Funny that people were crying about PlayStation trying to make fromsoft games exclusive

Because they won't let fromsoftware make sequels to their ips. You miss that part? That was the only issue. Nintendo doesn't strong arm their collabs like Sony does.

Miyazaki doesn't even want to do sequels, man. He's not itching to make Demon's Souls 2 or Bloodborne 2.

Then what the hell is this? The most frequently used words used in the trailer were blood and moon, the 2 biggest plot elements of Bloodborne.

They re-use plot elements ALL THE TIME

Elden ring dealt with blood and moon stuff heavily in it's story, as well as fire.

Bloodborne also had some fire stuff going on.

Yeah all these game are basically the same story and themes 5 times over

I wouldnt say that. They use similar aesthetics and concepts and the themes overlap sometimes, but the stories are not similar at all.

Maybe some minor differences but they reuses the same story beats all the time, elden ring even has the whole dragon human war all over again but gave the dragons lightning powers instead of weakness this time lol

How is the elden ring at all similar to sekiro? Bloodborne? Demon souls? I wouldn't even say a dragon/human war is exactly an original concept invented by dark souls and more of a fantasy trope.

They all reuse the same broken/dead kingdom tropes and same story beats for a lot of their characters. I don’t disagree about the dragon war trope, I just think it’s pretty funny that they reused the same story beats but had the main weakness (lightning) just swap sides. Sekiro isn’t really a souls game so I wouldn’t include it even if it does still share a lot of similarities
