The release of every new challenging FromSoft game never fails to spark heated discussions regarding how people need to stop whining about the game's unforgiving difficulty and just "Git gud". Despite the debut of several challenging games in recent memory, with no difficulty options like Hollow Knight or Dead Cells, none of them have managed to ignite the same amount of tension as FromSoft's titles did among the media. While a similar case can be made for games that try to rip off the Souls formula like Lords Of The Fallen or The Surge, where most people just label them as mediocre Souls-clones and move on. The most probable reason for this widespread hysteria might just be FromSoft's massive popularity compared to other niche developers, but it definitely does not mean that they should be asked to lose their signature style.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."

Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
Easy mode? More like, Game Reviewer and Snowflakes mode
These people asking for an easy mode wouldn’t survive playing Battletoads Double Dragon and Spiderman Maximun Carnage if they were released today.
For once/twice/Trice we get a from soft game in a gen that encapsulates the feel of classic gaming: No MTs, no handholding gameplay, challenging gameplay. Yet, the gamers of today are so used to dumbed down gaming that they complain to FromSoft to also dumb down their games just so they can play it too
If you can’t beat any of those games and don’t try hard enough to overcome them, then FromSoft games are not for you. Simple!
Now this guy gets it.
Creative Freedom. If you start taking creative freedom away from developer where do you think that will eventually lead? EA, Activitsion, Ubisoft often cater to the lowest common mass market denominator adn as a result relsease the same mediocre games over and over and over again.
Let FROMSOFT do their thing. If it's not for you then do yourself a favour and please move on to any of the othe rmillion casual games out there.
Don't know why it's so hard for people to get that some games just aren't for you. Look i love the worlds, characters, design, story and presentation many classic JRPGs have, but i can't stand turned based(nothing against it, just isn't fun for me) combat so i never play them unless they have something more active and arcadey. Does that mean i wish they would change the combat system to suit me? HELL NO! it's not for me, and if i really want that experience in a gameplay style i would enjoy more i can look elsewhere and find that if i look hard enough.
the core pillar to these games is the difficulty, the whole draw is the satisfaction of overcoming the challenge, if you don't like challenge then why are you trying to play a soulsborne game? that's like me bitching that Kirby's Epic Yarn doesn't have an extreme difficulty, game just isn't for someone looking for a challenge, or going to watch the Avengers only to complain that there isn't enough Romantic Comedy moments. I thought this was basic logic, common sense, but apparently it isn't.
People asked for easy mode on flappy bird.
I always like the idea of the Paradox Interactive grand strategy games but I suck at them, I don't get them, they are too complicated etc etc. But I don't expect them to change their game to make it easy for people like me either, I just stopped buying them.
