counterpoint: this is another side-project GRRM can use to not write ASOIF books. IIRC he actually puts in lots of hours working on those (ie. wild cards), or blogging about football, maybe he'll finish this one quickly.

Don't worry, GRRM can still write plenty when he's motivated. He's written hundred of thousands of words in the past 9 years they're just not the words everyone wanted.

Exactly. he’s the mountain that doesn’t write... but only for ASOIF. for anything else he’ll throw himself into it.

lol I took one try at the first gauntlet, realised they had added whole new attacks and skills, and noped out. I'm happy with all my endings and memories.

Good luck everyone!

At this point they should just use the email where GRRM confirmed he wanted to do Elden Ring and put it in an item description and then have someone else write the rest of the game. No need to cancel the project or break contracts.

Because his inability to actually write anything has been a running gag in his large fandom/hatedom for 10-20 years at this point and people are looking for a new thing to apply the meme to

Also there is a minority of people who are serious and just don’t understand how games are made

I am very particular about biscuits, I'll have you know.
Definitely rusty and getting destroyed since not playing this since it came out. Anyway I like the DLC but I wish boss rush had a Retry option to minimize loading times. I might come back to it on PS5/XS if the loading is better.

I'm almost thinking about starting a new fresh game to learn not to hesitate again or lose muscle memory dodge from another game.

This is me. Some new dudes in the PS4 thread might be playing Sekiro for the first time so I'm getting the itch to play it fresh, too.

Though, I'll probably keep my old save, too because I have the challenge guantlet open.

So was checking out some numbers:

Demon's Souls sold about 1 million units on PS3

Dark Souls sold about 2 million copies initially across 2 platforms, then 3 million plus on PC
Dark Souls 2 probably sold under 5 million initially across 3 platforms
Dark Souls 3 has confirmed sold 10 million units across 3 platforms

The Dark Souls series, every unit across all platforms physical and digital including bundles and remasters, has sold 27 million units

Bloodborne sold about 2 million units on PS4

Sekiro just hit 5 million sold across 3 platforms





pretty rad numbers for a small dev team, especially sekiro just loving killin it for a new IP. would be rad if they did a Tomoe DLC or a sequel because the numbers don't lie, Sekiro is one of FROM's most successful releases of all time.

One day out of nowhere they’ll release an Armored Core game but with Sekiro gameplay.

And it will be perfect.

Inner Genichiro rules. Got my rear end kicked by Fire Isshin from lack of practice and havent found who the second new(?) boss on the second gauntlet might be (Emma is sadly still a mere speed bump despite being cool as poo poo)

Do the boss gauntlets scale with your NG+ count? My only save file is at like NG+4 and I'd rather play them with a balanced level first. Also wish I could get the Kuro Charm only for certain bosses.

I'm pretty sure the bosses are on the same NG+ cycle as your current save.

if not for them something else would've filled the same role. that's how this stuff works. dark souls wouldn't have succeeded if there weren't people who wanted to play a game like dark souls and as long as those people exist the same thing would've happened.

Dark Souls did have a huge impact (and mostly positive) on indie gaming. Its hard to see games like Hollow Knight or Hyper Light Drifter taking the forms they did without Dark Souls creating a new methodology for action games
