Remember back in 2011 when people thought Skyrim would be more influential than Dark Souls?lol
I fucking wish.I'd take 5000 scrollslikes over 1 soulslike.

>>719942098it was. also souls literally would not exist without elder scrolls.
>>719942098I remember this article (that still gets weekly comments)
>>719942231>The most successful videogame series in recent history would not exist if a director didn't hijack a failed project to explicitly do the exact opposite of what Shitblivion didWow what a flex
>>719942306The millennial writing is just behind me, isn't it?*GULP*
>>719942098Lmao what the hell are you on about? Every so-called modern open world masterpiece owes itself to Skyrim. BOTW, Witcher 3, you literally can’t find a dev interview where Skyrim doesn’t come up. Kingdom Come is just Skyrim with extra steps. Dark Souls wasn’t some holy influence, it was just laughably easy to rip off. The laziest design imaginable, tailor-made for rookie devs. Pretending that’s ‘influence’ is meaningless.
>>719942306>in recent historyI'm guessing your quantifier starts in 2009 (demon's souls) and not 2007 (assassin's creed) in a desperate attempt to feel correct, am I right?
>>719942770>assassin's creedYou mean that shit westoid series that flopped?
>>719942098>Sharting out an open world game with a boatload of cut corners so that you can defraud investors because it sounds like it would take a lot of effort to defecate on a randomly generated heightmap hasn't become the de facto business model of the so-called AAA and """AAAA""" industries. Dark Souls isn't even that influential when you only look at the studio that made it, since they completely switched tracks afterward and don't focus on their strengths.
