"Guarantee of quality"... every time I read something like that now I have to think about the state that Cyberpunk was released in...
Has FromSoft ever released a bad game? Legitimate question.
Ninja Blade is hilariously terrible, watch some gameplay on YouTube for a good time.
Michigan report from hell meets god of war. What an absolute game. Truly a piece of media.
The first time they do will be the first one they release.
...my point is it doesn't really matter, don't preorder because you run the risk of supporting that first one. You can support good games after it's clear that they're good.
Seems like their PC ports are usually pretty rough on launch, but I've been playing since Demon's Souls and they haven't released a game I don't like.
Absolutely, most if not all studios have released at least one stinker.
Dark souls 2 was their cyberpunk 2077.
People were expecting better graphics, level design, and boss design on release.
Unpopular opinion obviously but I loved ds2, except for the poison spitting goddam statues and the level that was so dark you couldn't even see the goddam poison spitting statue before it spit goddam poison at you in the dark.
DS2 is also a fantastic example why just because something is by a certain studio doesn't necessarily mean much as it was made almost entirely by the B-team while the core developers were busy making Bloodborne. So while it is by FromSoft, the people working on it were mostly the ones responsible for the A.C.E series IIRC.
The same thing is what happened with Mass Effect: Andromeda as the OG trilogy team was busy making up the mess called Anthem.
Ah yes, cynicism ad nauseam
