What went so horribly right?

>>712802265 (OP)
People who know they wouldn't like it don't buy it, and thus don't contribute to reviews.

>>712802301
Damn, guess lots of people misclicked on the "buy DD2" button, uh...
Hate when that happens.

>>712802593
DD2 was unfortunately both a disappointing game to fans of the first but also heavily marketed to people outside its target demographic who got memed into thinking it was an Elden Ring killer or whatever. Also it ran like absolute shit and we know that heavily influences Steam reviews.

>>712802265 (OP)
it's not dogshit dying competitive game also most of the playerbase is on PS4-5

>>712802593
a common blunder, a gaffe if you will

>>712802301
>>712802593
It's a fat-finger world, I'm afraid

>>712802265 (OP)
they happened

>>712803651
How did they do it? What's the secret formula?

>>712802265 (OP)
uhhh the 'cord won't like this thread...

Revy, lay off the runes...

>if the reviews are positive: game is shit because no one who would dislike it played it
>if the reviews are negative: game is shit because duh, the reviews are negative
classic catch 22 of retardation

>>712804439
I noticed they have been less vocal since Israel has been busy with Iran

>>712802265 (OP)
filtered players are gone

>>712802593
DD2 was the complete opposite.
the people who hated it most were fans of the first game who had actual expectations for it, and most of the people who liked it were people who bought into the hype and went in blind with zero expectations from not having played the previous game

>>712802265 (OP)
Shitters got filtered, so the average player is much better at the game, so queuing with randoms is now bearable.

>>712805748
is it bad if this makes my mouth water?

>>712802265 (OP)
I disliked ER, but I'm now unironically thinking about buying this one.

>>712802669
DD1 fans tricked the internet into thinking it was this super polished hidden gem when in reality it was a complete jankfest which was appealing to certain types of autistic fans of scuffed RPGs (like me)

>>712802265 (OP)
They bought positive reviews

>>712808754
Why didn't Capcom boughtered them too? >>712802593 >>712803608

>>712802265 (OP)
Fromsissies are fucking retarded
That is literally it
Like nintardo or Lizzard before, From finally realized that their consumerbase is absolute fucking retards that will eat up anything

>>712808967
FromGODS own your mind, along with the entire cranium

>>712802265 (OP)
Nightreign has been more fun than any souls game post DaS1.

ftfy

LOL

>>712808967
Basically this. All the normalfags with absolute shit taste who misunderstood what these games were all about bought NR under the pretence of it being good. NR was like the final straw for me, that showed me they are never going to improve their games nor go on about an interesting direction. This is simply the worst possible direction they could have taken which was basically an insult to the actual fans yet it’s still working out for them because Fromsloppers are equivalent to Nintendies in being careless and irresponsible consumer retards,

>>712811473
and these games are about?

>>712808967
>>712811473
More discord tranny copium like this, please. I love it.

>>712811473
I definitely agree with you. Elden Ring and SotE don’t even feel like authentic and genuine games in the slightest either. This is when the red flags started manifest themselves.

They are essentially following generic formulaic milestones where they prioritize the most popular aspects about these games based on what the marketing team found about on their researches. It looks like they are going to double down on that by incorporating more popular formulas from other games in the market this time.

>>712811473
You clearly have autism so I know this is a difficult concept, but have you ever considered that it's possible other people might just like different things than you do?

>>712811779
Exploration, serene and mystical atmosphere, good level design, interesting encounters, engaging boss battles and memorable characters. All of those traits are either missing or watered down in ER and SotE.

>>712811965
That’s some pitiful remark and projection. People are of course allowed like different things but if you are literally slurping on faeces then people will call you out on that since it’s a disgusting habit to eat faeces.

>>712808816
Buying the needed +10% to get from mixed to positive allows for more plausible deniability

>>712811473
>>712811927
Did you miss the fact that this was specifically someone else's project, intended to try new ideas (multiplayer, movement, abilities ...) that was so clearly marketed as not a traditional soulslike people thought it was a battle royale?

>>712812304
Why would they care about that when mindbroken /v/ermin are going to say they bought reviews anyway no matter what?

>>712812138
>>712812304
Keep 'em coming like this, I need more.

>>712802265 (OP)
It's a decent proof of concept, needs another map and some more weapons and variations
It really helps that it's $40, 50% of a AAA release lmao

>>712812438
Is that an excuse to make such a travesty of a game though? Like is this the best the other directors would come up with? I am not even against From trying out new things but seriously, a rouge-like with 95% assets being reused from other games and an encapsulating force zone from Fortnite? Is that really the best they could have come up with as a side project?

>>712802797
>most of the playerbase is on PS4-5
lol
lmao

>>712812589
You are so low IQ, not even worth to insult

>>712802265 (OP)
im just done with elden ring now, not even interested in another dlc.

>>712812589
>bloodborne out of nowhere
Rent-free.

>>712812667
Give up, man. These people are honestly very half-witted to even grasp how a quality game should be like. They are merely mindless consumers and brand worshippers. It would be foolish to expect any nuanced discussion from such people.

>>712812138
I guess it depends on how you're defining all this because ER checks every box.

>>712811965
Of course people like different things. Mostly shit though. And no I'm not saying Nightreign is shit, it's just that it lacks unique ideas and soul in general that made DeS and DS1 so special. It's like they're going the safest route possible to make revenue

>>712812739
>>712812945

Nightreign is a cashgrab spinoff. The fact that it even turned out to be moderately fun is a surprise. I'm curious about their next actual main project

>>712813539

Bloodsnoys successfully NOIDED and buckbroken. You love to see it.

deserved for fucking up dragon ligma , being mosnter slop and denuvo

>game has eight bosses
>multiple rotating map events
>eight classes each with their own story and cut scenes
>game added new player abilities that change the game so much that people can't imagine going back and playing base elden ring without them
>playing with randos can be hit or miss but for the most part isn't that bad
The game is good, its just missing some quality of life features.

>>712813725
a switch 2 game with retarded tarkov design and no offline mode

>>712814195

this but unironically, they literally threw DD2 under the bus to make space for Milds

>>712814751
it really is as simple as that, but contrarian /v/ermin refuse to understand this

>>712814851
it was more fun when the dog was a filter and keeping retards out of my runs

>>712815001
Yeah you can really tell who kept getting giga-carried until victory and now they're poisoning the end game bosses well.

>>712812438
>try new ideas
You mean ripping off fortnite?

>>712814851
Gladius? I can't even get past the Fell Omen fight.

damn I wish I was as cool as wylder. knight people are so cool.

It is almost impossible to beat Gnoster (the moth and bug duo) with randos, I can carry retards and defeat anything else but the shitty magic bomber moth burns out noob flasks and revives like crazy while they do no damage.

>>712815641
this whore needed his own pathetic bossfight after radahn like the real king allant where you basically walk over his dying, crawling body, they had the chance to make true kino and refused

>>712802265 (OP)
It's funny how I used to chain loose the first week of release.
Now, loosing is almost rare and it's not like i'm 15 for every win. People know how to play, that's great. And you can quickly see which game you'll loose.
I've yet to have a game with duplicate characters though, that's a bit of a shame.

>>712813698
Pretty sure you have to beat 4 unique nightlords.

>>712815998
It should have been like that plus him having a blowjob invitation grab attack that instadefeats male Tarnished

>>712812667
While it does lack the interest of ds1, bloodborne or elden ring It's still a fun game, so I say it does succeed at being an interesting side project though 60 bucks is definitely too much for it in its current state.

>>712812969
It's not a soulful release but it definitely makes a better job at being aside project that dark souls 3 did at being a mainline project, with its shit and piss color palette, bug riddled pvp, constant nostalgia wanks and linearity. From does not release "quality" game in the sense great artworks are of quality, they release fun games with sometimes enough eccentricity and detailed aspects to become truly great

>>712815641
just go ironeye and kill the moth?

>>712806306
i thought er was decent but didn't play it as much as other from games
but nightreign has me hooked
it's so damn fun because there's never any downtime for travel, leveling, or anything like that; it's just constant
really hope they keep updating it because I think it has massive potential to be the shakeup (by borrowing battle royale mechanics ironically) that the formula has needed

Not a big fan of from soft games, played most of them but never actually finished any because I always kinda get bored before the end
Sekiro is the exception, I loved it and finished it mutliple times in a row
Took a risk with Nightreign and I'm having fun with it, reminds me of Risk of Rain 2 a bit, plus I can easily try different builds instead of having to invest a 100h playthrough into a build
My big gripe with it for now is there's only one map, might get repetitive soon but shifting earths aleviate the problem a bit

>>712802669
>DD2 was unfortunately both a disappointing game to fans of the first but also heavily marketed to people outside its target demographic who got memed into thinking it was an Elden Ring killer or whatever.
At first I thought you were talking about Darkest Dungeon 2 before you mentioned Elden Ring lol

>>712802265 (OP)
Fromslop consumers will consume any slop and love it.
