Would anyone give a shit about this game if the PS4 actually had a diverse lineup of quality exclusives like the PS1 &...

A lot of people consider it the pinnacle of the Souls series, which, if you didn’t know, is kind of a big deal. So yes.

Yes, it's the best game this generation.

>which, if you didn’t know, is kind of a big deal.
This is one of the most reddit things I've ever read.

Yea Forums is the place online or in real life that obsesses over this game. It took years of bargain bin prices, 80+million install base, and PS+ deals for this game to crack 3 million copies sold.

Games like Bloodborne are still comparatively pretty niche

Souls is niche as fuck you dumbass

You cannot seriously think this.

People who talk about video games on the internet are an extreme minority, and the only people who care.

Friendly reminder that Miyazaki is working on Bloodborne II.

>Souls is niche as fuck
are you retarded?

I don't know if is say "niche as fuck" v but he's right that people who like soulslike games are an extreme minority of people who play video games

I played it on PC through PSNow and it's great.

>/threading your own post

The entire souls series including bloodborne and sekiro (12 From Software games) has sold less than 20 million copies world wide

He was right though

You know, I love the Souls games, and I love Miyazaki, but if you honestly believe what you're saying, you're absolutely fucking retarded.
Look at the sales.

some people would probably like it, but it would be rightly regarded as the weird and low quality souls spin off that it is by an even larger majority of the 2 million (LOL) people that bought it.

its a decent game ruined by shit hardware and shit gameplay choices by the devs especially in respect to its inseparable comparison to the superior real souls games

You people seriously cannot be this fucking dumb. The Souls trilogy, alone, has sold 25 million copies.

>there are now 12 FROM Souls games
huh

>Look at the sales.
That's how I came to the conclusion

>The gameplay is shi-

This includes rereleases

Dark Souls 3 sold 3 million copies in 3 months and Sekiro sold 2 million in 10 days.
That is not niche.

A lot of popular games hit 25 million in one release

You do not know what niche is. Normies love Souls games. Sekiro outsold The Division 2 on its first week and The Divison 2 released the prior week.

And the games have relatively low talent retainment

Only about 25 games have ever sold more than 25 million copies according to Wikipedia.

>A lot of popular games hit 25 million in one release
There are only 22 games ever that have sold more than 25 million copies.

to add to this, most were bundled with a console

>Normies love Souls games
No we don't

My parents don't even know what Tetris & Final Fantasy VII are, what makes you think they've heard about Dark Souls?

>NG+ run after DLC using a meme weapon and styling on the first boss with post processing FPS smoothing to make the game look good

pathetic. 6/10 game hyped out of all reasonable proportions by broke ass PS4 owners

>two games out of 12 managed a good reception, and it took 50+ million install base and a fuck ton of marketing to pull it off

-tier than proper action games, still works fine for what the game wants to achieve and i enjoyed it very much, but still leagues below devil may cry or ninja gaiden which focus on depth and execution while souls combat is all about stamina management and timing.

Where are you getting 12 games from?

I hate consoles and I mostly just emulate games from them when I can on pc. But Bloodborne is fuckin amazing. I made Souls games already had the perfect gameplay loop and here it's got more polish and for once a unique setting.

>while souls combat is all about stamina management and timing.
No it isn't.
It's about abusing the game's mechanics.
