The thumbnail alone turned me off the video. Dude looks like the gamer version of Miley Cyrus.

Okay, but the creator of Elden Ring did list Breath of the wild specifically as a game he took inspiration for creating Elden Ring as well as it being his favourite open world game. I think it's silly to act like they didn't learn from it, it was literally used for research in order to create elden ring.....

Nintendo's game design changed everything
Miyazaki explicitly lists BOTW as an inspiration for Elden Ring (along with Shadow of the Colossus).

You can stop wondering. The answer is zero.
Watched it. Maybe I try ER again for a third time. Really want to like these games.
But all the souls games bore me for some reason. It high fantasy setting just doesn't click. It's world is filled with enemies and all friendly NPC's are static billboards with no real life to them. Luring enemies to them doesn't do anything, worse, it break immersion.
For context: I've tried every souls game at least once or twice and got pretty far a lot of the time. They're not that hard if you got the simple pattern recognition down. But in the end I just sorta stopped booting up the game because I'm not connecting for some reason. I'm guessing it's the high fantasy melodramatic setting, or just not a big fan that 'combat' is your only real verb, forcing you into fight (instead of finding clever ways to circumvent situations with interesting systems, making the world feel). It's enemy respawning systems just making everything really 'gamey' and static, feeling like i'm wasting my time.
I'm not sure. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Like I said, I really want to like these games.

Except they use the far superior version that 99,99% of games use (and for a reason) where you don't have to keep pressing the button all the time and changing target is not completely random because you just need to flick a stick in the direction of the enemy and not just hope that the game is gonna chose the right target.
Zelda lock on is archaic by modern standards.

There are literaly two studios (Quantic Dream and Supermassive Games) that do cinematic qte driven games and they are not blockbusters.

Many (stupid) people include any game with high quality cutscenes into the movie genre, even games that have a lot of gameplay and combat.

Elden ring and souls games in general use a lot of old school concepts. That’s all. At some point during the ps2 era the industry found out that you can sell more games if you design them to be easily won.
So instead of making games that try to stop you from winning they made games that want you and guide you to win.

Sometimes somebody says something that you’ve been believing ever since the beginning or ever since Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls launched. It can come off as being annoying. A lot of us know this because we preordered or imported every single game since the beginning. However, we didn’t make the video ourselves. The creator spent time to make the video. So
It only ever bugged me when I got sick of feeling like a noob. Sometimes this industry and a lot of Video Game YouTubers focus on new comers or people with little to no knowledge about a topic or game. While there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s nice to hear from someone who doesn’t have explain the thing from the very beginning. We get that much. Personally, From Software makes some of my favorite games.

idk he's doing a good job of convincing me to try those games lol.
Been sitting on that fence for a long-ass time now.
These are the weirdest takes to me. The games are incredibly straightforward in the ways that you are going to die. What would you need to watch a video for? It’s not like there’s some hidden trick to the combat. It’s literally hit shit and avoid getting hit in it’s simplest sense.
