would elden ring be a better game if, instead of the open world, they went with tradition soulslike level design?
no
>>747645531You'd lose the second-worst aspect of the game which is the pointless bloat and reused assets at the expense of the best aspect of the game which is the massive build variety and how quickly you can set up most builds you want. On balance I think it'd be a noticeable downgrade, unless you assume that in paring down they're also willing and able to take time to polish (or just dump) the more obnoxious boss fights.Worth considering also that the worst parts of the game happen after it already goes essentially linear.
>>747645531No, the open world is great
for me, personally, yes.
>>747645531Yes. What made Dark Souls fun was an extremely curated level design. An open flat plane with dotted items and objectives is fucking boring.
>>747645531>guides on day 1Tranny gaem
>>747645531of course it would have been, but we live in a post Breathe of the Wild world that reignited the open world trend and anyone denying elden slop didn't become an open world because of BOTW is delusional.
>>747645531Yes
>>747648750Dark Souls has ubsurdly bad levels, so this is really funny to hear. If you said Demon's Souls, I'd be inclined to agree.
>>747645531Nope. The sense of scale makes the worldbuilding much better.
>>747645531yep. the open world is dumb. the horse is dumb. jumping is fine. the "legacy dungeons" need to be the standard, no the exception.
>>747645531I hate open world
>>747645531The first play, sure, absolutely. Once you learn about the game you know where everything is and bounce around just like any other of the games.
>>747648865>*absurdlyPlease learn how to spell
>>747645531Probably but that's a beaten horse and has been discussed to death.You know what's really retarded that nobody talks about? How fucking atrocious the boss collision is. The bounding spheres used to prevent the player from clipping too deeply into the boss are fucked in several cases (usually against hunched over, quadruped, or otherwise big weird body shapes) and can result in short range weapons just whiffing point blank because your range just isn't long enough to overcome that bounding sphere and reach the actual hurt sphere. It's insane that this is somehow an issue.Also female characters use male animation sets so the girls just look like troons.

>>747649242oh that looks exactly like what the OP was looking for, nice find anon.
>>747645531>>747647293>>747648150Yes. Only retarded zoomnigger mutts place elden ring higher than DS/BB/DS kino.It's the perfect retarded game for low IQ mutts
