The very core idea behind the conception of Elden Ring: Night Reign is flawed; loop-based games like roguelikes completely break the magic of FromSoftware's formula. It feels like a bundle of mods that quickly loses its charm due to repetitiveness—and that's if you're playing with someone who knows what they're doing; if not, the experience gets much worse.
Fromdrones taste the bitter pill of a flop while Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remains king of the genre.
Pretty sure Nightreign outsold Flopbirth on release.
No beach scene = No buy
I'm having a blast
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remains king of the genre.
nice try squeenix fag, e33 clears it
and? mcdonalds outsells quality food every day
i mean the roll slop ius fine in a context like elden ring and other soulslikes but when it's the focus of your game? it's really not that great, like it's not horrible but you don't really play elden ring JUST for the combat.
It's kinda like Darkest Dungeon 2, DD1 combat is amazing in DD1 not so much when you try to make a roguelike.
Are we going back to our roots?
fromsoft had a good run, time to pack it up fellas
OOOOOOOO I'M BLASTIN' ON THE ROOTS
Are we going back to our roots?
YES NO MAYBE
I DON'T KNOW
Shhh, don't tell them.
Is there ANY chance you aren't buying a Switch 2? This reeks of damage control.
got my refund
it's trash
I bet you wouldn't have made this thread had it been a Switch 2 exclusive.
Who unironically even remember what Rebirth is at this point? The king's dead Jim.
That's... not a very high bar.
Nightreign isn't a very good game.
didn't rebirth sell like 2 million units lifetime?
kek imagine thinking that flop is the "king" of anything
shit game vs shit game
oh the drama

I agree, but you retards called Dark souls 3 good! That whole game is literally roll spam . WHERES THE FROMSOFT MAGIC?
Controversial take: there i no Fromsoft magic.
Dark Souls became popular solely on "gamer rep". It did nothing that hadn't been done before. Bloodborn was only known for NEVER EVER posting. Elden Ring was journo bait.
There was never any magic.
loop-based games like roguelikes completely break the magic of FromSoftware's formula.
Crazy how people want From Software to only make one game and literally nothing else.
Turns out they aren't capable of making anything else, so that's fitting.
Counterpoint: The Fromsoft magic is putting you into shitty, obtuse, environmental based challenges.
ie Blight town descent/Acid Labyrinth
i'd also add:
Demons' Souls only became popular retroactively, and was a flop mostly overlooked on the original PS3.
I can't believe the only good Elden Ring boss besides Messmer is stuck in a 40$ Fornite DLC, Heolstor looks like a fun version of Malenia
DS3 is great.
I keep forgetting that this is a thing.
I always mix this up with that Switch 2 exclusive that's also a poorly thought-out multiplayer-only FromSoft game. What's that called again?
That's called Duskbloods, and it'll flop too.
to be defeated by SE of all things
I rolled your 8 hit combo and got tagged by your broken hitbox grab. Wow so great, lemme try a different weapon... OH WAIT THEYRE ALL THE SAME. Lemme try different Armor... OH WAIT THE EXTRA 4% ABSORBTION DOES HELP. Lemme level up... OH WAIT SOFT CAPS KICKED IN HARD AT 40 points.
Inexcusable liquid dogshit, just make an action game or dont. Dark souls 3 is bad at everything it does
this shit probably had a budget of like two noodle cups so the idea of it flopping is laughable
That's a very nice cope. Lift it directly from Rebirth?
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remains king of the genre
The loop-based roguelike genre?
i think he means jrpg
Did anyone actually expect it to be good though?
Final Fantasy isn't a JRPG.
apologize
if we can't agree on what basic terminology means i don't think we need to have a conversation
Neither is any Fromsoft game. What is this retarded thread even?
series known for being what is essentially a more methodical, hardcore 3D metroidvania
turn it into actual fortnite slop
Quite literally who asked for this?
Lol this is so dumb considering that the Nightrein formula actually WORKS with open world, unlike Fromsoft one. Like FR only open world worse than in ER is in GTAs
what conversation? the OP's claim is clearly bait
The only game I have more hours in than DS2 is Elden Ring and ONLY because it's bloated
I want to go back
SLOP ME UP
Looking at how Fromsoft treats all their old IPs, it's actually not that surprising.
Churn out as many sequels as possible to get the most bang out of assets
Go crazy experimental with spinoffs that use the same engine
No that's the start of a review of the new Elden Ring game.
Go crazy experimental with spinoffs that use the same engine
Yes, but in reality, no.
Chick-fil-A outsells McDonald's, so cream rises to the top.
SLOP ME DOWN
Yes and those parts are always the best parts of their games. Fast travel killed Souls.
Should have made Armored Core 6.5 lol
i fucking wish nightreign was fortnite slop
this is a moba without pvp,
learn the map
know the optimal order for objectives
if you don't farm enough before the time limit you just lose and you can't pause for anything
SLOP ME ALL AROUND
