Musou games acknowledge they're over the top and fun

Souls games pretend to be hardcore and difficult when they're not so much different

if only that was the case. Maybe they should acknowledge that the gameplay is monotonous and are not at all interesting to play.

I don't get why people shitpost about musuou games "Not being difficult"

I dare one of you turbo nerds to emulate Dynasty Warriors 3 and play that bullshit on Chaos Mode.

musou games are pretty boring and repetive imo

Souls for me
>>
>>343064739
B-B-But the publishers didn't tell me those games were hardcore! Only Namco Bandai was based enough to tell me how hardcore Dark Souls was!
>>
First of all, "Souls" is a series of games, whereas "Musou" is a sub-genre of games. The two aren't comparable categories.

Second of all, Musou games are fairly niche and appeal to a very narrow subset of people. Souls games on the other hand are marketed towards the lowest common denominator, naturally drawing in the larger amount of players.

Having a poll on this is stupid.
>>
I like both and many other fighting systems as well.

I like musou because it's mindless and I like souls because it's got good level design and fights.

So I like both.

lel

>>343064414
this. souls games are just tedious and only as difficult as your average platformer.

musous are comfy tier hack n slash, no need to pretend you're gud, just customizan, buildan, killan

>Musou sells like shit, every game ever.
>Souls sells typically beteen 2.5m+ per release.
>People that don't play either Souls or Musou vote for Musou due to /v/ hipster contrarianism.
>Berserk is an upcoming Musou, so now anime shitposters think the genre is worth a fuck even though it will sell and play like shit, and Berserk is a shit Manga.

I don't understand the rampant hate for either,

Musou games are repetitive, but they are fun to stomp around in, good power fantasy games, over the top overpowered characters which are fun every once in a while. The gameplay is focused more on battlefield control than challenging combat,

Souls games are very much the opposite, slower gameplay, more methodical fighting, you are comparatively underpowered and single enemies can kill you if you aren't paying attention. It's based on subtle story, exploration and that feeling of accomplishment you get after pushing through a challenging area,

Both have their place, and it's okay to enjoy both, fuck off with your detrimental self righteousness and learn to appreciate things for what they are rather than dismissing them out of hand
>>
>>343067685
he literally is wrong.
>>
>>343064414

theyre nothing alike. musou has no level design, just flat empty fields. combat has no weight, there are almost never any physics, no questing, exploration, or anything at all, really. musou is the worst fucking genre by far.
>>
>>343065084

well one has level design, rpg elements, and combat that isnt a single button. so its at least less repetitive than musou which is to weightlessly run around an empty field mashing x
>>
>>343064021
Of course Souls.

Souls is not better for Berserk though. Way too slow paced, way too much strafing and rolling.

Mindless button mashers are boring garbage, even god of war takes more skill than musou garbage
>>
>>343064021
why do people want a souls like berserk game?, what Guts has tu endure every serious fight is enough to kill you 10 times on a souls game.

BB comes pretty close to how I would imagine a Berserk game playing.

That counts as souls?
The other souls games might fit aesthetically but they are way too slow for berserk.
>>
>>343068692
this

too bad it's going the direction of Ryse than DMC4SE
>>
Shame the new Berserk is musou the PS2 game nailed the gameplay perfectly.

Yea, I was going to say the only way FromSoft can do a Berserk game is if they take the Bloodborne angle and make it fast, only with much more enemies

I mean with a offhand cannon and the rally system you are halfway there already.

comfirmed for never playing a musou on anything other than normal

Warriors orochi on extreme is almost a fucking ninja gaiden game
with 1000 enemies on screen at once, and mini bosses that can stun lock you
>>
>>343070883
From what I have played of Musou games I can not imagine the game doing any boss like wyald justice.
>>
>>343071042
you should play more musous then

Musou games are typically pretty boring, but not awful. Trying to compare Souls to Musou is really retarded though, they're not even remotely trying to do the same thing. Musou is about stringing together lengthy combos and trying to cut through as many enemies as possible, Souls is about timing all your actions well so you don't get punished.

a lot of the criticism labeled against souls games isn't really valid though, too many people saying "it's clunky" just because you can't swing away mindlessly

>>343069251
God of War catches too much hate really. It's not as good as Jap action games but it's still really solid and honestly fun to play. It only catches hate because more casual gamers who don't understand DMC will praise GoW over it.
>>
>>343071147
I think its cool how both SK and Guts have their own Apostle and God Hand rivals.

SK has Zodd and Void
Guts has Grumbeld and Griffith
>>
>>343071339
But it is not a Musou game.

Berserk isn't my problem.

Dynasty Warriors and its spinoffs.
The old berserk game is not in any way a Musou game.
Not by any definition.
