The Catch-22 of Souls games’ stories and why they must remain the same

Ross loves Souls games. Admittedly, he got on the train a little late: He's never played Demon’s Souls and he Dark Souls II and III queued up, ready to go. However, from Dark Souls and Bloodborne, undoubtedly two of the strongest of the five in the franchise, here's what he believes about the franchise's method of telling stories.

There's a story in SoulsBorne games? I know I offended a lot of people just now but the "story" in those kinds games always went over my head and I never gave a shit.

It's always been the combat and gameplay that made me a fan of the Souls series.

Eiyuuou2493d ago

There's a big difference between not caring about it and denying its existence.

Nobody gets upset about the former, but the latter is just stupidity at its finest.

Summons752493d ago

Which is why the way the present the story works in this rare instance. It's meant for the gameplay but if you want to know the story or backstory/lore/characters all that information is easily at your fingertips if you take 5 minutes to look but it's okay if you don't want too and want to slaughter demons

Yeah but having g a story would Complete the package. How can anyone claim having a coherent story would not add value to the soul games is beyond me.

jerethdagryphon2493d ago

There not the rype of game that needs narrative driving it via cuscenes and missions. Its subtle story telling

Summons752493d ago

There is a story and it's pretty in depth.

Injusticewarrior2493d ago (Edited 2493d ago )

Played 2/5ths of the games. Come back when you've finished your homework.

"He's never played Demon’s Souls and he (has)* Dark Souls II and III queued up, ready to go."

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo14h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9014h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19895h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

qalpha14h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno14h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan14h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno13h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198114h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6695h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19817m ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Cacabunga1d 10h ago

TheColbertinator1d 4h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac1d 2h ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
