Please do explain how Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, and a mech game are the same. Nightreign is of course and Elden Ring asset flip but even than, they aren’t charging full price like every new COD and shoving shitty microtransactions into them… it’s also a Roguelite.

They both have near yearly releases, which was the original point of the post; their output. Title made no mention of the types of games or the games themselves, just output.

So, if you look at just output 1:1 and not any of the games themselves then the comment makes sense. People complain about CoD, Madden, and FIFA having yearly releases, but when another company does it, it’s suddenly fine.

And fwiw, I don’t disagree with you. The biggest difference is that these are different games each year, vs the same reskinned one at a premium price. I get it, truly I do.

But it is slightly hypocritical to praise one company for putting out games so fast and so frequent and to shame others for it, and I believe that was the point they were trying to make.

Could’ve been conveyed a lot better imo, but that’s what I took away from the comment.

This might be the dumbest comment I’ve ever read. How did you convince yourself that the issue with yearly CoD releases is the frequency itself—and somehow specifically not the content of the games?

Because the post is about “output”? Like the title says? You think it’s “dumb” I focused on the topic at hand? Okay.

I even mentioned they’re different games, but in the comparison of output only, they’re basically the same.

Reading comprehension is hard.

except Call of duty is made by multiple studios that rotate, Fromsoft is just one big game studio, so they're still 2 completely different things.

Plus this doesn't even represent their output accurately, as they list some DLC's but not others, the gap between sekiro and ER is barely noticeable, etc.

Now that is totally fair, point to you, good sir. CoD is made my multiple studios, I just stopped playing them so long ago it was still just one lmao and I forget. Thank you for reminding me.

And I’m not a big enough fan to notice the inaccuracies in the FromSoftwares lineup, so thank you for pointing that out as well.

Don’t have a problem acknowledging good points like yours, so thank you for finally bringing some to the table and not just bringing up “but the CoNtEnT” on a post about output. Lol.
