The positive impact Miyazaki/Fromsoft has had on the action game genre is undeniable at this point

Naw it really doesn’t matter, i dont even think im that hype for phantom blade…but combat wise, games have clearly evolved
I would have to disagree somewhat on this. A lot of games these days are in the Soulsborne combat formula where the combat is generally slow and methodical and you can't cancel out of attacks outside of games like Stellar Blade, Ghosts of Tsushima, and God of War.

:heh:


This is far from the truth.

Peak 3d action game combat was/is legit Ninja gaiden and DMC. You can sprinkle some Astral chains in there also.


Edit: my bad, I left out the goats like Metal gear revengance, Vanquish and Bayonetta

everyone needs to stop bitin the Fromsoft Stamina bar style shyt
Dark souls came out 16 years ago. Its time from some originality in the genre.Yeah fromsoft had some influence but it produced too many copy cats looking for the success of soulsborne.

Estus flask
Limited combat
bonfires
death mechanics
Stamina
Parry

Developers present these mechanics with nothing creative of their own. its time for them to leave them behind.

Hell nah. Platinum > From. These Soulslikes are so fukking boring, and indicative of the algorithms control of everything.

Seems like the only way to get $$$ to develop a game these days is to point out how similar it is to every other critically acclaimed and successful game that's come out.
