Whoo! I L0VE MY SLOP CONTENT WHOO0!!!

We are born of the slop
Made men by the slop
Undone by the slop
Fear the old slop.

I think I had expected better of Fromsoft but I'm gonna guess this is what they're doing instead of another DLC for the game, and there's likely internal or external pressure for more Elden Ring IP because of its breakout success. Referencing autistic Pixar Theory type stuff about how their games are connected both justifies asset flipping and draws in the lorefags.
 
My irritation is that their full products had a ton of recycled content and assets, with this going in even harder on that front. I've become decreasingly fond of SOTE because of this, as despite the cost a ton of was shit we'd already seen.

I dunno. I'm skeptical.

i dont even have a problem with them wanting to make a fortnight style game and reusing character rigs but it should just be its own IP and not straight up copy paste the nameless king and firekeeper into elden ring WTF

Unfortunately the idea no one would buy it if it wasn't an EVERYONE IS HERE!-esque mashup of their previous games probably won them over.
 
It will be an odd duck. The pc gamer video said something of a beta happening at a certain point (unknown if open or closed). I can accept it for what it is (cash grab and non critical work for junior developers) but I definitely need to get a feel for it before putting any cash.

Probably looking forward to being more spry and agile the most. Hell, I'd dare say that going full Sekiro and dropping the stamina bar should be on the table.
 
Pretty interested to see how Nightreign turns out. The price will definitely decide if it's worth getting, I'd say no more than $40.
 
Vaati did a video and the amount of cope is off the chart

He still does his usual overemotional cadence, he tries to pose bog standard featrues as some revolutionary designs: YOU CAN REVIVE TEAM MATES, YOU HAVE PRESET ABILITIES, YOU GAIN ITEMS AND STATS FROM KILLING TRASH MOB.

But the video ends with some massive cope. First of all him trying to argue it will "fix" ER's replayability issue because you never know what you'll get in a run which is straight up retarded. Then arguing the guy in charge is under a lot of stress because FromSoft are doing "something new" (while also arguing they'll use the money to make actually new shit), and finally saying how it totally proves that Elden Ring is the picture world from Dark Souls, which basically just gives up on the lore altogether to make this shitty cashgrab work.
 
I think a standalone experimental roguelite in the Elden Ring universe and style will be fun and that I will enjoy it with my friends for upwards of at least 60 hours, which is more than enough to justify 40 dollars.

I also think most of the people in this thread are joyless and/or friendless faggots that couldn't actually define 'slop' if their life depended on it.

Sounds like same kind of copium , FromTubers were pushing , before Dark Souls Remastered came out. Guys it is not cash grab. We will get some fixes making DS1 playable on PC without need to use mods to fix FromSoft mess. We will get small graphic changes and one new bonfire. It is not 40 bucks for glorified patch. Guuuyyyssss.
Anyway with multiplayer being main selling point for Nightreign I hope From will finally fix multiplayer experience . And will not try to make it work with same ancient system they are still using in base game elden ring.

Probably optimistic. Bigger question if they fix status effects so bleed isn't completely broken while half of the effects are completely ineffective. Though with how random everything is, they might just remove boss resistances and status effects altogether.
 
If you want to do a PVE focused multiplayer co-op game, with preset classes, revives, mowing through fodder with boss enemies interspersed, powering up as you go through a run etc. why not follow the Vermintide formula? It wouldn't be open world meme, but you can use vignettes and callbacks from all Dark Souls games like this.
