Yea with elden ring selling as well as it has id say were getting elden ring 2 next and no complaints from.ke if that is the case, also wouldnt complain if theybdid something new though so either way im good.

Exactly, just a tired formula hyped by so many people just discovering Soul-types. Combat is so basic that you wonder how the hell it's getting away with it. Games like: Nioh, Sekiro, GoW, hell even Strangers of Paradise have blazing fast, progressive combat. Story is all over the place because how dare the game have structure. The open world makes it more of a chore to play than a marvel to behold. I've grinded out to lv 390 but making it to 400 just seems pointless. The boss fights are cheap not challenging, which isn't helped with the nerfing of weapons. Just a very dated formula in an open world setting, and I really wanted to like this game. I'm just not willing to jump on the "best game ever" bandwagon. Perhaps for individuals with a very limited library, that makes it more understandable.

At least he didn't ask for an easy mode in the article

They have done something else.

Check out their game called Déraciné on PSVR.

Try fingers, but hole

Platinumed ekden ring, absolutely loved it. Coukd still play it more as there's plenty more to discover. I want from software to continue to make these kind of games....

Honestly I just want more souls style games lol. No need for them to risk and change it up if most are still loving their games. At least they do make different sorta experimental games like sekiro and bloodborne that are still top notch.

I got bored of the game after I was satisfied with making my mage lmao. In games like that, I tend to enjoy the creation part over the game. Spent like 4 hours on it's week character creation just because lol. Then started over like 5 times in 10 hours. Finally got what I wanted. After I got everything I wanted I had no interest in doing more boss rushes lol. It got old quick for me personally

They made sekiro, that was different. They're also making a new armored core so thst should be interesting.

The only thing I think they need to change is their graphics engine. That Def needs an upgrade, otherwise.... Maybe you should just play other games.

I think it feels different and I love the game despite being a little bit bored of the formula by the time DS3 came out.

I wouldn't have minded if they'd mixed up some of the more superficial elements for Elden Ring. Feels like it's got the same font, sound effects, weapon names. Same red phantoms and a multitude of other things. Could have changed some of that stuff to freshen it up.

I disagree. They have done very well with this formula and should continue. Wish we got a Bloodborne 2.

It's like asking EA to not make another Fifa, as long as it makes money.. they will keep doing it.

Elden Ring just makes me excited for what they'll cook up next. Sure, it's the same (much loved) formula at it's core, but it's also massively different in a lot of other ways and packed full of great new ideas.

Play Sekiro... it's very different to the "From" formula... similar but very different.

I'm still waiting on a new Armored Core game, Souls games are great and all, but something different would be even better, especially if it's an Armored Core game.

They are. They’re working on the next armored core.

I would like to see FromSoftware's take on sci Fi.

I can see them doing some type of dystopian, bleak, neo type future or an abandoned advanced civilization that was betrayed by their own technology that is still alive and expanding.

Maybe a racing game where the red invader cars drive the wrong way and you have to praise the son of Earnhardt to get support to run them off the road. If the race is still too difficult to defeat then you can ring a bell and Dale Sr. will appear and dominate your competition for you. I nominate this as the most random F'd up post I've made this year.

Article titles like this make me wish game "jOuRnAlIsTs" would do something else.

They do something else...the writer says they should have stuck to their strengths. Play some other kind of game. There are different genre for different days.

like a coherent story or ending/s? demon souls remake did better.

Perhaps a departure from software?

Eh…eh? ;)

"It has few elements that typically make open-world games engaging, and those it does are hidden behind obtuse design decisions that have been subject of what little criticism has made it through the cracks of constant praise."
When I checked the article this paragraph was linking to, I was sorta baffled that the journalists took serious of many western devs' criticism over the game's UI, especially when many of those devs were known on working with games with cluttered UI. Have they not seen what Ubisoft open world games look like?

I think they are working on Armor Core and something else. So wish granted.

They won’t.

Play something else.

Well we've got Armored Core 6 in the works. You could give that a try for a change of pace (unless they just remake it into mech souls).

Its good, but not that good, Elden ring better for sure

Deserved but it's not the revelation people make it out to be. If it was made by Square, EA, or any giant publisher out there, I guarantee it won't get the recoginition they deserve. People just love and sympathize with the underdog story.

Elden Ring kept me hooked for around 250 hours, whereas with Clair Obscur, well, I just can't move forward with the game. The exploration in the game is so lacking, just a tunnel after another to the next location or awkward jumping and always the same type of a battle waiting behind the corner. Reminds me of FFXIII, which is the least favourite game in the series for me and I played all of them.

I think Clair Obscur is good, but not great. For me personally, Elden Ring is 9.5/10, and Clair Obscur 7.5. I really like what the studio did, though, and they should be proud of it. I just think the hype got away a little bit.
