damn. crazy sales numbers, looking forward to thier next game
It's now the 28th best selling game of all time
Should be over 30 million by the end of the year, which will put it in the top 25 best-selling games that we know of.
Imagine going back to 2011 and telling a Dark Souls fan that a single From Software Souls game sold almost 30M copies
Can be worst. Ten years before that, some discovered From Software in 2002 because they did two (exclusive) RPG games for Gamecube. The first one in in its first year: Lost Kingdoms series (Rune, in Japan).
LITERALLY NOBODY CARED.
And it happened before, with King's Field series in PSX in the mid-90s.
LITERALLY NOBODY CARED.
Also, Armored Core was slightly more famous in late 90s-early 2000s, but the useless media totally despised the series (including V) more and more at every episode.
Until VI came... and by some miracle (money), was totally hyped and mythicized by the media. You can search for that, not lying.
XD
You're telling me? I've been playing From games since Ever Grace on the PS2. To this day I haven't met anyone who has played that game. That game was so jank and weird too. It feels like a fever dream LOL. They've come so far though. I hope the Sony acquisition won't ruin the run.
That game doesn't even ring a bell in my memory. It probably appeared when PS2 was getting lots of japanese RPGs/action RPG titles starting in its second of third year and was eclipsed by the most famous ones.
We'll see how Sony would manage FS if that happens...
But what I really don't understand about that supposed buyout, is why in the hell Sony wants to buy all Kadokawa instead of only FromSoftware: Sony really wants to buy Spike Chunsoft? or more animation studios? and more magazine and book publishers? Seriously? Because that buyout will be huge in content, and not that interesting in annual net profit at all.
Kadokawa is a big japanese group, Sony will get a lot of very japanese market-oriented companies and lot of new workers (precissely when SIE has been deinvesting in japanese presence... since at least 10 years ago). If they want to reinvest in Japan, no doubt it is a great way to do it very fast. But if it's not the case... my god. The only real interesting thing there for SIE is FromSoftware. Why not buy just FromSoftware? Already have 14% of it.
