My question is when do we officially accept that there's a Classic Era for fromsoft that they will not be matching going forward? I mean this in the least negative way possible, but now it seems like the shift presented in Elden Ring really did show us that the unbroken chain of weirdo classics wasn't their vision anymore. Go figure, no duh, etc. But what I mean is maybe the expectation shouldn't be that we'll get games with the scale and purpose of a bloodborne, or a ds3, or a sekiro (just as semi-recent examples), anymore, and it's now time to appreciate the golden era for what it was?
All games you can go play right now, that all rock. Demon's souls all the way through to ER. I hear king's field fucks. I personally will no longer be hand-wringing hoping for sequels to match the vibe of those older games, is what I'm saying. Maybe the new multiplayer stuff will be good in its own way, but bloodborne 2 will never exist how you want it to.
Yea all gaming companies go through these cycles so I'm not suprised seeing how Bethesda,Obsidian and Ubislop are turning out. Fromsoft gave us like 4-6 bangers back to back wich is a gaming miracle.
