Oh look! a new giant creature to do somersaults around
Thing is, thats not what attracts us. Its the way the world is alive. Lords finally did it too. The world is built to where it tells a story.
The Fire Giant is imprisoned by the kiln, left to be the last lone guard.
We arrive at the Temple of the Deep, only to hear i passing from an NPC that Aldritch isn't there, when we arrive where he should be he is not there.
The weird singing beasts around Liurnia can have their song translated, and they sing of being persecuted by the "Golden Ones".
These things are crafted with care, knowledge, and purpose. All of this is antithema to the quick bursting format of GaaS, where content is live for all of 3 months before becoming dead. It does not serve the art form, and you'll be left with hollow shell of a game as devs don't have time to breath life into each boss. You'll also end up getting even more reskins and people already complain about that.
That’s what attracts you, I have never heard anyone compliment the story.
And if it was that then they wouldn’t be “Souls like” because you can have a 2d rpg with “deep lore”
"I get to decide what you like about the things you enjoy, not you!"
Yes that’s what I said he was saying
Unfortunately for him, what he likes about a game doesn’t define a genre
Are you stupid or dumb?
Sorry to be the one to tell you that genres aren’t just things about a game that you like but you really should have known
I didnt say anything about genres, i called you stupid
That’s the discussion you joined, you chose the side of “only good games exist in this genre”
