Does fromsoftware remember they can make games that arent the same dodging, swinging heavy clubs bullshit anymore? Seriously, why play any of their souls like games past dark souls 1? Shits getting old man.

>>713062253 (OP)
sekiro? armored core 6?

>>713062431
> Sekiro
Souls like dodging bullshit
> Armored Core 6
Literally darksouls in a mech plus theyve made 5 of them before that.

>>713062253 (OP)
Why would they return to IP that make no money?

>>713062654
Because darksouls will end up like the simpsons.

>>713062253 (OP)
>Seriously, why play any of their souls like games past dark souls 1? Shits getting old man.
Okay, go play something else then, retard. Nobody is forcing you to play games you hate.

>>713062253 (OP)
I want a real Shadow tower sequel. No not Abyss, its dogshit. I want a brutal game that threatens you with getting softlocked even if you play smart. Gets harder when you die.
I have a lot of ideas...

>>713062884
I liked darksouls 1 though, ds2 and 3 werent as good so why would I play them? Its like playing saints row 3 after saintsrow 2, you realize 2 was the best you're gonna get.

Exclusive FromSoft game on Switch... The Cuckbloods

...I wonder

>>713062945
>I liked darksouls 1 though, ds2 and 3 werent as good so why would I play them?
So don't play them retard, nobody is forcing you to. Play what you like and shut the fuck up, faggot.

>>713062998
Pretty funny all the fromfags are gay snoys when the best Fromsoft game was a Gamecube exclusive. It's like poetry.

>>713062253 (OP)
>>713062641
If they made another Kuon game you'd just say they're running out of ideas or you'd point out some mechanic that's in Souls and say it's slop.
Elden Ring came out 4 years ago dumbfuck, they stopped making Dark Souls, no the multiplayer games don't count they are low budget multiplayer games. No one knows what they're doing next but I bet my left nut it won't be a soulslike.

>>713063579
Im asking whats the point of playing them, whats the point of making them besides milking the neckbeard fans.

>>713063879
What's the point of you continuing to breathe, you waste of fucking oxygen? Kill yourself.

my favourite fromsoft game

>>713062253 (OP)
fuck off labeltard, don't act like you're playing "their" back catalog for reasons other than their new games being popular
those people that made the old shit moved on

>>713063848
A new kuon would be better than armored core 7. survival horror has been infested with slop for the past 15 years.

A new IP would be even better.

>>713062253 (OP)

i bet you didn't even know déraciné existed and yet are complaining about fromsoft not making anything else. if they did, you wouldn't buy it, wouldn't care, probably wouldn't even realize it existed. at least they are making games with a modicum more intelligence and creativity than 99% of other major devs out there and aren't shoving in microtransactions and battle passes in milk every last dollar out of their audience.

>>713062945
DS1 is literally the worst in the series and I can't wait until people stop bending the knee to you nostalgiafags and talk about this more.

>>713063995
Playing them because theyre mostly good
Evergrace and Echonight kinda suck
But Shadow tower and Kingsfield 4 are the Fallout 1&2 to Dark souls which is the equivalent of Fallout 3.
Being it sucks, fails to understand what made prior games good, and is generally a janky piece of shit

>>713064068
> Their first game Kingsfield is a success selling double what was expected
> Metal wolf chaos
> Lost kingdoms II
Some of the games inbetween look kinda mid but not horrible.

>>713064046
A new IP would be fine if they had some new idea, but they're sitting on a bunch of IPs already that people either want sequels to or would pay more attention now that they know Fromsoft's name. Anything they do that isn't Souls is an almost guaranteed success, given their effort and budget.

I still think Sekiro 2 would be a power move. That is the formula China copied to make their first blockbuster game, and there are at least two more on the way. I want to see From put a stamp on it and show the industry who's boss.
Everybody talks about Fromsoft running out of ideas. What about the rest of these fags riding their coattails? Sekiro 2 would ruin the party for all of them.

>>713064068
Dark souls 1 hitboxes, movesets and attack animations are far more jank than the entire Kingsfield series

>>713064282
> Cant wait to buy DS2 for the same exact game but worse
> Cant wait to buy DS3 for the same exact game but looks slightly better
> Cant wait to buy sekiro because they wont make DS4

> Cant wait to buy Bloodborne because this time parrying and a shitty pistol are the defense instead of blocking.

Pigs in a trough consuming slop.

Cookies and cream 2

just say you space out when you’re not in a 1v1 boss fight with a humanoid swordsman (preferably one in shonen anime fashion)

>>713064463
>literally proves my point for me by refusing to critique DS1, even though he could've said it's the exact same game as DeS but worse.

You have worms for brains.

>>713064571
Demon souls is different. Theres a hub world with portals like mario 64, the flow is not the same. DS1 is just an improved demon souls but demon souls is still worth playing.

>>713064768
You could make that exact same argument about every other game you just shat on. They still have the same combat system and emphasis on bosses you just shat on.

Can you at least TRY to be less blatantly retarded and more consistent? Holy fuckballs

>>713064886
Demon souls came out first, its a linear experience and looks more cartoony.
How noticeable are the changes comparing from DS1 to DS2 to DS3 to Sekiro to Bloodborne to Elden Cuck. Its the same shit, the changes from demonsouls to DS1 are drastic enough from the artstyle to the flow of the game.

>>713062253 (OP)
My favorite games were actually their horror games like that and echo night, incredibly jank yes but were fun
The average fromsoft fan now literally thinks their first game was demon souls which is funny and sad at the same time

>>713063796

The only FromSoft games I've finished are Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2, Echo Night, Echo Night Beyond, and Ninja Blade. I didn't know they all shared the same developer at the time or anything. They just looked cool.

I bought Demon's Souls based entirely on hype from here. I only had a couple PS3 exclusives. It was super shit, the more I gave it a chance the more I hated it.

I still don't get it. "It's bringing back real gaming™".

What?

>>713064768
>improved

>>713064983
clueless retard
i mean you already admitted you havent played any game past 1 and have no idea of whats going on in any of them

>>713062641
>Sekiro
>Souls like dodging bullshit
you didn't even play the game

>>713064335
they had a few standout games, armored core games as an example. but they used to PUMP out games. from 2016-2025, they've released 6 games, most of them very similar to each other. compare to the previous 10 years, 2006-2015, where they released 26 games. "from software" wasn't some seal of quality that a lot of people see it as these days, it usually meant low budget jank, even if some of that jank was jankkino.
>>713064409
lol. lmao.

>>713065713
These people nostalgiafag so hard over DS1 and I genuinely cannot grasp how they fail to see that's exactly what they're doing. He even fell for it twice back to back after getting his ass blasted out

>>713065984
>lol lmao
Concession accept, braindead souls sawdust consumer

>>713065713
Hey retard see:
>>713062945

>>713066391
"nostalgia fagging" more like didnt wanna pay $60 for the same game like 5 times.

>>713062945
how do you know they weren't as good if you never played them?

>>713066664
Because i fucking tried to play them retard. I got bored after a the 3rd boss in 3 and got bored when i got to some area with a fuckton of spiders and webs in 2. I didn't get bored anytime ive played DS1.

>>713066391
DS1 glazing is valid since the games after it sucked entirely. It's the only time Fromsoft looked competent before the second half.

>>713066621
Nostalgiafagging has nothing to do with shitting on later entries. It has everything to do with ignoring the flaws and critiques over the things you love that also apply to the later entries you shit on. Basically, it has to do with being a retarded & blind hypocrite, like you've been doing repeatedly now.

>>713064068
>i bet you didn't even know déraciné existed and yet are complaining about fromsoft not making anything else.
What do you expect from a game that's exclusive to PSVR? It's not OP's fault that he hasn't played something that's incredibly niche by design.

>>713066952
Never said DS1 didnt have flaws. But why the fuck do people keep paying for the same game?
Should i really buy the next game because I can walk while using an estus now?

>>713062253 (OP)
but they are making billions with Elden Ring
so...

>>713062641
You didn't play either

>>713067279
Played some of Nioh, its sekiro but better.

>>713067360
Well yeah but this thread isn't about nioh

>>713067037
i expect someone who is complaining about the company not making oddball games anymore to at least know that they HAVE made them in their current era.

>>713067360
Nioh suffers from convoluted controls and diablo loot. Really hampers the experience for non-autists. I am glad you like it though

>>713067537
>convoluted controls
How?
>diablo loot
Not an issue

>>713067501
> PSVR
Nigga the last playstation i bought was a ps2 why the FUCK would i even look at a PSVR title.

They make shovelware before and after.

>>713062253 (OP)
Yea I think about this a lot, retards will say "bro but ac is different than souls, uhhh sekiro isn't souls" but fromsoft used to regularly make random new shit with completely different gameplay, yea they had their standard king's field/shadow tower formulaic, but then they'd drop an echo night, feels like now they don't try anything new, it's all just souls.

>>713067617
because you are complaining about the studio not making oddball/niche games anymore when they absolutely have.

Someone post that Shdow Tower streamer screenshot with reused shit in the background.

>>713067629
They figured out what makes money so now we're getting elden slop for the next decade. Buckle up.

>>713067360
This retard really said niohs better than sekiro.

>>713068197
He's correct

>>713068197
Sekiro is just one note nonsense. Nioh give you more options to play and is much more fun.

>>713068197
Sekiro is style over substance.
Nioh (1) is the better game.

>>713068197
Team Ninja mogs anything Fromshitwre shits out. So he's not wrong at all.

>>713062253 (OP)
Why pander to niche audiences and make less money when they can make mass-appeal repetitive sloppa.

>>713068542
Because the only reason kuon sold like shit was the retarded view critics back then had: game short = bad. Also shit on the controls which werent even bad at all. It was a weird thing back then, even the simpsons hit n run devs were shitting themselves because they felt it was too short.

>>713068752
Game """critics""" complaining about controls past like 1980's PC games when devs were still doing shit like "AZ,." to move is such a joke.
>Aiiiie I have to press left bumper to run, how will I ever adapt

>>713069101
"The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down. Too often, you'll turn to face a foe and find that your weapon is aimed at the floor or ceiling while the alien gleefully hacks away at your midsection. Add to the mix a few other head scratchers - such as how the triangle button controls item and health use - and you'll be wondering how Sony let this get by without requesting a few different control configuration options." - Gamespot

>>713069101
Ah yes, R1 strafe left, R2 strafe right, L1 look up, L2 look down is truly goated controls nobody should criticize.

>>713064390
Not really. When peopel were making dark souls clones, from still kept making souls games and then elden ring. The souls clones didnt stop. They just kept adapting. Just like how jedi survivor add more platforming.

>>713067537
it really doesn't, only the most smooth brained people are filtered by those

>>713068197
fromsoft really made a more action focused game and its controls didnt go beyond the usual one button to attack and then one button to parry

>>713063942
This for me

>>713069421
They should really stick to making children's games instead. Maybe leave the industry for good for better measure.

>>713062945
>I get my opinion from the internet
Yeah we can tell faggot, no one is forcing you sub-int weakling attentionwhore

>bro why are they doing something they've done before instead of this other thing they've done before but I was 10 when they did it so it's better

let's not act as if you all knew about fromsoft before dark souls

>>713067609
>Diablo loot
Hampers the game for non-autists
>convoluted controls
Parrying is literally a combination of presses instead of just a button. It's really awkward. The game relies on button combos instead of a better default layout

>>713067096
>the same game?
the world design and combat between 1 and 3 are literally completely different, and that's saying something because **they're the same place.**

>>713067360
nioh and sekiro play nothing alike

>>713072815
>It's really awkward. The game relies on button combos instead of a better default layout

I would like a new King's Field.

>>713075519
>>713069213
holy fuck, that's incredible. this is the single best argument against ubiquitous control schemes. when people complain about control schemes being bad because they aren't the same control schemes as 95% of other games, i will show them this. let people remember that the world was not initially ready for the controls that they now cling to.

>>713062253 (OP)
because they keep getting money hand over fist you dope.
they revived armored core for kicks.

>>713062945
this post triggered a lot of post-ds1 tourists
you're right though, there's no reason to play any of these games past ds1, they've never reached its heights

I think the real problem with FromSoft is that they are allergic to increasing the amount of options available to the player to attack enemies while still increasing the complexity of the enemy attacks in each successive title.
So you end up with shit like Elden Ring where you're having to deal with over the top, flashy 10 minute attacks with the exact same moveset that Dark Souls 1 had, rolling and waiting for an opening which really gets old.

Would nu-FromSoft have turned it into roll slop if they remade it or brought it back?

>mfw when FromSoft have been making Souls games in one form or another for close to 30 years
They literally only know how to make two types of games: dark/weird dungeon crawler or mecha slop.

>>713062253 (OP)
That game was shit though

>>713062253 (OP)
No one played those games or enjoyed them.
Kings Field 1 was pretty impressive, 2 and 3 are just not good and 4 only feels like a beta test for Demon's Souls.
Shadow Tower 1 is unplayable. Shadow Tower 2 is interesting and could have been expanded upon, it had potential.
Eternal Ring is garbage. Enchanted Arms is garbage.

Armored Core was good within its sector, but the mecha genre is too small for a company to survive off of.
Souls games sell amazingly and they're also critical darlings.
You'd be a fool to switch it up all that much for titles that no one payed for or enjoyed.

Fromshit have no reason to try anything now, they have millions of loyal fanboys to support their copy+paste games.

>>713076272
Just play the catacombs in Elden Ring.
If they all feel repetitive, so was Kings Field.

>>713064068
Souls shit are the same low budget jank ass games as their old offerings. Difference is they came out at the right time and developed a cult like following and I mean that in the most derogatory sense

>>713062945
I think 2 is worth playing because it deviates from 1 and the modern formula. I think 3 is the least worth playing because you can play Bloodborne and ER for similar pacing but more innovating design.

>>713062998
>>713062253 (OP)
