    I find it extremely weird that they reused the name 'lords of the fallen'. The idea is of course that you'll sell more copies because people remember the original fondly. But the thing is, not many people liked the original 'lords of the fallen' very much, people called it clunky and so on. Either you forgot about it or you remember it being not very good. And yet I caught myself somewhat anticipating the release. It must mean that they significantly improved, right? Oh, it's from a completely new developer. Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess our advanced monkey neurons just kinda activate when seeing something having the same title as something that came before, Idk

    My memories of the time had LOTF sit in this weird space where it was commended for being one of the firsts to try compete with Dark Souls and the effort was commendable even if the game was a little below average. The Surge was what I saw people get real sour on, since LOTF was kinda easy to cheese whereas The Surge was full of unbelievable bullshit. The Surge 2 is when people finally warmed up to these guys again, it seemed like they were actually learning lessons so for anyone who remembers the first LOTF, LOTF 2023 is like that shit local team who finally got a decent coach and upped their fitness and now they're back to face off against the guys who embarrassed them early in their career. It's hard not to root for these guys, but I'd personally we rather all learn the other cool lessons Dark Souls taught back in the day. Intricate level design, considered bosses, environmental storytelling, and the concept of "tough but fair". Even FromSoft doesn't remember that last one, sometimes, I'm tired of bosses with seemingly endless combos and a one hit opening

    It's so weird in this case, because I think usually companies make sequels to exploit the audience's established trust, or they'll reboot a franchise in hopes to attracting that huge audience of the franchises golden age, that got investors so much profit and so many jets and cars and yachts. In this case though, it doesn't make any sense from a marketing perspective (which keeps taking over more and more the decision making process of not just video game, but media companies in general). It almost seems like the publisher is somehow really invested in the idea of this game or at least its name... Or maybe they're too uncreative to think of a new name for their second try? I really can't think of any other reason to reuse a title of a game that most people never knew, forgot or hated, and only like 5 people probably liked
