I think my only actual complaint about this is you can either solo or have 3 people, not just two. My complaint is because not a lot of my friends play a game like this or just outright never even try to see if they like so, I am stuck with maybe one other friend.

I'm not sure, but it seems people think they are entitled to pure soulslike titles by Fromsoftware, no spin offs with anything but a focus on story, atmosphere and single player playability.

These people don't understand how big Fromsoftware is by now. Not are they most likely already cooking at least one more major soulslike, they have to make smaller projects like this spin off with multiplayer focus, in order to not having to lay off people like it's common in the industry when a big title is finished.

This game will be fun, even if it's not for everyone, just like I don't care about armoured core, but even I can see that it's a great title.

I’m not mad- but from what I’ve seen this will be the first FROM-made game in the Souls World I don’t really have interest in since sekiro.
I like the builds, the options, the exploring. I still have stuff in every souls game I want to do in each game and go back to play each on over and over over the years. If this game ends up being what I think it is- it just doesn’t have the things I play souls games for… I enjoy the combat but this seems to be appealing to someone other than me. Hopefully I’m wrong.
I have been worried about some of the companies buying shares in FROM- hopefully this isn’t related to tencent (I think it’s them) starting to have influence.

thats fair, n i do hope that future info/footage mite help to get u interested, but its all good.

personally, as somebody who remembers that FROM used to make all types of games, im happy to see em branch out again

I’m fine with them making AC and other games- I worry that if this sells like crazy then might go in this direction and less of the SoulsBorne that turned them into a household name.

[0wnz0r]

r u afraid they would only make stealth action games since sekiro was such a success? or only mecha games since AC was a success? lol u ppl rly need to use ur heads more

[clarkeveritas]

Wow straight to being condescending even though there was nothing in what I wrote that should have trigger you so hard. If people were polite you wouldn’t see so many of these threads become angry mobs yelling at each other.
They have said they are working on the next AC game and this roguelike. Since it’s been 3 years since Elden ring- it would certainly be nice to hear if they DO have another mainline Souls Game.
I would assume they would make another one- but if I’m correct that tencent has their claws in From that’s another thing that makes one worry a bit.

[0wnz0r]

trust me bro, souls games put modern FROM on the map. u got nothin to worry about. n dont get so mad about a lil sarcasm man. i promise u it was harmless.

[Vantus]

They should have just called it "Nightreign".

Putting "Elden Ring" in front of it sets an expectation that I suspect a good few Elden Ring fans may be slightly disappointed in.

I'm all for spicing up a formula by adding to it. That's how game series improve over time.
You maintain the core features that people love and add extra features worth justifying a sequel.

Outright changing core elements of a game or removing beloved features (such as character creation and build versatility), is likely going to upset diehard fans of a title.

I see this a lot in modern gaming. Developers clinging onto IP's by name only, while the mechanics drift farther and farther away from what made them popular.

Look at No More Room In Hell 2 for a recent example.

If they'd just come up with a new working title, it would save them a decent amount of backlash from fans looking for an improved version of the game they love.

[0wnz0r]

ur wrong n also make no sense. this aint a sequel. its a spinoff. reread my initial post for context

Selling an asset flip like it's a brand new AAA game is pretty greedy.

I'm kind of on the fence with the game concept but in any case there's no F way I'll buy it for that price out of principle. And that DLC is the cherry on the top!

[Buddusky]

Of course mad: what did they bring to the table? Any new mechanics? Oh yeah, there is: a grapple hook, lol.

This can only be mod-worthy content at its best.
