can we finally be critical about this "game" without fromdrones mindlessly sucking on miyazaki's cock?
Type A/B body choices but /v/ bought it anyways LUL
>>729366513that is the least of problems
you mean four more years of contrarian seething?
stfu gay contrarian
>>729366439As someone that barely touched on souls games (played a bit of 1, 3 and ER for maybe 10-ish hours, the only issue that I have is the so called input reading. It reminds me of old arcade games that made you spend a ton of coins on certain opponents and then all of a sudden they became easy enough to beat.Other than that, I have no complaints, unless we touch on game optimization which is just horrendeous on all of their games. Only AC VI runs smoothly for me. Even if I go back to DS3 it still runs like ass.
>>729366664>score high therefore game must be gud
>>729366695>old acade FIGHTING games*to be more precise. This was true for street fighter and then later mortal kombat where the opponent countered you as soon as you HOVERED your finger over a certain button.
>>729366439No because I will never be able to understand what is intentional and what is a mistake because everything is so deep and confusing.
>>729366439It's the greatest game released in the past 10 years, the only bad thing about it are some recycled bosses and uninspired dungeons, but nothing is perfect
>>729366695>i've played this game for 10 hours, here is my opiniongo back retard
>>729366439It's still a good game, their approach to open world is so much better than the rest of the industry. I do have some nitpicks about pvp and bloated progression but that isn't enough to make me hate it.
I just bought it and I feel like I'm retarded for trying each "class" even though I know that everything can be obtained somewhere or other and given the game letting you respec, I should be Wretched
>>729366880I only played ER for 10 hours. I worded that poorly. Input reading still stands and it doesnt change magically from boss to boss. And their hitboxes are always criminally retarded. I dont really have to complete each of those games 5 times to hold that opinion, you buzzword throwing mongoloid.https://youtu.be/iFr47Xhc2Ac
>>729366439Great game if you don't compare it to other fromsoft titles. good thing most elden ring defenders haven't played a single one. these games are best linear and elden ring proved that. half the map is a complete waste of time, and replayablity is worse than ever. not even mentioning the sheer amount of copy-paste. its like they took the shitty chalice dungeons and decided to make an open world game out of it. the good parts are the railroaded linear areas as always. im glad they're going back to that because even despite these flaws ER was good. just a weird downgrade in some ways
>>729366439>Can we talk about that game>NO OTHER OPPINIONS ALLOWED!Why are you like that and what boss filtered you? It's one of the best games I've ever played. WTF is your problem spamming that shit every day? You didn't like it? Ok, fuck off and play CoD or whatever
>>729367113It doesn't matter which class you pick unless you're targeting a specific level for pvp and want to minmax stats
>>729367376played every soulsborne game, beat all bosses in all games, also beat pre-nerf consort radahn game sucks
>>729367089ER is one of the worst open worlds I've ever played and simply removing that one aspect would immediately make the game significantly better
Anyone have the webm of the bronyOP being killed with 2 vyke spears in pvp?
Dark Souls remake made by 2024 From Software: >go to the rooftop to fight the gargoyles >rooftop is now a big circular arena >first gargoyle comes flying across the arena at mach 12 while spinning like a beyblade for 37 continuous seconds >any time you try to take an action at the end of the spinbo it extends another 11 rotations >somehow whittle his health down to half > "zanzigoyle forgive me" >other gargoyle flies down > "ah together once again!" >now there are two gargoyles spinning endlessly spinning except with huge fire aoes that also explode covering the whole arena
>>729366439Yeah well for me, I liked the older Souls games but they got worse and worse imo. And ER was kinda the nail in the coffin with the massive empty map and mount riding. I hate mounts in almost every game.
>>729366439>can we finally be criticalPlease, being a contrarian retard while at the same time posting pedo porn is /v/ favorite passtime
>>729366695>Only AC VI runs smoothly for meUpgrade your fucking PC ranjeet. If DS3 runs badly it means you have a fucking Pentium
I’m not a fan of open world games so ER was a fun game but not one I’ve ever gone back to after beating it. I think fromsoft is at their best with well designed interconnected areas and the open world design required them to focus on how to fill the map between the major locations with copy/paste dungeons. I understand why people like Elden Ring but I prefer the more focused level design we saw in their earlier entries.
>>729367794Yeah, they've never topped Dark Souls 1 in this regard.While it's a totally different genre, Abiotic Factor does the looping interconnected map thing really well and it feels very satisfying.
>>729366439Shut the fuck up you twat
>>729366439I enjoyed ER but didn't like the bosses, their 'dynamic' choice of moves and combos is an interesting addition, but the combos themselves are too long and give you a very short window to attack, so fights lose flow and get boring, something that doesn't happen in BB and DS3 (not counting Sekiro, I liked all the bosses but I wouldn't consider it a souls game). Also in you 1st playthrough if you are a warrior and want to idk throw some miracles, good look finding the item that lets you do that, you can't organically plan a build that way.
>GoWnigger seethe thread #34,859
I dunno, still haven't finished this shit.
>>729366439The open world isn't interesting. I played Elden Ring first (yeah yeah) and having gone back to Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Demon's Souls soon, it struck me how much dead time there isn't. All their previous modern games are a straight high because there's no downtime. It's always "level with monsters punctuated by a boss," but Elden Ring has a giant, pretty but ultimately boring open world between the player and "level with monsters punctuated by a boss." I know for the average consumer, it's enough to ride a horse and look at the pretty graphics, but for any actual enthusiast, which doesn't really matter as those people didn't make From Software 20+million dollars, it's not enough. I'm not saying the Tarnished needed to find a town of Godrick soldiers on the run and they ask you to fetch them 5 missing repair tools so they can go south to the Weeping Peninsula. Fuck.
>>729369572Yeah I agree. ER defenders are quick to point out that it has more raw content which is probably true. But it’s like having 1 gallon of water in a 1 gallon container vs 2 gallons of water in a 20 gallon container. You have to work through a lot of fucking empty container to get to any of that water. There may be fewer bosses in the souls games but they’re all killer no filler.
>>729366439This game is the worst fucking garbage ever. There is nothing redeemable about it, the map is boring as fuck, combat is ROLL ROLL ROLL sometimes JUMP (no fucking idea tho which attacks are jumpable or not because the game fucking lies to you), story is shit, characters aren't even half baked, they are quarter baked, weapons feel like big ass paddles with either generic John Skyrim moves or retarded anime movesets.Honestly fuck this game, it's Dark Souls 2 part 2 open world garbage, Miyazaki should be ashamed, and GRRM can fall off a cliff for all I care
>>729366439The horse riding and combat was so shit. The crafting system and open world were bad. You could get rid of all the crafting materials and system and the game would be better.I would also just have one merchant that sells everything and their stock expands with collectables. Like in ds3.
>>729369572The open world is beautiful and provides a spectacle not seen in a game before. But they could've just let you ride through it to the actual content-filled dungeons instead of having all this pointless slop everywhere. Should've been more like SotC instead of this modern AAA garbage pointless crafting dogshit.
>>729370879Elden Ring Reforged has a decent system where, if you clear out a merchant's stock, it gets subsumed into Kale's stock.
I think it's way worse than dks3, just because I don't like the "open world" elements of it.
Imagine raiding /v/ every day for 5 fucking years over a computer game, starting 2 years before the game even came out. I genuinely cannot understand this mental illness.
Every other dev would've been laughed at for shit like this.
>>729373543I'd rather have that than janky ass animations and face closeups like Bioware games or BG3.
This game is boring and has no purpose. Like you do nothing in it.
>>729366439>can we have a contrarian circlejerk plslel, pathetic even for a /v/tard
>>729366439It's an alright game. My problem with it is that everything after Lyndell feels like bloat. Game could have ended right there. I also feel like this game has the worst fashion souls out of all of From's games
>>729366439As a person whose favorite games are ds1, 2, 3, des, and bb the open world absolutely killed ER for me, especially on repeat playthrough. So much of it is empty or reused, and they balanced the bosses such that exploring the open world is basically required to go through the dungeons (the giod part of the game) successfully, which makes replaying the game god awful. Beyond that, Nightreign is a fucking mess too. The timer and enclosing circle absolutely kill it for me, and there are lota of little issues beyond that-- I played 3 hours with a friend and refunded.
>>729367569>doesn't know Elden Ring has a twin gargoyle fightOkay tendie.
>>729366513>boughtlol
>>729366439I thought it was amazing the first time I played it but it does not hold up on replays.
>>729366439sure but I only if you admit that you got your ass beat my Margit, threw a hissyfit and went back to playing Devil May Cry
>>729371094The DLC is more like that. Less camps and sparser fields.
>>729376167>exploring the open world is basically required to go through the dungeonsLiterally skill issue.
>>729366439you'd need to play it first for that, you subhuman tendietroon
>>729366439My biggest issue is the samey dungeons with samey bosses, otherwise it's kino
FromSoft haters give me the exact same vibe as Facebook atheists did 15 years ago
>>729379361>can barely level>can't upgrade weapons fullyI mean sure, I could theorhetically play dodgeboy in all my subsequent playthroughs, boss fights taking 10x longer than they ought to, but that's not fun or interesting.
>>729366439What's there to criticize? Anyone who's actually honest about having a discussion knows the flaws of the game>Wasted potential in the open world with not enough dynamic events for how big it is, SOTE also has much more interesting topography and platforming than the base game>Combat is the best it's ever been but it still has loads of bad baggage coming from the Souls DNA like some borderline useless weapons and a passive skill system that was clearly unfinished given how you have three skill slots for equipment and at best you can use two of those but never three>Powerstancing is back but in a worse state than DS2 because FROM couldn't design a proper control scheme that allowed for full left handed movesets AND ashes of war>Enemy variety and design it's the greatest its ever been but it's still too easy to run past them and the rewards for actually engaging with enemies are dubious most of the time>Crafting is a great addition but for some reason some of the best items in the games can't be crafted and some base ingredients can't be bought and must be farmed in the most tedious ways possible>Torrent is extremely underused and overall poorly designed as a concept>The catacombs, hero's tombs and mines all have unique gimmicks and layouts but people bitch that they all have the same tileset and FROM could have put more effort into making more tileset>Night and Day cycle is underused and pretty much does nothing at all in SOTE outside of giving you some hidden Larval Tears>Melina was underused>Some areas, especially in SOTE are blatantly unfinished>No gender unique animations and proper body sliders/rigs for fema....*ahem* body type B despite previous games having some>Invasion system that works against itself on all possible levels and it's really just there as a legacy featureAnd yet it's still a better game than anything they made previously
