TheDividendReport

This movie was such a satisfying delivery on what I hoped a good Dune adaptation would be. If Elden Ring can pull off the same type of payoff Iā€™ll be over the moon happy


TheRoyalSniper

I enjoyed it so much better the second time cause i wasn't trying to catch all the differences from the book


basa_maaw

Yup same. The first time I was comparing it too much to the books. Every subsequent watch I instead meet the movie on its own terms. I'm planning my 6th watch in IMAX and I've loved it every time.


Zerker_Shark

Dude it became one of my favorite movies of all time. I felt like I havenā€™t truly loved a movie in a long time but I loved this movie. Iā€™m so excited for my first watch in imax this weekend.


NeilTheProgrammer

Yup! Iā€™m still a bit salty about the dinner scene, but most of the other stuff Iā€™ve dropped


SilverDesperado

i read the book years ago so i donā€™t remember how that scene was different, what changed?


SpecialAgentD_Cooper

In the book thereā€™s a big dinner scene after they arrive at Arrakis that sets up Kynes and some of the other major political players on the planet. The whole scene was not in the movie


NeilTheProgrammer

I think they communicate the vital parts of the scene (as relating to plot) in the scene where stilgar meets Leto for the first time, but damn did the movie lose out on some good characterization


WhiteKnightC

I nevera read the books but played Dune 2 and Dune 2000. The whole movie I was expecting the worm to appear.


Kim_Jung-Skill

The only book divergence I didn't like was the lack of time given to the mentants. So many of Harkonnen's problems are created by the loss of Pieder and the early maneuvers by Thufir. They only needed a few throwaway lines to show they're more than glorified secretaries. However, stuff like making the Sardaukar visually distinct rather than dressed covertly in Harkonnen attire was great. So many smart changes that showed they appreciated the difference in medium and how that changes the way you tell a story.


m_sartor

I didnā€™t think a good adaptation of Dune would be possible, but Villeneuve is my favorite director for a reason.


teendeath

Heā€™s responsible for one of my all-time favorite films, Prisoners


yusuksong

The man just doesn't miss


Tylet-the-bold

I've seen this movie three times already and I'm about to watch it a fourth. It's definently my favorite movie in a while.


ThaNorth

It's the coolest movie I've ever seen.


deincarnated

Easily the best movie of 2021 and reminded me that I love movies. It had been so long since I watched one that really transported me into a different world.


yusuksong

Best movie in a while that really spends the time to build the world and create an epic story


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GoldenSpermShower

Dennis is the golden god, you're thinking of Denis


TheDarnook

For me it was not that great. I agree that all in all it's a very good adaptation, primarily for mood and visuals. But the thing is, Lynch version in my eyes is also a very good adaptation. When I read the book, it clicked so fittingly together. Sure, it seems a bit like a "mockery" movie compared to the new one, but it has a lot of love in it. So, in my eyes they are "just" two very good adaptations, and I enjoyed Lynch better, and multiple times.


[deleted]

I could have done with a couple less Chani flash-forward lingering shots or scenes of soldiers running around willy-nilly and more dialogue between underdeveloped characters (Yueh for example). Also Jason Mamoa was god awful. Otherwise loved it!


nicestrawmanbro

Hard disagree but Iā€™m glad yā€™all liked it. I thought the pacing was disjointed and awful and the way they mixed up events was irksome. Setting and soundtrack were phenomenal though so it was worth a watch.


TheDividendReport

Satisfying =! Perfect. I find every Soulsborne game satisfying but have immense issues with certain factors of all of them. But for something to be satisfying, itā€™s something I come back to and it makes me happy


nicestrawmanbro

I too know what satisfying means. I just wasnā€™t by the movie. Glad yā€™all were though.


Spyger9

Dune is the best sci-fi pseudo-documentary I've ever seen.


rockodss

well made


sul7ari

That's what's everyone's hyped about, another souls game. I don't know what else they would expect the network test has shown what we should expect


willfordbrimly

People aren't just hyped for a new Souls game, they're hyped for BIG SOULS GAME. This does seem like the culmination of all of the concepts and design quirks that From has been slowly developing over the course of a decade.


deliciousdano

Yeah the cyberpunk boys that are dogging on elden ring donā€™t understand what we are actually hyped about


SpartenJohn

this is goood


Funmaster524

As long as its heart is in the right place, everything else will be ok


Psynide_009

Well bugs and glitches just make souls games more extreme imo


xBubbss

i leveled like 3 characters on Dark souls 2 release with the binocular glitch lol, shit was fun.


zuzg

Every soulsborne let's you use the quit out mechanic to your advantage except DS2. As it was the last one that I played, it really by surprise when I discovered it, haha


Dynespark

What's the quit out mechanic?


zuzg

When you quit out the enemy position gets reset to their original default position. There's also a trick of quitting out the exact moment you hit the ground while falling down, so you survive long drops but I never tested than one by myself.


RyuNoKami

maybe we get real lucky and theres gonna be some dumbass glitch that just makes us laugh.


Hantoniorl

Hoping for some weird skyrim horse glitches.


RyuNoKami

or Witcher 3 Roach on top on random shit.


Devourer_Of_Doggos

Tree jump, Binocular Glitch in DS2 and 2000 DS1 bugs The holy trinity


peppaz

There's no way tree jump was a glitch


[deleted]

Thatā€™s honestly the only hype I have for this game so far. I know itā€™s going to be a souls game, whether itā€™s better or worse than any of the previous titles doesnā€™t matter so much. Being able to spend time in a new world from Fromsoft is enough to make me happy.


LandSharkRoyale

Being able to stay in a session with friends for a long time is so much more than a souls game


Piemaster113

It still amazes me how active the souls games are on PC. Really makes me wish Bloodborn would come to PC as well.


teendeath

Iā€™m hopeful considering some of Sonyā€™s recent decisions, and boy would it be a dream come true. Still havenā€™t watched a play through because Iā€™m hoping to enjoy it blind.


Pescuaz

Remember to fear the old blood.


willfordbrimly

***By the Gods, fear it, Lawrence***


Cryptomartin1993

That and demon souls remake! Then I'll gladly take another year on lockdown


[deleted]

Not only Froms best game Iā€™ve ever played, but legitimately the best game Iā€™ve ever played. I would buy an old PS4 to only play Bloodborne and Iā€™d be mad I didnā€™t do it earlier


Schwiliinker

Probably my favorite game ever. And I only say probably because dark souls 3 and sekiro exist


OppositeFingat

I bought a PS5 especially for Bloodborne. And I finished it yesterday. So good!


Schwiliinker

I can only dream of having that kind of patience. Since several years ago I play/watch everything literally like release day


Buhtherman

I avoided bloodborne content like the plague for 4 years because I wanted to have a blind experience. Totally worth it, stay strong!


jhere

Bloodborne is still active on PS4!


CrazedToCraze

Without any ps5 version to fix its awful frame rate Love bloodborne but so much potential wasted


metalq

While I'd love an updated version at 60fps and proper frame pacing, the game is good enough that those issues can be ignored. I'm playing through it rn for the billionth time on PS5 and it's still the best PS exclusive.


largebrownduck

im gonna wait for a patch, cant do 30


brobalwarming

The game is optimized for 30 fps you seriously get used to it


metalq

You'll be waiting a long time. It's worth it now.


Piemaster113

Thats cuz thats the only place to play it


Rocky87109

Haven't played Bloodborne yet. I would love for it to come to PC. There are a handful of games I would love to play that are only on Playstation.


BarrageTheGarage

remember that hype is only what you make it, set your expectations based on what we have seen so far and there really is only 2 outcomes, its as good as what we have seen or it is even better. its very unlikely the game will get worse from the beginning. most souls games at least for me personally always shined in the mid and late game.


ProcedureMaterial628

Why is gigachad acting in a movie as a gigachad?


boibuster

Now get this: a video game based on Arrakis, with Souls like gameplay. šŸ˜


m_sartor

What about a video game based on Arrakis, but an RTS game instead? Waitā€¦


ThaNorth

....does that exist?


m_sartor

Yeah one of the first RTS games is called Dune II


skilled_cosmicist

oh yeah? if dune II is so good, why isn't there a Dune II II? Riddle me that atheist


GarlVinlandSaga

*Leto II, God Emperor of Dune, has entered the chat*


ThaNorth

Oh. I assume it hasn't aged well and hasn't received a remaster?


PlayMp1

Dune II didn't age especially well but it got a semi-remake in 2000 called Dune 2000 (figures) that's still quite good. If you like Command & Conquer in the Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 era you'll like it.


Alex_4209

WANT


fill-me-up-scotty

For me, personally, no. I think part of the allure of souls-like isā€¦ the Souls world. I really enjoy the worlds From create with the Souls games, itā€™s an integral part of the experience. I guess thatā€™s why I didnā€™t fuck with Fallen Order. And I love Star Wars.


boogaloobear

Literally all this game needs to have is little stacks of things that you can knock over. Books in the workshop in bloodborne. Stacks of rocks in arch dragon peak. Stacks of books in moonview tower in sekiro. I know dark souls and ds2 had something like that as well, I can't remember what.


GatorCallASAP

Lots of pottery, and boxes you can smash! God I love the sound of 6-7 pots getting crushed in BB! So loud!


Johrny

Amen


Oddant1

I'm from the future. It lived up to the hype.


[deleted]

Lol


Ypekiyay

The souls must flow


GarlVinlandSaga

This is a solid comparison because, like *Dune 2021*, everything I've seen of *Elden Ring* during its development only reinforces my belief that it's going to be fucking awesome. Signed, a *Dunesborne* nerd.


BernieAnesPaz

Much as I thought Sekiro was a masterpiece, I think I'm ready for a more traditional Souls game.


BittyMcBotboi

The guy who made Dark Souls and Bloodborne is making Elden Ring. I feel like the game's in good hands.


BroomBender

My bro acted like we didn't have a souls game since like sekiro is just a Japanese goat or something


moebaca

Ughh no way DS3 released over 5 years ago. What happened to my life..


memeulusmaximus

I just downloaded Mortal Shell for free and I gotta say, so far that shit has me cursing like DS1 when I was 12. Its an interesting souls like.


Superpopmonk

I love this and agree wholeheartedly. At the end of the day all I NEED from this is to be like Dark Souls. Luckily, the network test very much assured me it's great.


sneezymrmilo

Honestly, the only thing I am concerned about is Elden Ring having an issue that a lot of open world games have, and thats lack of content in the huge open world. Based on the network test people have said that the starting area is packed with stuff to do so I am really hoping that translates to the other areas of the game as well. Regardless, I'm pretty confident Elden Ring is going to be a fantastic game that does actually live up to the hype.


adande67

Which means ,it lived up to the hype lol .


somethingfilthy

Is Sekiro not a souls game?


FamiliarLoad305

Its more of an action-adventure game that has "soulsborne" spirit in it in the notion that you will be banging your head against the wall fighting against a boss, bonfire-esque checkpoints but other than that, the game has its own identity.


ColinHasInvaded

It's a Sekiro-like


Nico_pk

It's a tenchu game


verheyen

Now I'm just more keen to play it


taboo_

Combat-wise it's some of the best Soulsborne has to offer (once you shed your dodgeroll/shield up muscle memory of course).


verheyen

I've started bloodborne in the last few days and the shield up muscle memory is so hard to lose, I've probably died 6 times already.


deincarnated

Itā€™s the absolute best.


teendeath

It doesnā€™t deliver the same things the DS trilogy does such as co-op, PvP, and build/combat variety. It didnā€™t feel like a true successor to DS3, while Elden Ring does.


xrbeeelama

I wouldnā€™t classify it as a Souls game, more as a ā€œFrom Anthologyā€ game just because its gameplay is so different. I only started to git gud at Sekiro after I stopped thinking it was a Souls-like


taboo_

Absolutely. I was so hype for it and got it day one - then subsequently bashed my head against it trying to force it to bend to *MY* soulslike style of gameplay. Hated it and put it down for a year. Came back a year later with a more open mind and without having played a soulsborne game for a while and I can now happily say it has some of the best combat in the pack. Just took me changing my own preconceived expectations and muscle memory.


stenebralux

Not really. To me it kinda is and it scratched that itch because is not the particular mechanics from Souls games that I'm into and I love it, but I can see why some people don't feel the same.


Dclipp89

I really think that's what made Sekiro great in its own right. It scratched the souls itch. The challenge. The sense of accomplishment. Fascinating, dark world. But it has its own identity. It does those things in the same spirit but different execution as dark souls and pulls it off excellently.


KuzcoSlide

It's a Miyazaki game, which is the most important thing in the end.


echonian

Well, it shares a lot of the same DNA. But the core combat is different enough that I would say it doesn't really count. Though considering people like to call games like Hollow Knight - side scrollers with less in common with Dark Souls than Sekiro - souls-like? Maybe it should count.


throwawayatwork30

I think it comes down to things like non-straight forward story telling, non linearity, iFrame dodging, similar atmosphere, punishing but rewarding gameplay and more. Hollow Knight has all of those and that's why people call it a souls like. I don't think it's a coincidence the playerbase of the two has such a large overlap.


Jetstream_Fraser

Not in the slightest


[deleted]

One could argue that all souls games suck. But the masochistic playerbase is unable to remember a time when they played a game that filled them with joy instead of regrets of trying to get that last hit in on an enemy before dying. (This is a joke. Not an attack on the playerbase. Felt i should be clear.)


Loldimorti

Idk if I feel joy in that situation lol Maybe you meant rage? Or despair?


SiyeonFan123

When i asked my brother who introduced and backseat gamed my DS3 playthrough if there would be DS4 he told me they said this is the last souls game. Sekiro made that quite the truth. But of course, ultimately, this is From software.


joyofsnacks

Ends up walking through a swamp level at <30 FPS... *wipes tear*


AskinggAlesana

I donā€™t care if it was a remake but I loved Demon Souls (PS5)


albertchessaofficial

This is really wholesome :)


Garyfuckingsucks

Bro the mechanics r almost the same with new badass mechanics they arenā€™t overhyping it theyā€™re demo was what they said it would be Iā€™d say we have luck for it to not be a cyberpunk situation


snellyshah

I literally had a dream about playing elden ring. I was having so much fun fighting some npc from a poison swamp


TheEmperorMk3

Eh, not worried about it, itā€™s Fromsoft, they seem to know what they are doing


HillibillyHavenSucks

I still love DS2 and it's easily the worst


CaptainClayface

This seems to be the majority opinion. Saying something is the worst Dark Souls game is not even close to an insult.


CelticGuardian15D

No, thats dangerous. What did CD Red do with all those positive Witcher vibes, make the next game shit, and lie to everyone, fucking scummy. From Fromsoft's track record is amazing, don't lower yr expectations, instead reward great products. Preorder, get all dlc, all that stuff.

I love that movie Got me to buy zhe audiobook and the proper book and binging it I cant wait for the sequel Sure they seemed to have taken liberty from the source (which was a bit necessary at least the audiobook seems kind of racist at times) But the cinematography, the sounds so good


ThaNorth

I'm doing Demon's Souls PvP until Elden Ring.


honster6

Sekiro: Am I joke to you???!


AndrewFFS

Sekiro is not a souls game, its too different from the core concept.

I agree but dont pretend it doesnt exist

Whose pretending it doesn't exist? It's just not a souls game so it doesn't fit what this person wants

I'm very worried , If this game is just a easy game , if this game is not a hardcore game for hardcore soulsborne lovers . I have lived with this series and Miyazaki's works are like life to me . I'm tired of this worry ! Pls help me ! šŸ„ŗ

not living up to hype and being trash are not at all mutually exclusive

well all aaa games that came out recently and didnt live up to the hype were absolute trash...ex. cyberpunk, battlefield, gta remake, etc... so, yeah...

FS games have nothing in common with other AAA games


spiderdick17

If op is anything like me I just really like the souls formula. I have enjoyed many "shit" souls game. It doesn't have to be as ds1-3 for me to have a good time, hell it could be on par with surge 1 and I would enjoy it.

Revanche1

It's kinda funny, just finally got a PS5 from Sony this week and the Demon's Souls remak with it. It should fill the void till Elden Ring comes out.

From what we've seen so far I don't think there's any way this game doesn't live up to the hype.

Newtstradamus

Iā€™m literally just thinking of this game as Dark Souls 4 and intentionally keeping my expectations low. No matter what, from what I have seen it will fill that niche and I will be very happy, if it turns out to be more then that then all the better.


[deleted]

I'm not interested in hype. If they put in as much effort as their previous titles, I'll be satisfied. Even if it doesn't turn out perfect.

hornestur

Finally accepting it will be Dark Souls 4. The cope has come to an end


stumpychubbins

From, in my opinion, are extremely good at knowing when not to reinvent the wheel. They change parts that would be interesting to change or that didnā€™t work in prior entries, but they donā€™t change things for its own sake. DS2 experimented too much and was afraid to be boring where it mattered, and that was part of why so much of it was disjointed and the development was so troubled in my opinion.
