Great. Hopefully they make a spiritual successor for DeS/BB in 2017 or 2018. And I'm waiting for my BB expansion. :S



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I don't think it's even remotely close.
Call of Duty resells the same stuff to you, and has been doing it for like a decade every year.

From Software is still to have any of the souls games in a following year to their predecessor.

Demon's Souls - 2009
Dark Souls - 2011
Dark Souls 2 - 2014
Dark Souls 3 - 2016

While Bloodborne is a different IP, even as it's taken as one of the Souls games, but has different gameplay and mechanics and is set in a different era.

Do you seriously mean that ? Answer only the truth and NOTHING but the truth ...

Don't you see the pattern yet ? 

Dark Souls 2 - 2014

Bloodborne - 2015

Dark Souls 3 - 2016 

That's already 3 games in a row with the same basic idea all in the span of 3 years ...

If that's not milking then I don't know what is and to make that even worse all of that is done by ONE studio who is arguably cutting and pasting more than Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer on their previous installments ...


Bloodborne is completley different to dark souls believe it or not and it was a coobrellation with Sony and Studio Japan. Its a special case you cant compare it. And what have you to talk about? You never played Bloodborne or have access to it so why complaining? You are a PC gamer you dont have a PS4

Now matter how you want to look at it, From Software isn't milking either Demon's Souls, which has only one game or Bloorborne, the same. Or even Dark Souls in a way comparable to CoD, as it'll have the third game in 6 years, while CoD would have 6.

I can agree that From Software is capitalizing, rightly, the style of game they created, hard fantasy 3rd person action rpg games, but that's it, there is none of the IPs they are involved (actually only Dark Souls, as Demon's and Blood are Sony IPs) that has actually been milked remotely close to CoD, until now.

Like I said before, "It's not exactly any better that their not using the IP yearly when they're practically throwing out similar games with similar mechanics in the same genre that their successful at" ... 

What people don't even realize is that with these games they are taking clear advantage of their customer base. Fans of Bloodborne are also most likely fans of Demon's and Dark Souls so in the end no matter what the IP is they are baiting the same customers over and over again at a yearly rate now ... 

That is milking no matter how you look at it ... 

i bought Dark Souls 2 on PS4, i didnt like it at all my copy is collecting dust while i am still playing Bloodborne. Same story with demon souls when i had PS+ i never played it besdies the first level. With Bloodborne i platinumed it.

I will only give Dark Souls 3 a last chance because it will be faster paced than other souls games and it will have better graphics who will give me more motivation

Irrelevant to this argument, don't go around discounting other people's choice of platform they play on ... 

"Completely different", you wish ... 

I'm not complaining so much as I am bringing up a realization ...

And a customer base can't grow or shrink ? 

Just because they succeeded in getting you doesn't mean that their not taking advantage of their customers ...

you never played both type of games to have an perspective unlike me. And like i said why does it matter to you, you dont have access to Bloodborne so the time period between Dark Souls 2 and 3 is 2 years instead annualized for you?

You should be glad that you get to play soon Dark Souls 3, no? Reading articles at gamespot doesnt give you the feel for playing Bloodborne, playing Bloodborne only does.

I am not a customer of From Software as I loathe all of their games but that doesn't change the fact that their annually drawing upon their own customer base ...

Yes. They are taking advantage of their customers by releasing games they want to play.

That's so totally lame of them.

I have to question your motivation to come here and downplay the studio in this way. Especially considering the fact you admit you don't even play their games, and also considering the nature of the OP, in which it is stated the new studio will focus on creating CG assets. What you've done so far is derail the thread into a meaningless bashing session, and I can't help but question your agenda here.

Then I guess we're all cool with the milking thing then ...
