Probably. I played the PS3 Demon's Souls, and loved it. After that I played Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Both are great games, but they gave me diminishing returns. I am an odd duck though. I get bored well before most people. It seems like if a new game blows me away, the sequels never hit the same fever pitch. But if the first game is solid and has potential, I get excited for what the sequel COULD be. It's unfair because the potential always excites me. It can be anything. Where the reality can't compare with endless possibilities.
With the clones, I generally feel like others. They just don't measure up to FS. And I have no interest in playing a bunch of 'not bad'. And that goes for all media; games, movies, music. I would rather have fewer experiences that I love, as opposed to a bunch of passable attempts. I waters down everything... at least for me. But that's the world we live in now; or have for the past decade or two.
Really, the only game o would like to see with Souls combat would be an MMO. Running headlong into battle with a 100 vs 100 armored up nutjobs sounds pretty fun. Pair that with some dynamic creature spawns. Like a goblin goes into an empty cave, and over time has a random chance to spawn more goblins. If left undisturbed they would spawn different types of goblin, like warriors, shamans, chieftains, etc. They would turn the cave into a goblin den, filled with gobliny stuff. And once they grow to a large enough size, send out warbands. God, I'm getting so hard.
But as far as standard Souls, yeah I'm bored.
