I don't think I care about this guys journey through all the souls games but he did make me wonder which of these souls games was the most brutal. I think demon souls was the hardest one and bloodborne the easiest. Also with so many bosses through these five games a better question would be which one of these 90 or so bosses is truly the champion of brutality the one boss that did more than cause you grief, and despair with each killing blow he dam near made you cry and suck your thumb maybe you even begged him for a break lol. The one that made you tremble and just made you glad you never have to fight him again...unless of course you need a reminder.

For me it was the hunter of hunter of hunters that guy that killed Eileen crow. Such a simple enemy totally non intimidating until he unleashes that bloodletting stab killing you in one or two swings.
This guy had me ready to give up, just throw in the towel he was so grossly overpowered but dam I wanted that crow armor. I literally jumped out my seat when I finally dealt that killing blow.

I meant to hit the reply button.

I remember that mini boss in Bloodborne. I was getting defeated everytime. I finally found a pretty good strategy. Numbing Mist was enough for me to keep his health down and get the shots I needed. The Eileen Crow set was really cool as well.

GrimDragon3603d ago

Yeah funny thing I tried numbing mist on him but the smart bastard would throw one at me also lol. I was like dam you!! Lol it was a frustrated desperate suicide run that revealed his one weakness. That part when he taints his sword with his own blood in that second you hit him you take a nice chunk of his health. Lol an accidental victory over a really tough bastard.

Former Sony president Shuhei Yoshida reveals why the original PS ultimately led to Bloodborne

Sony's bold entrance into the console market back in the '90s heralded the use of CD-ROMs instead of cartridges, which convinced several companies to jump on board the PlayStation train. It turns out FromSoftware was one of those companies lured in by the appeal of discs.

Elden Ring Nightreign "performed well beyond initial expectations," FromSoftware parent company says

Elden Ring Nightreign, a weird and experimental multiplayer-led title that FromSoftware basically built in a cave using exploded fragments of Elden Ring proper, has been a big hit.

Bad, in ten future instead of getting good game like elden ring we will get cheap crapy versions like this.

Miraak82 108d ago

It's good for them to put out lesser budget games to experiment with and also give new directors a chance to cook . Games like BB and Sekiro are what helped FS try new features that were implemented into DS3 and ER. Hopefully games like ER:NR and Duskbloods will help them with their shoddy netcode and improved MP experience lol . It's also way to early for another souls type game . It's better then company's that put out a game every 10 years and turns out to be crap

-Foxtrot108d ago

Yeah but Bloodborne and Sekiro were actually fantastic games in comparison to Nightreign which just felt like them lazily throwing together an online game with a bunch of reused assets for a quick buck.

Now they've learnt from this they can do that and still gain profit from it.

LightofDarkness107d ago

This argument has been used multiple times int he past when studios experiment with live service. It never turns out this way. They end up devoting all resources to milking their existing live services and end up neglecting any and all previous projects or IP. See: GTA, Apex Legends

First game I haven’t bought from FromSoft in a long time.

Miraak82 108d ago

Same but i respect it since they've tried to put out something new at least every year or 2 unlike most other companies, it's relatively a cheap game by today's standards and sure to get plenty of hours out of it . I'm more of a character building and pvp guy so I passed .

jznrpg107d ago

I have no issue with it I just dont have the patience and time to play online only games these days. Maybe when my kids are older and I have more time I’ll dabble more but it doesn’t fit my life and general taste at the moment. If I would play any MP game it would be a game from them or a really good MMO.

Goodguy01107d ago

Don't let that mean to you guys that you should stop making quality single player though please.

73oo73ie3107d ago

I will never be interested in this. ER2 please
