>3+ years later multiple discords are still focused on gaslighting you into thinking the best video game of all time was bad
what went so right /v/?

It's no Skyrim

/v/ hates video games

Elden Ring is easily the 2nd best From game after Sekiro

>>713957572 (OP)
Elden ring isn't bad but not great either. I only have an issue with overly pasted enemies and certain areas being too open.

It's only good the first time. Super exciting before the veil is pulled on how much of the game is padded with copypasted shit and bullshit boss design. It's the only soulsborne I've had zero desire to ever replay.

>>713957572 (OP)
its the same when retards like you try to convince ppl fortnite cod and many popular games was bad
fortnite is still the king of gameplay, weebcuck

>>713958063
You issue, i replayed it with 3 more characters and 1 NG+ and i'm cirrently doing my 5th playthrough.

>>713957572 (OP)
I like it. I think it's fun

>>713957572 (OP)
I like Elden Ring.

>>713958809

>>713957572 (OP)
Can I think the game is good, but with some pretty significant flaws that don't make it bad, but not the best game ever?

Okay.
It's just worse Dark Souls but between every location you need to walk through an empty field for 5 minutes and exploring said field at most gives you a glorified Chalice Dungeon except somehow less fun and ironically with less content than Chalice Dungeons.

Fromdrones wanted more of the same, FROM gave them more of the same.
And the rest is history.

Amazing, not a single thing in your post is true
Better luck next time!

>>713962189
how are all of the sisters in the 'cord doin?! i had to leave because the one guy (female) was being transphobic and toxic

>>713957814
Considering how little Sekiro sold compared to their other copypasted stuff I don't think FROM will ever make anything as good and instead will focus of making more of the same to rake in the big bucks.
Nightreign was another misstep they have learned to avoid, so trendchasing for what modern audiences mostly play is off the table too now.

>>713957572 (OP)
8/10, which is very good.
However
>the copy pasted enemies
>the copy pasted dungeons
>the fucking effects blinding you
>the worst pvp in a soulsgame(yes I know its a addon but the it was a better addon in every other game)

There's so many flaws that even with the amazing parts its hard for me to call it a 10/10 the perfect game.

>>713957572 (OP)
>best video game of all time
It's really not worthy of that title, sure I have a lot of hours in it, but that's just because of online. It's just another typical souls game, this time in a bad open world, the core mechanics and gameplay are still decent and fun though but its not the best the DLC was a huge disappointment too.

>>713962304
if you 100% it, its easily a ~100 hour game, roughly the same amount of time it took to go from 1-60 with normal questing on a somewhat optimalish route in vanilla World of Warcraft
like no i dont like fighting tree-demon 10 times either, but idk what people expected to happen, there is no way to make that much content for a game unless it gets stuck in dev hell for 15 years, reused assets were inevitable
the mountaintops really could've used some unique enemies though, even had a good theme of giants that was clearly cut

idk never played this shit, looks like trash and the gameplay looks ass

>>713958063
I can't play any Fromsoftware game twice.

>>713960468
If you're fine with that then good for you. I just prefer the more linear and focused soulsborne games where everything feels purposeful instead of the shotgun approach of Elden Ring. Finding another same looking dungeon where the boss is a common mob with a healthbar that you obliterate in 10 seconds gets way too boring and repetitive. It has its peak moments but a lot of filler padding out inbetween which makes me not interested in playing it again.

>>713962587
your opinion is objectively wrong because you're too thick to understand the video game if you think the level and world design of elden ring wasn't "purposeful"

Everything about this game was slop and low effort.

>>713957830
Really, you don't have an issue with the terrible mine and catacomb side dungeons, 3/4 of the game feeling like filler, the dogshit storytelling, the mind-numbing NPC quests that basically require you to follow a guide, the bosses that feel like a parody of Demon's/Dark bosses, poise being basically pointless under 100?

Honestly, Limgrave was 10/10 but the more you play the shittier the game gets.

>>713957572 (OP)
it is the worst one, though still good
just feels great to go back to the structure of DaS, where every area is so dense with meaningful progression and feeling of handcrafted gameplay.
You could fool me into thinking a lot of elden ring was randomly generated.

>>713957572 (OP)
grab a souls, rip apart its cool level design and put it in an empty ubisoft style map, spam ctrl-c ctrl-v and you get this shit. If you like elden ring I instantly assume you are inferior and have bad taste

>>713962867
>the terrible mine and catacomb side dungeons
they're fine the first time through, and you dont have to do a single one you dont want to on 2nd playthroughs
>3/4 of the game feeling like filler
that's your opinion, which is wrong but lets not get caught up on details
>the dogshit storytelling
IQ issue, it has some of the most clear storytelling behind sekiro
>the mind-numbing NPC quests that basically require you to follow a guide
actual IQ issue lmao, only quest i missed most of was yura 1st playthrough
>he bosses that feel like a parody of Demon's/Dark bosses
skill issue because you can't just circle strafe backstab or panic roll
>poise being basically pointless under 100
objectively wrong, learn how to make a build retard

All Fromslop games are different degrees of bad since they're shit games for absolute sub humans.

>>713963024
remove all challenge and sense of exploration, put it on rails for retards so they dont get lossed, remove enemy AI and place them in tight corridors so players cant as easily circle strafe them and add in more obtuse and restrictive shit mechanics like non-omnidirectional rolling and you get the dogshit that was dark souls 1
you're probably the same faggot i keep seeing trying to defend capra demon as a boss then complain about "normal mobs with boss health bars" lmao

>>713962489
I don't understand why you need a 100 hour game if the only way to do it is have a whole bunch of time-wasting by copy-paste. Why not have a 30 hour game of mostly original content that you can choose to replay if you liked it?

>>713963763
so you want to replay and fight the same enemies (a new playthrough) but not replay and fight the same enemies (who are in different locations on the same playthrough)
you can do the same thing with the 100 hour game and skip the content you dont want to do
that's why they're side dungeons
or instead we can force you through blighttown every playthrough, wow, what fun...
elden ring is the only from game i've ever bothered to replay

>>713963972
blightown is a better area than the entire elden ring map and its dlc

>>713963129
damn imagine being this bad at vidya AND dumb you can only parrot /v/ drone opinions to compensate for not being able to beat a game millions of normies have.

>>713964080
ds1brain take, maybe we can get a mod for you that lets you play elden ring at 0.5x combat speed, maybe that'd be more up your alley

>>713957572 (OP)
>body type: male (modded)

oh yeah, its time to enjoy some kino

>>713963972
Yes. The arenas are so samey for the most part that putting a boss in a new arena doesn't change the fight, especially since the boss doesn't have unique interactions with the arena or anything. In that sense I would rather choose to fight the boss again by doing a new playthrough then the game just deciding for me to fight a given boss up to 15 times just because. With the first playthrough in particular also, you don't know when a boss is going to be one you've already fought or not, or once you know it's a boss you've already done if you can actually skip it or if there's actually new content gatekept behind this copy-paste boss.

>>713964080

Ds1 plays like it built around you buying a guidebook.

10 hour game made longer through soulless methods, pass

>>713964237
if you only care about combat in the game and nothing else, like most souls secondaries anyways, why not play a game with actual good combat like ng or bayo instead

>>713957756
Skyrim is fucking dogshit

>>713962091
>used the word slop
Tranny

My initial reaction to Elden Ring when I originally played it was that it was a generally unpolished game where 75% of the content is filler. It has no replayability at all.
The game is fine at first, but then you get to Altus and you start to see that the open world is basically all the same shit in every region. All the same basic enemies, just with pumped up stats.
All the same landmarks and points of interest and field bosses. And, the only side content besides the few "legacy dungeons" are copypasted catacombs/dungeons/mines with less enemy/boss/room variety than Chalice Dungeons.

I never played the DLC, but no way in hell am I paying $40 for more of the same...

>>713964748
the dlc is a joke there are entire areas that are completely empty and serve zero purpose like that mist forest or the dragon mountain, it feels very unfinished

>>713964748
Yeah. ER and DS2 are the only games of theirs I played once and then never again. Just not good enough.

>>713957572 (OP)
Why are they like this?

>>713962303
sekiro was much, much cheaper than the souls games, and didnt have as much marketing. relatively speaking its an extreme success and theyre putting lots of it into their next games
im sure they will do something like sekiro again eventually, if it sold 10 million once, it can sell 20 next time

As a story fag I wouldn't have made it through the game if it weren't for ranni. If she and the other cute npcs weren't in the game I would've dropped it because the combat and boss bullshittery gets boring 1/2 way in. Dark souls 1 was peak. Every other installment has been pure horse shit after.

>>713963195
>capra demon as a boss
what the hell, that fight is fun
its only fucked if youre too underleveled due to its huge ass boss run, but its a memorable experience

the only good games were Demon's Souls and Demon's Dark's Soul's

>>713957572 (OP)
This game was such bullshit when it comes to finding the main storyline on your own, the micro second you get to that magic academy and bridge you literally lose the way, I had to search up a video guide on how to do that shit because THE PIECES WERE FUCKING HIDDEN ACROSS THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN MAP IN LITTLE FUCKING CORNERS AND PLACES YOU WOULD NEVER THINK OF SEARCHING INCLUDING DOING 15 MINUTES WORTH OF PARKOUR WITH N O F U C K I N G H I N T S, fuck I hate that so much

>>713957572 (OP)
Miyazaki really is absolute shit at storytelling, and this is the worst written thing he's ever made.
