Damn! I thought I covered my tracks properly. Shit..
Thanks for the critique boys. Gotta work on my shit posting so it comes off as less toxic later.

I believe it has one of the highest completion rates of any open world gameElden ring is overrated tbh
Lots of things about the game are cool and neat, but pacing kinda kills it for me.
Looking for the next area can be a real chore.
You have to really be into searching high and low in open world games to enjoy this one.
Isn't the completion rate still comically low?
I'm playing it right now, because how great everyone was saying it was. I stand by everything I said. Frankly i find it a tad boring. Maybe I would enjoy it more if it ran more stable, but I doubt I'll ever find out.That is a limitation of the hardware and not the game. As for "build variety" - build variety in any FS game is Magic or No Magic. Just kidding, it's all about the weapons which BB has in spades.
. . .I mean if you didn't play the game that's fine, but knocking it for silly reasons is an odd way to go, especially as it has everything people swear that ER has, particularly an evolution of the Souls-formula that actually feels evolved (and not just "same but different"). Like, ER is a much more competent game than DS3, but at the end of the day that is exactly what you are playing in ER, "Next Gen Open World DS3."
It's my favorite game of all time too, it's subjective opinionsIt was GOTY 2022 (albeit I still have not played Ragnarok), but let's not get crazy...
There are two types of people who love Elden Ring.There are two types of gamers.
1. Those who believe Elden Ring is one of the greatest games ever made
2. Those who are wrong
Damn you must really have a hate boner for souls games, you were the first comment on the other thread too lmao
Possibly the most overrated game of all time imo.
Its innovation on the Souls formula's exaggerated tbh & it's major flaws somehow escaped actual criticism.
But hey whatever works with you man.
Considering from software actually delivers games at a good pace I'm sure a new souls in 2024 a sekiro in 2025 and an elden ring sequel in 2026Elden Ring will be one of the best games of this generation for sure. And it is a crossgen game! I hope that we get a PS5 only Souls experience before PS6/next Xbox arrives. I found GOW Ragnarok better but it was because I personally choose to go to Caelid too soon and suffered a lot there. The best part were in my opinion moments like the castles where a Dark Souls like experience (tight game design, more controlled and hand crafted experience) than the open world sections. It makes me hope that Armored Core will be as good. We need masterpieces games like that.
Knack transcends games and is simply humanitys greatest achievementBut that's not when Knack came out.
I wouldn't go as far as saying it's worse than DS2 or even close to that but the level, encounter & boss design of the main story dungeons drops off a cliff after the first one, plus replaying it and having to rush the dungeons that have important items in them is boring. All I can think about it how many generic dungeons I'd have to go through to get the good gear and upgrade mats. The world is fun to explore the first time through but it comes at a big costWorst From game tbh, even worse than DS2. Only one that I didn't finish as it was too dull and boring.
yes horizion is over rated and second game is trashOne of the most Overhyped and overrated game of all time. It's a great game not gonna lie. Sekiro and Bloodborne are better.
I'm speaking personally when I call it the GOAT game.I still haven’t played it but I seriously doubt the title. Is this better than Zelda?
>JoJo pfpSouls borne fans are among the most annoying fanboys.
I used to think playstation fanboys are the worst, thanks to the 8 to 1 ratio. Xbox fanboys are just as stupid, but having a playerbase 8 to 1 it's just easier to see the annoying fanboys.
But souls borne fans, they are a different breed.
They constantly have to jerk each other off, and if you don't want to jerk them off then you need to git gud.
They can't understand that people can't like what they play.
It's only because people are bad at the games. Because if you were good then you'll love it. Best game ever made.
And they get a boner while typing it online.
They want to be Chad's because they play difficult games, just because they can mirror themselves in it from the real world.
They are the most vocal minority of fanboys, yet when one come out talking about the games then it's only minutes before the great big circle jerk comes out.
What are you trying to say?>JoJo pfp
It has been out for decades, hasn't it?Funny it seems like Mario Kart 64 been out for decades.
Looking forward to that haptics-update...

This is not Souls fans jerking off to this game.. just check this very thread with several souls fans saying its not even the better souls game, not even close ... this is the Open World lovers that are jerking off this game ad nausea, and this game is easy as fuck, first from game you dont have to get good, just fucking spam skills, use 20 sumons and call 35 npcs to help you ...you are aiming your frustration to the wrong fanbase my friendSouls borne fans are among the most annoying fanboys.

No, that's Knack 2.Knack transcends games and is simply humanitys greatest achievement
That's the exact reason the Mods slapped his punk ass with that tag.Damn you must really have a hate boner for souls games, you were the first comment on the other thread too lmao
Yeah Limgrave alone was fantastic in the first playthrough. Almost had a Bethesda style coming out moment when exiting the starter dungeon.Having map expanding was so wild.
Like you explore Limgrave and it already seems huge.
Then you get to Liurnia and suddenly the map is twice as large.
Or you get teleported to who fucking knows where, manage to escape the mines, open your map and you are in the middle of nowhere in the east, and there's nasty red stuff everywhere.
And then you get to the capital. And then to the mountains. And then you go underground. Multiple times! And then you find a secret location inside a secret location.
Fuck, I want to go play it again.
The way they did the map is great! When you think you almost finished, they doubled or tripled the size of the map....I was likeI spent 25 hours in Limgrave and was like, damn, this game is huge.
Then the map expanded, and I was like
I thought big bloated maps are bad? At least I'm constantly hear this in Ubisoft games threads.I spent 25 hours in Limgrave and was like, damn, this game is huge.
Then the map expanded, and I was like
Same. It was really a great game, but the loop is constantly the same, as it was since DS. Open world is nice but also filled with the same caves where you fight a mini boss at the end.I put 30 hours into it then dropped it. It was boring and soulless.
Bro! Have you seen how big that map is ? Its big! I mean is huge! Its huge big! I mean is really big! You can ride it for hours and hours and hours in your jumpy jumpy horse! Is soooo mega ultra huge!I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what Elden Ring innovated on - aside from making Soulsborne games accessible because of Summon & Ashes of War abuse.
The only things I can think of are it's Victorian setting, and rewards more aggressive gameplay. Guns are popular..?I don't get the bloodborne love, runs pretty awful and is a blurry mess. There is no build variety or interesting abilities. Still fun to play, but it's the worst souls game.
Yeah I can understand this, I’m no git gud gamer either, never finished a single FROM game, until Elden Ring.Ahh Elden Ring, it is a great game sadly not for me but a great game and i enjoyed mostly my 71 hours of playing it.
I list some reasons why it is not a game for me.
- Sense of dread is overwhelmingly depressive. - Goes for all soulsborne games.
- Punishment for lack of reactive skills are just not worth when i have a lack of reactive skills.- This is something a lot of people might not understand but for a person that has reactive disabilities retrying a boss 30-40 times just at one point seems not worth it anymore. General Radahnn (after 70 tries) did it for me. however i did beat him only the victory at that point felt like i brute forced instead of actually winning. that was also where i decided enough is enough been playing Demon souls and all dark souls, bloodborne Elden ring was the final nail in coffin so to speak.
Final Words:
I recognise the game is great and lot of people enjoy the challenge and exploration i think Elden Ring might be the greatest game i never complete due to reasons above.
so yeah great game not for me, but great non the less.
And they will speak of our greatness forever and ever till the end of timeNo, that's Knack 2.
For me, it should be placed into a capsule, taken up to the ISS, and jettisoned into the void of space and directed to the outer edges of our galaxy so that, perhaps, in some distant time, some advanced civilisation on the outer edge of the known universe, can retrieve it and marvel at the breathtaking level of sophistication our species must possess to produce something of such unquantifiable majesty and sublime beauty.
They will call our people 'The Distant Designers of The Knack'.
Beautiful.And they will speak of our greatness forever and ever till the end of time
No, that goes to Knack 2.It's a great game but it is not the second coming of christ.
