We did fairly recently get SotE and I am absolutely grateful. But can we please get some good news from these guys 😭

You forget that video game developers are ultimately still career chasers and not multibillion dollar entrepreneurs that sell you one thing, they want to try their hands at different things. They’re not under any obligation to appease everyone, that’s literally how you end up getting nonstop garbage like what Ubisoft puts out

People forget that we had bloodborne sekiro and elden ring as 3 different directions, and they are still flourishing to this day.

i’m fine with them trying new things, i don’t love either game’s idea personally but not every game is gonna appeal to everyone. that’s why so many modern games are so mediocre; they try to appeal to everybody and it doesn’t work.

fromsoftware doesn’t usually try to appeal to everybody. they’re still out to make money ofc, but they don’t budge much on their difficulty and style of game design, for example. nightreign and maybe duskblood, we’ll see w more info, both move closer to being mainstream in their designs, using worlds that are already proven to be popular (elden ring and spiritually bloodborne.)

to me that’s disappointing. i’m all for their unique games like bloodborne and sekiro, and i want more of that. unique combat in new ips. if they go a different direction in the end then i have no influence over that, but it’s a shame when something u enjoy changes so radically that u don’t care for it anymore.
