I have a lot of gamer friends and NONE of them like Soulslikes at all. Every time a new FromSoftware Souls game title came out, I tried to push it on them, no luck. I'm not one for tough games either, I rarely play games with difficulty higher than normal. Demon's Souls got me hooked regardless so many years ago. My next monumental task is to get 2 of my friends to play NightReign with me!
I think the rise in popularity for Soulslikes mainly boils down to the rise in popularity of FromSoftware themselves. They are the driving force behind the desire to create these types of experiences, and in the current state of the gaming industry, they’re one of the few studios at the top of the pile who’re consistently winning public favor. Sure, they take an L here and there - Elden Ring’s performance issues at launch, the recent “controversy” around Nightreign having elements of certain trendy genres that people are sick of - but in the bigger picture you’ll see that reception is still overwhelmingly positive. The genre is big thanks to the grandfather series that founded it being a reliable source of high-quality experiences that people struggle to find in the rest of the industry. If FromSoft wasn’t continuing to pump out new titles, the genre would’ve probably faded from the mainstream as well.
the most disgusting feeling there can be is when you feel like the game plays you.. it controls you.. for your money... so the question for me is how the handholding games were and are so massive..
When I first heard of Dark Souls it was on RUclips and gave the game a try thought it was cool, and then after playing a couple hours thought it was shittiest game ever never touched the game again because it was “Hard” or “annoying” yeah can you believe that, until 2016 my uncle taught me how to “Properly” play Dark Souls 3, like paying attention to a bosses fighting pattern, don’t be greedy, watch your stamina, all that changed how I played video games now and then I understood , and thus began my Soulsborne addiction and was very surprised everyone even new comers were intrigued with Elden Ring
Sorry, but watching you botch the tree jump this bad is triggering. Git gud you dirty scrub! Just kidding, loved the video and agree with everything you said. :)

Wish I had a friend like you 👍🏾
artstyle and atmosphere play a huge role. people want that gritty dark fantasy feel. gameplay is great too.

JFC could you find a worse video to play during this?
Oh I strongly disagree that doom eternal wasn’t dumbed down.
