yes but didnt perform as good as sekino
ds3 got to 3 mill on 2 months
sekiro to 2 mill in 10 days

The game cost 10 million dollars to make so I wouldn't say it flopped

what is this meme that BBfags hate sekiro? I consider both to me masterpieces.

Why would I want to play bb on ps4 at a locked 30.fps even on my pro...

>wanting BB2
FROM should stick with one-offs from now on and avoid sequels, Dks2 and 3 weren't bad but they weren't fantastic either

Sekiro's only strong point is the refined parry combat. Otherwise it's not that good.

If it gets a decent DLC or two we'll see.
FROM DLCs are usually very good.

Exactly.
DaS2 and 3 are not that good and they basically only get a pass since enough people are into multiplayer.

they are going to get mad at every miyazaki game that isn't BB2 from now until the end of time. They are THAT entitled.

>tfw to scared too play Bloodborne because of Lovecraft themes
Despite the other games being full of zombies they feel as unsettling. I'd feel as anxious playing BB as if I played modded dark souls with all enemies replaced by cursing frogs.
Shame because the areas and combat seem fun from what I've seen.

I'd argue the last third of the game is dlc levels good and in a same manner integral to the lore. I'm truly excited for the DLC and just how good it may be.

Most successful From game.

>too scared
Stop being a bitch and play it. I am playing it for the first time right now and atmospherically I can tell you it's a masterpiece. More than terrifying, if you sink into BB, it has this air of depression and grimness. That doesn't take away from how fun it is though. The dark theme it has is very cool.

Also miyazaki referred to it as a franchise so we know we're getting another

Rom is a joke, who told you it was hard.

>Souls is dead.
Good it's shit anyways

Everyone who was complaining when the game first came out. I picked up the game also at the time but dropped it since there were other games that came out at the same time I was more excited for and never picked it back up until now. Im loving the game though and would put it on par with Sekiro in terms of fun, maybe even a bit above because i love the atmosphere and theme more.

still hasnt reached 5mil people with an almost 100mil people user base. That is laughably pathetic when you realize Horizon did 10mil and I bought BB day 1.

Soon I hope. IF there is a Sekiro 2, it will flop, now that most people know was a corny piece of tryhard shit the first one way

Rims easy all you gotta do is never stop moving, run all over the place and do dog when there’s an opening

BB is shit and the only thing worse is Ds3, which took too much inspiration from BB and aped shit from ds1

if you've played one souls game the rest are easy. Sekiro only seems harder because it's not a souls game

>2M in 10 days
It's probably already a huge fucking profit

The people who memes about Rom being bullshit are the people who would focus the adds, get hit by shit because they aren't focusing on Rom and complain about the fight. When you ignore the adds, it's a cakewalk

i seriously dont get why people want a sequel to BB
Miyazaki cant do sequels because his stories dont accomodate it.

If you feel this was legit made by a BBfag and not some retard just trying to stir some shit up I feel bad for you

>M-MUH USER NON ARGUMENT

>Souls is dead.
Good. No more hit and roll for you.

>cost $10 million to make
if true that's impressive, but with full marketing and publisher fees I'm sure it's far more than that.

I dont own a switch I own BB you schizophrenic fuck. It's objectively pathetic that it reached less than 5% of the userbase of the system when it was the only game worth buying besides last of us remaster at the time and exclusive games do triple or 4x as well on the system now.

BBshits are just mad they will never ever get bragging trophy or shitposting shitstorm like BB launch was. They are still seething Sekiro is not exclusive. Face it, your console is too old, by the time something of the caliber of BB comes out it will be a PS5 exclusive.

Your console is dead and all it got was 1 game.

Having beat every Souls game from Demon's to Bloodborne, I got to say Sekiro is pretty damn good and probably the best out of them all with Bloodborne being the obvious second. I just got to the first spear wielder though and what a pain in the ass that is even with the skill.

>finally can shove soulsfags their git gut back into their face whenever they tell me i only hate the games because they're too hard for me
Based Sekiro. I almost feel like I'm 14 again when I was obsessed with Tenchu. I hope every new From game will have such a dynamic combat system.

I'd give Sekiro the win if there were some semblance of replayability.

I don't know about that. Is there no replayability? If that's the case Bloodborne is first but it's close.

you sure are moving these goal posts fast

He doesn't have a consistent story in mind he just writes what sounds cool at the time and forgets it later. It's why sekiro, a game not written by him, has a story that mostly makes sense.

There is because the game is fun and has multiple endings and unique unlockable combat arts from those.

Miyazaki wrote every cutscene in Sekiro, wrote the plot, and one NPC. The actual dialogue on most NPCs was the part that was written by another staff member, but Miyazaki oversaw all of it.

take your medication friend.

Pardon them, Bloodshit is the only thing Son!ggers have on PS4 so they always fly a bit off the handle when From realeses a better game on literally all platforms playable at 60 FPS on PC.

Sekiro has no replayability, after one or two plays every encounter plays exactly the same. It was the only From game that I got burned out of due to sheer boredom in such a short time span. I had to force myself to plat it.
I think they need another weapon or additional skill trees with a DLC or something. Sekiro felt like a one and done game compares to From's Soulsborne games where each play can be vastly different from each other.

I'd much rather replay sekiro with its fun combat than any of the past games. And I don't even mind it's lack of replayability because at the end of the day I prefer a game that gives me a great fucking experience once than one that is mediocre but replayable.
Bloodborne doesn't have replayability either. At the time it came out that criticism was also levied at it funnily enough.

You must not be progressing far enough into the game, because the enemy placements and enemy designs also change with the story, and once you get to NG+ they become stronger and you can also change the gameplay with getting rid of Kuro's Charm.

Yeah and TOH (and Chalices) gave BB much needed replay value. I just wish Sekiro had something similar. Its about on par with launch BB.
I've 100% the game, user.

I've bought and played every single FromSoft game. Sekiro is the first good one since Dark Souls 1. Do bear in mind though, I've never once played any of the DLC for these games.

I plan to do a demon bell, charmless, no upgeade in the same run, but I'm going to wait a month or so. Burned out from the game.

I'd like to remind Bloodbornelets that their game got embarrassed by fucking Splatoon which sold over twice as much on a dead system.

>Flopped hard

I've heard nothing but how good it is. I only hear sjws saying it flopped but their opinions don't count.

Golly gee a game designed for a niche audience within a niche genre was outsold by a game designed for a extremely wide demographic? How suprising

Because sales = indicator of quality? McDonald's must be your favorite restaurant and you must love Ariana Grande

>take your medication friend
I'm not the delusional fanboy here, faggot

Sales may not be an indicator of quality, but Bloodborne has neither sales nor quality.

You do not get more normalfag than Souls shit. You can't even play that card when Splatoon was also a completely new IP with no predecessor, no fanbase to draw from and was itself a niche take on the multiplayer shooter formula. There was never any guarantee it was going to succeed and yet Bloodborne got embarrassed by it despite being a successor to Dark Souls, a completely normalfag series

>Because sales = indicator of quality?
Do I need to remind you that this thread was started by a Bloodbornelet shitposting about Sekiro sales? Retard

The only bad thing about the game is the cringy name. Shadows Die Twice sounds like a dumb Bond movie.
That and the camera. It's usually good but easy to lose focus in fast battles. Fuck the camera.

You're being dishonest when calling Dark Souls niche and you know it.

"I don't like Lovecraft influence because a small portion of the internet does, too"

What a fag.

Lovecraft was a known racist and white supremacist.

And...? Most people back then were

Which makes me enjoy his literature even more. Fuck off

Lovecraft had good ideas and I'm not gonna pretend some of his stories aren't interesting but the good cosmic horror is buried under awful clumsy prose, he's an overrated writer. Besides that, Bloodborne is not even good cosmic horror. Most enemies just amount to looking like bootleg Cthulu which is about the extent of every secondary's knowledge of Lovecraft, on top of every single entity in the game being mortal save for Oedon.

I'm not going to indulge in any medium that is based off someone like that's work.

Sekiro isn't a hard game in the slightlest, in fact in some ways it's even easier than souls. At least in souls you can make a underlevelled build, SL1 with a shitty weapon, and you'll find it an even more challenging game. Try doing a regular NG+, no kuro's charm or demon bell, and come back. It's easier than NG, something that souls or bloodborne doesn't do.

Yes. Even the fags who dropped DS3 an hour in are playing it. I didn't really expect this game to be so popular.

double edged sword because this is also why we're getting people bitching about the lack of an easy mode being disrespectful to players or some fucking nonsense

It helps that the beginning of the game isn’t grey on grey

The stream monsters that dropped DS3 didn't drop it because of the artstyle, I can tell you that.

They did because there's too many stats and weapons and armor to keep track of unless you're an RPG autist.

Painfully obvious bait.

you beat the game 6 times and your complaining about the game not having enough replayabiliy?

Let's take this train of thought to it's logical conclusion. If the ONLY thing that mattered was hard-as-nails gameplay, why play anything else? Because that would mean the literal only game worth playing would be I Wanna Be The Boshy. But that's clearly not the case.

To deride Souls for having RPG elemtns in-lieu of said gameplay is similarly disingenuous. Anyone can enjoy a game for any number of reasons. Souls combat is simpler than Sekiro yes, that doesn't mean it can't be fun or enjoyable. It is legitimate for someone to enjoy Souls for all those reasons listed, of which "gitting gud" has nothing to do with. Deal with it.

Is From not allowed to make games besides Souls? You fags are annoying

Who hates Bloodborne? Peoply hate S*niggers acting like it's the greatest game ever made when it's just another Souls game with a different IP. I enjoyed the parts I played but I'm not going to buy a PS4 just for BB.

It does seem like the lack of multiplayer is a step back for From
It certainly meant that I pirated it day one with no regrets

But the combat is a massive step up, the setting is enjoyable compared to the tired Souls world, and the movement is great too.

It's more of a departure from the Souls formula than BB was, arguably it's a successor to Tenchu rather than Souls.

bbfags are easily worse than DaS1 fags were awhile ago

Those second two aren't bad things to do. It's impossible to properly balance a game like Dark Souls with its multitude of play styles and leveling systems, remove them and you have a more pure and balanced game. I really can't stand when an action game has tweaks to damage variables that can make the game drastically better or worse.

Co-op with randoms online is pretty much just there to help you get through different parts of the games, and the PVP is only good for greifing.

Pretty sure people were complaining about Chalice Rom

>finally get Ashina Cross
>2 spirit emblems

Fucking why?

None of these things are even remotely broken, except maybe Shadowrush, so why do they cost emblems? They're less effective than normal strike combos against bosses most of the time, and most regular enemies either just die anyways or don't take enough damage for it to be viable.

Bloodborne didn't remove the entire fucking roster did it? And each weapon had unique movesets that didn't copypaste each other. Builds also exist too.

Cope. Plenty of online activity, whether that be the DLC and helping people out with the bosses, invading with a BL80, co-oping in FRCs, or participating FCs. It's unironcially more alive than DaS1 and 1 rn.

>Sekiro's only strong point is the thing you spend most of your time doing and the main draw of the game. Otherwise it's not that good.
Its exploration is just as good as the other games. Just because the random shit you find on the ground isnt exciting doesnt mean the plethora of actual useful shit isnt cool.

I thought Chalice Rom was even easier, the room is quite large like the first fight so it's pretty much the same fight and you're much better geared by then.

People did not complain about Rom being a BS fight at all. Really, most of the game's normal bosses were just fine; most people complained about Defiled Amy for instance, who could one shot you from pretty much any point in the fight, or normal/chalice ebrietas because they weren't pressuring properly and getting rocked by her charge. Going from Sekiro to BB is going to feel great anyway because aggression is how they're both supposed to be played.

the level design hasn't been this good since souls 1.
