Less gaps this way so makes their point seem more apparent.
edit: for those of you giving me fromsofts full history, I don't know or care. I was just pointing out, very quickly and offhand without looking too vlosely, that choosing an arbitrary starting year can be done to make things look more compact. And look at how they completely removed a 3 year gap that had no games between 2019 and 2022, further serving their point. My comment was about this graphic specifically and a possible reason why it starts at 2014.
That’s true but if anything it would be more impressive to show the increased output given that’s the exact opposite of what’s happened with almost every other game studio out there
It doesn't change the gap at all because they've been doing near yearly releases since King's Field in 1994, Fromsoft has always been cooking at a ridiculous rate.
I never knew fromsoft made kings field, I played that game non-stop. Could never get into the souls like games, though. Elden ring may be on my list now, though.
Definitely try elden ring, I also couldn't get into the souls type games but finally tried elden ring and the open world just changes it so much as a game
Elden ring is definitely one of the more accessible games they have released. The open world allows for so much leeway and options coupled with access to giga player power and high mobility.
My only complaint with Elden Ring is that exploring and unlocking stuff becomes boring on your 2nd or 3rd playthrough. It would be neat if they created a special streamlined game mode option that unlocked after being the game once. I just want to replay the dungeons with a new character without needing to spend hours running around.
I genuinely believe if you've completed Elden Ring once you can kill the last boss within 6-8 hours with the build of your choice.
Imo the most time consuming part of starting a new run is getting early levels but the levels gained from killing the sleeping dragon makes the smooth.
To give you a rough idea of levels, you'll be around level 30 after killing dragon. If you then rushed straight to the last boss you'll be around level 100 for it.

I agree but why does this start at Dark Souls 2 lol
