GR:
The Souls games are often thrown around as a key source of inspiration, but a few games have tried to copy them to such a degree that the inspiration has almost reached a point of saturation. Thus, games like Necropolis still feel fresh and exciting because they take that Souls formula and transition it to different environments with various mechanical tweaks. Necropolis uses procedurally-generated content and weapon variety to help create its own identity while still establishing a sense of familiarity for action-RPG fans. It is one of the best games at PAX Prime this year.
Backlog Critic: "Necropolis is a huge disappointment in my book. It is a game that received so much praise and hype before it was even released that it could only fall flat on its face. The fundamental core game design failures make this game feel too much like a bad rip off of Dark Souls, however, if you are planning on playing this with friends you are going to get an abundance of more content and enjoyment out of this title."
My last paycheck was $2500 for working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 8k for months now and she works about 30 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do >> http://bit.ly/2C5JZ3f
Carlos writes "2016 has been a great year for gaming, with hundreds of titles making their way to the Xbox One, including the arrival of some of our most anticipated titles yet. But whilst no game is perfect, there are unfortunately several games this year that didn’t live up to expectations, ultimately leaving fans disappointed.
So, with the year’s final releases now out the door, we take a look back at 5 of the most disappointing Xbox One games of 2016 – and one honourable mention."
Not sure why these are listed as "xbox games" since they are all multi platform.. but yeah these are pretty bad.
These games were a disappointment no matter where you played them
7 Days to Die, Battleborn Homefront: The Revolution, Mighty Number 9 ,Necropolis ,Trials of the Blood Dragon
Edward from WGTC writes "One of these games successfully copies the risk-reward dichotomy that sits at the heart of Dark Souls while the others largely miss the mark. Can you guess which is successful? Read on to find out."
Only ever played DSIII but would love to get around to the other ones at some point
The only one I haven't played is ds iii. The article gets it wrong. Bloodborne is the best overall. Best story (by far), best art design and music. Best level design. Best combat (single player). Dark souls 1 and 2 are best at pvp.
I've played all Souls games including Demons...But I don't have Ps4 yet :'(
Needs bloodborne
^^
If I was actually presenting a fact, which I wasn't I would have pointed to reviews which would show bloodborne as the best reviewed and most awarded souls game.
I find it odd you would say I presented opinion as fact when I merely challenged the reviewer for doing exactly that. He even goes as far as to tell people to 'buy a 360' to play dark souls. sounds fishy when PlayStation is actually the only place where you can play all of these titles and there's no advantage to the 360 version according to DF. No wonder his quote-unquote opinion is so one dimensional.

Exaclty my thoughts as well. Why advice anyone to get the console that doesnt have the best From software games- Demon's souls and Bloodborne? Weird...?
Edit:
Now that i think about it is From soft and Sony crazy? Why on Gods green Earth we dont have a Demons Souls and DS1 remasters double pack on ps4 yet?
Bloodborne have absolutely shit build variety. DS3 is basically Bloodborne meets Darksouls, the best of both worlds.
@UltraNova
Yah From is weird like that. Lol.
@Bolts
Yah. Souls games have great variety in builds but after three games (DeS, DaS I & II) everyone knows how the game breaks wide open with the bait tactics and or ranged weapons. Bloodborne is less varied but more nuanced and forces you to be more dynamic with enemies. I find it scarier and more fun to actually engage them face to face.

I never cared for Lords of The Fallen. Bloodborne is probably a better game than any of the DS games IMO.
Yeah me too I couldnt convince my self to complete it. Something felt wrong and incomplete...
Lords of the fallen is a bad game, I'm only playing it because its free on PS Plus
ToF is basically an abortion of a game. Everything about it is either half assed or incomplete.
Don't forget Nioh. I think between Bloodborne and Nioh the ps4 is looking pretty sweet to any true Souls fans out there.
