>Take a Souls game >Cut 99% of its content >Put it on a Japanese setting, the most boring setting imaginable >Sell it for full price
It's like McDonalds taking the Big Mac, removing both meat patties, the special sauce, and the pickles, replace them with lettuce, adding some thymus dust on it and then selling it at full price under the name "Round Sandwich".
I thought people liked the combat in Souls games, what's wrong with Sekiro's approach to it?
Jayden Sullivan
>the most boring setting imaginable speak for yourself, we also do not know what is cut or not from that demo it's first from soft combat I want to learn, it looks great
Luis Collins
I think he's upset because of no multiplayer and builds
Juan Lee
looks like faster Nioh, which great for me.
Jonathan Richardson
>thymus dust ???
Zachary Miller
combat was never the selling point its shallow and boring
>have a successful series that gives you easy money >instead going for the cheap way of rehash the same game every year like a westcuck developers would do >From Software actually does something new
The last game that got autistically shitposted this hard prior to release was RE2 remake, which ended up being based as fuck. I expect the same with this game
Joseph Johnson
>I thought people liked the combat in Souls games No one liked Souls for the combat; it's the lore and the atmosphere that makes the games worth playing. As Matthew explained, Souls combat is pure garbage, unlike spectacle fighters like Ninja Gaiden or Bayonetta.
Robert Scott
Matthew said the combat didn't have much depth, not that it was bad. I'd say what it lacks in depth, it makes up for with timing and the weight of combat as a whole. The combat and fights are a huge draw of the series.
Kevin Roberts
>cut content source?
Asher Lee
It's an autists way of saying the game doesn't have builds like Souls or multiplayer
Tyler Williams
we were having shill threads for every shit game so far, sekiro will fail hard and it will be funny to watch
>no builds are there no choices in character progression? >no multiplayer who cares lmao >inb4: but muh streams fuck your zoomer streams
Chase Ramirez
>food anomalies
Kayden Morgan
atmosphere and fashoinsouls is, also it does what gothic does best -unique item placements it's simply superb action RPG, combat is the least fun part of it
Jonathan Moore
kill yourself
Jace King
Because muh pvp, brought to you by the retards who think DS2 is good
Matthew Reyes
>are there no choices in character progression? you can customize your robotic arm which I believe should affect your play style quite a bit.
Sebastian Wilson
Combat isn't the least fun part. People jerk themselves all day about how good the bosses are because the combat is fun.
Blake Garcia
If this were PS4 exclusive Yea Forums would be slobbering all over it.
John Collins
DS2 is good though, it's more atmospheric than DS3 at least I really do not get the point of multiplayer in from games, it was nice novelty in demon souls, but who except several hundred artists plays it?
Ryan Morgan
>add actual story not cryptic bullshit >remove leveling to prevent cheesing game >new mechanics for more interesting bosses (can’t cheese by overleveling) >voiced protagonist for interesting story >second half of game with likely be bloodborne-esque with blood cult, half chicken men, giant snakes and other animals >talent tree instead of levels for better player choice and gameplay >not wasting precious development time on shitty pvp, netcode, balance
This will be Miyazaki’s greatest game so far and will be what bloodborne would’ve been if it was a real single player action game without the tacky RPG elements and bad multiplayer.
People seem to forget that From's very roots are mired in playing as an established character in a setting.
Kings Field are their roots, and theyre going back to that, but japanese themed.
Still should have been Tenchu though.
Caleb Baker
bosses are not a fun part. you spend several hours learning absolutely useless timings to perfection to move on for a better content. I despise boss combat because it's not skill of fighting, it's a skill of learning something by heart.
Cameron Torres
wrong, souls and monster hunter have the best combat. you probably like the witcher and assassin's creed quicktime event based combat
Josiah Cruz
i'd really appreciate if you didn't post something so fucking dumb ever again
>take game >make completely different game >call it something different wtf
Anthony Peterson
>I despise boss combat There we go. YOU despise it, but the vast majority of players love it.
William Lopez
Based
Angel Sullivan
Neither was multiplayer or tacked-on RPG mechanics. It was always about bosses, enemies, exploration, and atmosphere.
Gabriel Cruz
most gamers love mindless repetition, that's their nature
Jaxson Ross
>It's not a skill of fighting, it's a skill of learning something by heart Isn't that the whole combat knowing when to strike and when to back off?
Jayden Ross
>I despise boss combat because it's not skill of fighting, it's a skill of learning something by heart. m8 you're talking about a singleplayer video game. There is zero skill in memorizing the tells of an enemy. Combo mads with DMC and their ilk are not the norm. If you want true challenge, play a multiplayer game.
Cameron Long
name a singleplayer game where this isn't the case
Justin Hall
>Take a Souls game >Cut 99% of its content >Put it on a grimdark victorian setting, the most boring setting imaginable >Sell it for full price I can't count how many posts like this I saw around early 2015. And Bloodborne was still a good game. Better than most Dark Souls games in my opinion. It at least taught me that when Yea Forums will cry and shitpost about anything even if it becomes a game that the board latches onto when it's out.
Christopher Brooks
Not him, but every videogame is mindless repetition.
David Davis
Casuals were hoping that Fromsoft would make their next games easy so they could finally enjoy them. Now they're ass blasted that they will miss out on another series of games that are 10/10.
Nicholas Murphy
it's also about positioning, thing with bosses is that they got patterns you simply learn them and play like scenario, is it just me who plays souls game like that? I get more rush from fighting 5 skeletons than some uber boss because their timing aren't in sync every time I fight them.
Dominic Ward
similar shit was shitposted when BB was about to be released, also fuck pvpfags they all should be gassed and their ashes should be pissed on
Jeremiah Thomas
ironically it looks a lot like BB(best game ever to exist of course)
Kayden Anderson
>Cut 99% of its content Stopped reading there. Go post stupid bullshit somewhere else, retard. What triggered you now, did you see a nigger in the game or something?
Liam Bailey
Nobody plays Souls games for the combat. They play it for the PvP and character building/customization. It's an RPG at its core.
Grayson Perez
it's nothing like nioh the only similar thing is that they both use a medieval japanese setting
Nathan Powell
>thinking casuals have this much interest in souls games First of all, if you go on the internet to discuss videogames and voice your opinions, even reddit, you are not a casual, even if you only like easy games. You are too interested in videogames for that. I work at a vidya store and let me tell you, the majority are actual casuals. They buy games based on what they hear in marketing, what they see on the cover and what their friends tell them about. They don't actively search out industry informations about upcoming titles or whatever, they do not care about the developer unless it's Nintendo. They are like people buying a random bottle of wine for dinner. They don't care about the year or the region the wine came from, maybe they pick something they have heard of, but most of their distinction focuses on red vs white. The industry needs them because the majority of wine being sold goes to people like them. Casuals don't know Fromsoft. If they hear about souls games, they heard that it was hard and they were immediately disinterested. Since they don't discuss games on forums or read any vidya outlets, they have usually have no reason to think that the souls games hold anything of value to them that might be worth the difficulty. Sorry for the blogpost. Second, your post is a literal figment of your imagination.
Jayden Jones
This. PvP is the only reason why people bothered to play the games, to the point where the series is considered more of an open world fighting game than a single player game. You're deluded if you think otherwise.
Aiden Moore
As a massive From fag this game just seems off to me. Like it was made in less than a year for a quick buck to satisfy the investors. I really am hoping to be proven wrong and it would turn out great but things aren't looking very good so far. Really unfortunate.
It's a mix of BB and Tenchu by the looks of it and it uses a shitload of fundamentals from Tenchu both in gameplay and how the upgrade system works by the looks of it. Which is a really cool thing.
Christopher Moore
I'll still buy it day one and enjoy every bit of it.
only an extremely small minority play dark souls for the pvp >b-b-but my youtube ecelebs!!
Jeremiah Allen
The people keeping the games alive are PvPers. The people majority are in it for the singleplayer. There are still new videos of no-hit runs of the Souls games that get hundreds of thousands of views, whereas the PvP videos that come out every day get 10-20k by the hardcore PvP fans.
I feel like I’m in a time machine back when plenty of people were shit-talking Bloodborne for being different.
Levi Gomez
OUGH! FOOD ANALOGY.... SHITTING O . WEEBS... OUUUGHH. BASED! SO FUCKING BASED!
Grayson Hall
>The people keeping the games alive why does single player game needs to be kept alive again? You play it once, and if it's good you replay it in a year or two.
Leo Turner
>no multiplayer unironically based miyazaki these tears from faggots are delicious cant wait for sekiro
James Kelly
It's probably the same autists too.
Angel Parker
>Take a Souls game
It ain't a Souls game, when will you fuckers learn From isn't a Souls-making machine, they can make other games too.
>Put it on a Japanese setting, the most boring setting imaginable
I think you meant to say Tolkienland there. Or DraQueland. The number of games that take place in a generic medieval land with orcs and elves outnumber the samurai ones 10:1, it's ridiculous to think a Japanese setting is "the most boring setting imaginable".
Carter Wood
PvP is not that interesting after a while. Personally, I can't stand the lag.
Luis Brooks
Haha yeah dude DmC was a great step for the DMC franchise!
Thomas Barnes
I wasn't making a judgment call. I was stating a fact. Why do single player games with multiplayer need to be kept alive? Not interested in why. I'm interested in fun. I can definitely see why people aren't fond of it, but it sates a hunger that absolutely no other game can.
>are there no choices in character progression? You don't pick up new weapons or armor or anything, you just improve stealth or combat through a talent like tree I believe.
Christian Brown
Why the hell are SotN Minotaur and Werewolf on there? They're a pretty underwhelming fight.
Addendum: This was confirmed in one of a series of Game Informer exclusive interviews. I don't remember which video, but they interviewed Yuka Kitamura and she's pretty cute. Crazy that a woman so young was behind the BB, DSIII, and a few Scholar tracks. youtube.com/watch?v=A9NpbnBaDPE
Dominic Morgan
western cucks and soul babs think they can shitpost this game but unlike memeout it will score a 93 at least and btfo naysayers so kys quickly
Lincoln Flores
>published by Activision Can't wait for microtransactions out of the ass and lootboxes for le epic gear xD. Shills will still defend this I bet. From is dead.
Adrian Cox
Souls PvP was only good when all players involved tried to be the biggest shitters possible. It was ruined when "honorable duel" fags started moving in.
Xavier Collins
From are self publishing in Japan though
John Howard
what epic gear the game doesnt even have gear
Anthony Ortiz
Just invade exclusively in the Irithyll/Anor Londo section. That is literally everything you want.
David Flores
I like how the souls babs seething.
Camden Hughes
Well, It was. Meanwhile every single person who already had its hands on DMC5, the supposed "return to form" have found 5 to be the worst game in the series.
Elijah Miller
It's not a soulslike though
Jaxson Scott
>Shills will still defend this I bet No doubt, they're already doing it in DMC5 threads.
>be devs >make game series that attracts a rabid autistic fanbase >now cannot make a different game in a different genre without said people throwing a fit
Brandon Cruz
I keep coming back to Yea Forums to see if things have gotten any better. Nope. It's still terminally retarded.
Joshua Torres
This is the worst bait that I've seen in the last week.
Daniel Phillips
The problem with the fuedal Japan setting is that it feels like if you've played one game you've played them all.
Not sure how this game is going to be better than Nioh or Onimusha.
Jose Harris
How can you feel threatened by a person like that?
Zachary Stewart
No diablo loot for starters.
Daniel Ross
Go play DS2 then
Asher Flores
No loot at all even! What an improvement!
Wyatt Hughes
Why are PC fags so poor? Should have made it a PS4 exclusive
They spent too much on their pc and have to justify it with 1000 hour multiplayer games.
Connor Morgan
I honestly think it is. This gen has been plagued with unneccessary item and inventory management and RPG systems in games that are not RPGs. Give me few but meaningful upgrades. Less numbers, more visceral gameplay.
Charles Lopez
Looking forward to playing this after DMC5. Great month desu.
Luis Barnes
BECAUSE OP CANT ROLEPLAY AS A GIRL PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA OHNOONONONONONONONO
Angel Jackson
I'm sure you do, you'll bend over backwards to gargle Froms ballsack. But why?
Daniel Edwards
if this was a ps4 exclusive this thread would nothing but golden faces. but because its a mutliplatfrom game shitposting wont stop.
Gabriel Morris
no, it would be shitposting and goldfaces
Gabriel Gutierrez
>Some Irish idiot is the basis for my opinion
Souls combat is fun. It mixes pure skill with moment to moment decision making perfectly. Just because some guy makes an hour long video on something doesn’t mean his opinion is valid
Xavier Barnes
Bloodborne discussion is good, so was Nioh before PC release. PC fags are cancer incarnate.
Benjamin Ward
t. golden face
Levi Bennett

Lucas Scott
Souls PVP sucks. It’s so laggy and unfair.
I only play the games for singleplayer
Robert Cruz
THE SOULS COMMUNITY >FromSoft fans => they love FromSoft games and will play anything made by them with interest >Old Souls fans => they started with Demon's Souls and played all the games >New Souls fags => they cried to have Dark Souls on PC and only played DSI, II & III >MP fags => they only want online pvp and character custom
I can only tolerate medieval settings in Video Games.
Justin Ross
Goldface is shitposting
David Ortiz
>Faster than nioh Have you even played nioh? Sekiro looks way slower.
Dominic Sullivan
>combat was never the selling point Then what the hell was?
Elijah Thompson
>>New Souls fags => they cried to have Dark Souls on PC and only played DSI, II & III >>MP fags => they only want online pvp and character custom these are the same ones they wont accept anything that is slightly different from dark souls
Henry Cooper
Bloodborne had very little character customization and almost no pvp at launch yet it’s the best game in the series.
Explain that
Gavin Wilson
This is why /dsg/ and /bbg/ we’re separate and why /bbg/ was much better
Grayson Cruz
The fuck are you on about? Nioh looks much slower in comparisom
Jaxon Jones
I only have money for one game and I got this preordered instead of dmc v because it comes with a steel case.
Guess dmc can wait till it’s $40 bargain price
Jack Martinez
It is, it’s just seething PC poorfags trying to cope.
Cooper Murphy
>looks
Jaxon Adams
>Japanese setting >the most boring setting imaginable
What the fuck is wrong with you hipster newfag? Go away and suck some cocks somewhere else.
Isaiah Perry
Bloodborne is much closer to the souls series than it is to sekiro, sekiro is not even the same genre. It's progression system is like devil may cry.
Aiden Adams
Yeah because I haven’t played Sekiro yet idiot
Jeremiah Williams
DS2 is great you "muh forced difficulty" shitter, who sucks at pvp
Jack Jenkins
Why is this game £50 bong dollars on steam?
Jeremiah Rogers
You know, FS is not just about Souls games, you gigantic faggot. I for one would REALLY welcome if they did some proper fresh/new games again. The Souls hype is over long time.
Ethan Hill
Well yeah, shitposters just take any image from their shitpost folder that fits the current shitposting trend. Good observation. No point posting goldfaces when the game isn't a sony exclusive. You should get familiar with the notion that shitposters are just shitposters. They aren't sony shitposters, zelda shitposters, no. Just shitposters. They post what they want when they want to to make people like you reply.
Camden Campbell
Because Activision. Bloodborne and DS3 were both £35-40 at release but Shitkiro is £50 on every platform
Colton Thompson
>third person with swords = souls About as retarded as the people who infer that souls created dodging
>The Souls hype is over long time. For you. Also, Sekiro isn't a souls game. It's not even an RPG. They are doing a proper fresh game and you don't want to see it.
Benjamin Hill
Who cares if it’s like Dark Souls? Maybe it’s good that it’s different.
Christopher Cox
Combat was entirely the selling point of the Souls games autismo
Joseph Peterson
>You know, FS is not just about Souls games, Yeah they also make other games that don't get much attention and hardly even got place on shelves.
Brayden Evans
OP I know you're the kind of piece of shit that shits on Bloodborne, Nioh, Sinner and The Surge etc for spawning "souls like games" and referring to them like they have anything in common with your shitty meme game, so stop doing the same thing with Sekiro and acting like its a fucking Souls-Like, faggot
Isaiah Wood
I want a dark souls battle royale
Jaxson Rodriguez
I would imagine the person making a comparison to bloodborne does care.
Bloodborne has a shit ton more customization and multiplayer interaction than sekiro will, because sekiro will not have either.
>it's the lore and the atmosphere that makes the games worth playing Haha No son
Jeremiah Parker
I just learned that you can't make your own character in DMC5 either, why are both Souls games this month so shitty?
Daniel Flores
>t. got dabbed on too hard by based red phantoms Theres literally no reason to be happy about the removal of multiplayer unless you're a shitter baby who unironically gets mad when they die to reds. Invasions added an element of unpredictability and genuine excitement. Now its gone.
Wyatt Taylor
I’m the one saying Bloodborne was pretty different from Dark Souls in a lot of ways and it ended up being great. While there’s similarities, the differences are what make Bloodborne fun.
The game isn’t even out yet and there’s very little info out there about it, yet you fags act like you’ve been playing it for years and already know everything about it and know it will suck. You guys are fucking retarded. Play the game and then says it sucks
No garbage characters creator is good mad no cancerous multiplayer is good too. This will literally be From’s best game to date.
Samuel Thomas
Post this again, but in english this time.
Oliver Bennett
>You don't pick up new weapons or armor or anything
people liked Bloodborne so it might work again.
Jaxon Young
There is enough info for your bloodborne to dark souls comparison to make no sense. Bloodborne is not differen't from dark souls in that you have a predetermined character with predetermined weapons and armor that you cannot change as the story progresses.
Samuel Sullivan
No garbage character creator is good and no cancerous multiplayer is good too. This will literally be From’s best game to date.
David Ross
Is that a joke about the armor sets in Bloodborne not making much of a difference and that the starting weapon is the best weapon in the game
Jaxson Price
bloodborne has weapons and armours though
Adam Turner
I think DS3 was the first one that she completely carried on her back but she definitely contributed to how DS2's DLCs were notably better than the rest of the game by a whole lot
Isaac Smith
>No loot >Can't create a waifu >No PVP >"Fast and easy" Souls combat >Generic historical Japan setting
This game will flop hard.
Mason Taylor
>will flop hard >already top selling on Steam 3 weeks away from release oh nonononono
From Software is the Orgin Publisher though in Japan. Activion just has a publishing license outside of Japan.
It’s similar to what Square Enix and Nintendo does with Bravery Default
Brandon Jones
>It’s similar to what Square Enix and Nintendo does with Bravery Default Butcher it?

That's basically exactly what i wrote

I just run away from them wasting their time and making them leave, fucking hilarious seeing those autists squirm.
Austin Mitchell
>7 posts until this awful food analogy was called out You're slipping Yea Forums.
Kevin Torres
I do, but the combat is only one smaller aspect out of many many bigger things that make the series unique. Sekiro seems like a very generic third person stealth action game. I would've expected something less formulaic from the developers of dark souls.
Christian Perry
I pay hollowed or unembered. If it happened that I was human for some reason and got invaded, I just walk back to the bonfire and let them kill me without fighting back.

What’s the exclusive pre-order content?
Anthony Diaz
I got bored of pvp after dark souls 1. Sure it was fun for a while to cosplay as golem or lautrec in the appropriate areas, or even meme on the game with a giantdad build. But you have to be a special kind of autistic to play souls pvp for hundreds of hours.
Brayden Foster
Not a clue. Mentioned a digital artbook and soundtrack but I'm not sure if that's just a pre-order bonus everywhere.
Nathaniel Anderson
yeah because multiplayer in souls games is something you autists really do a lot.
it took less than amonth for dark souls remastereds playerbase to die, and your rose tinted nostalgia made you forget that PVP in the game was actually a garbage backstab fishing simulator.
when most people just disconnect from the internet the moment they get invaded, you know that the masses wont miss multiplayer in sekiro.
hey autists, maybe try to ruin the pvp game less in the future with your retarded gank squads, maybe pvp will actually survive then. you losers and your shitty behavior are the reason every normal person ignores it.
Ian Fisher
fuck you it's the assasin's creed japan I waited for years
I want to impregnate Reimu's sweaty, musky, pheromone soaked armpits
Xavier Thompson
>GAME Exclusive means that the Sekiro Standard Edition, with free digital artbook and mini soundtrack can only be bought in the UK from GAME stores or Game.co.uk. Apparently the only place in UK weird
call me selfish but I'm glad it has fuck all for multiplayer so it won't kill off das3 multiplayer I put way too much time making builds for that game it'd piss me off if sekiro killed it
Christopher Jones
It’s called having soul
Owen Gray
DS3 is garbage

Landon Thomas
Yeah i missed those copypasted weapons that are in every ds game
Jeremiah Kelly
>goes through several sequels and a spinoff until they decided to make a marginally different "new" game
to be fair From Software just made mecha games until Demon Souls
Andrew Hill
I never finished DS1, though I'll go back to it sometime, but I loved BB and I can't wait for Sekiro. The fact that DS has a rabid fan base has been off-putting but I'll definitely play 1 and 3 eventually. I'm excited for Sekiro so I don't fit into any of your categories.
Oliver Cruz
From is doing this to test if Soulsborne fags can ease into Froms other IPs.
Jesus, it's just not a Souls game. We don't know for sure until we play it, but it'll probably be good. Especially considering From's history with new IP
Jaxon Fisher
As opposed to what? No variety whatsoever in BB, no magic, no PvP, nothing?
Jace Butler
invaders are pretty autistic, on many occasions I go and find a fun spot to hide and had people spend over 30-45 minutes trying to find me.
Then I either kill them or they kill me or I summon to destroy their anus and get rage mail.
Henry Hernandez
This game gives me onimusha vibes, that alone made me pre-order it.
