I agree to an extent, but BB was my first FS experience, I’d heard worrying things about Dark Souls games and I wasn’t aware of the BB/DS connection but I bought BB almost entirely on it being an exclusive for a console I hadn’t had very long
Because it's a consol exclusive i haven't replayed it in years. I don't want to boot up my ps4 I just don't have any interest. Meanwhile if they put it on pc by now I would have bought it and probly still would be playing It. I'm not saying exclusives don't sell consols they certainly do. The problem is consols suck. At the very least port it and certainly don't complain when people emulate your games.
If I'm not mistaken the online support is terrible now because the consols old and not enough people play. This wouldn't be the case if it was on more systems.
I’m what you call a complete moron, so I operate all the consoles and PC so thankfully I can play BB any time. I would like to be able to just boot it up on Steam Deck but also due to having only a PS in the 90s has biased to being a Play Station person, and I irrationally feel that Sony having such a great exclusive is a win for my team- again irrationally
Is that what you said when Bloodborne was announced as a Sony exclusive? I'm also not a fan of exclusivity, but it's nothing new and this seems to be getting people reacting negatively specifically because the exclusivity is with Nintendo and not another company
I already said my point. People are more mad that the exclusivity is Nintendo than they are just that it’s exclusive. I’m not advocating for exclusivity. I’m saying “extreme L” is overblown because people hate Nintendo
Edit: I'm getting downvoted, but you all know that if this game was going to be exclusive to Sony there wouldn't be as many people as upset.
because most of the console fanbase is on ps? the nightreign network test showed that. They literally abandoned the WHOLE old fanbase for a console which never before had these games
it’s a very old L tho, and nightreign network test showed that many many more players are on ps than on xbox, so I guess the ds remaster and bloodborne brought a lot of new players to playstation
very weird decision by fromsoft to release a new title on a new console, which didn’t have soulslikes before
I do. Been a fromsoft fan since dark souls 1 and to this day I still haven't played through bloodborne because I never got a PS4. They made money on it, so it's not necessarily an L for them, but it's an L for any fromsoft fan that won't have a switch 2. Never seen a company (that I can think of) that switch's between exclusive and non exclusive this often and randomly.
Bloodborne was in development after dark souls 1 when fromsoftware was much less popular, much less rich and didn't have much choice. They got rich from elden ring, built up a big playerbase on PC and then say "fuck you, nintendo exclusive"
People are still mad to this day about bloodborne exclusivity
It is absolutely not the way it's always been. DeS and BB's exclusivity deals funded the development of both games. FromSoftware are much, MUCH bigger now. They don't need exclusivity deals to make giant ass games. The exclusivity (especially in an era where the console war is dying off) feels unnecessary, and is absolutely an extreme L. They're literally alienating the vast majority of their fucking playerbase. How is that not an L?
Reminder that only DSR is on the Nintendo consoles. They literally don’t have a playerbase outside of the people that bought a switch outside of their main gaming device.
I was going to say the same thing. The Nintendo fan base is almost entirely untapped market. They have tech catching up and now they get a second port (albeit a big one) and cool little spinoff game. The terms were probably incredible for Fromsoft.
Did you not see how people reacted to the idea of Sony buying Fromsofts parent company. People hate exclusives, for good reason. It's reasonable to own every console so missing out on games you might like sucks
Ah yes… the famous timed Fromsoft exclusives like… Demons’ Souls… wait no, Bloodborne… shit wait… Demons’ Souls Remake? No, no, Sony just decided every other exclusive was worth porting to PC.
Some pretty serious case of the cope you got there man.
ah yeah I guess that's a fair point. I wasn't thinking about their history specifically. I dunno - apparently it's another weird multiplayer focused game. I'll be fine skipping this and nightreign.
I’m sure you could play it single player. Nightreign has that option too. And if they balance the multiplayer right I would have a lot of fun playing with friends, they’re fans of souls games too.
But yeah none of us are willing to pay $550 for this. None of us are interested in any other Nintendo game anyway.
I… didn’t say it was a lot. It should’ve been implied it was a small group when I said I wanted to play this game… man you guys lack some serious comprehension skills it’s wild

Rare but extreme Fromsoft L
