I have no secret agenda if that's what your on to ... 

They're making different titles from a game genre they excel at. They're not milking anything. 3 games in a franchise in 6 years isn't milking. They're called sequels, all of which are of great quality and polish, all of them build on the fondation of its predecessor and bring something new, and there's a market for those. Dark Souls 3 will be the last game in that series, and Miyazaki is moving on to something else after that.

You don't like their games. That's fine. They're not for everyone. Why not move on to something else, instead of downplaying something you clearly have no first hand knowledge of?

That is a lie when these games have their clear intended audience ... 

So I'm not allowed to downplay anything like almost all of us have been doing at the start of this community ? 

If you have a bone to pick with then just come out with it ... 

So no sequel can ever be made by any developer. Because if they do, they're simply taking advantage of their target audience. Screw the audience for wanting more. Sequels are bad, and people should just want to play other kind of games after they've played a given title.  They want to play more of that game type? Pff. Screw them. We're not making more. We wouldn't want someone who doesn't play our games to accuse us of doing shameless milking when we're in fact giving our customers what they want from us.

Oh please. You probably hated Fallout 3 because it's Oblivion with guns

Huh, Video games forum.

fatslob-:O got it correctly. Fromsoft IS milking system they established from Demon's Soul.

...And what is so wrong about that? There is nothing inherently bad about Milking. If they make their sequel somehow worse, that is their fault for making bad games, not milking itself that is problem.

Yearly sequel isn't inherently bad, but the sequel being bad is. Dark Soul and Bloodborne does well because it delivers expectation. Call of Duty's downfall was not repeating same formula over and over, but somehow getting worse in map design, presentation, story and multiplayer features on the way.

And this new studio? It is probably made to reduce the hassle and recycling they are doing in order to keep up with current generation's expensive and time consuming development process.

I don't care if they are releasing yearly or not as long as they know what they need to improve, alter, and continue.

COD : Ghost / AC3 was a spectacular failure because they missed what made them great in haste to make something new. Ubisoft later understood how to carry their series forward while Activision didn't. That is how I view this. (Of course, then they screwed everything up by making game unthinkably buggy.)

And in era of unreasonable development cost, sequelization became kinda mandatory too...

More darksouls and bloodboorne incoming they want to milk them to hell

It's great to see that From Software is growing!

Assassin's Creed and COD are fantastic games too, calling a comparison between them an "insult" to souls games is an insult to those games.

Add to that:

- Bloodborne is a huge massive homage to H.PLovecraft

- Neither of the games milk dlc and season passes like COD 

- the level design of not genius is borderline genius. The same can never be said about any COD or in that matter any FPS. It's Inception level badass.
