    [​IMG]Lords of the Fallen is heavily inspired by Dark Souls, and some may even say it's a clone. Well Games Radar has a new article about why Dark Soul fans should embrace it.

    It's easy to get upset when you perceive something as 'ripping off' a thing that you love. Offended or angry, even. People get really attached to the stuff they like. They integrate it into their identity, and form a degree of their self-perception around it. Thus, if it feels like something is copying that stuff, then it also feels like that something is encroaching upon one's personal being. Even threatening to take something away by diluting the specialness of the original thing.

    All of which psycho-rambling leads me on to Lords of the Fallen, the upcoming action-RPG from CI Games and Square-Enix. As you might already be aware, Lords is very much, very openly inspired by--amongst other games--Dark Souls. As a long-time Souls fan myself, I initially felt a slight knee-jerk. I'd put over 100 hours into the first game, so naturally I was a little protective of it. But then I played Lords of the Fallen, and stopped worrying.​
