If you have a dog and haven't posted it in a babushka yet.. Why not?

Yeah I kind of agree. Their mellow side certainly seems to outweigh the metal parts from what I've listened to. I guess the artist felt that was the best way to express what they wanted to express, even if you and I don't really "get" that part of their vision.

FWIW you can play completely ranged in the the Dark Souls games. DS2 has binoculars which let you treat it like a FPS with spells if you so choose. It's a lot of fun imo. Bows are also viable.

Unfortunately I don't know of anything else like that besides Remnant.

I think part of it is that metal can be very genre-fluid compared to other styles of music, so when people hear the metal parts they're quick to accept it as that. One of the first things new metal listeners learn is that there are a thousand subgenres.

I kind of loosely place them in the metal category in my mind. Even though they're really a lot more like Bon Iver with the occasional metal passage.

Tool - Parabol / Parabola

Tool - Intermission / Jimmy (although probably among their less popular songs)

They don't even know why we're dicks out 😭

Yeah, it seems like there are a lot of imitations, but very few that nail it. Never played LotF, but it makes my bullshit detector go off. Same with a lot of other soulslikes.

I think with the success of the genre and apparent difficulty to execute it well there is a kind of sweet spot or evolutionary path for games that get the soulslike elements right but aren't trying to just be clones. Tunic and Death's Door come to mind. Unsouled is a recent one I played whose combat felt great, but wasn't trying too hard. Same with Tails of Iron. I think those games all borrow from souls AND other influences enough to stand as their own new ideas and not just souls guy in armour game #1246383.

Not sure what else to say other than hopefully we get some new ideas that take the best of souls and other things to make something new and quality. And hopefully Fromsoft keeps putting out solo games on all platforms.

Dota without question

Came here to say this. Over 4 years clean now. There were a lot of good times with the squad. And I guess it gave me a relatively high APM which helps at work.
