These people don't have opinions of their own, they just repeat what they think is an intellectual take that an essay youtuber would have.

People who say shit like "Dark Souls 1 is better than Elden Ring because linear design is better than open world" don't actually believe the shit they're saying, they're just regurgitating an unoriginal opinion to an audience of equally unoriginal faggots who expect to hear that same opinion over and over because they've been conditioned by years of echochamber discourse and they want to fit in.

The attempt to intellectualize videogame discussion was a fucking mistake. I'm so sick of idiots trying to sound intelligent.

the open world would be far better if it was full of stuff, it's that simple. Don't make open worlds if they are empty with no quests, characters, shops, etc. Elden Ring is simply a bad game.

Elden ring would have been amazing if they actually went all out. Instead you get a checkpoint every 5 meters and an extra mandatory checkpoint before the bossfight. The game never builds any tension so you can just zone out, mash heals and spawn summons to rape everything
>>
I dunno how you can play any Metal Gear Solid before V and say V is better. Everything about the older games where you are forced to play how the devs want you to play with curated boss battles and environments is so much better

Wtf? there are literally quests and shops to find in elden ring you moron
>>
>>738870321
I haven't played Nioh 3 yet but I did see some of the intro and I thought it was really weird how they split up the weapons and the samurai/ninja/magic skills into completely separate classes that you switch between instead of being able to mix and match to create your own playstyle. They also locked away stances behind skills which seems really counter-intuitive, like they saw the complaints of "ki-pulse on dodge" not being a default ability and so they said "how can we do this again but worse?"

I'm a zoomer and I dislike open world because it means upwards of five minutes of nothing between every real bit of gameplay.
Algorithmically generated skyrim quests and picking up crafting materials aren't meaningful gameplay.

I guess every movie would be better if it was twice as long and a five-minute still image were imposed between every scene, and if I don't like it, I have no attention span?
Great works often require patience and engagement, but it's a poor work that wastes your time with literal nothing.

I don't have a problem with open worlds as much as their standard design, low hanging fruit content that's designed to be found as conveniently as possible with no organic in world navigation. if someone created a game about venturing into the unknown with a compass and a rough map and plain spoken direction as your aid I would be intrigued.

The fact that so many people on /v/ defend Elden DOGSHIT Ring should tell you more than enough: the majority of the old /v/ users are gone, most of these subhumans we communicate with are underage newcomers/tourists.

Because they value their time and want a concise game, the concept of wandering aimlessly for a dozen hours in a game is not a positive to them.
Neither is grinding all day in the hopes that a drop will occur or a level being gained. MMO fags don't count, since they've always been cancer and they're type of cancer is the norm nowadays.
There is a reason WoW was never big on /v/ until well after the takeover of redditors and social media fags, even when it was a cultural phenomenon and tv shows and cartoons were all referencing it /v/ didn't give a shit and had fairly low opinion of it and they're players.

An open world is just an interactive level select filler with very low tree depth.
It's just not interesting, especially when it's all just fields.
Open world works when the content itself is very dense, like in Shadow of the Colossus, it doesn't work in a game like Elden Ring, where you could cut 60% of the content by volume and improve the game.
>>738870190
There is never a point to "filling an open world with stuff", because there is no cap to it, you can always fill it with more slop.
You either spread too thin or you automate sloppa production until your automatic sloppa is too unappealing to play through.
An open world is only good if it only has the good content in it and everything else is cut away.
Elden Ring just has too much shit in it, it only needed the legacy dungeons aka the actual levels, none of the mines and catacombs and squid testicle side quest shit.
There is no point to having 10 mines that all have the exact same tileset and all have you descend the SAME mineshaft with the "jump off midway" elevator gimmick, it's just padding.

RPG stands for role-playing game. You play the role of a character in an adventure, and that adventure has uptimes and downtimes. If you are not interested in immersion and roleplaying and all you want is constant buttonmashing then go play some arcade game where you get non-stop gameplay and fuck off.

Dude, on second viewing, I realised there's only one grace in that video, damn, Elden God-Tier Ring is just downright unassailable at this point. I suppose it's just inevitable given Elden God-Tier Ring's heavily curated and tightly designed open world exploration due to looping level design, more dev resources to focus on varied levels, and success at emulating the feeling of a dangerous journey. I suppose in the previous games like Dogshit Souls 1 and Blooddogshit, the pacing was just always a complete mess, with an over-reliance on trash design and a shallow game loop. I suppose that's why Dogshit Souls and Dogshitkiro will always fail in comparison to Elden God-Tier Ring, because they are just fundamentally disposable, instantly forgotten experiences instead of tight, non-linear branching and heavily curated 'epic adventure'-designed experiences like which can only be found in Elden God-Tier Ring, a game that offers more replayability that players will cherish, discuss, and remember for years.

It is. It is one of the 3 big cancers. By making your game an open-world, you automatically get massive sales, normalfags love open-world games. You are clueless and out of touch.

Wrong again. It's obvious that you think all open world games are either Morrowind which you'll pretend is the one good concession despite not having played it, and then 2010s ubisoft style games which you also don't play. You're an ignorant monkey and the console games you grew up on were bad.

The open world was a good idea, but I'm guessing they ran out of time to fill these areas with meaningful things. This is very obvious in the DLC finger areas. You can see them try to break the emptiness somewhat with those roaming furnace giants, but they gotta do better than that in the next game.
>>
>>738868065
Because open world games all devolve into a chore simulator, where you just go around the map checking off a list of "points of interest" to clean up. If they don't turn into that then they turn into retard amusement parks like GTA where the "fun" is hue-ing at mindless NPCs as you shoot them for 3 hours and nothing fucking happens.
>>
>>738868065
Never thought I'd ever get to the point of actually agreeing with retarded millenials
Open world games appeal to greatness and to man's dominion over nature and life, but they NEVER EVER EVER in the entire history of open world games delivered to this premise.
Furthermore, if you want to conquer mountains then go do it irl instead of wasting that time in a game you retarded nigger
>>
>>738879073
>Wrong. That's like saying first person is a genre, or stage select is a genre.
Does making a game first person automatically give you massive sales? or stage select? No.

Open-world does, because open-world has become a genre, you are out of touch.

>Wrong again. It's obvious that you think all open world games are either Morrowind which you'll pretend is the one good concession despite not having played it, and then 2010s ubisoft style games which you also don't play. You're an ignorant monkey and the console games you grew up on were bad.
Nope, I am 100% correct. 99.99% of all open-world games are garbage, including Morrowind. I am not going to tell you which open-world game is good.
>>
For me, the biggest problem of open world games is the fucked up balance of the experience because devs can't plan with precision in what order you will do things.

Take a game like The Witcher 3, for example, the game has many quests where the recommended level is 20-25, however if you were to do them all you would for sure end-up doing some of them while overleveled, thus raping the challenge and the balance of the game.

In the case of Elden Ring, for me Caelid was by far the most challenging area, because i did it early. After Caelid i got very strong, and raped the rest of the game. Only at the very last map i felt challenged again, and the very last map is balanced around you having done everything else, because the devs know that you can only go there after everything else.
>>
I just don't understand what the point of the open world in Elden Ring is. It's the same as any of the other games, just stretched wide and thinned out for it. It's not like areas have enough encounter variety to make up for it.

Elden Ring has the best moment-to-moment gameplay of any souls, but is hurt by the open world and FP/memory lockets. If it had been a normal souls with a much larger scope and brought back attunement, it would have been way better
>b-but ashes of war!
Make them charges based off endurance or something. Maybe split equip load off from endurance
>But mana bar and pots are better!
No they aren't. Das 2 did it right, where attunement gave you more slots and more charges. Charges balanced miracles and sorcery to have completely different roles. In ER there's literally no point to not make a hybrid build of some kind because you always get full attunement slots and fp is a non issue

Corridor games were already outdated by the 90’s.

Dumb zoomer, open worlds are always shit for exploration because there is literally nothing interesting to find because it's all the exact same Ubisoft checklist design that fundamentally feels the exact same as every other thing you could find. Nothing in Elden Ring is genuinely unique. Everything is some copy/paste of another thing. Nothing is exiting about exploring in Elden Ring. It's just tedious. The closest it gets to good exploration is stuff like Mogh's blood palace and the who underground areas cause they feel new until you realize they're just the exact same as the previous open world but on a smaller scale.

Really? There's nothing to do in Limgrave? There are no enemies to fight, no bosses to defeat, no items to loot, no landscapes to explore, no dungeons to complete, no evergaols to clear, no NPC quests to follow, nothing? And that's just Limgrave, what about the rest of the game? Elden Ring literally has MORE content, unique content, than any previous Fromsoft game, and all of it is possible thanks to its open world design. It's longer, bigger, deeper, has more enemies, more build variety, and more replayability than your beloved Dark Souls 1. But there's "nothing to do" because it's open world.
Your worthless hyperbolic "arguments" instantly fall apart at the slightest bit of scrutiny.

That's incorrect, Elden Ring in its entirety has exactly the same amount of content as Blighttown, but spread across an exhausted and dishonest world of false impressiveness. It is boundless wanton Ubisoft slop to an almost sublime degree of mercantile plebian dogshittery. Elden Ring has no authorial oversight, no thematic objective, and no developmental goals. There is no structured ordering of communicative sensibilities, nor a layered stratification of interpretive game design tenets. Elden Ring at an abstract level is simply nothing, as all open worlds are and can only ever be. There is no underlying game philosophy in Elden Ring other than big protracted listless open planes with myriad slop fiesta Ubisoft tower bandit villages and unhandcrafted rocks to bound senselessly across like tadpoles skinned alive and tossed against the blazing edge of a molten razor. Elden Ring has no soul, no atmosphere, and no intent. It is the unconscious, blank, and purely reflexive mind of a toddler manifested in video-game form, a disparate medley, a videogame idea-salad.
