Fromsoft is like the ARK Survival devs. They found a gameplay formula people liked, but are on a technical level, functionally retarded. Terrible optimization. Fromsoft also gets a bonus for being loved for its ultra generic "shattered world" and "emo angst" themes, which resonates with teenagers that automatically conflate that with intellectual profundity.

We'd need to massacre the entire island of Japan so they stop living up their ass and rework that awful stat system. Muh artistic vision.

Their only misstep has been Nightreign and Duskbloods though. I'm just waiting for the their next proper single player focused game and I'm fairly sure it'll be good.

People really overlook this, the AI in their games hasn't improved in 17 years among other extremely dated tech

There are far worse optimized games out there. Capcom stole From's thunder on that score. And optimization is liable to will get far worse thanks to UE + AI dream combo

Did you forget about Armored Core 6? I mean, they make games with knights, ninja, robots, etc. I would like to see more Armored Core but I'm cool with whatever kind of fantasy warrior game they make. Robots are cool, ninja are cool, whatever is fine.

and everyone else, yeah.
then nightreign released (remember when 'zaki said ER wouldn't be a franchise?)
then duskbloods got announced
FS have a fantasy addiction, and they need help because it's killing the studio, artistically.

Nightreign didn’t bomb and its a glorified Fortnite simulator. Duskbloods will have people buy it despite it looking ugly as sin and being multiplayer focused. The future is already set in motion for Fromsoftware to replace Bethesda or Bioware as this glorified, memetic company that will one day become hated, vilified and looked back upon with disappointment. Nobody will care about their past works anymore, especially with how much damage and disrespect they have done to the industry.

I think it's funny that people call Nightreign fortnite when The Duskbloods is the actual unironic battle royale but it somehow gets a pass because Miyazaki slapped his name on it.
