As for Dark Souls 2 and 3, those were likely something the publishers requested more than something FromSoft themselves wanted to do (only explanation for why Dark Souls 2 was handed over a different team and why Dark Souls 3 shares so much blood with Bloodborne), but even there one can see some atempt at diversifying the formula, at least with Dark Souls 2 (however misguided some of its ideas or the execution thereof may have been). Bloodborne isn't the same as Dark Souls and neither is Sekiro. Yes, they have been putting out Souls-likes ever since and abandoned all the various series they had before, but it's not actually true they have been doing nothing but the same thing over and over. The last AAA western action game i was able to finish was Doom Eternal, just to point out the kind of alteratives we have.īTW, one thing i need to point out here, and that is i actrually do not believe FromSoft has grown "stale" since breaking through mainstream success with Dark Souls. Whenever i feel like playing an action game that's addicting and impossible to put down, i have to either turn to FromSoft or fish out something from 20+ years ago. ![]() Also for me who hates animu and a lot of other crap that comes out of Japan FromSoft stands as a unique source of the kind of game style the Japanese appear to have mastered (arcadish, twitchy but not braindead combat) without any of the shit that bogs those games down to me (like the aformentioned animu and similar assorted faggotry). ![]() Maybe it's faint praise since the competition is so lacking but it's still a fact. I know, i know, Codex contrarianism compels people to even shit on Souls combat but the truth is that it's still miles, and i mean, MILES ahead of the shit out there. Yeah but it's like the Ubisoft of actual good combat (also, doesn't the fact they just released a new Armored Core game point out they are trying to diversify again?).
