Is bibeo gaming ever going to reach 00s-level greatness again?

My buddy asked me if I was going to get one of the new Xboxes and I was sincerely like "Why would I?" Half the time I'm playing Xbox 360 games on an Xbox one.

people slagged off the xbox one for trying to be an all-in-one entertainment system, but I used it more for watching youtube and streaming movies than I did for actual gaming. 80% of my library on it were games from previous generations, as well. I might actually buy some sodding games if they were any good

I'd say Demons Souls and all 3 Dark Souls are worth your time. I burnt out on Elden Ring about 3 bosses from the end. An interminable game. About 4 hours in I stopped enjoying it and told my wife I was riding around aimlessly trying to find the actual game in this game. The worst thing they've done in years.

The more I replay their King's Field series, the more it grows on me. I think KF2 (1 in the US) and KF4 are two of their best games.

Yeah but they all look so bad and the selling point is you keep dying? Idk I'll try it some day but I am more of a hack n slash and GTA like of guy

I watched someone play one of them for a while, I don't know which one it was but it really did have just a shitty, ugly, depressing look about it. It also looked hard as fuck to the point that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it

Honestly I had the Xbox one and 360 next to each other, the TV was switched to the 360 90 percent of the time unless I REALLY wanted to play Fallout 4 or Mortal Kombat X or some shit, usually when I just finished the better previous game on the 360

The dying and difficulty is overstated. It takes some time to adjust, but once you do they aren't that hard. The selling point is exploration, decent boss fights (especially in DS3) and replayability due to build diversity and the NG+ system.

I can totally understand why people would hate them. They don't have great graphics and there is a lot of jank in all their games, but if it clicks for you then there's nothing quite like it. Some of the level design is the best I've seen in any game. they are greater than the sum of their parts.

Fromsoft more like Fromslop.
"BRO, these games are amazing! They're like, so HARD, bro! So hard that they were inherently designed to be beaten by mass market audiences and millions already have!"

Having super slow unresponsive weapons, ultra jank enemies, and long stretches of redoing the same shit without checkpoints is one way to say your game is challenging. I beat DS1 just to have the right to say it's dogshit without the sycophants using their only deflection of "skill issue."

And don't get started on the "the world building is so good!" when japs just drizzle in a bunch of random bullshit and let the community write the story in.

Anyone who claims "skill issue" is a twat, so I'm with you there.

The game wasn't made with difficulty in mind. Later marketing "Prepare to Die" turned it into a meme, but ilthat was never the point of the game. 90% of the NES games I owned were actually hard games and I never finished them. Ghosts and Goblins makes Dark Souls look like Candy Crush.

The western AAA is staring down a full blown crash if they don't cut out all the bloat from their companies and give the development teams more control. New IPs use to come out constantly, now it's remakes and they don't have a hundreds years of games to go through like hollywood. They complain that audiences don't want new IPs while the indie industry has 0 issues putting out new titles that people love.

The AAA industry has to return the reigns to the people who make the game and understand how to make it fun. If writing & marketing teams were in the back seat things would be a lot better, but because the industry blew up so quickly a bunch of retards thought people bought games for DLCs and their shitty barely B movie worthy stories.
