Strange decision :S as long as the game is good i dont really care

Slayer OP4680d ago

Very disappointed here. I wanted them to add DLC for higher level players. Once I dominated DS1 afer 3 playthroughs, the game became childs play. I hope they at least have better level scaling this time...

@Slayer OP
In Demon Souls, if you keep cycling the game, it becomes harder and harder. Though you might be high level, the enemies scale with you. I grinded so hard on my first playthrough that my second one was a breeze. But on the fourth playthrough, it became really hard again.

On topic, I think thats a good decision. It just means they did everything they wanted to do with the game. If DLC comes, it will be fan service and not milking. I think its a great decision.

Daver4680d ago

From Software have no time to loose for this, They have Demons souls 2 to make! :)

NovusTerminus4680d ago (Edited 4680d ago )

That's okay. Most companies are just selling $10 unlock codes because the DLC is on the disk.

So I prefer no DLC as opposed to getting ripped off.

Simon_Brezhnev4680d ago

I know right im getting sick of DLC this generation. Last gen on pc it was called free updates.

FriedGoat4680d ago (Edited 4680d ago )

so true *wipes tear from eye*
and bubbles.

skyward4680d ago

DLC or no DLC? Fine. Talking about DLC - for any game - 3 months before the actual game is out? Out of order. 'Day 1 DLC' is the worst trend in games right now.

SuperLupe4680d ago

Yeah Ive always found thhe concept of "day 1 dlc" outrageous.

DaReapa4680d ago

"Day 1 DLC' is the worst trend in games right now."
I find DLC, period, to be among the worst trends in gaming right now.

Skate-AK4680d ago

Thats kinda weak this game could benefit from DLC if done right. Maybe that means the team will have their hands full working on Dark Souls 2 or the successor after launch.

LoaMcLoa4680d ago

I find this positive. Now we get the whole package!

Hidetaka Miyazaki Wants To Work On His Debut Franchise After Elden Ring DLC

Hidetaka Miyazaki appeared in an interview to discuss the future of the Elden Ring DLC and FromSoftware's future plans.

Cacabunga18d ago

I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model

Cacabunga18d ago

U probably right about the remake it is maybe too early. A performance mode would be more welcome at this point

fsfsxii18d ago

can we get new ideas instead of remakes? gamers are the most nostalgia driven on this earth istg

Redgrave18d ago

The problem with new ideas is that they are often riddled with modern gaming problems like battle/season passes, MTX, DEI and/or agenda pushing narratives rather than making something fun.

We look to nostalgia because the magic was still alive and well, where as now it's often limited to indies.

Redgrave17d ago

Disagree-ers - care to elaborate?

Chard18d ago

Look at how Bluepoint changed the art for demons souls. I wouldn’t want them doing that for Bloodborne

anast18d ago

Compare their releases. How many are GaaS and how many are not. Put the number here for people to see.

gold_drake18d ago

what gaas are we talking? did i miss something?

I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.

I hope he does a new IP instead

FinalFantasyFanatic18d ago

I love the Armored Core series, I hope it becomes a regular thing again, like it was back in the PS2 days, we've been starved of AC games for a long time. Although I prefer the gameplay in the PS2 games personally. AC6 was really fun though.

Sonic188118d ago (Edited 18d ago )

The last game was a difficult challenge. I had trouble beating that last boss

shinoff218318d ago

I'm hoping for a Sci fi game. I guess armored core would be Sci fi but I'm not talking about that. I'd like a new Sci fi game

Nacho_Z18d ago

Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.

gold_drake18d ago

oofff kings field. i played that not too long ago ha.

shinoff218318d ago

One ofbthe first ps games I beat back in the day. Was fun.

anast18d ago

Good news. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H948d ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

VincentVanBro46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
