you dont have to buy them every year

Sure I don't have to, but like I said: I'd rather they put more time and effort into development and innovations than to fall into the Pokemon trap of incremental changes. And if a lot of people are like me, the sales can slouch. Look at Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty - both much bigger series than Souls that have slowed down a bit due to yearly releases. You might be alright with a yearly Dark Souls game now, but if it means the series stagnates (like these series had) then your tune might change.

I will also like to add that I don't consider Bloodborne and Demon's Souls to be a problem if they come between Dark Souls releases in a yearly fashion. They are different enough from Dark Souls to merit a separate release schedule.

you compare souls to games who have almost zero level and gameplay design. Even Dark Souls 2 was better than anything those games ever came up with

These games were acclaimed when they first went mainstream as well. Call of Duty 4 had a 94% metacritic and Assassin's Creed II a 91%. Syndicate had a 76% Metacritic and Advanced Warfare an 83%.  Just because you might've not liked them doesn't mean that others didn't. I personally really enjoyed the CoD series from CoD2 through CoD4. After that it got stale and gimmicky. The same was true for Assassin's Creed until it peaked with IV.

How about a King's Field V? I would love that.

If people want yearly action RPGs like the Souls games from different developers, I'm all for it. But yearly releases from From Software? I think that's a mistake. Better to take a few year to optimize the game, debug, play test, and really develop and tease out new ideas and mechanics.

I wouldn't mind new IPs that are similar to the souls games but I don't want dark souls to become an annual series because it would undermine the quality of the games and burn people out on 'em. Games like bloodborne and Nioh are good because they offer something fresh to a developing genre.

The gaming community seems to HATE it when CoD /AC does it, so I'm guessing no one wants this either



Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 1, inFamous Second Son, Rocket League

I wouldnt mind. Back in the hay day of FF we used to get one every year and it was brilliant. From has two teams on two year life cycles, its a beautiful thing.



 

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

iLikeEggs on 13 May 2016

Me. It has my favorite Action RPG combat ever. each hit counts. Each hit requires patience and forethought. Each hit feels so rewarding. I need this shit. If they made a game like these that was just procedurally generated areas with enemies and no story, I would play it for the rest of my life. It's one direction I wish the modern 3D Zelda's took (to a degree). I love these games (Souls more-so than Bloodborne, but BB is still wonderful)

Considering the state of the last two entries, Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, I would mind. They're quality games, but they've been lacking in some areas that could be definitively polished had they had more time. It really shows that annualizing the series would bring certain amount of problems that would simply pile on top of more problems and eventually would kill the franchise in a very low note.

I definitely wouldn't mind another bloodborne,I loved that game,but every year?Nah,can do without.
