Calling darksouls games "soulslikes" is like calling the original rogue a "roguelike" or calling doom a "doomclone"...

Why is Nintendo still the king of Mario games?

[willjohnboy]

Ign really has some clever people working for them this video is genius 😆

[mashdatdp]

What boggles my mind is how the hell can they create so many cool bosses with so many unique movesets. Some games cant even get a cool decent boss.

[marcelovinicius]

no way, the creators of the genre are the best doing it, what a wild idea

[yiannispsxsx]

why my mum is the best mum for me? This is why Fromsoft is the best for soulslike/borne games.

[danowarhealy]

It must be a very very slow game news day if someone decided to point out the most obvious thing ever

[naxoxz]

FromSoftware really makes you feel like Batman

[zengamer]

FromSoft games always have some skewed perspective or a "willingness to be weird" that other developers don't have. It sets them apart and adds personality to their games. It's like having a friend who's unusual and that makes them so much fun to spend time with.

Recently started playing these games ...I'm hooked

Simple: other soulslikes coped the formula - but they are missing the SOUL!

The “Gaol” in Bloodborne is pronounced like “jail.” It’s an older English spelling of it. As for “Hypogean, ” that means underground. So it translates to, “Underground Jail.” 👌🏼

[juniorelizondo]

IGN are some geniuses aren't they.

[dahkwanzaasanders]

They’re not the king of soulslike. They are the creators.

[Psychadelico]

The "Gaol" in Hypogean Gaol is read like "jail", not "gauol"

[peterjohnston]

Why is Starbucks still the best at being Starbucks? Now that’s a conundrum

[jordanzorn-ford]

Who would have thought the developers that made souls games would be the best at making souls games?

What an insightful watch

[taloor]

without watching the video, they made the genre.

[victorarroyo]

What? FromSoftware is the father of Souls. All the rest are Soulslike.

[gtabro]

2:39 damn, we all read "gaol" as "gaol" and not "jail", huh :D
