How come you guys reward them so much for rehashing the same shit?

They're like the iphone of games for fucking sakes.

>>715408691 (OP)
So what's your favorite series?

>>715408832
Answer the question fromdrone.

>>715408691 (OP)
They nailed the formular and people just want more of the good stuff.

>>715408691 (OP)
I really loved Demon's Souls and have been chasing that high ever since

>>715408691 (OP)
They perfected a formula over the course of years. Elden Ring is better than your favorite game.

>>715408691 (OP)
why is Armored Core 6 on there?

>>715408691 (OP)
Iterative design gets you talented and highly specialized developers who deliver what fans want

Changing up what kind of game you make for literally no reason is how you get dogshit devs like Square Enix. Maybe if youre lucky Miyazaki will listen to people like you and make his next game a gay sex simulator

>>715409047
No, but its close

Sekiro > Elden Ring > Bloodborne > DS III > DS I > DS II

>>715408691 (OP)
the iphone is the only correct phone tho

>>715409146
>Iterative design
That's clearly not it because Ubisoft has mastered making the same game 1000 times, and it makes their games boring as fuck. From's formula might be getting a little stale but their games are still fun and worth playing.
The more I think about it, the more I realize it's just because they didn't forget what an actual video game is. Same thing for Nintendo actually. From games are like NES games that got prettied up with a bunch of bells and whistles, but that makes them work.

>>715408691 (OP)
Iphone is based

>perfected a formula
Ah yes, perfection. Come, let us all study at at the feet of Miyazaki that he may grace us with the secret technique passed down for over a decade in the Fromsoft office known only as ctrl+c ctrl+v

>>715408691 (OP)
>How come you guys reward them so much for rehashing the same shit?
Because they don't do that. You just don't know anything about the games or game design in general.

I like their 1st game in the dark souls series a lot. I like bloodborne a lot. And i like sekiro fine enough

>>715408691 (OP)
>rehashing the same shit
Literally every series does this to an extent, that's what gives a series it's distinction. The question is whether the formula is good or not, and I enjoy the souls borne formula. Its not like every single game is a carbon copy of each other they all feel different and have unique mechanics to set each one apart.
Although I didn't enjoy elden ring that much.

>>715411915
Actual retard.
Explain how bloodborne is an exact copy of ds1

>>715408891
>he has no favorite anything he's just a brownskin shouting into the void

Routine at this point.

>>715408832
Sims

>make good content
>fans enjoy it
>give them more of the same content, different bosses, new areas to explore, new items and skills, instead of trying to reinvent your game everytime and hope your audience stays with you
>somehow you think this makes them retarded and not you
clowns. if you make something people like, and you want them to keep buying from you, you have to keep making more stuff they like you fucking retards. the reason a series like final fantasy has gone down the toilet is exactly because they stopped doing this and instead of making more, similar, content tried to change their whole formula.
only incompetent morons do this

>>715408691 (OP)
90% of the industry is garbage
So From stumbling upon a fun and working formula and giving us multiple good games with that formula without fucking it up serves as a fun and worthwhile use of time.
Souls games are no longer a new frontier but its still a bulwark against the garbage, and with things how they are now that's all they need to be.
You have a right to complain about sameness when the general level of quality in the industry is back to the point where you can trust that The New isn't shit.

codshit but for hipsters

>>715408691 (OP)
I never played any of those games

>>715408691 (OP)
>>715408891
Meds

>>715408691 (OP)
GTFO with your gimmick faggotry. People just want good games.

>>715408691 (OP)
Why the fuck is Armored Core 6 there? Fuck off. That's the one different and good thing that From has made in like a decade.

>>715417590
lmao ac6 is just soulslop with a mecha skin
shit doesn't even play like armored core kek

>>715417658
It's nothing like a Souls game and it's good that it's not like the old Armored Core games because those games suck ass.

>>715408691 (OP)
>Bloodborne and Sekiro make enough changes to the formula to stand up on their own.
>Four Souls games in eight years is not unreasonable
>Elden Ring makes a huge change with the open world

>>715417738
armored core doesn't have checkpoints before every boss, estus flask, lock on, and stagger bar
those are soulslop crap

>>715417904
The gameplay is also completely different.

you insufferable contrarian faggots all need to be skinned alive

>>715417985
in armored core 6 you just press the lock on button and strafe while mashing your guns, no different from a mage build in a souls game

>>715415001
fromslop is cod tier these days. You can't even say it's for hipsters.

>>715408691 (OP)
>rehashing
I fucking wish they would rehash Sekiro even one time.

>>715408691 (OP)
I generally think this, but someone put it in a valid perspective: basically, it enables them to keep releasing for people who love it and want more of it. It's like Mario and Pokémon recycling concepts and assets for 20 years. It reinforces familiarity with the brand and ensures time efficiency during development. So while I, an outsider—and one who doesn't like any of it anyway—see it all as the same, the people who are paying for it (aka the people largely driving the industry and its practices) get more video games and the developers have a unique opportunity to optimize the designs and philosophies.
