42:01 AM

" Sure I can. It's a game using RPG stats, typically popularized by DnD, with combat occurring in real time. Many games can be arpgs, but referring to an isometric arpg it typically involves using various multipliers to character stats to cut down hpardes of enemies to get an elusive shirt that gives +1 fireballs on a Tuesday during the harvest moon.

Who is calling this Souls like???
That's like calling "Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun" on the hardest difficult, a Souls like game. Only morons call any genre of hard games, Souls like. Then they might other souls like games like "QWOP", or "Getting Over It", very souls likes according to the same ppl i am thinking XD |

" It feels like every other thread having someone say "GIVE ME POE NOT DARK SOULS" or something akin to that. It's mind numbing. Second paragraph is about it lol |
