FROM Software title, with the story writer being George R.R. Martin, so everyone is just assuming it'll be completely batshit bananas good.

You'd think people would learn from when they said the exact same thing about Cyberpunk.

I mean, I trust From to make a good game way more than I ever trusted CDPR to do so, but still.

The FROM games such as the Souls and Bloodbornes and the like are very good at what they set out to be, but I never understood the rabid obsession people have with insisting they’re the end all be all of gaming. They’re certainly not for everyone.

I’ve beaten a handful of them, they’re compelling and evocative and challenging as gently caress. But constantly championing them as the best games ever released always puzzled me.

From Software has the cache to literally saying NOTHING about the game except for one trailer that doesn't explain anything. That is the only official/believable thing and that's how excited people are for it.

Cyberpunk on the other hand had years and years of constant insane promises and pre-rendered video that everyone was led to believe was real and on PC/last gen hardware.

Of course there is always a chance Elden Ring will be disappointing, but it won't be on hype or false promises. Plus also they made fucken bloodborne dark souls demons souls and sekiro

Like anytime someone in the PS4 thread was like hey guys what game should I get for my new system the same handful of people come out to scream how Bloodborne is the greatest game of all time play that. But I can think of plenty of other titles that are just as good and probably a lot more accessible to a wider audience.

I’m not saying they aren’t good and unique games, but the rabid following they’ve cultivated is a bit much sometimes.

Yeah Sekiro rules I agree

Bloodborne has the fan base it does because it’s extremely rare for an action video game to hit on all the levels it does. Bloodborne is a surprisingly emotionally and psychologically resonant game for a lot of people who otherwise don’t connect with video games in the same way, and conversely if you’re someone who really loves VIDEO GAMES, there are some for whom Bloodborne is basically The Best Video Game.

Not sure how Opinions being subjective puzzles you? A lot of people have Nintendo ips in their greatest of all time but I don't rate any of them highly except Fire Emblem series.

Fromsoft games are some of my favorite games but I can completely see why someone would not like any of their games(since they are very similar).

Ya honestly if this game is a buggy mess or it's complete shight. It isn't really Fromsoft or Bandai Namco's fault in terms of marketing. They have in fact not marketed it at all.

A real hellraiser


I finished Shadow of the Tomb raider and I know this series is basically considered a lesser Uncharted but I have to say I think it did a better job past the first chapter of making me not actually mind having to kill the villains. In Uncharted I always feel bad about how many people I gotta kill but in the second 2/3rds of Shadow I was like "gently caress these assholes"

I guess I didn't care for all the Yaaxil the game asked me to kill but also it made them sufficiently scary that it seemed more like self defense.

Absolutely it's not a good idea. But, Dark Souls and Bloodborne (and Sekiro) are my favourite games of all time, by quite a margin. If it's nothing but just "more of that" I will feel totally content and the hype will have been worth it.

I can’t see From falling into the traps that make open world games trash. They are probably not going to have slay n of creature x, talk to guy at point A then talk to guy at point B (on other side of map), yellow exclamation marks everywhere type of junk. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even give you a map
