>>719333962just have fun
>>719333962shazam trannies truly had their minds obliterated by this game. go see a psychotherapist and stop plaguing internet discourse
try and think of it like an RPG sandbox
>>719334176qrd on shazam meme? i still dont understand it to this day, but the last marvel slop i watched was iron man 2
I think most normalfags liked it so much because it was an open world game that didn't hold your hand, and was actually somewhat challenging.
>>719333962I agree but you posted the wrong pic. All of that started with DS3 and ER is just more of the same garabage From has been regurgitating since DS3.
>>719333962Gen Z has shit taste.
>make casualized Dark Souls game marketed to football players and female streamers>add Game of Thrones to make the audience even wider
>>719333962>huge empty open world with almost nothing in it that adds nothing to the game and removes the iconic level design of previous souls gamestrue, I think open world was a misstep.>ridiculously overtuned boss encounters designed around abusing OP items and using summonsthis I mostly disagree with, you can still deal with the bosses with nothing but a sword and shield.>filled with reskinned shit from previous games, enemies and levels and other assets are repeated over and overyes, of course. how else are they going to populate the empty overworld?>shit pvpit's never been miraculous and in fact has always been tacked on multiplayer for autists.>DLC is all of the above turned up to the maxit's a solid DLC I have no complaints, except for the story of course.>literally feels like a slopified version of previous souls gamesnah it's more or less just as good but 1) the open world is a misstep and 2) they've hit a "difficulty ceiling" and are desperately trying to find ways to make it harder despite that people have adapted quite well to their combat system of the past 15 years or so.>somehow the best selling and arguably most beloved souls game>critics love it, wins game of the yearit's still a good game, even with all its faults. it's just that I'm personally left wondering where the series can go from here. you can't really do much to make it harder without people calling you out for dishonest tactics like input reading or delayed attacks. maybe they should drop the "difficulty" tagline all together and just make a fun game centered around exploration where the combat is a means to an end and there's an actually compelling fully realized story without any gaps? whatever they do, they should move away from open world because it ain't it.

>>719337146how is elden ring casualized?
>>719333962>removes the iconic level design of previous souls gamesThis was its worst flaw. And knowing fromsoft, it will stay in the franchise forever, just like the removal of item load(and meaningful inventory management) in DS1, the gutting of armour in favor of "muh fashion souls" in DS2, removal of stamina management and addition of arbitary item limits in BB(inferior version of DeS item load, doesn't allow for meaningful inventory management), and the gutting of medium shields in DS3.

i replayed all souls games, i cant believe how slow and easy they feel now, sekiro felt kinda different but with muscle memory was able to oneshot almost every boss except owl father and ishin, emma/ishinthanks for reading my blogpost
>>719334254redditors latching onto some random term they heard about from a youtube greentext video so they mention it at every opportunity in order to fit in despite understanding nothing about it
Are there salty Larian fans seething in delusion that BG3 was some big sloppy sell out or is it unique to From doomers?
>>719340490why are you still voicing opinions on a 2022 game which already has a sequel if not because you are filtered
>>719340817>From doomersnah, just a few loud bad actors.
>>719340490What opinions?

>>719333962>huge empty open worldBullshit, you didn't even fucking play the thing. You can't run 1 minute in a random direction without stumbling on a point of interest. The map is fucking chock full of shit.>ridiculously overtuned boss encountersI can partially agree with this, but only for the DLC. Base game is fine, bosses are fine given the power offered to the player character. If you're a retard who skips half the game mechanics and then complains that it's too hard then the problem is exclusively you being a retard and playing poorly on purpose.>literally feels like a slopified version of previous souls games It feels like what Souls should have been. DS1 and DS3 both feel small and claustrophobic, and by the time you finish them and get a decent build going that you may actually want to use the games are already over and there's no more content unless you want to repeat the game in NG+. DeS is the same as well, by the time you get a cool build with some cool shit rolling the game is over before you have much to use it on. DS2 is bigger but that game has other issues.>somehow the best selling and arguably most beloved souls game>critics love it, wins game of the yearYeah, because it's the best. It's not perfect and the formula needs improvement still, but it's still a clear evolution.
>>719340919agreed but it doesn't contradict my post
