Mortal Shell Review | The Next Dark Souls? 

When Demon's Souls came out, there was nothing else like it at the time. Dark Souls took that foundation and improved nearly every aspect. Between that, the "prepare to die" marketing, and being on every platform catapulted its popularity. And its still a masterpiece to this day in my eyes.

Dark souls is revolutionary

It’s just sad the difficulty is retarded on some of the games in this genre. Sekiro felt like that at times, dark souls 3 felt like that every second of the game, and blood borne while the best game, still definantly got ridiculous occasionally, especially if you were a good player who didn’t need to soul farm.

uhm I mean I love souls but that is what happened with multiple game-genre. Metroidvania's got their name from the first 'Metroid' aswell as Roguelike's having their name based on the game 'Rogue'

@@mlgenderclangaming5470 as someone that platinumed all those games, I can say that is not true but difficulty is dependant on who you ask. as far as Sekiro goes it is way more timing-based. I played through all devilmaycry games multiple times, where timing is everything and I can say that I beat every sekiro goes blind on my first or second try. But to me platformers are way harder because Im just not good at them. Bloodborne on the other hand (while maybe biased because it was my first souls game) is pretty hard. Some enemies or areas are utter BS on your first playthrough or even afterwards.Like I played BB to ng+7 and still fear that cave in the nightmare frontier with the 2 winter lanterns(singing brains) Personally I wouldn't call any souls difficult, because if u are cautious and never rush in you usually won't die often, that said I personally would like even more challenge. Maybe not on your first playthrough but like additional harsh mechanics in ng+ or something

New huge DLC just announced!! Check it out

Real life?

@@alexico909 yes, in real life

@@KirkWilliams300 Real life as in playing the game and watching it on the screen in real life?

@@alexico909 real life as in recreating the weapon move sets and talking about how relatives they were

@@KirkWilliams300 sorry I'm really not trying to be an ass here I just need some clarification lol so when you say real life you just mean playing the game?

Makes-me-hard Souls

Synthetic Man not too hard but still pretty hard souls-like game to which I get mad hard from in game.

I agree. There was something incredibly smooth to all movement that I think is exactly what the genre needs.

Haven't played Remnant yet, but it's free on Epic so I'll get back to you on that.

@@SyntheticMan did you play it

Right? 🤣😂

It's definitely closer to DS3 and Bloodborne than DS1 or Demon's. No shields (though Hardening is kind of like blocking), and combat is more focused on 1v1 knight fights than a group of demons or hollows. The 2 balanced characters have a sidestep, which is functionally the same as a roll but faster.

I could talk about Borderlands. I really don't get why people like those games.

@@SyntheticMan Because totally generic looking green gun has higher damage numbers and that makes it such great shiny loot. Yeah, I don't get it either. I played it for a couple of hours because the shooting mechanic was solid in the beginning but then it became tedious rather quickly. It has all those casino like gambling hooks it tries to get into you with the looting mechanic and so on but it was not enough to bind me. Aesthetics and characters didn't help either with keeping me interested.

@@SyntheticMan Borderlands is a cod rip off. FPS games are all the exact same trash

@@leto1178 I loved the game because there is alot of unique weapons in the game to choose from, and the skill tree's really change how your character plays as you progress especially if your playing Zero, or krieg

@@abovethelaw4417 borderlands is nothing like cod

Yeah, same. I've purposely avoided playing Souls games for a couple years until now. After a break from them they feel more fresh, but I know if I play Surge 2 and Nioh 2 I'll be sick of them again.

@Synthetic Man, I can understand that. But I'm as tired of Souls games as I am of Open World FPS games with RPG elements and crafting. Any thoughts on the Call of Duty Black Ops reboot reveal? Think this one might actually be good or is it an other bait and switch like they pulled with MW 2019?

@@Gruntvc Bait & switch politically, story-wise, or gameplay? I'm not sure that I know the controversy with MW 2019. Though I would take the safe bet and not trust Activision.

@Synthetic Man, Story wise, Infinity Ward promised no politics in the game, but it actually was political and woke too. Plus the shill/activist gaming media attacked the game, prompting fans to think it wasn't woke. One of the biggest controversies was MW 2019's depiction of Russians. I know they've been villains in the original MW trilogy, but the reboot went even further. They basically depicted them like they were WW2 SS. Gameplay wise, it was fine and their actually was a few good moments, plus no season pass baloney. The last CoD campaign I liked was Infinite Warfare lol. Do admit Titanfall 2 had the better campaign though. Btw, might check out Mortal Shell given its lower price. But, kind of want to wait for a used copy 1st.

Cod and doom are both garbage games , they are the exact same thing over and over. These souls like games are all just generic souls clones. Soulsbored franchise has been milked to death

😴

Ah then it fits right with the rest of the souls games. Overrated trash

@@streetfighter2471 What are your favourite games then?

@@rossl5908 Halo ce, mhw, war thunder (admittedly ass), skyrim, metal gear solid 2 and 3, just to name a few.

@@streetfighter2471 Souls games are not shit but definitely overrated. I still don't agree with Elden Ring becoming game of the year
