Miyazakai and From killed fantasy

I remember a time where fantasy was bright, happy, and positive. It was simple. Humans elves and dwarves were good, orcs were bad or sometimes bad and sometimes good. You go to raid some evil lord's castle and save the beautiful princess and the kingdom, and ride off together on a unicorn. It was happy times, good times.

Then this guy came along and shit all over that. Demon Souls and later Dark Souls started a trend which would plague fantasy games for years to come. So many developers got a hardon for this fucking shit aesthetic, and now we're stuck with it. Endless developers trying to make "Souls like" games. Salt and Sanctuary, Darkest Dungeon, Hollow Knight, Slain, the endless fanmade projects that crash and burn. They're all this same twisted fucked up "dark fantasy" and I fucking hate it. Everything is evil and bad. The heroes are dark and twisted and use evil powers and weapons. The townspeople are all evil or dying or depressed. If there is a princess, she's either dead, getting gangbanged by the evil lord's council, or actually IS the evil lord. Blood and gore everywhere, streets and buildings wet with rain. Dark gloomy skies, creepy blood red sunsets, eclipses. It's too goddamn much. I'm so sick of this shit. Miyazaki has literally KILLED fantasy now. I hope he makes sequels to Sekiro, that way he can be contained in feudal japan where he can do far less damage. Go fuck that shit up and leave fantasy alone with your fucking sickdark shit.

>simpleminded idiot that loves his grimdark fantasy shit

fuck off.

don't forget the gameplay OP, he ruined that too. now all these games copy the same slow, shitty, clunky combat style based around rolling nonstop and "muh parries"

>I remember a time where fantasy was bright, happy, and positive. It was simple. Humans elves and dwarves were good, orcs were bad or sometimes bad and sometimes good
They still make plenty of games like that you fucking autist

dark fantasy shit was already everywhere before ds, it's only that this game actually put some balls into the concept instead of half-assing it like the rest

>waaaaah things need to be colorful and cute! where are my anime waifus!

end it

copy + paste threads should be banned

>3 posters, including fpbp and my last post
Stop replying to yourself OP, you're embarassing yourself

They need to make more, because it isn't enough to turn the tide back. Too much sickdark shit now.

Dark fantasy was relegated to warhammer where that shit belongs. Miyazaki made it mainstream now. And making some ultimate edgelord game isn't having balls, it's called being some edgy manchild with bad taste.

A lot of effort formulating such a weak opinion. Probably bait. Plain retardation at best.

Dragon Quest is still going strong though

Hard to be that wrong, OP. Still impressed you did it.

If a fantasy world isn't inspiring enough for you to want to live there, that means its shit and failed. Look at world of warcraft, you feel inspired to want to live there, you could see yourself training to become a strong warrior for the alliance and fighting for your king and your people for a better future. Wtf would you fight for or enjoy in a souls universe? dying to some random ass skeleton on a dark road?

Good.

On the contrary, thanks to WoW and LoL, colorful fantasy with pixar looking dudes is dominating the market, with countless mmos, diablo clones, strategy hybrids and trillions of gacha treadmills.

Maybe educate yourself about the shit you are talking about before making such a post, but wait all you wanted is to tell people, grimdark=bad, like the insufferable faggot you are.

I think I'm done with his games. BB, DaS3, and Sekiro have all been about just making the game harder via reaction time. He honestly doesn't seem to have anything else worthwhile to add to the genre.

DaS3 is easier tho

Actually your example betrays your point. LoL started out that way, then later on the reworks, new champions, and skins lean more heavily to edgy grimdark shit. Kayne/Rhaast being a prime example. Rework Swain, Rework Aatrox, Rework Evelynn(literally is a slutty cenobite elf bitch now), the God King Darius and Warhammer 40k Darius skin, Jhin, etc.

Next you're going to tell me that Romanticism is bad too.

nothing wrong with a happy ending. Old fantasy you'd ride off on a unicorn with the princess into the forest. Nowadays the ending is the princess turns into a demon queen and the unicorn is actually a black unicorn and her bf, and she cucks you then rides on his back as he grows wings and flies away, then you kill yourself as sad music plays and the credits roll.

You had me going OP, now I know it's just bait.
Oh well let's pack up, nothing to see here.

You're right, you have convinced me. Recommend me some high profile fantasy games from the recent decade to play then, they have to be clearly about good guys (us) vs bad guys (them), no moral ambiguity, evil churches, corrupt heroes or any other sickdark shit allowed! Can't wait to save the princess and ride off into the sunset!

Thanks friend, I'll check it out. I sure hope nothing depressing happens there!

Elves and the Fae in general have often been characterized as otherworldly creatures that don't operate on human morality and thus are often either mischievous cunts or just plain old cunts long before Tolkien's elves were a thing.

And this is the first time I've ever seen that forced meme applied in a context where it makes sense to use it

I dont like pre tolkien depictions of elves and fae, they tend to range from mischief makers9which is fine) to downright evil and twisted. Dark Eldar in warhammer 40k pretty much are just futuristic dark fae.

I always cared about fantasy, then dark souls made it mainstream, I noticed Souls fans are always dumb fucking jocks and dudebros. Every fucking time you can tell, they post a pic or do a vid, almost always some dumbass jock bro guy. "Yo bro, playing dark souls here, its so dark and sooooooooooooo hard!"

What do you have against gothic architecture, you cunt?

agnus wasn't black...

Its played out and overly edgy and overused in dark settings.

THis board is most retarded thing on internet

No one is preventing you from getting a colorful high fantasy fix. Go play Trine or Fable.

Maybe fromsoftware could do a really good Berserk game but I still want that Tenchu game and Sekiro has merely just solidified that need for a Tenchu game.

>sickdark
I'm going to guess you're the faggot from that got btfo.
Not to mention the fact that you got btfo 2.5y ago with the same garbage critiques:

BASED FUCKING MIYAZAKI

I love Tolkien but I absolutely despise when hacks copy him.

So fucking tired of it. Miyazaki's interpretation of western fantasy feels fresh not because the concepts are entirely new (they're not) but because they're executed in an interesting but serious way and they leave some room for player interpretation/imagination.

Froms need to distract a bit from all these medieval stuff. What I do really want from them is a Blame! game.

If anything From games actually follow the romantic depiction of honourable knights protecting fair maidens and slaying terrible beasts to save the world. Which is why it was so refreshing in a post GOT era.

Considering the sheer size of the megastructure, I'd rather have a Blame! inspired setting to explore.

I mean there's plenty of dishonorable characters in From games who pretend to be good guys but are actually severely fucked up. It's far from a "romantic depiction" most of the time.

WTF I hate Miyazaki directed games nao!
You're an idiot. I'm pondering about the olympic level mental gymnastics that brought you from sucking at Sekiro to making this post.

I guess there’s fucked up shit going underneath but its all so tastefully done that it doesn’t scream GRIMDARK like so many stories fall trap to. If I recall correctly, Miyazaki said in an interview that he’d always try to be tasteful in situations which are either too gory or messed up.

That's Metal Fantasy while From makes Depression Fantasy

Maybe browser and phone games are more your speed.

Dark fantasy is so much better than regular fantasy. Truly a Chad vs. Virgin scenario if ever there was one.

Are we gonna ignore how the dark souls 1 dlc is literally about saving a princess from an evil wizard?

>wizard
You mean the big darkie? The swole motherfucker who leaps 40ft in the air and dunks on you? That guy? A wizard?

He uses a big catalyst

for you

Stick with ffxv white boi, leave sekiro to the chads.

I mean he has a staff and casts spells

Don't worry friend, Monolith Software and that new persona team fantasy game will bring back fantasy kino

he's a muscle wizard, even his spells are just physical damage which also scale with strength

I feel less guilty slaughtering monsters when they are zombified. Miyazaki (or whoever was actually behind this) knew their shit. Playing Monster Hunter makes me think "dang, does this Jagra really deserve to die? Or even this Rathian?" Story wise, the dark aspect is almost necessary.

>Black guy.
>Plays an Asian game.
>Asian games most of the time purposely avoid putting black people in.
>Black guys still buy Dragon Ball by the truck load.
The Asian master race are mentally enslaving the population of Detroit we better call Robocop.

Based Miya, dabbing on shitty, overrated Tolkien fantasy.

BING BING WAHOO

Lord of the ring was always dark fantasy to be honest.

Just play Dragon Quest

Eat shit, nintentoddler

>WoWfag is an autistic retard

lmao

>Then this guy came along and shit all over that
please, miyazaki had no hand in it. he's just continuing what FROM has been doing since the company was founded.

at least dark souls 1 has some hope in it. you haven't seen a game utterly devoid of hope until you've played king's field 3.

Last time i cheeked you have plenty of happy fantasy games.
You just pretend they dont exist.
Hell even CRPGs like divinity or Pilars of eternity are not any more bright or dark then the original IE games.

fpbp

eh, DaS wasn't that cheerful either considering any hope it gave you it was sure to piss on by the time you hit the kiln

even in lotr there were bad, dark people siding with sauron.

...

How the hell did he do it bros? Every generation there seems to be a new influential developer on the block. You've had your Miyamoto's, your John Romero's, your Kojima's, and now you've got Miyazaki. What is odd though is he came at a time when gaming has been corrupted by casualizaiton and big money that has never been seen before. Yet here came this fucker bucking the trend with games that aren't as advanced as the AAA studios with tons of mechanical flaws such as Blightown's garbage framerate and shockwaves yet he's influenced so much. His games are now arguably the biggest influencer's in the past 5+ years not counting shit like battle royale of course which is multiplayer casual crap not even real games.

How did he do it? Is it just safe to say the man was gifted? It amazes me so much. I don't think no iconic dev of the past had to ever put up with such a shit industry like Miyazaki has to with the modern gaming industry and its bullshit.

Or as I like to call them, niggers.

Satan gifted him with a sickdark mind to infect the population with it

you had some relatively cheerful characters like onionbro, the boss armor vendor guy, and others, and the world was beautiful even in its decaying state.
at least the game pretends that the characters will not have bad ends, and that the end of the world is somewhat far off.

KF3 is depressing from the moment you start to the very end, and is littered with little stories that continue to reinforce that this world has no future, like a little girl trapped in a town filled with ghosts, who has been waiting for her sister to return from going to find help for days, since their parents were killed.

Imagine thinking uninspired, generic DnD tier Tolkienien fantasy is better than Souls' take on western fantasy.

He had passion and a strong will. He dropped a high figure salary just to get into game development, in Japan of all places.

Oh so you're just an autistic WoWfag. Okay, it all makes sense now.

isn't dark fantasy its own subgenre?
its not his fault that this shit is more popular than regular fantasy right now.

Miya and Miura, dream team Souls game when?

jesus christ what a dumb fucking thread

Fucking good song. Sounds like the kind of shit you'd hear on a deldar game.

Everyone looks like a fucking supermodel in WoW, but you die to stupid shit in mere seconds.

Imagine getting killed by a fucking outdated pop culture reference.

>From invented dark fantasy

Seeing trine after the third game gives me depression. Way more depression than any from game.

>Imagine getting killed by a fucking outdated pop culture reference
I... don't get the reference.

sounds based and redpilled to me

I think he's referring to how chock-full of outdated pop-culture references Warcraft's world is.

But, which one kills you? Also references don't bother me, I actually get kinda nostalgic, but fuck m8 if politics irl is retarded, politics in wow is something on a whole new level

>You delve too deep staring into the abyss, and it will stare right back into you.
Are all WoWfags 70IQ niggers?

tell me what looks grimdark edgelord about , talk about fucking donte if you want edgelords

why? are 3 and 4 bad?

Is there enough a question

Trine 3 is the equivalent of cancer incarnate, imagine a game as half assed as anthem, and in a series known for being 3D sidescrolling, it's actually a 3D platformer. It went against every design decision that made the soul of the series. It trivialized puzzles to an insane degree. THIS is how bad the third game was.

They play wow, of course they are

Please end yourself
