How could From Software get so much right with Dark Souls 3 just to turn around and get so much wrong with Elden Ring?

Because they were late to the party when it came to Open World Slop. Everyone who isn't severely on the spectrum, was already burnt out on Open World Games by the time Elden Ring released.

ds3 is literally a stale version of elden ring combat
>bosses where you just roll inside their attacks brainlessly, no multihits that will inevitably damage you if you dont roll in the right direction because your iframes run out
>no jumping over attacks or ducking under attacks
>way worse 'skills' compared to ashes
>much worse stance mechanic
>bows are way worse, any silly gimmick is way worse
i love the frayed blade though

They pushed the absolute limits of their systems and world design ideology without devolving into self-parody. Elden Rimg promptly walked off the edge.

You and the Wilds shitposter should see if you can breed and create a creature with maximum autism.

Anon wilds has a 50% review score, 25% recent. Im pretty sure its atrocious and surely its a lot more than just one anon

Elden Ring has a thousand times better world and level design than Dick In Ass 3 it's not even a competition. I can't take anyone who holds this opinion seriously and can only assume you are a 3bab or Bloodboner.

Look at the reviews. 90% of them are third worlders who can't run the game. The game itself plays no worse than World. My 3060ti runs its completely fine.

Nigga DS3 is where everything went wrong with Souls series.

the only good parts of elden ring are the few legacy dungeons that mimick the older games level design. the open world is pointless busywork.

define 'completely fine', how many frames, what settings, etc
with that said i constantly see people bitching about gameplay and lack of content

>early to middle game feels very dumbed down with some features that make it somewhat brainless, without the enemies being made mechanically stronger to match it
>lategame is just more about one shots, nonsensical meme enemies that arent monsters, gigantic numbers

1080p, 120fps, (dips to 80s during high particles like Nu Udra, but doesn't stutter, which I would 100% have a problem with) High on everything except shadows and reflections, I think I might have turned down fur physics or quality or whatever too.

Lack of content fags are the kind that put 200 hours in the first week and complain there's nothing to do. The game at this point has about the same number of monsters as base World I think? Release might have been a bit light, less than World.
The one shots are a bit of a problem because faggots abuse the Seikret mounting for free iframes and healing. Which has caused Capcom to balance shit out of whack. I only really experience that with Seregios and Planetes. Even then its more of a 70% shot that gets followed up on before I can heal, which to me feels more like I need to get good and not get hit as much than anything truly unfair.

ya i dont know, my friend with a 3060ti and 7600x said he would often have 80-100fps on mediumish high even though it looks significantly worse than much older games

its almost like the seikret is a shit mechanic hmm

I just played through DS3 and it fucking sucked. Doesn't measure up to any other game in the series. Overshadowed by BB and Elden Ring on the action side, and by DeS, DS1, and DS2 in every other aspect. Level design is way too linear and boring, art direction way too ugly, mechanics way too streamlined with dodge being buffed to the point of being the be-all end-all defensive tool, weapon variety drastically lessened after being improved so much in DS2, and the boss fights? The number 1 thing I heard the most praise about for DS3, constantly seeing people say it had the best bosses FROMSoft had ever made? They are all fucking trivial. You troglodytes said fucking Gael was the best fight ever and all I fucking did was roll towards him and hit R1. The only fights that were somewhat interesting were Pontiff and Dancer but they both died way too quickly to really do anything. Light attacks in general are way too fucking strong, there's hardly ever a reason to do anything else.

On release there were some texture streaming issues so I often got background rock textures that looked basically like melted mud. Thats been fixed now and improves the game quite a bit visually. It honestly looks no worse than World to me at my settings. It doesn't look a lot BETTER than World, with a lot higher demands, but I think thats largely down to art direction. I 100% agree with people who complain about that. The ultra realistic look doesn't really visually impact as much. Or at least as often. It looks very pretty sometimes, but more rarely than World does.
>Seikret
I like the idea of it, I just don't think it should be available in combat, so I don't use it in combat. Probably should have been that way by default.
