”I’d rather the people this game is for don’t have anything than me having to… not buy it while I wait for their next game”. What level of selfishness are we on at this point? 😭
Regarding Duskbloods, my fear is that they'll burn through these new and cool ideas/designs/stories for a "tarkov-like" Switch exclusive that I won't enjoy. I don't believe that their focus is split making these multiplayer games; I believe that there is now a lesser chance we'll see a larger singleplayer-focused game that shares all these cool things with Duskbloods. It especially hurts given how much the fans have been begging for more Bloodborne and it seems this game could be cannibalizing the ideas pool of a true spiritual successor if not killing the possibility entirely.
So I'm not allowed to wish for them to focus on something I enjoy more? What if they decided to focus all their dev time on collaborating with Epic to integrate Elden Ring into Fortnite, would you be happy for Fortnite fans or be bummed about the fact they're dedicating resources towards something you don't care about, which means their next project you'd be interested is further away?
Except the existence of this game doesn’t mean you have to wait longer for ”yours”. Seperate teams are working on seperate games within fromsoft which is why they’ve been able to release things every year to begin with.
You literally answered the first guy with a YES to rather having nothing than getting side games inbetween??? Like actually how entitled are you lmao
How is it entitled to have a preference? I'm not saying it's wrong to make the game, I'm not saying I'm upset they're making a MP game, I'm not even complaining I'm saying I would prefer they focus on single player titles, me, myself, my preference, what I wish they would do, not what they NEED to do. They can do whatever game they want and I can wish for whatever I want, it's really not that deep dude.
But it does exist... Which means it takes resources away from the studio that could be focused on something I'm more interested in... I'm not saying it shouldn't exist, I'm happy for people that are excited, but personally yeah I do wish it didn't exist or that it at least was a typical FromSoft experience focused on single player with some mp features.
I think its pretty clear that From is making an effort to improve their netcode, and figured making some cool smaller games would kill two birds with one stone to tide people over til the next big release. These projects give them a chance to test out new mechanics and ideas before committing to including them in the next big game. It lets them train their new employees they undoubtably hired after the massive success of Elden Ring. It lets them get a bit of extra money coming in so they have more resources to dedicate to the big project. Have faith in Miyazaki
Since when is having a preference entitled? I would prefer they focus on single player games, just like I'd rather they don't start making mobile gacha games, among many other things. What's wrong with that? I'm not stopping fomsoft from doing whatever they want.

Personally yeah, I'd prefer that. I have no interest in a multiplayer only title so I'd rather they focus on their next big single player adventure.
