>they were apparently "forced" into making Bloodborne to keep a contract with Sony so they just make as shitty a product as possible.
LMAO I want to believe this
source?
FromSoftware's absolutely abysmal hitboxes
Soulsborne is the genre-apex of ludonarrative gameplay intersectionality.
Ninja Gaiden is not fucking hard faggot. Upgrade your weapons grind your items and know general boss patterns.
>Tenchu is fucking dead because of Souls success
>Ninja Gaiden got a shitty sendoff with 3 and Yaiba Z
will these days ever get better?
I can't hear you over the sound of you getting filtered
You're an illiterate fucking faggot. Bloodborne is the most complete and well made game these assholes have ever made. Actually, similar to Sekiro or the first Dark Souls.
I know you're shitposting but i'll explain anyways.
People don't like souls because of the meme difficulty; the meme difficulty came after the popularity, if you can remember and be honest with yourself. People like that the Dark Souls franchise offers something not really seen before it; it put together the disparate parts we'd seen in Virtual Hydelide, King's Field, Legacy of Kain, and created a 3rd person, action RPG with heavy character customization, semi 'real' feeling melee swings with heft and bulk, a semi-unique stamina-driven give and take combat where you're managing your health and energy in real-time, and a big old boatload of weapon types, move-sets, all set in a high fantasy, mysterious and dark world.
The 'WOW LE SO DIFFICULT HEE HEE PREPARE TO DIE' shit came way later. Once the game had succeeded on it's own merits and become widely popular, the normie infestation couldn't play the game successfully and thus was the "WOW WHY IST HIS SO HARD? LOL GET GOOD" bullshit born.
Food for thought, because the franchise isn't beloved because of difficulty outside of normie-circles and the overwhelming popularity it has undergone (and suffered in quality for).
>get a pass and even win GOTY awards when far better made games don't get nearly the same amount of praise?
Because Bloodborne, for example, is an amazing game, despite its flaws. The music is out of this world. The atmosphere is gripping. The world and its lore is some of the best lovecraftian piece of art in video games. The combat is fun as fuck. You don't agree, you say? Alright, that's okay. You can sit and hate it all you want, and you can enjoy the games you think are better, all by yourself.
This thread again?
Soulstards don't have any taste.
