But haven't you guys all heard! Dark Souls is its own genre!!
...Ugh. This just annoys me, like what does Dark Souls do soooo differently to the action RPG genre that constitutes calling every copycat game after a "Souls-Like"?
It's like if Halo fans started calling every game that tried to copy its success a "Halo-Like" or hell, for all the MMOs that get accused of copying WoW, I've never heard the term "WoW-like"
