Nothing.

unironically nintendo

demon souls was a fluke, dark souls 1 was the finished game, and everything since then has been a mistake.

Leaned too heavily into i frame rolls

this desu

creative bankruptcy, hot off the heels of their biggest success they just thought fuck it, the fans will just eat shit on a plate if we serve it to them.

making the same game over and over again but instead of getting shited on like EA with Fifa or Blizzard with COD they got praised and sucked off by everyone

they made a tremendous amount of money making the types of games they enjoy which makes the average Anon Babble shitposter seethe

When they stopped making horror games and made rollslop instead
Most people literally think their first game was souls

Estus flask bullshit ruined the series.

Wrong

Never made sequels to Mirakumo, Frame Gride, Eternal Ring or Chromehounds

Nothing, they're letting their teams work on 2 different online games while the core team starts early work on their next big game. It's just filler games because the game you really care about won't be ready for like 3-4 more years.

fag detected

based

fpbping yourself is pretty cringe and I wouldn't be surprised if you replied to yourself

dark souls 1 was the finished game

Went away from interesting level/dungeon designs with learning curve challenges to dodge roll spam slop against oversized bosses with flashy anime attacks that force you to idle around or roll spam to finally get the opportunity to deal some damage. Going from Dark Souls to Elden Ring was a whiplash of going from peak to trash. It was an experience I wont forget.

They never went to hard

They were never good

Well, we don’t know what they’ve got in the works that they haven’t revealed. I think it would be silly for either of the two multiplayer projects they’re working on to be the main event. To be honest, the trailer for the Switch game started to look very interesting until I realized it was just a multiplayer game, which makes me think they still have some creativity up their sleeves regarding character design and settings. Only time will tell when we see their next single player game.

too much success

No DLC for AC6

They went mainstream.

Went right for them as they are making lots of money. Went wrong for the industry as everyone wants to become a souls-like now.

Cries in Lost Izalith

Nothing went wrong for them, sadly it went wrong for Anon Babble as we're forced to endure the ds2 autists

they were influenced by Bandai Namco

Flanderized their own formula

Nothing. Anon Babble is just filled with casuals that got filtered by Margit. If you go back to when Elden Ring was released you can see the absolute cope and seethe he caused

instead of getting shited on like EA with Fifa or Blizzard with COD

dumb comparison, there's like 30 COD games and 40 FIFA games, while From has made only 6 games that can be considered "the same"

Pandering to americans and casual shitters

All those icons they ruined the map of elden ring with

Spit

there's way more than 6 armored core games

They got too popular so all the faggot contrarians that flock to this shithole cry about them non-stop every day.

nobody gives a shit about AC games, not even about the one that came out at the peak of From's popularity, so it's like they don't even exist

What they did right is joining Nintendo.

They're gonna give it their all with the next one. Basically giving the Switch 2 a Killer App

damn, they made a lot of games for a series nobody cares about

yeah they have to thank Myiazaki for saving their ass or they would have gone down under a long time ago

You mean Miura? Considering the Soul Series rips off Berserk alot.

if only we had a good Berserk game instead of some legally distinct bullshit "inspired" by it

miyazaki is a one trick pony
tanimura didn't get the time or resources to perfect the genre
they will never innovate cause stagnation gave them success

To be fair he had the moveset of a late game boss in an early game area the only thing holding him back were his stats. He was overtuned on purpose to force players into exploring the world.

I have no sympathy for all the golems that could go anywhere they wanted in an open world game and yet decided to immediately follow the suggested path.
I, a real gamer, naturally ended up doing the whole weeping peninsula and other parts of Limgrave before ever setting foot in the castle, so I ended up first-trying margit with my trusty claymore

Nothing. They are continually iterating on a genre they more or less started, and the results are stellar. Like it or not elden ring was a good direction to take the genre after DaS3 felt like the wrung everything they could out of it. From even brought back armored core, which I liked a lot.
They are stepping into some shady territory with these mp focused projects, but no real reason to be too negative just yet.

you can only sell the same thing so many times

continually iterating

and by iterating you mean adding nothing, 1+0 = 1.
elden ring is literally just dark souls 3 copy pasted 50x

Severe fromtranny cope
