Miyazaki reveals his favorite games he's made are Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne.

Its official. Dark Souls 1 is the best in the trilogy

yeah ds1 is cool so i bb

>>715302117 (OP)
I look back on early projects fondly as well. Doesn't mean they're better than what came after.

>>715304058
yea des had troubled development not to mention his first time and a slow fan reception. By das they actually had the resources and time they needed plus a welcoming launch. And bb the publlic was treating him like a god before souls fatigue kicked in.

>>715302117 (OP)
If he said sekiro too then I'd believe that he still has immaculate taste and vision because all the other souls games he worked on were shit. As long as the CEO doesn't think elden ring is the best game they've ever made there's still hope, once you get into a capcom situation with MH where they don't know what the fuck they are making let alone the value of it, it's over, the north star is lost.

>>715304623
>welcoming launch
yeah, as in you get welcomed by a big stick up your ass by a 50% ninja flipping havel in undead burg/parish

>>715302117 (OP)
I genuinely feel like DS1 is a total fucking fluke considering they couldn't repeat it since so ofc he gonna praise it.
Bloodborne isnt on PC so people with >80IQ didnt get to play it and judge for how garbage it maybe is.,

>>715302117 (OP)
I don’t have a horse in this race because I don’t play soulslikes, but sakamoto (creator of metroid) likes other m, and nobody in the metroid fandom thinks it’s a good game

>>715305647
The metroid fandom are stupid boomers who overrate shitty games because they are the unholy combination of coomer, tendies and nostalgia obsessed bald men. I don't care what they think is good any more than I care what sakamoto, the father of an overrated series thinks

>>715305365
the ceo is going to still answer to somebody. he said it himself, his favorite games that he has developed are 10+ years old, he has been forced to make sequels and other bullshit he didn't feel passionate about. their publisher is bandai. at this point, he fucked up. because if he didn't like the way elden ring developed, it was by and far the most successful 'souls game'. share holders and top will bully the fuck out of him to make more of that.

>>715302117 (OP)
This doesn't surprise me. Its clearly his best works.

>>715305647
fandoms are for faggots

>>715302117 (OP)
Damn right it is. Shit feels like a godamn clunky ass game that was somehow done right for the most part and a simple game of a man going through western medieval tropes to kill the evil king.

My favorite area is sens fortress.

>>715306231
so why doesn't he offer them an ultimatum for full creative and financial control over whatever the next project(s) is/are, or just leave if the bean counters don't let him

>>715305481
just the way i like it

>>715306231
He's mentioned that Elden Ring is "closer" to his ideal RPG but not perfect. Elden Ring is just another stepping stone towards his magnum opus, but Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne were clearly his most inspired work. As you alluded to he became CEO of the company after fulfilling his obligation to Bandai in making the Souls trilogy and seems to have essentially made Elden Ring as an obligation to his company so they can prosper and stand on their own now without Bandai's grip. Even before he became CEO he was trying to build up the talent/secondary director's in the company (Dark Souls 2, for better and objectively worse), so he has always been a team-player even while pursuing his artistic visions (Bloodborne).

>>715306898
>objectively worse
shit opinion aside, maybe one day we will actually see his vision completed as he sees it inside his own head

>>715306231
He didn't fuck up, he took the only path that was available. He milks shitty souls sequels like DS2, 3 and ER and sells them to mass market retards while he funds the shit he actually wants to play like DS1, BB, sekiro, armored core 6 etc.. he was massively successful at it and is a very good CEO who has secured absolute creative freedom should he want it, as long as his taste remains elevated over his money maker trash FROM is golden.

>>715307052
You don't restart development 2 or 3 times with 3 different co-directors on a project that's without serious flaws. Dark Souls 2 was GOTY in the years it came out (vanilla and scholar) because no games came out those years and Souls is peak, even a flawed iteration.

>>715307195
AC6 was mid and I wont stop saying it.

dark souls 1 map design is god tier and has never been surpassed by anyone, neither by fromsoft

>>715307356
trust the plan. Many said Demon's was mid.

>>715307396
just wait until 7 is released and everyone starts saying how 6 was actually so peak

Dark Souls is too unfinished and falls apart in the end.

>>715302117 (OP)
>Miyazaki has the same taste in his games as I do
Now if he could just capture the same magic of those two games again

>>715302117 (OP)
Does this dude just say random bullshit? I thought people were made he said dark souls 2 was important because it set the ground work for souls being what it is now or some retarded shit
Anyways kys from shitters, no one wants you around

>>715307548
ESL?

>>715307548
brown?

Sekiro and Bloodborne were the peak

>>715304058
better than dork souls 3 and elder tranny made by trannymura

>>715307356
yup so mid even rifles are mid range shit KEK

>>715307548
rost in transrations and jap devs not give a fuck what they said in the pass

>>715307475
every souls feels the same

>>715307548
>dark souls 2 was important for establishing a precedent
>this means it must be his favorite game
Leading complehension

Uh Demons Souls bros?

>>715307396
sony wont give it a remake and its not the first armored core

>>715307548
Dark Souls 2 was an important development step towards ER, but that doesn't make it a game he worked on.

>>715305647
yup being a game dev mean you will never figure out why your games were good as a "curse"

another proof that Myazaki is a hack that doesn't care about continuity and why DS3 and Shadow of the Erdtree suck ass

I get the feeling that his next major RPG will be his last.

He clearly wants the player to travel across and explore different lands. In DS1 you travel to the Painted World/Anor Londo/Demon Ruins.
DS3 had a similar thing with using Catacombs of Carthus as a transition area to travel to Irithyll.
He finally went full open world with Elden Ring, but the game was tainted with copy paste dungeons. The regions are unique but there's a lack of major areas with good design. Probably a result of time crunch.

A giant open world fantasy RPG is clearly the game he wants. I think the success of Elden Ring has given Miyazaki the leeway to make "his game". And shit like Nightreign/Duskbloods is for pleasing shareholders while his magnum opus.

>>715307356
AC6 is by far the most immersive, well written game From has made since the heyday of Demon's Souls.

>>715308851
tarkov borne? unless he bother to do a morrowind game in world and quests/npcs design i dont give a fuck

>>715308851
>I think the success of Elden Ring has given Miyazaki the leeway to make "his game"
People have been saying this shit for years. Every piece of mediocre shit has just been a project to appease the studio so he can make his REAL passion project since DS1.

>>715308948
>CORAL CORAL CORAL ASH ASH ASH
>BUDDY
>What is alive*smacks crayon*doesnt die easy

>>715308716
I wish he never copied the leveling-up waifu idea. Emerald Herald would be cemented as the best girl in vidya instead.

>>715308948
>Intro its a youtube video where it implies player its a cybertrashbag

>Doesnt bother explain how you get out as a trashbag

>>715309058
Except no one has been saying that since DS1, and it turns out he made other directors work on DS2 (contractual slop) while he made BB (passion project). It's almost like you should trust the plan now that we see the pattern...

>>715308948
>he fell for the coral parasites global domination plan

>Ive prayed tarkov so im gonna make a switch onry funded game with broodborne and more and crazy shit

>>715309359
best line of the game

>>715309118
>>715309231
>>715309268
Armored Core 6 had an actual story with actual characters. Elden Ring schizo bait slop makes me want to stab Miyazaki in the eyes, it's so insanely unpleasant to put up with.

>>715307274
They just dreamt big, the alphas and cut content all but confirm it. At least game is playable from start to finish unlike 1st with tomb of giants and izalith being some sort of a joke and ashen lake feeling like out of bounds area you are not supposed to visit.

Idk about DS3 development but that shit is just a straight line from firelink to lothric castle. You have to be beyond lazy and retarded to fuck up drawing a straight line.

>>715309447
The fact that he's having his underlings make two investor-slop games at once should give you more confidence, not less, that his passion project is coming after.

>>715309587
>tomb
>izalith
>fucking Ash Lake
>unplayable
You are genuinely retarded or video-essay poisoned but i'll let it slide I guess

>>715309616
I don't care about his passion projects and haven't since DS1. Yamamura is the only Fromsoft dev worth a damn anymore.

>>715309587
ds3 was supossed to be bloodborne nightmare mixed with dork souls universe just by watching the first leak pictures and the final area that you fight cindershit being more that the game could be a clusterfuck nightmare

>>715309580
Don't pull ER into this shit. You fell for a speck of coral pussy. Why bother denying it?

>>715302117 (OP)
>origin of the phenomenon

thats the demon souls ????

>>715309769
Fine. If Sekiro 2/Tenchu but for real this time isn't shit, i'll put more respect on his name.

>>715309856
that was protoseed for 4 guys in ps3

>>715309801
My first playthrough I sided with Walter, actually. Another thing AC6 gets right is endings that actually have significant choices vs sitting in a chair while the skybox changes.

>>715305614
>maybe

>Play DS1

>Worst level design

>Worst armors

>Worst progression

BB first half is crap but the game isn't painfully long like DS1

Bait used to be believable

>>715302117 (OP)
I mean yeah its obvious the best titles are the OGs. Any game with sequels immediately shits the bed. Dark souls 2 and 3? lol. Elden ring nightreign? lol. All the thought and soul goes into the title and then after that its pure cash grab.

DS1, Elden Ring, and maybe Sekiro (idk) are the only games worth playing

>>715310031
>Any game with sequels immediately shits the bed
And yet Majora's Mask is the best Zelda game, and better than any game Miyazaki ever made.

>>715309987
nigga that game was where poise was invented

>>715305647
sakamoto is not the creator of metroid no matter how much he tries to position himself as. he was part of a group brought on to the first game late in development, to finish it up for release, didn't work on the second, and only got into a creative lead position with super. he's a literal hack fraud.

>>715302117 (OP)
Probably because 1 and BB are the only games worth a shit that actually add anything of value to the series in any capacity whatsoever.

Only surprised he didn't mention Sekiro, though it's derivative as fuck is probably why

If only ds1 had more time.
Priscilla deserved more.

>>715309963
sorry pal, that was a fake ending. true ending has you enter eternal servitude

>>715310792
Its a shame that all that dark souls would be known for is difficulty.
They never expanded on that metrodvania world design.
Elden ring tried but tis just open fields walking simulator instead of anything interesting.

Has Miyazaki ever given an interview about AC4/4A?
These games + DS1 are THE Miyazaki kinology

>>715310031
Ds2 is better then 3.
It still had creative vision and is fun to explore.
3 is the linear boss rush mode that was made for mainstream normies.

They're his best works.

>>715309987
Lmao worst opinions ever

I haven't played BB or DES but DES has more soul than DS1 which feels lifeless in comparison.

>>715302117 (OP)
I mean that's obvious, they're the only good ones. Everything else barring DeS is just mass appeal slop made for people who haven't grown up yet and realized these are rehashes

>>715308293
yeah the two biggest problems are falloff range and stagger
