Why did it flop?
Don't care dude, I am enjoying it.
It's a remake nobody wants. No new content, no gameplay improvements... it's a $70 tech demo.
It's a decade old PS3 game
flopped on the ps3 flopped on the ps5 shocker
It already outsold the original.
Japan hates violent games and only buys wahoo (this is why they're irrelevant)
because japan is a xenophobic racist country that won’t buy products that aren’t japanese. japane needs to open up and be inclusive to others.
Not inclusive enough obviously
>t. Sony manager explaning the fuckup to the higher ups
>Japanese game made by westerners
gee I wonder why they hate it
nice headcanon
Every retard who say "oh it's because nobody wants it" is a faggot and the actual answer is it's priced $70 or even higher in other countries.
>Outselling the original
>Original sold 3 million in it's lifetime
Zig Forums has too many retards
I'm enjoying it right now, it's pretty good. I don't judge games on how well they've sold.
It is literally an outsourced reskin. The worst kind of remake you could possibly make. Zero involvement from the original developers and zero major gameplay changes.
>zero major gameplay changes
that's a good thing though
Do you want them to turn it into Dark Souls 3?
Not enough faggots and black cocks
Really didn’t know what they were thinking releasing this as the only exclusive launch title, From games are popular, yes, but they absolutely are not system sellers, Bloodborne only sold 2 million and it costs $10 these days, did anyone think this was going to sell well?
But it's true.
Souls games are overrated, boring, and ugly. Same with Sekiro.
Only Bloodborne has decent visuals, but it runs like garbage.
While Souls games are more mainstream and widely accepted than they were in 2009. As a whole, this is still the type of game that will never appeal to casuals. Even Bloodborne didn't sell all that well when you consider how many people owned a PS4. The average person that wanted a PS5 was never going to buy this game when they had Spiderman BLM edition and cowadoody as an option.
>Original sold 3 million in it's lifetime
Where's your source for that?
All I can find is an article saying it sold over 1 million as of 2011.
gigazine.net
amazon.com
>Not even in the top 100 on Amazon US
What the fuck
What the fuck, people were hoping they didn't change anything. If they balanced it and changed it, it would literally be DS3. All it needed was QoL changes and graphical updates and bam it's fine.
?
BB has sold like 8m copies bro, and like 13m have played it.
Nobody cares about your faggy shit games
>BB has sold like 8m copies bro
Damn this is some delusion
Because it was made by fat stupid gaijins. Americans are only good at making microtransactions and loot box filled trash. And american population is dumb enough to eat that trash while the rest of the world laughs.
>Gamespot
LMAOOOOOOOO
How would it hit the charts when Sony only made 6 consoles per continent?
>release same game a decade later just with lazy chink/poo offshored modeling and dreadful sound design
>no rebuttal
ok
I'm not paying $70 for the same shit again. If they change things maybe it will be good or it will be bad, but it will be at least worth something.
>while the rest of the world laughs.
Seeth, europoor. EU and sandniggers pay a lot of MTX for their stupid Soccer games, you're not any better. Fucking faggot.
Sony are probably hoping for sales on par with DS3 (over 10 million as of 2020) or Sekiro (over 5 million as of 2020)
Scalpers have all the consoles and they dont buy games
Playstation games have a high, high digital attach rate. It may have sold 50k physical but it probably sold an extra 750k digitally.
>Japan hates violent games
Are you retarded, Japan loves ridiculous over the top gore. Its an actual genre over there, compared to the west where its considered a joke of a sub-genre like saw or final destination
>10h rethread of a seminal but flawed game
gee i wonder
Digital attach rate will probably be higher with a digital-only console, too.
Its a fucking PS3 game.
It's a souls game exclusive on a PlayStation console. Bloodborne wasn't much of a console seller either
casuals don't want it and fans of the original don't want it, just people who want a pretty thing to play on their ps5
>Playstation games have a high, high digital attach rate.
quite the contrary, they have the lowest attach rate of all consoles
Some games sell like shit because of poor user reception, this is not one of them, look at the user metascore it has one of the highest ratings out of all souls games
This reason seems more accurate
>go on /r/ps5/
>everyone is gushing about Miles Morales and Astro's Playroom
>not a single Demon's Souls thread
whoever greenlit this remake is going to be reprimanded
bloodborne sold over 3 million copies
more than any souls game on any other platform
>niche hardcore game does not sell well
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
in 3 years on a console base of 80+ million
it's not like it had a high budget
99% of the code is from the original game
just hire a few pajeets to make some new models
Watching Demon's Soulless Demake fail truly brings joy to my heart and makes me eyes tear up, I am happy that the true fans of Hidetaka Miyazaki, From Software and Soulsborne games avoided it and put bluefaggots in their place. We will be rewarded for our loyalty and Principles by Elden Ring.
God Bless Hidetaka Miyazaki the Great, may his reign be everlasting.
Death to bluefaggots.
It only sold 2 million
game was probably dirty cheap to make
as long as the mouthbreathers can beat their chest with it it's all good
vs pc with 6 billion user base in 50 years
It flopped because it wasn't released PC.
Its not soccer, its football cleatus.Real football. And get your filthy paws off my football game cleatus.
I love how people are trying to call elden ring a masterpiece when they haven't even shown any gameplay, world, characters, or story, just a canned trailer that tells nothing
People are tired of remakes and the asking price is too much
fucking hell, you're making Miyazaki out to be some masterful game designer when in reality all he did was get lucky with one game and has been failing to recreate DeS over the span of 12 years. The worst decisions in these games have come from Miyazaki. Bed of chaos, not being able to get invaded after beating a boss, 30fps locks, shitty PC ports, nerfing poise, no fun allowed all from him.
Go pay for your nigger players, faggot. When was the last great Soccer player that wasn't a nigger?
>outsold the original
how much did each sold? because I'm sure the original suprassed 1M sales but this one probably hasn't.
what this have to do wi-
you know what kill yourself waste of oxygen
Bloodborne is the game of the decade and it only managed like 2.5 million copies lifetime, despite being the only good ps4 game at the time. Souls games repel casuals, no matter how much its detractors on Zig Forums try to make it out as call of duty tier
Original at most sold 1.5 million.
>user metascore
LOL
COPE

Hidetaka Miyazaki the Great, may his reign be everlasting, is the savior of the gaming industry. From Software is the best.
didn't bloodborne sell like 2 million copies? I just don't think souls games are as popular as people think.
>Why did it flop?
No one has a PS5 here besides FPBP. Other than that it's way too different for NuSouls audience that's filled with ADHD zoomers. I am sure a PC release will help it tho.
you're really overhyping him. He's good but he's not a genius. He fucks up a lot more than he should but it's ok for some reason.
DS3 alone sold over 10 million copies, let's not pretend this series is some sort of niche hardcore rite of passage.
There is no nigger in any of my hungarian national team. Go kiss some nigger feet while Tyrone makes out with your wife.
Dark Souls 3 sold 15 million copies and PewDiePie is steaming the DeS remake right now
DS3 and maybe Sekiro are the only truly mainstream FromSoft games.
User metascore just shows that the game is generally appreciated. Go check some games that flopped because they were shit, like evolve or warcraft 3 reforged, see how great their metascore is.
also cope :)
DS3 is also available on PC and XBOX
So what?
so no one likes bloodborne?
>when in reality all he did was get lucky with one game and has been failing to recreate DeS over the span of 12 years
LMAO. At least he is a better businessman than he is a game director so at least new Fromsoft games won't be locked behind shitty hardwares.
More than 70% of Souls audience is on PC. Not on PS or Xbox.
Dark Souls 2 got a 89 on Metacritic so if you genuinely believe in Memecritic, you must believe that DS2 is actually one of the best games ever made
All the flaws of Soulsborne games were caused by Sony and Bandai Namco bullying From Software into situations they didn't want, those days are over, From Software is too powerful now, now, they call the shots! Sekiro was the first game to be fully developed after Hidetaka Miyazaki the Great, may his reign be everlasting, became the president and leader of From Software, it was a small side project and it BTFO every single Action-Adventure game that came before it and won GOTY with ease. Elden Ring is the main project and has the longest development time and biggest budget out of all From Software games, it will RAPE the entire gaming industry and redefine it as a whole, it will also BTFO all previous Soulsborne games.
You have a low IQ and don't know the history of Soulsborne games and their development, I do. You will KNEEL when Elden Ring is released.
God Bless Hidetaka Miyazaki the Great, may his reign be everlasting.
From Software is the best.
Audience is on PC. Not PS. That's the difference.
>More than 70% of Souls audience is on PC. Not on PS or Xbox.
Fucking lmao, PS4/PS5 version of DS3 gets by far the most PVP activity, Steam is lukewarm in comparison, and Xbox only has like 5 people.
It's an exclusive so it's only natural it sells less than others.
All 3 Dark Souls games have combined lifetime sales of 27 million, they are far into the mainstream
How about the rebuttal that this is years before Bloodborne was free on PS+?
Well there you go, Demon souls is only on ps5, of course it won't sell a lot.
Sekiro still had issues present from previous souls games what the fuck?
>PS4/PS5 version of DS3 gets by far the most PVP activity
Why don't you play so called ''ludokino masterpiece'' Bloodborne instead of Dark Souls 3 then? You are all claiming it's best game in the series?
That's not a rebuttal because it has nothing to do with my original point
1 and 2 are way too janky and mainstream media didn't really take them seriously.
I still don't know how I feel about open world and horses in a fucking From Soft game.
>Steam is lukewarm in comparison
Daily 15K players isn't really lukewarm.
>Sekiro still had issues present from previous souls games what the fuck?
COPE. Sekiro is the best (semi)Soulsborne game ever made. GitGud you filtered faggot.
Personally I'm burnt out on the series.
>More than 70% of Souls audience is on PC. Not on PS or Xbox.
49,000 players are on PS4 this month compared to 15,000 on PC. Google it
BB has trash PVP but it's a good singleplayer game, sort of a mid point between DS3 and Sekiro.
