Please no more bloodborne or dark souls style simplistic combat trash with damage numbers. I'd rather have fluid and responsive controls. Hack and slash combat is a million times better than the awful and dated combat in bloodborne. If this game isn't like that then it's a major selling point, not a flaw. Look at all these bandwagon battle royale, looter shooter or "souls like" games that just shamelessly copy, isnt it better to do something different?

Ummm...Bloodborne/Dark Souls doesn’t have damage numbers...did you even play Bloodborne or Dark Souls?

l33t_haxx0r2494d ago

Um I'm playing dark souls remastered right now and I see damage numbers when I hit enemies.. are you smoking crack?

Traecy2494d ago

Bloodborne & Dark Souls display damage numbers when you're striking a enemy.

BoneMagnus2494d ago

I stand corrected!

The damage indicator is under the enemy health bar. I guess I noticed it before, but it isn’t as distracting as some games that have numbers all over the place.

My bad!

AnthonyDavis2493d ago

Bloodborne is the game of the generation, and that’s a fact.

i think you are negative in every single post.

SCW19822494d ago

One simple question? WTF are you talking about, have you even played a Soulsborne game?

isarai2494d ago

You've never actually played any of these games have you? none of the games ever had damage numbers, and the controls are very responsive, they are just not as fast as say Ninja Gaiden. But there's no way you'd be able to beat bosses like Father Gascoigne if the controls weren't responsive. Also the combat is pretty much the opposite of "simplistic" sure there's not a huge list of combos, but the complexity comes from reading your enemies and responding accordingly, i dare you to button mash in these games, you'd die on the first "gimme" enemy.

Traecy2494d ago (Edited 2494d ago )

I just checked some YouTube videos because it's been a while since I've played Bloodborne but BB & Dark Souls do display numbers when you're striking an enemy.

isarai2494d ago

well you see their health bar, and then above the health bar tells you how much damage you've done in that combo. It's not like other games where every hit has numbers flying out of the enemy's head.

NarutoFox2494d ago (Edited 2494d ago )

Bloodborne is a Beast. I don't even think you played it and just came in to troll the game😁

SilverDemon2494d ago

If you don't like the style/genre of the game then dont buy it
Not every game should be made for casuals, dumbass

nucky642494d ago

wow. do you play games? you think the combat in bloodborne is "dated"; but, the "hack and slash" style has been around MUCH longer. btw - what damage numbers are you talking about in the souls/bloodborne games??

Thundercat772494d ago

The profesional troll 😂

DVAcme2494d ago

You must feel lonely, being so wrong all the time.

NewsForSnowflakes2494d ago

Make up your mind. You like Anthem according to your other comments. Seems to me that you enjoy looter shooters and "trash with damage numbers".

drunkenspy0072494d ago

So you would rather jam on buttons and hope for the best? This game ain't for you then as it requires some skill.

salmonade2494d ago

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about

Sirk7x2494d ago (Edited 2494d ago )

Took a look at your comment history. If you're not just unabashedly trolling, you should reflect on your hobbies and general attitude. It's not healthy, and is indicative of unhappiness if you enjoy upsetting others. Most trolls are miserable people, and studies have shown much evidence for this. Have a nice day.

RememberThe3572494d ago

You do know the DMC5 just came out right?

Dragonscale2494d ago

Bloodborne is still one of the best games this gen and the Souls games are superb tbh. So you think that every action game needs the combat to be like Bayonetta or dmc but yet when something is actually different you cry about it, and anyhow Bloodborne's combat is some of the most fluid and visceral out there. What a hypocrite lol.

bluebenjamin2494d ago (Edited 2494d ago )

Thanks bro I bought bloodbourne when I had a Pro just because of all the comments I was reading about how awesome it is,I got bored so easy it just was not as fun as Ninja Gaiden 2 on Ps3 and 360 hell i even enjoyed ninja gaiden graphics more and its 7th gen

Muzikguy2494d ago

Bloodborne simplistic? Strange to complain about clones too when there haven't been many. From Software makes these kinds of games well. No problem with that. I'd take their style over hack and slash any day. They did do something different and continue to do so.

frostypants2494d ago (Edited 2494d ago )

Simplistic combat? Now you're just trolling. Poorly. You clearly never played Bloodborne.

william_cade2493d ago

because mashing buttons is way better. They both have their place. I prefer timing and spacing, while some prefer mashing buttons.

GameStallion2493d ago

You have no idea what you’re talking about, do you?

bouzebbal2493d ago

Lol so much bull in one place.. And you don't want those games just don't buy them

Edito2493d ago

You don't know what you are talking about.

ChiefofLoliPolice2493d ago

Uhh... Yeah those 171 dislikes should tell you something. Did you even play either of those two games...?

Bloodborne didnt ruin the Dark Souls Remastered for me...so I doubt it will ruin it for this

Movefasta19932494d ago

that's because dark souls 1 is the best souls game

Palitera2494d ago

Demon's Souls, by its atmosphere and tendency mechanics, rips everything else apart.

Movefasta19932494d ago

I think demon souls has the best atmosphere and dark souls 1the best level design and bosses.

goldwyncq2494d ago

Demon's Souls has the best soundtrack but Dark Souls wins in the gameplay department.

PeaSFor2494d ago

1Demons Souls
2BloodBorne
3DarkSouls
4DarkSouls3
5Darksouls2

thats it.

Babadook72493d ago

@peas

Unless your a pc only or Xbox only souls fan. Otherwise ya pretty much.

I agree the remastered has ruined DS1 for me to. Forgot how annoying some parts are lol

starchild2494d ago

Everything I've seen about Sekiro leads me to think I will enjoy it even more than From Software's previous games. The combat system, traversal and mystical feudal Japanese setting all seem more appealing to me than anything that has come before.

savedsynner2494d ago

Agreed. The Souls formula has become a tad stale. Dark Souls 3 honed the formula to near perfection and as great as the game was, it's essentially Demon's Souls with a tighter combat system,better graphics and a ton of nostalgia.

The combat in Sekiro does look souls-ish but if feels more action orientated, which makes sense because this is an action game, not an rpg.

BlaqMagiq12494d ago (Edited 2494d ago )

Bloodborne didn't ruin anything. I can still play any other Souls style games just fine.

Sekiro: No Defeat | Official Trailer | Crunchyroll

Japan is fractured into many independent nations entangled in ceaseless war. At the center lies Ashina, a land of sacred earth and ancient mystery. Two decades after Sword Saint Isshin Ashina reclaimed the region in a brutal coup, a new threat emerges from within: The Interior Ministry. Desperate to protect his homeland, Isshin’s grandson Genichiro turns to forbidden powers. The only hope lies in a kidnapped boy — the Divine Heir — and his silent protector: a loyal shinobi known only as Sekiro.

don't pay for this streaming platform, just do some research and find free streaming elsewhere. they took money after I canceled

anast148d ago

This looks cool, but there's something off about the art. It looks like they added sketchy lines to make it look gritty instead of making it look gritty.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Review

NoobFeed editor Ahnaf Tajwar writes - FromSoftware cooked up one of the best combat systems with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and never did anything like it again. That may be a good thing, as it makes this game one of a kind. If you are a fan of Souls games or a borderline masochist, you will, without a doubt, love Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice because it is a masterpiece. It is a must-play for all hardcore gamers.
