It’s crazy to think that FromSoft hasn’t released a new game since 2019

What about that game about robots

>>717205069
Derivative slop

Would trade in DS2, DS3, and ER together for Sekiro 2.

very original

Why is this the only From game with boss rush? That's something I think every game with boss fights should have.

>>717205440
because rollsloppers are always complaining that they don't have enough empty space to "explore". where else are they going to farm experience to make the next boss a pushover so they can feel like they're skilled

>>717205440
after a first playthrough, the handful of great bosses are the only motivation to go through all the filler in elden ring so being able to fight them would devalue the game

>>717206459
Nah, that logic only makes sense if the game's core loop isn't strong enough to stand on its own. If the only good thing about ER is a “handful” of bosses, that’s already a sign of imbalance. Boss rush isn't a replacement for exploration, it's a supplement. Let people enjoy the good stuff without spending 40 minutes riding Torrent past recycling plants.

Will I like this game if I liked every DS game, Bloodborne and Elden Ring, thought that Malenia was badly designed (beat her) and am shit at parrying in every game except for Bloodborne (I parry every fucker in this one)? All I hear is this game being the hardest From game and I don't mind hard as long as it's also fair and enjoyable.

>>717208615
Parrying is much more intuitive and forgiving and fun than any of the Souls games and even BB. It's a great game, not to say it doesn't get frustrating at times and you will get your ass handed to you, but at some point it will click and you will dominate them. Just know that you can't play it like Souls, it's closer to BB in that you have to be aggressive and stand in toe to toe with almost every enemy. Fantastic game, one of my favorites.

>>717205016 (OP)
Bloodborne perfected the formula
Sekiro innovated
Elden Ring sold out and ruined the studio

>>717209146
Ok, thank you. I've seen a brief gameplay video and loved the aesthetic. Is the world at least a little bit open (like DS3 letting you choose where you'll go first in some instances) or is it totally on-rails?

>>717209428
I would describe it as similar to BB in that it is open to an extent, with more than one way to get to the same places, secrets to find, etc. It also has the same criticism that areas get reused. There are a few points where you can choose where to go first or get to an area "early" but in true From fashion you might miss it at first if you don't have a hint.

>>717209412
ER was From's moment of selling out. What a shame after all these masterpieces we probably won't even get AC6 DLC let alone another passion project like Sekiro or BB.

>>717208615
Did you ever try the deflecting tear in the ER DLC?

>>717209428
It’s linear with a single branching path for the first third, DS3 style for the middle third (you have to do 3 things but you can do them in any order), and again very linear for the last third. I think it wears it very well.

>>717205249
ER>BB>DS2>DS3>DS1>DeS>Kings Field>Sekiro
No!

>>717210194
I forgot to add, the last third also has a continuation of the first thirds branching path, but it’s locked behind quest requirements.

>>717210124
Not him but I did and it's not even close to Sekiro deflecting.

>>717208615
I did not. First 1/3rd is such unmitigated bullshit mob fights that it was the first from game not to outsell the previous, outsoled by DS2, and not get a DLC. It was a shareholder failure. Middle 3rd is fun as fuck though.

>>717210446
It didn't get DLC because of Activision.

>>717210418
It's not as satisfying or well-made but as far as gameplay feel it's the closest thing I can think of in these games that isn't actually just playing Sekiro.

>>717210530
Not sure how that follows but you are right about their involvement which surprises me.

Demon’s Souls: Atlus

Dark Souls 1-3: Bandai Namco

Bloodborne: Sony

Sekiro: Activision

Demon’s Souls Remake: Sony

Elden Ring: Bandai Namco

Sekiro is unplayable trash compared to their other games.

I want a new King's Field like game. Not a fucking rhythm game that's best described as one long prank you pay to be the victim of.

>>717211038
The worst part of these posts isn’t that people still make them, it’s than anyone believes you’re serious

>>717210592
I do like that you can stick it on anything. It’s a cool feeling to perfect parry with the dryleaf fist weapons. But it’s very annoying that it’s on a timer

>>717211038
Kek, truth.

Any of you From autists have any hope for Duskbloods?

>>717210817
I read where I believe Miyazaki himself stated that it didn't get DLC because of Activision. It was their choice and they chose not to, From couldn't do it if they wanted to.

>>717212743
Zero, I'm afraid. Fromsoft has taken the Blizzard arc.

>>717212886
That's disappointing. I'll probably get it anyway since I am a giant vampire faggot.

>>717210267
You are severely mentally ill.

It's true. They're just going to make Elden Ring their "Fortnite" and make a bunch of DLCs for the next 4 years.

>>717206251
Sekiro is the game with true skills. If you beat all the Fromsoft games EXCEPT Sekiro I know you aren't actually as good at games as you say you are.

>>717216163
No, Im not ADHD and academically challenged which is the Sekiro demographic. I swear it was kids who struggled in highschool finally getting to use their ADHD in a shitty rythrm game and get some self esteem. Which is why they are such defensive fags about it unable to have a normal conversation without calling critics mentally ill.

>>717216297
Sekiro is the only From game I beat without skipping shit

I found it much easier after beating ER

>>717210446
>mob fights
you can kill normal enemies in 2 seconds by overpowering them and one shotting them with a death blow. how come every criticism i see about sekiro magically involves the person revealing themselves to be utterly shit at the game

>>717216621
You placed ER first. You placed DS2 above 1 and Demon's Souls. You placed Sekiro last. You are either baiting or incredibly retarded and brainfucked. Absolutely irredeemably shit taste.

ER is so bad I wish it didn't exist

sekiro >>> elden ring >> bb > ds1 > ds3 >>>>> ds2

i've found that as i return to bloodborne i like it less and less, even though the setting is probably still my second favorite in the company's franchises (especially with the narrative twist). still like it more than ds1 because the second half of that game completely falls apart (and i even like lost izalith). hate ds3 and ds2. sekiro is of course the best game by a mile
