Post games ruined by crafting systems.
(pic strongly related)
>>
I mean the crafting system is just an alternative way to buying items from vendor, which was the boring way all previous Soulsgames did it.
>>
>>739886754
Yeah except many of those items are now basically unusable unless you cheat.
Nobody is using draw-string resins in Elden Ring unless they cheat because farming them is completely untenable, while buying them in DS3 was convenient and made them a viable option for playing the game.
This is especially egregious in PVP where craftable resins, pots and other consumables are the meta, so the game forces conditioned the whole playerbase to cheat for things that people previously could easily obtain legitimately.

>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T USE CRAFTED CONSUMABLES
>AIEEEEEEEE NOT THE SPICY MEATBALLS SAVE ME MITSUBISHI
>>
>>739886912
Yeah, you really should have been able to do both. Craft them AND buy them. Not just one or the other.
>>
>>739886912
You can make due without consumables lol.
>>
>>739886912
They added a string bell in the DLC so you can buy strings anon
>>
>>739887867
you can infuse pretty much any weapon in er anyway. just use sacred or magic lol
>>
heh look at this pvp baby whining that he actually has to play the game
>>
>>739886912
>farming for materials to make items BAD
>farming for souls to buy items GOOD
the second one is objectively less interesting because you can just farm any enemy and get everything you want, as opposed to needing to go to a specific place to get your stuff
>>
anybody wanna duel on den w me?
>>
>>739886640
>>739886912
Yeah I don't know how you coop niggas play this shit without the chainsaw glitch. Having some fag get hit 1 time then run away to heal up with Bestial Vitality all because he didn't one shot you might be the gayest shit about Elden Slop
>>
>>739888741
bow? bhs mirror? prata?? or just literally pressure him lol??? er has so much shit you can use idk how your having problems with passive play.
>>
>>739888953
>idk how your having problems
What are words nigger read my post next time you stupid fuck
>>
>>739889136
tl;dr
Git gud scrub
Lmfao
>>
>>739888245
Nigger no one wants interesting to buy consumables. I just want to buy consumables, not pick daisies you fucking fruit.
>>
>>739889136
don't insult me, it hurts my feelings. And, like I said, just rot prata him, block, and then move on and take fight another nigger. i don't understand how you're bothered by that lmfao.
>>
You can literally ignore the entirety of the Crafting system and be plenty strong to beat the game with ease though?
>>
>>739889637
OP is a wannabe redman who got assblasted by some pot thrower
>>
i have opened the crafting window TWICE. once to check it out, once to craft the pot that allows you to kill the walking firebaskets in the dlc.
i have 400h in elden ring
i feel like it was added because they felt like if it's an open world game, it needs a crafting system. i dont think it "ruins" it.
>>
I played the whole game without ever picking up the first crafting book, it was literally disabled in the menu for me the whole time. Will NEVER use that gayass shit.
>>
>>739889456
>i don't like farming, i just want to go pvp as quickly as possible
then cheat, what's the problem
>>
>>739890708
I'll accept farming souls because you can use them for a wide variety of things.
>>
who's up for a PC fight club???
just let me finish my sissygasm first then I'll host
>>
>>739891489
on den nigga. and what a nice coincidence im jacking off rn too
>>
>>739888245
You never needed to farm souls to use greases, if you used them for pvp it was literally self-sustaining. They weren't expensive enough to ever be an issue.

>dude just don't use them then it doesn't matter!!
I mean yeah that's kinda the point.
In all the other games it was perfectly viable to use greases as a core part of your build, by locking them behind infinite material grind they pretty much just made it so that nobody except cheaters really uses them anymore.
The crafting system functionally removed a feature from the game for no reason, that sucks.

>Some mentally ill people somewhere cheat in mats in ER

>>739886640
it's not ruined by it but the system itself is stupid enough to where i'd rather not engage with it. all the dope shit is gate kept by obnoxious drop rates for the necessary craft materials. i mean yeah you could cheat them in and save the grinding headache. but seeing how common of a solution that is just means it's a failure of the system.
