Yeah, sadly, From Software is sort of a B-rate developer. However, they have known to churn out the odd gem, especially when working with new hardware (they developed the Otogi games for Xbox and the Lost Kingdoms games for GameCube, all of which, while not exactly system-sellers, are at least quality titles.)
Plus, Acquire is working on it in collaboration. So, really, it's up in the air as to whether this game will be good or not. I really hope it is.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
