That's what i thought, but if there's any way their next magnum opus takes longer to come out for whatever reason because of these side projects, that's not ok for me.
And i don't think they'll release ER2 right after Duskbloods. There were rumors going around for some time that their next big game has victorian style era a la bloodborne, and the combat system is heavily focused on magic, most of which is melee range magic. I hope this is not duskbloods? If so... fuck.
And i am pretty big into pvp since Demon's Souls, so to me pvp is not a negative, but i don't want just pvp. The full package to me is a quality singleplayer game, and pvp, which serves me as the endgame for hundreds of hours. It's perfect that way, and i don't want them to change the formula.
