Hey readers!
I'm excited about the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign news, especially since we might finally get a release date. It's been a long time coming, but to be honest, I'm not as hyped as some others are. It feels like a cash grab, reusing elements from the original game to create something "new".
But I suppose that's just how the industry works now. Games barely make enough money to break even, so I can understand why they would take this route. And let's be real, FromSoftware is the master of creating unique and interesting games, so I have faith that they'll deliver something special.
However, I can't help but want them to announce something completely new. Don't get me wrong, I'm just as eager for a Bloodborne remaster as the next person, but I'm more excited to see what they come up with for their first next-gen-only game. How will they evolve their formula even further?
Speaking of disappointment, I'm surprised that Civilization 7 has been getting negative reviews. It was always a solid franchise, with each new game being just as good as the last. So why the sudden decline? Well, it seems like Take-Two's interference is to blame. Pushing for DLC and dumbing down the game for console releases that hardly anyone will buy. It's a shame, really. I was looking forward to playing it, but now I'll probably wait for a discounted complete collection.
And let's not forget about the recent news about PlatinumGames. It's disheartening to see such a beloved developer reduced to a "shell" of a company. I hope that they have some up-and-coming stars who will rise to the challenge, but it's definitely concerning. And don't even get me started on the whole "tea lady" working on their projects.
On a lighter note, I'm actually hoping that Nintendo ditches the original Switch sooner rather than later. I know cross-gen games are inevitable, but they've been a plague this generation. Let's allow the Switch 2 to reach its full potential and not give into the temptation of creating mostly cross-gen games.
Lastly, I want to touch on the recent Battlefield controversies. It seems like the series has been struggling due to trying to please the fans. But sometimes, listening to the loudest voices doesn't result in the best decisions. I'm still willing to give it a chance if it receives positive reviews, though.
Oh, and one more thing about Bloodborne. Do we really know who's to blame for the lack of a sequel? Perhaps it's not Sony's reluctance, but FromSoftware's own choice. After all, they don't seem to have an issue with creating similar games. It's all a bit confusing, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Hey there fellow gamers! Have you heard the news? Looks like we're going to finally get some updates on Elden Ring Nightreign next week, including a release date. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us! But I have to admit, I'm not as excited as some of you might be. To me, it seems like they're just rehashing old ideas and trying to make it seem new. But I guess in today's gaming world, where profits are everything, it makes sense. And let's be real, who better to tackle a roguelike Dark Souls style game than the masterminds at FromSoftware?
But I have to confess, I'm more eager to hear about their next big project. Don't get me wrong, I love Bloodborne just as much as the next person, but I can't help but wonder what they'll come up with next. It feels like ages since the original Elden Ring and I'm dying to see what they have in store for us with their first next-gen only game. Who knows, maybe they'll even surprise us and take the formula to a whole new level.
Speaking of surprises, I was shocked to hear that Civilization 7 has been receiving negative reviews. I mean, it's always been a reliable franchise, right? But it seems like the culprit behind the disappointment is none other than Take-Two, pushing for unnecessary DLCs and dumbing down the game for console releases. It's a shame, really. It's turned me off from buying the game, at least for now. Maybe in a few years when the complete collection is on sale.
And let's not forget about PlatinumGames. They used to be one of my favorite developers, but now it's just a shell of its former self. It's sad to see so many talented people leave the company. But I have hope that their up-and-coming stars will step up and prove their worth. And with multiple projects in the works, I'm sure they'll rise to the challenge.
On a different note, I know we're all excited about the new Switch 2, but can we take a moment to appreciate the original Switch? Personally, I wouldn't mind if Nintendo stops supporting it sooner rather than later. I'm tired of these cross-gen games holding back the true potential of next-gen consoles. Let's give the Switch 2 a chance to shine, shall we?
Lastly, I have to address the recent decision by Sony to remove the Bloodborne patch. I know some of you are disappointed, but I see it as a good thing. It means the new PlayStation 5 version will have it included, so why not wait for the full experience? Who knows, maybe FromSoftware had a hand in this decision. Either way, let's trust in their vision and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Well, that's all from me for now. Don't forget to email your thoughts and join in on the discussions. Happy gaming, everyone!
