Pc version is pretty unlikely because Sony is the publisher, much like how the Demons Souls deal went down. This game is the only reason to own a ps4 as far as I care. drat you Sony

no shields and parrying costs ammo so I think it's gonna be pretty different

Much like DOTA and LOL are different games. Or Diablo vs Torchlight. E.G. pretty much identical unless you're knee deep in the poo poo.

And this is coming from a guy who played the Souls games to death. We'll appreciate the differences but it might be pretty easy to confuse them.

dota and lol are only "pretty much identical" if you've literally never played the games, they're superficially similar but play very differently, so that was a pretty lovely comparison to get your point across but good for mine I guess.

Removing shields and making parries require a resource are huge changes from a gameplay standpoint.

E: Nevermind, unnecessary roughness.

If you consider crowd and resource management making the game completely different, you're sitting too close to the subject and might be having tunnel vision. There's some amount of perspective needed here. Basically I'll Consider it "like come on obviously completely different guys" when it starts playing like Puzzle Fighter or something.

Two games can have mechanics that are similar or similar playstyles while still being distinct and feeling different.

It will be in the same vein as the souls games, but I think it will feel quite a bit different on the combat side of things. Exploration and such may be identical, but I see combat as being the meat of the game.

Well I guess it's a matter of opinion about words at that point. I wouldn't consider Mario 1 and Mario 3 to be super different for example, but I guess some people would.

No?

Do you just read the word "dota" and start frothing at the mouth and feel the need to post your stupid poo poo without looking at context or, indeed, other words that were said?

It's not a parry, per se. You shoot the thing with your gun when it's about to hit you. It's just functionally similar to parries in souls.

Lol at you knowing enough about DOTA AND LoL to be able to smack a person down for drawing a shallow equivalence between them. Kill yourself, queermo.

Unless Sony can put out 5 more good games exclusive to PS4 before I can get a console for like $50 or just emulate that sucker, I won't bother to buy a PS4 for this game.
