Prologue with the MC and his little sister playing in pond. Sister gets dragged under by pic related. Drowns. Days later goes back for revenge killing pic related. Mechanics like Shadow of the Collosus allows boy to get dragged under, stab, and go up for air when needed.

Boy kills first monster. Becomes fascinated with such beasts, figuring they can only get bigger in bigger waters. First real mission is a lake. Quite bigger monster, quite deeper depth. Water is murkier so harder to see it coming. Kill it with onlookers cheering. Become friends with one who happens to have a boat.

He takes you to a nearby fisherman's wharf, where you hear tales of a monster. Kill it. Gain fame. More dire missions start picking up with the fame.

Would you play?

Cool concept
Our hero then finds himself struggling with his new found fame, how he abandoned his family and lost his sister. He becomes jaded, allowing people to die at the hands of the beasts, projecting his own feelings about his mistakes on humanity as a whole. He learns to command these beasts into doing the dirty work or ridding the world of human filth, with him as their god.

>all these autists making up a shitty story based on their fetishes
You know why i fucking love Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3? Because they don't have a story they got a intro and that looks cool and some cutscenes here and there.

Thats fucking it. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY YOU SUBHUMAN THIRD WOLD FAGS

>>386452206
>Would you play?
Yes. I love both Shadow of the Colossus and the Soulsborne series and I think underwater monsters are such an overlooked concept, especially since many real life deep sea fish are already borderline monsters. We really need a good monster hunter / hack and slash game where you hunt all kinds of terrifying deep sea creatures.

>>386454001

We had Monster Hunter underwater and it was terrible.

I WANNA FUCK A MERMAID

you disgust me

>underwater combat
nah

>>386451631
I just came up with a really good idea but I'm not going to share it because I might be able to make it myself and rake in big bux.

Thanks for the inspiration OP.

>>386455831
you're never going to make it though huh?

>>386451631
>a Soulsbourne
A what now?

>>386455912
a stupid made up genre name like metroidvania
Do people call platformers mario-likes? NO, so what the FUCK is wrong with this community?

>>386456012
If this series actually created the genre then I wouldn't care so much but it existed long before Demon's Souls.

>>386456012
Many genres began like this. FPS games all used to be called "Doom clones" before the term FPS was widely adopted. Calling Soulsbourne games "action adventure games" or "ARPGs" is too vague, just like calling Metroidvania games "2D platformers" isn't descriptive enough either. "Collectathon" is another example of a sort of made-up subgenre for games that are not adequately described with the term "3D platformer".

I think we can come up with a better name than Soulsbourne though, as the Souls series and Bloodbourne were both produced by the same devs at the same time following the same philosophy as Demon's Souls and don't differ very much at all fundamentally. It would be better to call them Soulslikes or something.

>>386451631
As strange as it sounds, I think I'd make it first person. underwater combat that involves both above and below water always struggles with 3rd person cams

>>386456012
>a stupid made up genre name like metroidvania
Soulsborne literally just means Souls series + Bloodborne because people wanted to lump those together. Why are you sperging so much about it? Souls-like on the other hand is a good way to describe games that are, you know, similar to Dark Souls, hence the name. Someone could for example ask for Souls-like games on /v/ and another anon would tell the guy to play Nioh. Don't you think that's handy? Asking just for action RPG recs probably wouldn't get the same result.

>Do people call platformers mario-likes?
No, because Mario games are just basic platforming games. Metroidvania on the other hand refers to a very specific style of gameplay (non-linear 2D platforming / action games with a strong emphasis on backtracking and unlocking new areas with updates that you find by exploring the map). If someone created a platforming game where your characters shouts "WAHOO PING PING" while collecting coins and mushrooms then that would probably a Mario-like, yes.

I am GOING to fuck that fish.

I already fucked that fish, it wasn't that good

I am that fish

>>386451631
How would it work? Being in water limits your potential mobility a lot and I can't imagine a game like that being fun to play.

>>386459625

Is there ANY third person game with good swimming combat?

Maybe the battles could take place on the sea/lake floor?

>>386451631
>Video game
>Water
>Water boss
You're a pretty funny guy op

i mean why not stick to basics? why does something new need to be labeled as a derivative of another unrelated game?
i'm pretty sure terms like "soulslike", "soulsborne", or "ADJ. souls" are already set in stone and will be how publishers/developers try to market their games anyways

>>386457115
>Why are you sperging so much about it?
ehh don't blow things out of proportion

>>386451631
Shadow of the Colossus but in a boat sounds bretty gud.

>>386459625
The only interesting way to do the water combat would be like Shadow of The Colossus or Monster Hunter but shit would get old really fast unless presented and done well

>>386451631
Remove the sea entirely. Have it take place in a barren, post ocean world where the whole thing is like deserts and hidden places beneath the world where people could never reach because of water. Have all the creatures be prior ocean dwellers that have barely adapted themselves to land.

>>386461202

Mad Max had areas like this. Really neat

>>386463301

How the fuck do you even kill that?

1) Make it not Soulsborne
2) Make it good instead
