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 ... 

So why are you even here? I hate FPS but I don't go to the CoD threads to say how much that and other FPS franchises are milking their customers.

Demon's Souls (and then Dark Souls and Bloodborne) became popular because they are the first action RPGs that actually play as action RPGs are intended to. Full customization of the builds and realistic movements (assuming magic and else were possible, sure). There are people (like me, but I have read others feel the same) that after finishing one of those games don't feel like playing anything else, because any other game just feels bland, shallow. Then if you want to make me sleep after a D* Souls game just give me Skyrim or the like with its most awful and boring RPG combat system ever.

In any case a bi-yearly release, especially for an RPG which always introduces new monsters and environments isn't really milking. AC is milking. COD is milking. Forza is somehow milking. Racing sims after all they are more or less all the same, as they can't be otherwise given the strict constraints. Cars are cars and many circuits didn't change in many years. Still, talking about new iterations of RPG games, they are not much different from the expansions and updates on MMORPGs. And even if it is milking it doesn't matter. The developers are right doing so, because it means there is a demand. Just look at COD. All saying COD is declining while in reality it has the most sold game on XBone, the second on PS4.
