FROMSOFT'S FIRST MISS???

[Promised Consort Pengy]

I'm all for experimentation and would've been excited to see From take on something unique with the Souls formula but the battle royale / roguelite loot em up just screams trend-chasing and this game will die in 3 months max, Im going to be skipping this one

What trend are they chasing?

[Artek [General]]

I do not think this is trend chasing at all. The trend in question is honestly already dead - Fortnite pretty much got a monopoly on that.
No, i think this is something else...

From what we know - the game is primarily designed by the guy responsible for the combat design of From's recent games. I think after getting to experiment with combat systems in Sekiro and then ER where they got to spice up the usual Dark Souls combat formula of repeating same 2 attacks until your run out of stamina - the man appears to confident in his combat loop, and so he wants to try one more experiment:
+ ER combat loop
+ A bit of Sekiro
+ Rogue-like "use what you find" gameplay loop
+ Proper teamwork-based coop

Many people do love the coop element of these games, and many people like the combat loop... Hell, Elden Ring's greatest criticism is that the world is too big and there's too much walking around. This basically just going to condense the usual formula to raw combat: no time for exploration, no time for lore reading, its just go go go keep murdering as fast as you can.
Honestly - sounds fun, and chances that they will mess it up somehow are fairly low IMHO.

Only trend being chased is of people crapping on a dev for making a game that's not to their liking instead of just moving on to something else that is.

Agreed. This will be dead in no time.

[Hollow-Enigma]

With actual systems in place to off-set repetition, unlikely. Everyone is already having a field day just playing the other same games over and over again. Something actually designed to be played that way has a big advantage.

dark souls 2 is from softs first miss. Miyazaki just saved it from being unplayable.

[Sacred)(Rhaine]

The games just a side project anyway.

I bought the deluxe after the network test. It was only a taste but it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good. It's nonstop, perfectly proportioned and immediately accessible Elden Ring Coop PvE that has you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with all the weapons and spells you probably never touched in the main game. ER still has like 50k a day, all these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are going to be conditioned and jonesing for Neightreign

You know this is basically considered spam when you just copy and paste something from another post you did. Atleast take the time to write it out alittle differently before you get banned or jestered into the ground. Then no one on souls games will take you seriously even when you make good points.

There is only so many ways to say, "I played it, loved it. It is going to sell just like ER and SotE did".

[Shoah Kahn]

They can swing and miss, because 20M+ of ER sold gives them a lot of leeway. Indeed, with that big of an installed userbase, they can swing and be guaranteed to hit something -- the target market is just too big to miss.

Can I get my free clown award too, OP? I wanna get free points. Also it's gonna be extremely funny when the game is actually great when it releases. I'll gladly reply to every single thread to see how each doomer reacts.

No one doubt that i can be funny.

But will it be 40$ funny if there are free mods available which are same as funny and do nearly the same? Aka throw random mobs and stuff at you.

I once again ask for someone to name one mod that comes even close to what Nightreign does. And no, a simple randomizer is obviously not even remotely the same.
