How would you react if Fromsoft made a pirate game?

they already made No-man's Wharf

oh boy...

>>717164923
you had a whole 0.02s to react, honestly skill issue

>>717164742 (OP)
I would be incredibly hyped as long as it's "Pirate Souls" only in the sense that there is sailing, discovering islands, perhaps ship fighting and treasure finding. But I don't want the themes/characters to be actually pirates. No eye patches, hooks, etc.
The style of the characters should just be weird fantasy like Elden Ring is. Or Bloodborne.

>>717164742 (OP)
Are you me? I was thinking about a pirate souls game just an hour ago

>>717164923
I clapped because it's true

>>717165116
How about chinese pirates?

>>717165116
>The style of the characters should just be weird fantasy like Elden Ring is. Or Bloodborne.
Neither of those are weird fantasy.

>>717165324
>Finger Gods and Space Bugs from Outer Space isn't weird fantasy

Pirates are too kino and inherently upbeat for Miyazaki, he'd turn it into his usual brooding super depressing grimdark shit with none of the appeal of the archetype

>>717165381
Correct.

>>717165116
>I want pirates but I don't want pirates
Which is it you huge faggot

>>717165385
Yes, and I hope that happens. Pirated are boring the way they are usually portrayed.

>>717165442
>ESL can't enjoy a good pirate kino because his kind never sailed the waves

Dire

>>717165442
>I want pirates but I actually don't want pirates, I just want mute Guts#252058798 and Zanzibart the Unplundered on a ship

>>717165407
Think if Elden Ring had sailing from island to island, and you could find treasure chests. That's what I want, but no eyepatch characters, parrots or other lame pirate imagery you usually see.

Just make Elden Ring 2 with sailing. Or Bloodborne.

>>717165534
you sound like a midwit

>>717165560
You sound like a seething pot.

>>717165194
I've been thinking about pirate souls game since last year.

>>717165534
Again
>I want pirates but don't want pirates
What a half-assed idea

>>717165641
Adventuring on the ocean doesn't need to be pirate themed. Just make it more interesting fantasy with sailing.

Nah. I want a proper pirate game, not rollslop on a ship.

>>717165703
>I want pirates but I don't want pirates

Is your brain broken?

>>717165761
Is yours?

>>717165703
>I want to sail to tropical islands
>I want to dig for buried treasure
>I want to have ship battles

>but I don't want pirates

This game would sell exactly 1 copy

>>717165840
I want characters like Elden Ring has, no guys with hooks and eyepatches going "Aaar matey!"

And it'll sell 1 copy + 20 million.

Most people today use pirate as a catch-all term for any seafaring adventure. When I say pirate souls, I just want a golden age of sail kind of game. Pirates, navy, sea legends and monsters. All that shit. Blunderbuss, anchor, cutlass etc

It would suck all the fun out of it. No thanks.

I want Ironeye to get his very own game.

>>717165909
>I want generic fantasy characters in a dark world but not pirate kino

let me guess, Indian

Finnchad

>>717164742 (OP)
just make anything already ok?
elden ring is fine and cool, but their best game so far is bloodborne

>>717164742 (OP)
I would be mostly indifferent to it probably

>>717166038
Finncels stay seething about cool shit

>>717164742 (OP)
Pirates wouldn't be using a 50 gun triple masted fully rigged barque, a ship like that takes a crew of hundreds of well trained sailors just to trim for travel, let alone use in combat. Each one of those square sails requires like half a dozen people coordinating pulling specific ropes (of which there would be hundreds and they'd have to know them all) in a specific pattern to trim the sail to a particular wind direction. Even if they captured such a ship somehow, they'd just sell it. A pirate ship would usually be something with one or two fore and aft sails that could be run by a handful of people who knew what they were doing and then they'd stuff the below decks area with the scum of the earth so they could board and intimidate merchants.

>>717166737
Just use magic

>>717164742 (OP)
What if it was pirate dark souls but pirates sailed around in giant floating castles

>>717167508
I could see them designing something like that.

I wish the worst for anyone who plays or makes those pirate games with magic, skeletons and shit

>>717164742 (OP)
>This is FROM's idea for a pirate.
It depends I guess, would playing as STR tank full fill your pirate fantasy?

>>717164742 (OP)
Pirates are nice, but i still want my Aztec Souls

Q: What did the Pirate say on his birthday?

A; Aye Matey

>>717164742 (OP)
Fromsoft combat would be shit for a pirate game, lacks any crew and ship management, ranged cannons and gunpowder weapons would suck, boss pirates would suck and boss ships would be unfun bullet sponges etc.
A proper way to make a pirate game would be something like taking a combat of Mount and Blade, Chivalry or Dishonored. Then add Mount and Blade's crew management, overworld and trade, and finally plop some sort of ship upgrade system with upgrades having some downsides.

>>717164742 (OP)
Already exists

>>717164742 (OP)
id pirate it

>not making another empty world with hollows standing around you can just kill because they are incapable of making a normal town

>>717165534
>>717165116
What if it was to pirates what elden ring is to fantasy or bloodborne is to it's own monster mash pastiche?
Why would the fromsoft spin on generic pirates be bad?

>>717170084
not now carlos

>>717164923
would be more accurate if there was a 50+ hit combo

>>717164923
Froms biggest failure is how they let this be what 80% of "Soulslike" is about now.

Noone would have assumed this back in 2009 with DeS, were combat was not the entire point of the game.

I want pirates.
I also want ninjas.

>>717164742 (OP)
There's a bunch of generic zombies hanging around but they've got eyepatches and bandanas instead of knight armor. The second to last boss is a giant Blackbeard who delivers a solemn speech in a ridiculous pirate accent whose opening move is to whip out and fire 8 flintlocks at you in a row.

Ships will either be fast travel or shitty minigame travel sections which will be annoying.

>>717164742 (OP)
>windboost to dodge out of harm's way

>>717164742 (OP)
Pirate game with a deep focus on 17th century melee combat and dueling and a style like old adventure movies like against all flags and captain blood would be awesome.
Rollslop boss rush (pirate ship) would suck

>>717170702
>The second to last boss is a giant Blackbeard who delivers a solemn speech in a ridiculous pirate accent whose opening move is to whip out and fire 8 flintlocks at you in a row.
Absolute kino

>>717170702
Make him literally whip out a seemingly endless supply of flintlocks, fire them off, then just chuck the gun at you and I'm down.
Doubly so if he can actually run out.
>Aw, shite, guess we're doing 'tis the hard way
>Whips out a hilariously-oversized claymore

They could utilize Sekiro's swimming mechanics.

>>717164923
And if you try to run to the other side of the arena the boss slides over to you in a microsecond.

>>717170435
>were combat was not the entire point of the game.

>>717170114
Implying this is a bad thing

>>717164923
this is why we need a sekiro (spiritual) successor

>>717164742 (OP)
How about no more fucking souls? Instead they come up with something original?

>>717164923

>>717164923
>people have been making fun of them like this since dark souls 3 (10 years ago)
>still don't change their game design

>>717164742 (OP)
Could be kino, I think an "empty" open world is more acceptable if its an ocean. I'd be interested to see how From would implement ship builds and ship combat. Of course I would expect at least one ship that is just a sea monster with a saddle.

Just give me a ship warfare game but with pre-late 1800s sailing ships.

>>717174438
Lol those ships never even existed. Many were produced for museums n photos to make it look like they were real. A space demon invaded our realm, used advanced technology to impregnante a woman, and then cloned himself through reproducing the remaining women. He has castrated + enslaved the remaining mortal males, and often kills them too. He made many fake historical events as part of his global domination plot. Pyramids, ancient city ruins, arrow heads, all produced around the same time. For he loved sex with women so much. He can speak, his real body never dies. His clones die but their soul never goes away.

Based schizo

>>717175548
U can actually translate the pyramid hieroglyphs if u try hard. Lol, becuz the alien is so forthcoming with excellent knowledge. I’ll spoil the surprise, he has sex with most of them. Hes married to over 2 billion girls. All a single person who has cloned himself for hundreds of years. Connected to a giant talking immutable brain from another world who loves to have sex. But he has to lie to the men obviously lol, becuz he needs to feed his wives. So thats how ww2, covid, amateur photography, webms, google, all that shit is fake.

>>717170048
I liked the ship boss

>>717167635
>he doesn't like skeleton pirates

>>717170371
This is why I lost interest in the games. Bosses just feel like flailing glitched ragdolls now.

>>717164923

Expedition 33 copied this and it makes the game far worse than it should be.
