I think this is somehow bamco's fault. executive meddling is almost always the problem here. besides, you just know that miyazaki won't be around forever, either he'll pull a notch and let some huge company buy him out for a fat juicy retirement or he'll be fired from his station in a sort of hostile takeover type scenario. it's not right to blame fromsoft themselves is what I'm saying. you have to blame corporate interests to some significant extent because they influence what gets made more than you want to admit.

no they actually just realized that their fanbase will pay for, praise and defend literally anything they shit out so they stopped trying. now we have fromdrones defending the bloodborne elden ring asset flip pvp game and elden ring fortnite.

they are cashing in. good for them desu. The "fans" response to ds2 already showed that most people are hyper casual shitters

NOO I DONT HAVE LE HECKIN STAMINA TO ROLL 8 TIMES IN A ROW ITS SO BAD!

at least we got Elden Ring, their magnum opus souls.

I'm ready for small comfy discussion after the other fake fans and shitposters crash out and leave for good.

Ironic...

Shazam lost

"I wish FROM would do games other than Souls!"

I'm sorry I brought this upon everyone.

It doesnt look as good as bloodborne.

They already did, many times.

They never had much of a plot in the first place.

The best part is it's still a souls rehash but even worse because it's multiplayer slop

At least we got AC6

this, they've been spamming the same shit since Demon souls. Since Elden ring, they've started flying too close to the sun with the amount of slop they can put out because they know paypigs will pay

picrel is a AAA game btw.

Anon Babble cries that they're formula got stale and they should make something new

they do

Anon Babble cries that it's not dark souls again

What causes this?

AC6 is one of my favorite games in recent memory. I hope they're still up for a follow up and these are just experiments.

We could have had Dark Souls but with better production value, better magic, and a memorable cast of characters then I would have worshiped them endlessly but unfortunately we live in a shit timeline.

Imagine you're Miyazaki, you hear talk of this co-op mod, you use google translate to log onto this weird gaijin website and you see these DL numbers, and then you have an epiphany about how much money you were leaving on the table, it blows your mind and your business strategy is changed forever.

From Software games

plot

Huh?

based

fromdrone.jpg - 2512x2596, 1.78M

makes one multiplayer game

lost the plot

When did gaymers become so arrogant? It wasn't like that before

'one'

They've completely lost it

It's 2 games already, retard. Nightreign + Duskbloods. Both are live service.

Remember when Bethesda made only one (Fallout 76) and people shat on them for years? But I guess it's fine when From does literally anything. They also announced literal horse armor DLC for Elden Ring today lmao

they need a tard wrangler
every game other than sekiro was unfinished and/or completely phoned in

this was the pivotal moment that people began to turn on fromsoft

There was never a plot according to Anon Babbletards

No
It's my fault
I had ignored the series until about a year and a half ago, but then a friend had me play it, and I started enjoying it.
It's my fault, because things I like specifically die before my eyes, over and over again.
I apologize to the entire fandom, my getting interested has doomed you all.

unironically probably this.

the failure of DS2 was the ultimate death of souls.

as much as i still personally think Bloodborne is the closest thing to ds1, and despite me not trusting my own opinion on DS2 even though i went easier on the criticism than most people, after watching domo's take down of mauler i can't help but imagine that despite how strongly i tried to stamp out those narratives, the subconsciously consumed me nonetheless.

In many respects DS2 is not JUST the closest thing to DS1. But is like a fanatical interpretation of ds1 (and demon souls)

-Greater Stamina Punishments
-Longer Estus time
-Tighter roll window
-Have to manually aim direction of weapon slash
-Enemies are Anti Back Stab

In a vacuum I would consider all of these pure improvements to counter some of the more abusable aspects of DS1.

But alas, we don't exist in a vacuum, and DS1 was good enough anyway. And despite DS2 actually being way more non linear than DS1, its level design is worse because level design isn't about non linearity.

Also estus management is fucked by life gems, and bonfire distance is inconsistent but still better than DS3

DS2 was max casul though. You literally got an i-frame stat in that game.

Enjoy your tariffs :)

for me it was this video permanently ruining souls lore discussion forever.

syncretism bad

throw out everything you've learned every single game

treat these extremely similar games as completely different with nothing in common

same dude. I started playing these games in 23 with a friend and yes it died just like that. we both cursed this company. don't worry Anon I don't blame you, its not our fault we like things

It's depressing. At least they had a good run.

That's like a bs joke, US will pay the tariff and will suffer to pay it.

vaati-stans literally ruined all hope for people taking anything seriously.

What's Miyazaki up to these days? Is he really involved with these slopgames?

he's directing duskblood

Now that Froms dead, are there ANY good AAA devs?

fromsoft has never made an AAA game

Elden Ring is obviously AAA.

Larian

not really, it doesn't have the production values or budget to qualify for AAA, at least not by the standards of its release year, nevermind the shit ton of reused assets

this gets shown

pcfags and snoys start port begging

later turns out it's a PvPvE nightreign resuing assets from either Blodborne 2 or scrapped content from Elden Ring

port begging immediately stops

Miyazaki brings up fucking Tarkov as an inspiration for 'online features'

This has been the funniest 180° I've seen in a while

What've they made?

Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 1/2

Fromsloppers are waking up to the fact Fromslop has always been slop

tendies are having to face the reality that Jewtendo is the biggest jew in gaming

It is a blessed day for games

Larian is even less AAA than fromsoft, who are not AAA

Now that Froms dead

They aren't dead, they're just selling out a lil bit. I guarantee Elden Ring 2 is still a banger.

sonybros...

plot

zanziland...

soulsborne and battle royale does not mix
