5 games with identical settings

>5
I see you only started following from the Souls era.

Dark Souls was literally the perfect game. Another game can only be as good as its imitation of DaS.

Why fix something that's not broken?

Go dilate, Nintentrannies. You faggots have been shitposting Sekiro endlessly because it's not on Switch and now, you're gonna shift to a new target for the same reason. Grow the fuck up.

Yeah, no.

Where's the fifth?

Bloodborne is literally the same setting but with aliens and werewolves thrown in

Sekiro is literally the same thing but with ninjas and katanas thrown in

Elden Ring

Kings Field

Now when I think about it, it's really weird how BB events are localized in Yharnam. Considering how the main antagonists this time are cosmic entities. You'd think the effects of their actions would be worldwide.

It should have been Barlowe's Inferno Souls. Just so they can justify souls as a currency.

Did you play any From Software games before Souls? They always did this King's Field, Shadow Tower, Armor Core

>5 games
From Software's very first game was King's Field, a dark fantasy dungeon crawler title. Love it or hate it, dark fantasy is what From Software does. This is like getting mad at HP Lovecraft for only writing cosmic horror.

When did hating on From become so popular?

Did Tanimura die?Very happy

Yarnham caused it own downfall using the blood. Other places that haven't dealt with the blood wouldn't be affected

it's a dream, and blood is related too

>creatively bankrupt?
Did you learn this phrase in twitter journalism school?

>a dark fantasy dungeon crawler
Is it set in a dying world though?

From is pretty popular right now this is Yea Forums the contrarian nintodler board and nintodler don't get any From games so they get butthurt.

i mean they also do mech games, but that doesnt bring cash in

This. The game is very flawed despite having good world building and lore.

They said it's open world, that isn't anything like Demon/Dark Souls or Bloodborne even. This is basically your stopgap between Dragon's Dogma and Dragon's Dogma 2 if anything.

Giant Robots > medieval shit
FromSoft became thrash after touching medieval shit

So last time they did something different was 20 years ago?

I bet it will have way better lore and mythos than the other shitty games

also, it sounds like they're finally making a real RPG with magic and stuff instead of the same gay sword moves over and over

>from tries to do something different
>soulsfags cry it's not dark medieval fantasy
>from makes what the fans want because they, like most businesses, want to make money
>lolomg from so creatively bankrupt

bankrupt is not something from can ever be with fanboys like these.

They already ruined the world of Dark Souls with a shitload of retcons and fan service.

Did you read the interview? It's not going to be open world like Skyrim or the Witcher. From what I gathered it will just be the next iteration of the Dark Souls formula.

Please explain the lore of Elden Ring to me then, OP

Robots are cool and medieval shit only appeals to faggots

tower knight is so sexy

Yharnam brought it upon themselves. The source of the blood is right under their feet, in the labyrinths. Makes sense that the Scourge only afflicts Yharnam.

Many people were disappointed by Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro.

Dark =/= the same you faggot. Blood, souls, sekiro, and from the looks of it, this new ip, are entirely different.

Because they learned from Resident Evil

Dark Souls becomes increasingly mediocre after you get to Anor London. The endgame dungeons are garbage compared to the early half of the game and the bosses are not very good.

You can make dark fantasy and make it different. They still have content from Demons Souls they could make into separate games like Bloodborne

It's not, almost every PC fag has never played Bloodborne.

DS doesn't need any more sequels. In fact, nothing needs sequels. Every game should be self-contained, so no game requires knowledge of other game, or lore that is not in the game.

Norse mythology that Tolkien stole all "his" ideas from.

Suckiro's problem (or, one of several problems) is that they stuck pretty close to the mythos and architecture of the setting.

European medieval fantasy draws inspiration from a period that's 1000 years long and they take a lot of liberties with it. By comparison Suckiro is set during the sengoku period which lasted a little over 100 years and they mostly populated it with humaniod enemies.

So the Game Freak of dark fantasy ARPGs.

mutt or just a shitskin?

Norse mythology is so overplayed at this point. I never want another norse mythology game again.

grow a pair faggot

Okay.

"The Ring of the Dwarf King"

You were trying to flaunt your "knowledge" about FromSoft past games, and listing it together with the Souls series and Elden Ring, as another game set in a dying world. But it backfired, because it actually isn't, it's just another dark fantasy RPG, nothing more.
inb4 you backpedal claiming you never implied that it is.

It's inspired by the old Call of Cthulhu pen and paper RPG more than the actual Lovecraft stories. Which is the best way to narrate a Lovecraftian story rather than just doing straight fanfic.

worse, he's probably a eurofag.

Yet Tolkien has his own universe that is finished and everybody copies from, even fat fuck Martin and now From Software

Holy stunned cunt, batman.

Sounds like they literally stole the plot from Tolkien. What was your point? I guess I was right and you lost. Game over faggot.

It's represent ancient comic where people sitting in train and everyone of them think "I'm not like others". GRRM was not hated by mass before ADWD release.

Demon's Souls and Bloodborne literally take place in the same universe

They actually want to do Mech games, they clearly like it more I mean they have an entire inhouse band that writes and composes both Armored Core OSTs and original albums based off Armored Core. It's just that it's a niche genre and they have to pay their bills.

It works for the Elder Scrolls, sweetie.

A single kingdom overrun by undead and its populace slain is a concept unimaginably far removed from an entire world literally falling apart because the metaphysical embodiment of its life force has been destroyed.

It's the best setting. You can create any kind of adventure in it because nature and civilization are both abundantly available on it. The only other setting that comes close is a futuristic interstellar one.

Saved.
He's on his knees in the trailer, though

Literally not true

I still think they could do a Dark Fantasy game sell it as a Souls-like where you're killing these horrific inhuman abominations, then the second act twist is it's actually post-apocalyptic Armored Core where the world was accidentally overrun by genetically engineered bio-weapons and since it's been a couple millennia since anyone has been making bullets or missiles the only weapons the mechs have are energy blades and various melee weapons.

You get the onboard with the dark fantasy then you hit them with the mechs.

ASOIAF and Dark Souls are already pretty similar. Similar themes and similar mechanics, especially regarding resurrection and the rise and fall of kingdoms.

How so? Fantasy parts of ASOIAF are related to duty. It's human duty to stand against dark. And this duty is above everything else. But kingdom can't do this because they playing game with thrones. Enlighten me please.

>They made it look bad on purpose
Really now? Americans should be forcibly removed from any and all creative fields.

bump

Just make Armored Core with Souls game play.

I hope the trailer music isn't representative of what we'll get in the game. It's pretty lame.

>comments disabled on official jap trailer
Finally, based From got sick of shitty gaijin (including Souls ecelebs) commenting in English

They always had comments disabled.

Are you just going to keep throwing out vague shit hoping that someone bites, or are you going to actually commit to the bit?

I was actually referring to people on this board. I'm not a redditor who just comes here when theres an event like e3 happening so I know the general opinion the board has on these games. If you look at Souls tier list threads which happen nearly every fucking day DaS3 and Sekiro are regularly at the bottom of these lists. Also I say this as someone who actually thinks that DaS3 and Sekiro are among From's best games so you can fuck off my dude.

I'd honestly want that if it meant we could have mechs again.

Sounds to me like this is just the contrarian bandwagon thread. Y’all have fun I’m here with the pretentious salt shaking.

Just don't act surprised when it all turns out to be Sci-Fi in disguise.

Am i the only one who's really fucking excited for it? Whatever it ends up being, based on their track record, it'll be a 7/10 at absolute worst, but more likely a 9/10
whats not to be hype about? do you people just genuinely hate vidya gaems and the people who make/play them?

Yes. Before Dawn of War came along, everyone and everything was described as being horrifically ugly. It gave a lot to the overall grimdark aesthetic. Also, Imperials would usually self-mutilate themselves and destroy works of beauty since it was seen as sinful and corrupting.

They really wanted Aztecs.

I called that shit in /dsg/ right after the trailer dropped, doesn't mean I have super speshul insider knowledge.

That would've been really fucking cool, too. Not like they can't do it in the future, though. Didn't they say something about working on several other previously unannounced games?

I'm hype. At first I was pissed because the colour scheme looks like more drab DaS3 shit, but it's going to be a huge game, so I doubt it will all look like that.

>use scraps to upgrade your mechs speed, defense, offense, energy, ballistics, etc
>customizable weapons instead of trick weapons, can combine different weapons to different combos
>use garages to upgrade or repair your mech, it gets rebuild in the garage after death
yes please

It's the most thing I'm excited for.

Never claimed I had any insider knowledge, just that I always call these things and later people think I'm a magician or a spy. Stay salty potato crisp.

Who's to say there won't be an Aztec-style kingdom in Elden Ring? That red-haired ogre could fit the bill.

I'm very hyped. Open world Dark Souls sounds great to me, and Sekiro was different enough that I don't mind a return to dark/high fantasy. Though I do hope that the next thing they announce is either a spiritual successor to Bloodborne set in the Aztec Empire, or a sci-fi Armored Souls.

I just don't want it to be the same 9/10 game as always.

Shit already got leaked this morning so I don't know what you two are fighting for. We already know the whole plot.

>Never claimed I had any insider knowledge
>cryptic reference to "the shattered thrushes"
uh-huh

No. Trailer gives me goosebumps. I like narration and epic/full chuu2 settings.

And yet, that is the only reason Yea Forums mantained a semblance of board culture over all the other shitty boards that got forcefully invaded by election tourists, along with sending rec posters to hell.

Yea Forums got assimilated, and now we have daily twitter and eceleb posts.

>Am i the only one who's really fucking excited for it?
Most people are. Yea Forums is just throwing their contrarian tantrums as per usual.

Personally I am disappointed by the trailer though. I don't think it showed us enough of how it is different from Souls besides the designs being more high fantasy inspired now. We seem to be in yet another dying world as well so that didn't help making it seem unique to what they've done before. Honestly the Miyazaki interview where he talked about the game was more hype for me than watching the fucking trailer.

>this game with no set release date that won't see Western markets for at least another year had its entire plot, setting and mechanics leaked this morning
Fuck off, retard.

Dude are you fucking new? Yea Forums historically sees major leaks for announced game every fucking E3. And From gets their shit leaked every single fucking time.

I'm ridiculously hyped and trying to remind myself that the quality of a cinematic trailer doesn't necessarily correlate to the quality of the game
An amazing trailer nonetheless

>And yet, that is the only reason Yea Forums mantained a semblance of board culture over
I have bad news for you, user. Right now Yea Forums is just Yea Forums light. 2019 was overkill. I still check some threads but even in Yea Forums you sometimes can have good discussion.

can i get a quick rundown, senpai?

Hmm, you're right. I distinctly remember the Sekiro debut trailer had comments disabled when it was first released, but looking at it now, it doesn't. I guess they changed it?

>eceleb posts.

Except it's the opposite now faggot. Literally can't post anything eceleb related without getting banned.

fuck off I love you newfags who come in here acting like you've been around longer than 2016. I've been here since beginning and e-celeb shit was always a regular Yea Forums topic even before fucking youtube.

Go back to you know where

no, fuck you, multi-phase bosses are my fetish

Middle Earth is based heavily on Norse mythology and has large aspects of Celtic Mythology in it too, you braindead fuckwit. Gandalf is literally an Odin copy + paste.

Back to /ic/?

Again, the entire story (with "all five endings"), setting and the new mechanics (lmao, "courage") for a game that is still development in Japan was "leaked" about a year and a half before release?
Yeah, okay.

This post is so pseudo-intellectual it hurts.
Human beings have been longing for Religion ever since the first man died and people thought "where did he go?"
Mythology is corollary to religion.

And from there writers get ideas for their stories.
It's absolutely not just a study of their social dynamics, to believe this is to believe men did not believe in religion.

suck my cum you lilly-lipped nigger

but theres no episodes of anything good today and nagatoro doesn't come back til next monday.

Rope yourself, faggot.

God, each time I come here for a game I'm hyped for to get excited with people I'm reminded that 90% of Yea Forums is fart joke and mad people.

>devs who can't finish their games
This is Hidetaka Miyazaki, not Tetsuya Nomura.

Gehrman has three phases. He starts with the Burial Blade in scythe mode, then he separates it and whips out his gun. Then there's the moon buff.

That's all I really remember. Someone took screens I'm sure.

>all this griping
>everyone pretending it won't be a day one buy with a cancerous genersl in /vg/ that lasts for years

Take the Elden pill now.

I don't know why people put so much stock in basic visual theme.

Mesoamerican, Sci-fi, Neo-romantic, Ancient Persian, Japanese mythology ect That's all window dressing, what's important is the gameplay changes and design philosophy under it all. You decide what interesting twist you want to take on the Formula, like Bloodborne's transforming weapons, focus on dodging over shields, reimagined combination of the world tendency and humanity system, then you decide what visual theme best fits that game. And that's when you go "oh, lets do lovecraft and call this mechanic insight". You don't do it the other way around by picking Mesoamerican and then asking what does this bring to the table.

shut up you nigger

*dabs*

You are factually, literally wrong.
Go look at the catalog faggot.

she's gonna be permanently sidelined after this arc, save a few cameos in the future, i can feel it coming. excellent design, though.

That one wasn't me. Pretty sure they were making a joke as well.

>mooooooom he said something about my pretend-friends!!!
neck yourself
And not, lots of people posting shit from twitter or jewtube and not getting banned.

they got dark souls

oh please you spaz, lotr mythos is more heavily inspired by the Finns mythos, than norse

sounds interesting. after sekiro, i wouldn't have even minded going right back to DS style game play. To be frank, I really hope one of the games they have under wraps is DS4. But a 3rd, completely different game is also great - i have faith in their abilities to make fun vidya.
I can only hope we don't have to wait until next e3 for a release date

Pearls before swine.

I'm not saying they aren't the same stories, but I am saying you're retarded. The Elden Ring is literally the First Flame. It commands the stars/stuns and gives life it's full radiance/allows disparity. The Dark Soul doesn't do any of those things. The man who smashed the Ring (Someone or Something) is the Dark Soul analogue. Did you even pay attention to the plot you claim to hate?

Apart from the fuck ton of retcons you mean?

>They already ruined the world of Dark Souls with a shitload of retcons and fan service.

Explain this?

they only got dark souls 1, years later after it came out on other platforms

*stars/SUN, i am also retarded.

That's because there's been a major backlash in the past month and people have been calling out mods.

Don't act like this has been the norm for the past year. Yea Forums was "No Fun Allowed" all throughout 2017-2019.

>>Dark Souls 3 final boss has three phases
Depending on how you count it, it' either 2 phases or 5 (a phase for every form of the "proper" first phase)
How the fuck did you manage to count that as 3

Holy shit double retard, meant to respond to myself here

Fair enough.

>I really hope one of the games they have under wraps is DS4

According to the leak, this is meant to be DS4 but also not. It's going to be left up to the player if they want to interpret it that way or not.

Personally, it's pretty obvious that even if it's left open, it's meant to be DS4 after they put the beginning of Gwyn's theme in the trailer.

Are you sure youre not talking about gamefreak or something?

They wanted to move all of their developers to Fortnite.

Probably counting the first part as a "phase" because he always is in sword mode at the beginning.

>meant to be DS4 but also not. It's going to be left up to the player
Oh, fuck off.
>after they put the beginning of Gwyn's theme in the trailer
oh FUCK OFF, they absolutely did not.
