The entire narrative and lore of Elden Ring was written by a Western dude! George R. R. Martin. It's basically a Game of Thrones with High-Fantasy as setting. Again Elden Ring is not a JRPG. It's mimicing an WRPG which was developed by a Japanese studio.
So in your weird definition Elden Ring is a WRPG and Dark Souls a JRPG?

BTW George R. R. Martin only write the worldbuilding.. everything else was Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Maybe with Herman behind the wheel, I can get that Story mode I always ask for.

All these Xbox fanboys shouldn't be that upset that Sony might buy Kadokawa. They won't lose access to Fromsoft games cause they can still play the games on PC considering that a lot of them are Xbox refugees who migrated over to PC . They just pretend on X that they still "play" on Xbox console but the reality is they all have PCs and play on PCs. Hehehehe....

I've seen posts mentioning that this will be even "worse than ABK" on fami and era. Being against it I understand, but t's the fact that many of them championed the ABK merger so they just look like hypocrites.
Nobody knows what kadakowa even has or does.This purchase aint about gaming. Sure fromsoft is extra cake.

But people talking up kadakowa.And it's business Like the company were main stream convo like shueisha is comical.Stop the fronting.

This is a properJapanese company. We dont know about.

Not one person has named any of kadakowa's work.Yet it's bad for Sony to own them.Now all these gamers anime fans.

Where was you when Sony bought crunchy,aniplex and funi. Bunch of frauds 🤣🤣.
A lot of folks in the games press don't care about Anime and they don't watch many of it. There have been times in the past where they poke fun of the genre. Shit, I remember back in the days watching X-Play and each time they reviewed a Naruto game they would always mispronounced "Naruto." Lol.

Kadokawa don't even do anime and they barely do business outside Japan.
Kadokawa Group has one of well-established animation production studios in Japan.
So I'm not even sure what you are trying to say here.

They work in the whole industry since the Publishing and IP Creation until the Animation / Live Action of these IPs.
Gaming is basically a small part of Kadokawa.

And for Sony it is just a bonus and not their focus in that acquisition... they are interested in the Publishing / IP Creation.
Because Sony already has an Animation / Movie business.

I called them hypocrites in that same thread and was surprised that I'm not banned yet, and all they could say was response: nice avatar because I have a PlayStation logo avatar.

All I said was if you were a cheerleader for the ABK deal, you shouldn't be in this thread complaining about consolidation.
if it doesn't apply, let it fly...
Just one year ago they

Called for the dismantling of government regulations for large corps'
Claimed that a merger so large is GREAT for employees and that it's for their own good
Said that Microsoft (multi trillion dollar corp) needs more resources to compete
Championed taking predominately third party games to go exclusive, from TWO publishers.
Stated that this is good to get the people like Kotick out (by giving him a golden parachute)

I could go on, and on, and on. I seriously don't know how era didn't implode from that thread, but ever since it happened, media discussion around PlayStation has gotten worse. I'm assuming the astroturfing was a great success for MS.

Watching them scream for the end of the industry because of about 4 devs, while MS gobbled up DOZENS is quite something.

Correct. This is part of the reason why I don't interact online as much on there and most sites. it's not a community anymore, just brain-dead idiots who think they are business analysts and know what is best for the industry.

Resetera has to be the most pro Microsoft forum on the internet. Same people cheering for the ABK acquisition are now against this because all of sudden they grew as people and now understand the consequences. The hypocrisy 🤡 🤡🤡
This is correct because here's a response to my comment calling them a hypocrite
I mean you can absolutely backpedal no? Most people didn't realise the catastrophic effects that acquiring a big studio would entail.


As you can see the attitude towards acquisitions have changed dramatically after seeing the after effects. It's not even just Microsoft; look what happened to Bungie and Firewalk.
They can't just accept they were wrong without throwing the patent Xbox fanboy deflection of SonyBadToo

As if the internet community didn't have a lot to do with Firewalks closure..... yeah lets just bully a dev's first ever shot at a game, laugh at them mercilessly, but then blame Sony for being horrible in the end of it all. Pathetic IMO. And Bungie was bailed out by Sony, but nope. No getting through to them.

Correct. It's a lost cause trying to have an intelligent conversation with some gamers today, let alone find a community that is not affected by online brain rot and bring that brain rot talking points into gaming discussions.

I thought they only did manga and not the kind of anime you see on TV.

More proof that people don't even know what Kadokawa does 🤷‍♂️
