Help us pick the next Bonfireside Chat game!
🕑 Added 2020-02-14 01:26:11 +0000 UTCHello there, it's time for us to pick the game we will cover after King's Field. We've come up with four options that provide a wide gamut of topics. These games vary wildly in length, so different games will require different numbers of episodes to cover. We have a little time to make this choice, so the deadline for responding is Saturday, February 29.
The candidates will be listed in alphabetical order.
Ashen is a stylish open world Souls-inspired game from 2018.
Daughters of Ash is a comprehensive mod that revises Dark Souls with new lore, questlines, bosses, and enemies.
Eternal Ring is a FromSoft game from the PS2 launch era that follows in the footsteps of King's Field and Shadow Tower.
The Surge is a 2017 sci-fi Soulslike created by the Lords of the Fallen team, with combat that places a heavy emphasis on limb dismemberment.
Cast your vote by chosing an option below. We thank you for your support!

WOW

A friend of mine streamed some of Daughters of Ash. I couldn't remember that they renamed the bottom of Blighttown to "The Fetid Slagmire" so I kept referring to it as The Scrungulous Bungulous.
Brian Perkins
The surge is so mediocre.

Eternal Ring is extremely underrated imo, one of my all time favourite games
Jeremy
I'm good with Eternal Ring or Surge but voted for the Surge because Bryan Wade told me to vote for Eternal Ring
thelorehunter
I threw my vote for Eternal Ring to motivate me to play it, but I also look forward to hearing you guys cover Ashen and The Surge at some point, as I think those will spark some interesting discussions.

Eternal Ring is the rightful heir!
Bryan Wade
32% of you should be ashamed!!!
Bryan Wade
Imagine voting for The Surge when Eternal Ring is available.

'The Surging Daughters of the Eternal Ashen Ring' would be a great title, possibly, maybe
Andy Ward
Can we make this caucus style and do a realignment after the first round?!?!
Mai Sinclair
If you vote for daughters of ash, you are a cop.
Joelle
who’s voting for the surge? Ashen is so much better, ah well
Drew Edgar
Of all the Soulslikes I’ve played, Ashen comes the closest to actually “getting it.” It’s not a perfect game but I really dug the world design and atmosphere, and I think it would make for some good BSC content.
Travis Low
It is so clear now that democracy is broken...therefore, Ashen should be considered the true winner. :D
Terra Parker
Especially with how the creator billed it as "not a difficulty hack" like buddy, you need to get opinions from people besides LobosJr before you say that
Adam Bucceri
I don't really get why people love DoA. While it's interesting to reshape the routing through the game, do we need EVERY SINGLE boss to be ultra-hard-mode? I got to the triple-cat-monster fight at Artorias' grave and said "Actually, fuck this."
Sigmond
Super hopeful that Ashen Ring can stage an 11th hour come back!
Craig Newton
I bounced off the Surge... then bounced off it again... then again. I would love to hear Kole and Gary either commiserate with me or convince me to try it one more time.
Brad Gallaway
The Surge gets my vote. I did not like playing it but some friends tell me the story gets good and Is Worth It, so I'd like y'alls take on it.
JD
Yes! Weird FromSoftware stuff makes for the best episodes.
Liam Sweeney
It is soul crushing to see that The Surge is winning... Eternal Ring sounds like an amazing episode. The Surge episode would be boring, kinda like the Lords of the fallen episodes...
Demicol
I bounced off Surge 1 but I really liked 2, so I would honestly suggest playing that one instead.
Arik Sheets
I liked the Surge quite a bit, but I think the Surge 2 is WAY better. Gary will probably hate it though. Not enough variation in the environments
Rachel Johnson
I would really like to hear you guys talk about Ashen. It's a really pretty game, and I enjoyed playing it a lot. Unfortunately, it looks like The Surge is going to sweep this poll.
Jeffrey Carter
Ashen!
Zack Handlen
I picked Eternal Ring, but The Surge might be fun--it gets a little same-y, but I think the combat is pretty good.
Christian S
I'm picking Eternal Ring for me rather than you, haha. I hear it's not great but I'd love to enjoy it vicariously through you rather than playing it myself ;-)
Terra Parker
Kinda want to hear you both gripe about DoA, because tbh I was pretty disappointed in it myself after all the hype
Adam Bucceri
Hell, I just want more weird FROM games. They have an extremely odd catalogue.
Josh Gill
The Surge was good!
Eric Nagurney
Pushing for Eternal Ring because I want y'all to cover every single RPG-adjacent FromSoft game.
Randall
Jedi Fallen Order:P
Adam Bucceri
I'm going to assume The Surge is competent but dull. Between Nioh and Lords of the Fallen, I can't imagine it will be markedly different from those observations. Though I've heard The Surge 2 is... more interesting at least.
Mike Suskie
The first Surge isn't great, but the second one is probably the best non-FromSoft 3D Soulslike I've ever played (not that there are many good ones to begin with). So I'm voting for The Surge just so you can get to the second one more quickly :)
Julia
I am excited that I can look forward to the Ashen season of BSC in 5 years after Bloodborne 2
Frank Horrigan
Bummed Surge is winning. It's such a meh game.
Brian Perkins
The surge is not very good. There you go, it's been covered.
