You're right tbh. But i'm not even being hyperbolic or trying to be an ass when I say Elden Ring is the ugliest "AAA" game I have ever seen. From Software should be embarrassed that this is the best they could put out. All that money, all that talent, and they deliver... this. How people play this and think OMG WOW! is beyond me. I turned that shit off immediately. The combat is fucking flat, not hard hitting or visceral at all. Like what the fucking shit is this? They should have had less bosses and made the ones in the game more memorable experiences. Improve the moment to moment combat/gameplay. If this isnt the most unsatisfying kill I've ever seen I dont know what isAnd GOW R looks like a PS4 Pro game and guess what? It is!

Don't think there's a best director award, you must mean Best Game Direction. There's also best studio/publisher.My bet Is:
Best director: Miyazaky.
Best game: God of War.
Hopefully, because GOW combat will run circles around whatever the fuck this is.Besides GAMEPLAY will be the deciding factor between the two.

Combat is amazing in Elden Ring.Hopefully, because GOW combat will run circles around whatever the fuck this is.

The counterpoint to this is press x to pat your son on the back.
I actually liked GOW 2018's combat, it was better than previous games in every way but enemy/boss variety sucked ass, especially for a high budget AAA game. Lets hope they fix that with Ragnarok.Elden rings gameplay is good, god of wars gameplay is good
If you need a litmus test for games that have good gameplay just watch a much118x or sunhilegend video

I hopes you are right, lot of people complain about this game being cross gen but I couldn't care less about any off that, the visuals more than good enough, they already build the engine, they should focusing on giving me more variety enemies and bosses for me to fight.I think it was the enemy and boss variety was one of the main things said they were focusing on for this game. They took 5 years to make this so im expecting some epic fights.
I hope they do the same for Tears of The Kingdom also.
You couldn’t find a gif with less frames? This is not cinematic enough.You're right tbh.

The deep lolz.
I'm sure Elden Ring will win many GOTYs, but God Of War is sweeping it.
Elden Ring is basically just combat. I don't see anyone saying this story is some life changing thing and the variety is very little...the puzzles are so bad, its clear its an after thought.
God Of War is going the story, set pieces on top of combat variety and actual puzzles that make sense to that world, ON TOP of recency bias. So many will be talking about it leading up to so many of those awards, that I have a hard time believing Elden Ring will take the majority. They do a great job with combat, but everything else suffers a great deal and God Of War is just one of those packages that does many, many things very well vs 1.
So after they are doing seeing they story of BOY, watching Thor get ragdolled, seeing wild set pieces and crazy axe puzzles etc, that is what they will be left with before they vote. God Of War is merely the more complete experience
Because Elden Ring is not more of the same for the... sixth time?Ragnarok is just more of the same (which would still be a great game and a perfectly fine sequel), I don't think it's enough.
Tbf that is from a meme video made by a group of trolls.Hopefully, because GOW combat will run circles around whatever the fuck this is.
Because Elden Ring is not more of the same for the... sixth time?
It is, but most people (especially critics) don't seem to mind.
but if Ragnarok is the same with some extras here and there I don't think it will get the same amount of excitement.

in elden ring everything but combat suffers a great deal and God Of War is just one of those packages that does many, many things very well vs 1.

All undeniable
God of War a much more well rounded package. Elden ring isnt even a "gameplay first" kind of game.
Its Gameplay only at the expense of everything else.
Definitely elden ring, i mean elden ring compared to the souls games is by far the weakest imo
Last of Us 2 also did not fundamentally invent something entirely new. I think. Have not played it, and did not finish the first PS4 Remaster. And it did just fine in the GOTY races. I'd even expect one or two publications will give their GOTY award to the TLoU part 1 remake.Because Elden Ring is not more of the same for the... sixth time?
I still don’t see what elden ring brought to the open world that made it so unique outside of the mount having a double jump and good enemy variety.
There’s a lot of reused content, like the catacombs, hero dungeons, caves, and mines with a ton of reused mini-bosses. The first time you see a dragon it’s dope as hell, the 10th time you see one you’re just annoyed and gallop past it. Same with thing with those lava wyrms and floating cats. Elden Ring suffers from a lot of the same problems a lot of open world games do everything is cool and fun and exciting for the first half and the second half feels like you just want it to wrap it up already.
Mountain tops of the giants was desolate as hell and had all the same enemies i saw the first 3rd of the game. The game probably would have got a lower score if half the reviewers actually finished it.
If i were basing my opinion on elden ring up until leyndell I’d hold it on some revolutionary arc as well. It’s the first souls game i didn’t have an immediate desire to do a new game + in right off the bat cause i was so burnt out on it by the end.
People have gotten so hyperbolic about Elden Ring it has made me actually like it less.
Skyrim combat also sucks but it gets mad props for its open world exploration. Wouldn't you give ER props for combat as well as being one of the best open world exploration game ?God of War a much more well rounded package. Elden ring isnt even a "gameplay first" kind of game.
Its Gameplay only at the expense of everything else.
Tbh the game being freeroam makes a massive difference, its weird its different while also having a familiar feeling but id say its definitely one of the easiest souls games except for main bosses being massive sponges, think my only issue with the game is that its like BOTW where once you finish the game and put in alot of your time you dont really want to go back and play it again, id say its a good 8/10 but i much prefer souls games to elden ring thoughI don't own Elden Ring, but it is interesting hearing this opinion after the onslaught of praise the game has received.
Is it really the case that it doesn't surpass the souls games?
"Lightning Bolt!" "Lightning Bolt!" "Lightning Bolt!"Hopefully, because GOW combat will run circles around whatever the fuck this is.
NoBecause Elden Ring is not more of the same for the... sixth time?
BB and Sekiro have better combat. ER's combat feels like a step back. Worse enemy designs and way less visceral than Sekiro and BB.Combat is amazing in Elden Ring.
Sekiro is a different type of game.BB and Sekiro have better combat. ER's combat feels like a step back. Worse enemy designs and way less visceral than Sekiro and BB.
How do you know those same critics that gave the 2018 game GOTY won't "seem to mind" regarding Ragnarok?
So the same ones that didn't mind Elden Ring being more of the same of the past games, also in large rarely give them the nod for GOTY.....so I think many need to keep that in mind.
I don't know but Elden Ring has a 96 on Metacritic which is insane.
I'm not trying to shit on Ragnarok, it's my most wanted game this year. I just don't think it will get the same media hype as Elden Ring.
