In the videogame industry there are many studios who simply rinse and repeat one title over and over again with minor differences and turn profit
All of these companies are, rightfully, chastised for this. Whether it be through online noise or directly through sales. All, except these guys.
All of their games are interchangeable from each other. >dark world >"spooky" bosses with "epic" names, i.e: Jim the conquerer or Sam the slain, just generic "epic" sounding names >an abundance of "epic" orchestra music, the kind that kids who think they're fancy for listening to listen to >the overused, "Le game hard = Le game good" meme, an abundance of artificial difficulty
The above mentioned elements cover ALL of their games. Yet when someone points this out they're met with a barrage of insults and fanboyism.
Why are these guys allowed to be lazy and unoriginal with their games? Why are they given a pass from the gaming community?
because they have the most fun lazy and unoriginal games
Isaac Nelson
because there fun to play
Wyatt Richardson
Fun is subjective
Are you saying other studios are allowed to be as lazy as they are because someone finds it fun?
Lucas Long
the studios that are chastised usually have yearly releases. we get a new from software game like every 2.5 years.
Levi Green
So one extra year and half is all it takes for you to forgive lazy design?
Xavier Edwards
they're video games

'someone' is simplifying it down, most people like these games and most people have fun with it, saying that it is lazy and unoriginal is nothing new. Probably half the shit in dark souls 1 is ripped off something else entirely but most people aren't immensely analytical like you so they don't get on rants about it either. Their formula is lazy and mostly unoriginal but still gets majority approval, there is no excuse to what they do aside from the fact it works extremely well for them.

>minor differences Except for the most important thing: content. Each game has its own unique world, enemies, and bosses. The gameplay is at its best when you're going through new content.
