Honest question, why is everything compared or referenced to Dark Souls? (haven't played it) .
Is it the difficulty? because lots of games were hard before this popular new franchise arrived. The atmosphere? The mechanics? Level design? Some comparisons don't even make sense.
If Super Meat boy was released today, people would call it the darks souls of platformers :/
I barely started Hollow Knight so I don't know how hard it will get but sometimes I feel gamers overestimate games' difficulty.

I don't see any hype here about this game, but in case anyone interested, retail steam keys for Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 3 should be available for activation now if you bought game outside Steam store.

Oh ok. I remember now that you were supposed to get the first update for free, but I had no idea it included the others as well.

Genesis/Mega Drive, with a hint of Kirby series' power-ups, inspired Platformer 'Spark the Electric Jester' is releasing on April 6th-

Sure. You can say it about most games, but you and I both know that game will be in a bundle before something like Nier.
A mixture of things (speaking personally, obviously).
Level design is surprising. Exploring an area, and finding it open up into a vista, and then looking behind and realising that you can actually track your past hour or two's progress is pretty thrilling. I completed Bloodborne, and then started Nioh, and in comparison, Nioh's levels are predictable and obvious - "I expect there's some treasure here, with a dead-end. Oh, look, I was right." Dark Souls (and Bloodborne) have a minimum of predictability, without being procedural generated. The sense of loneliness and exploration is amazing, I think.
Environmental story-telling. Like, if you see an elevator with a blood texture on it, that's a hint that the elevator is trapped some how. There's lots of small nods from the developers like that, and it fleshes out the world a lot.
Mechanics are taught without a stupid tutorial - just notes and messages.
Stories which aren't over-told can't be badly told. Nioh's story is - imo - pretty crap, and the devs take great pains in laying it all out. But it's so meh, I end-up just not caring about it in any way. SoulsBorne games have a story, but the player has to be piece it together, so if they care about it, they can, and if not, then can just go around killing things and murdering NPCs.
The difficulty is over-rated, and I think it's used as a way to be elitist about the games - honestly, my Dark Souls 3 character is level 190 or so, and it just minces everything. But it's a good thing about the Souls games - if you like them and have the patience, you can just over-level to compensate for a lack of skills.
There's other points, too, like the combat is satisfying and the enemy designs are awesome (and scary, in some cases), but that's most of why I like them.
where u find out this? tnx
it has nothing to do with the difficulty, its because it uses the same style of (missable) "quests" as Dark Souls as you will trigger certain NPCs through out the game, the vibe, the fact you collect your dead soul to regain your currency, the bizarre super hidden secrets that only a community of players would decipher like Dark Souls, that directly influence the story of the game and extra bosses and whatnot.
I think all these expansions are free as they were Kickstarter stretch goals

Thank you for both your answers
While I understand what you are saying I believe I have to play DS to truly get what makes it so special.

I tried to subscribe to it but it kept failing so I just did the one off version. Oh well, there is still something very sketchy about it though!

what ever happened to the power rangers beat 'em up? was the steam version cancelled?

Hm, looks like they significantly improved this game since last time i've played it on my phone. Might give it another chance since it'll be on Steam.
Better late than never!
Yeah, the PC version was quietly canned at some point between the announcement trailer and the launch trailer.
Man, I was really hoping I'd like Rain World despite it being overly frustrating :/ But after 1 hour and knowing what other kind of even more difficult enemies you get I don't even want to try. I was having fun the first 40 minutes, since I could take it slow, use the pillars to escape lizards, wait it out etc. Then it started raining, and I was nearly at another hibernation room, if I got there I could've gotten to the third rank, but the rain got me and instead I lost a rank. :/ Then I tried going to another hibernation chamber trying not to take as long, but I died because I wasn't careful enough. Then again and again. I don't even want to try a turn because I know if I get to another hibernation chamber, I'll have to get to ANOTHER one without dying to progress. I really like the art and the ecosystem stuff is really cool but it's too hard for me and I suck too much. Which makes me sad. I don't even feel like it's a game but a wildlife simulator since I'm not having any fun anymore.
It's a crime that Battlegrounds doesn't have a first person only mode, because I don't think most players have seen this reload animation yet
I saw that hardcore, first person only, servers are on the roadmap.
Better late than never! I suppose this puts a dent in the theory that its Bethesda.net exclusivity on the PC side would prove to be a precursor to Bethesda pulling an EA.
Man wtf at those IAPs
Time to reinstall cheat engine
lol seems a lot of fun. dark souls is for kids

Was waiting for the DS3 complete edition but in April (and May, June and maybe even July lol) I'll be busy with Persona 5.
This will probably have to wait until the steam winter sale.

I'm very hyped for some classics being available legally on their original form so to speak, with some nice content and improvements added. We need more of those collections.
Man, I'm so damn curious. I bought the game this afternoon at work, just because it sounds super interesting. Almost everyone has issues with it, and yet still, I want to experience it for myself.
And after that we talk how shitty and shady G2A is
I'm starting to think I'm gonna have to wait for winter minimum too for dark souls 3, I want the complete game sub R$100 come on, Bamco
And I still want to get Berseria and Nier this year >.>

Most people already did last month when SuperHot was in their bundle.
good thing I waited for JC3 to be on humble monthly then
edit: I see Vazra is banned, what did him in btw?

Where did that Battlegrounds game come from? I heard nothing about it and then that's all I see. It's putting up significant numbers on Twitch, too.
It looks like a more accessible DayZ. Is that about right?

Cancelled the order. Let's see how long they will refund me

That's lame outside of TR Ann.
Can one request a refund for it? I hadn't redeemed the key(s) yet. edit: I see you already requested one; I may follow suit if yours go through.
Yeah I've suspected it being on Humble Monthly for some time now XP
It's been on the way for long while, and have been at the top of Twitch for as equally a long time. It's super popular in the genre.
Thanks for the heads up, this looks great.

I wonder how many people downloaded the Bethesda Launcher for this.
Wonder how similar the NA bundle will be. Would love to get Just Cause 3 but already have all that other stuff. Plus it seems unlikely the NA bundle will have JC3 but more likely to have a Final Fantasy game.
Edit: funny thing is that retail on those four games is $88 total, so that would be right around the estimate for the NA bundle.
Me. The game ran its course pretty quickly and I happily dumped all of it.
