What's your favorite FromSoftware game?

[Bonkers225]

None. As I grow older, my patience for video games are gone. And their games need alot of patience to get good at, or atleast get past the first stage...

Dark souls 3
Armored core VI
Elden Ring
Dark souls 2

I often felt so but then I realized it wasn't beause I realized old games are not hard but their BS gameplay just a huge bother or new games are not hard but just time wasters (they think enemy being bullet sponge is hard now lol). What I realized is I never actually played really "hard games" until like a decade ago.

I think a game is only hard when the difficulty is because of your lack of knowledge to play the game better especially in the context of either you have no idea of the features or you have no idea how to use the features in the best way possible for yourself. I don't think having to learn enemy patterns and developing Jedi reflexes as "hard". I also don't think any game that becomes "easy" just because you have to develop your character and getting better equipment makes the game hard. Even if with an upgrade system a hard game should be hard no matter what just because player need to use their knowledge in the best way to play the game so it's not even about "skill".

In that context for example why I enjoy playing S rank gameplay of Metal Gear Rising and why I always play Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet without any companion but with hardest difficulty is just because these games make you change your gameplay style into "more fun way" so thus you enjoy all the features available to you in must fun way possible so thus you can actually enjoy a hard game. A game is not hard if the game has unbalanced level scalling forcing players to grind EXP very early on in the game. The game is not hard if players cannot defeat an enemy without a particular level, skill or gear. The game is only hard because player lacks the necessary knowledge to know how to defeat the enemy so even pattern recognition, best level and gear becomes useless to defeat the enemy. I think as a game require skill to progress the more it gets luck-based gameplay. Nothing involving luck makes it "hard".

Now when I find a new hard game I'm like "ah I missed this feeling. It takes me back to the war I was honoured to fight in like 60 years ago!!! This battlefield makes me feel young again and I would be honoured more if I had died in this battle!!!!" lolol.

I've never played any. Metal Wolf Chaos is the obvious choice.

Armored Core 1 and 2 are near and dear to me. Love all the Souls stuff too. I still play the first Armored Core all the time.

 

[Elwiwi]

Dark souls 1 and sekiro

 

[cyberdyne_T1000]

Dark Souls 2
Demon Souls

Dark souls
Shadow tower

I think for me Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne are tied for my favorite games of theirs. Those are the ones I still come back to regularly (Well not Bloodborne anymore since my PS4 died) and enjoy each and every time.

I think outside of those 2 my top 5 would be:

Demon Souls (Original version)
Evergrace
Shadow Tower
Elden Ring
Metal Wolf Chaos

Bro, I used to live in London, everyday was like a souls-game. It did help to lose weight though, having to dodge roll to evade all the guys with knives lol.

Otogi 1 and 2 for sure. I love them more than Onimusha.

Haven't got much experience with From Software past the Ps2 era.
Tend to prefer their more slower(you could even call them clunky), exploratory based gameplay.
Echo Night 1 and Beyond.
King's Field 2(The one that begins near a kraken) and 4

Big fan of much of their library, but my personal favorites are Kuon and Sekiro.
