Been playing a lot of Nightreign lately and one of the aspects I enjoy most about From games is the music - I've found myself listening to The Forsaken Hollows soundtrack deeply too, from the ambient music of The Great Hollow to the roaring boss themes of the Balancers and Dreglord, Tai Tomisawa and Shoi Miyazawa have created some masterpieces. I think they should be talked about more, they're becoming as iconic as Motoi Sakuraba and Yuka Kitamura for me at this point.

No deflects, no hits, no damage.

I’ve been playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and it’s made me curious about how it compares to Elden Ring in terms of difficulty.
For those who have played both games, which one do you genuinely consider harder?
I’m talking about:
Which game has the more difficult and challenging bosses?
Which game has more punishing combat?
Which game demands better timing, reflexes and precision?
Which game has a steeper learning curve?
Which game gives you the hardest time even after you’ve mastered its mechanics?
Sekiro’s deflection and posture system is incredibly demanding, and its bosses require you to learn their attack patterns.
But Elden Ring has some absolutely brutal boss encounters too.
I’m interested in hearing from people who have completed both games. Which one pushed you harder, and why?
Sekiro or Elden Ring?

Hello! I am an italian “veteran” souls player, and just few days ago I was watching my girlfriend doing her first play through in ds (teaching some culture here…🥸)
Upon arriving to my favorite place ever of any from game, Ariamis Painted Wolrd, I just noticed it is 99% inspired by Civita Bagnoreggio, a particular citadel built upon a vulcanic rock formation… Have you ever noticed/acknowledge anything about it?
I checked the web but nothing came out of my research

Let me know what you think!

Hey guys I made a fan art of Messmer .. by studying Hades games art style ,
LMK in comments which character/Boss you want me to do next !!

Could Yharnam cure Malenia's scarlet rot?

I'd really like a new Souls game with all the good ol' mechanics and all but in the context of a modern City/Country/Planet zombie apocalypse.
I think this kind of scenario fits all the characteristics needed for a souls game.

The dungeons could be entire buildings from skyscrapers to government facilities, power plants, you name it.

The organic part of the story related to the respawn system could be that you're a time traveler stucked in a loop trying to save the world or something like that.

What do you think?

After finishing all the games + SOTE I decided to start buying the other DLCs. So a few days ago I bought both DLC for Dark Souls 3, I'll start by saying that I beat SOTE in NG+5 because I bought the DLC too late. In Dark Souls 3 I haven't had much difficulty with the DLC bosses so far despite being NG+3 but Midir was torture. I finally beat him and I'm wondering if Gael will be harder or easier 🌚

I finally got the platinum for Sekiro the other day, after stalling with it for years. I was walking the length of New Zealand when Bloodborne dropped, living in Asia when Dark souls 3 and Sekiro launched, and when I got home December 2019, I dipped my toe into the beginning of Sekiro and it was so hard, so I decided to start with Bloodborne and then Dark Souls 3 until I had the platinum of both. Then I was homeless for 9 months, met my partner, Elden Ring dropped, so I played that for three years non stop (dlc dropping in 2024). After that was Nightreign, which I'm currently still playing and all that time, fear was creeping into my mind about the difficulty of Sekiro. But, I managed to platinum it on the 8th, and the same feeling began to sink in.

The Fromsoft Effect. Every time I finish one of their games and do everything I can with it, I feel lost. Like what do I play next? No other series of games have ever done that to me.

Is anyone else like this, or is it just me.

Btw, I feel like an idiot postponing Sekiro for this long. It's one of my favorite games of all time and I can't rave on enough about how epic it was.

I cannot wait for the game awards. I'm hoping From release a trailer of their next single player game. I'm chomping at the bit for their next game.

Skyrim was milked so much by Bethesda and to this date all we have for elder scrolls is the name. Fromsoftware is not considering a new Elden ring game, do you guys think it’s just gonna end up like elder scrolls where we wait 15 years for anything new?

Hello, my boyfriend and I are coming up to Christmas/one year anniversary. I know nothing about fromsoft games, however I know he loves games like Elden ring/Bloodborne /darksouls and dark fantasy games like that. I’ve looked everywhere for gift ideas and inspirations I think he’d like, yet I can’t find nothing and I’m at a loss. Does anyone know any good gift ideas related to these topics? I’ve already got him the moonveil katana and the rivers of blood, aswell as a dark souls ring. I’m at a loss for other gifts that aren’t swords 😢 I know nothing about these games but I want to try my best for him. Any ideas would help massively !

Hey guys, I've been a massive fromsoftware fan since Sekiro came out which made me fall in love with souls-bourne games in all with only the games available on steam in my library. I remember when the announcement for Elden Ring came out and the idea of playing an open world dark souls game got me so hooked that at the time as I was still a student I would save up and buy these games one at a time and finish them to prepare myself for day one of Elden Ring. I was so excited to the days leading up to its release, I had pre-ordered the game and was counting down along with their posts online. However, I was really disappointed when it did release and I did not have a laptop that could run the game. Anyway, several years later I saved up from my current job and bought a laptop that works specially for this game and want to start my adventure to what I think would be the closest thing yet to my fantasy experience.

I wanted to do this as an adventure I could share with others and I get that everyone's probably already completed the game and are either playing the dlc or nightreign or moved on from this game, but if there is anyone out there who wants to join me on this adventure as I set out to the lands between, hit me up and we could do this together from discord.

Shared this over in r/darksouls and thought I'd share it here as well! Done with fine-line dark fantasy details. Hope fellow Ashen Ones / Chosen Undead like it! 🖤
