Elden Ring fanboys gonna fanboy, but…

Game looks like it should have been released 10 years ago and it looks boring AF in every clip I see of it.

Lmao @ anyone screeching about GOTY for this game.

I would be upset if what you said wasn’t so incorrect lmao.

Also, don’t let this distract you from the fact that Elden Ring looks like a 10 year old game and looks boring AF.

Honestly Donkey Kong or something looks considerably more fun than anything I’ve seen from Elden Ring.

I'll agree the graphics aren't deserving of the praise and look like a ps4 game remastered for ps5. There's some beautiful scenes and art direction for sure but I'm talking about the actual graphics. And that would be made much clearer if you compare it to a game like Demon's Souls.

That said, I haven't played the game and haven't seen much so I can't offer an opinion if the reviews were overhyped. What I can say is while I like playing linear souls games, they're mostly for the combat, maxing out stats and trying out new gameplay mechanics and the cool mood and atmosphere.

I feel like just having a souls game in a huge open world though, won't be enough to make the game super exciting for me. They would have to add things in regards to quest and story elements to make an open world feel fulfilling and engaging. At least for me. So I hope they were able to do that and I won't just spend most of the game just running around from dungeon to castle to dungeon fighting monsters.

lol at people who based a games value on graphics. PS4 had better graphics than switch, yet switch is destroying it and it's successor.

I mean it's just Dark Souls 3 put in an open world map.

Nothing more nothing less.

If people liked Dark Souls then they'd like this.

If people didn't like Dark Souls then they probably won't like this.

Yeah it's just the latest hardcore nerdy game for masochistic gamers who enjoy punishing games. Can't say I got a problem with it though as it's just not my thing and I am fine simply dismissing it as I know what I would be getting into.

Plus it's just the latest flavor of the week/month as there hasn't been much new for the hardcore crowd in a while.

I'm confused. Is it "not for the hardcore crowd" or is it the latest for "hardcore nerdy gamers"? btw it's all cool you aren't into really difficult games. I just don't get it that you seem to harp on "hardcore mega-nerd gamers" while simultaneously saying "it's the latest flavor as there hasn't been much for the hardcore crowd lately"

were none of these well received games for "the hardcore crowd"? They are all 2022 games. I got lazy and didn't put ratings for the first few games, but they are all 80 or above... but I also know ratings don't mean anything to you necessarily, so no big deal

You mad?
I did notice that it looks and moves like DS3, not next gen at all. But at the end of the day the gameplay is what truly matters, so I'll still happily play it.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Different audiences really. When I said this is for hardcore gamers/nerds it's because that's simply the type of person that soulsbourne games tend appeal to. Like I'm sure some people who aren't a hardcore gamer might enjoy it as well but generally speaking if you desire that sort of game and get all wrapped up in the gaming community hype you are probably a gamer and a rather hardcore one at that.

Like the average person with a casual interest in gaming isn't going to go for it, in fact the success of these games is essentially a statement for how important hardcore fanbases still are in the gaming industry. Most of the fans are people who already played past From Software titles that find their gothic art style and brutal difficulty appealing. That's pretty niche stuff.

Only thing I don't understand is how FROM games never get chit on by reviewers for their games running like crap (poor optimisation, multiplayer issues with Xbox) etc.

Runs fine on Xbox and has hardly any bugs compared to another large open world game like Skyrim, fallout or cyberpunk

Nobody is saying the game needs amazing graphics to be good. Of course gameplay is most important. But critics are calling something a 10/10 masterpiece game of the decade then I'd say some people would look at the "just decent" graphics and poor optimization and say hey how does that contribute to a perfect score?

Fair criticism. Again I haven't played the game but just giving an opinion on why some people won't think it's a 10.

Unpopular opinion but I think the game is over hyped and the whole "hardest games ever made" is fukkin dumb. Anyone can make a single player game and ramp up the difficulty and health of bosses.

I don't buy into the faux difficulty of games like this. Making bosses with absurd health that you have to fight for a long ass time just basically trying to have perfect dodges/blocks/attacks is just kind of a "meh" way to make a game difficult. It just feels cheap to me.

Agreed, and the biggest problem I got with it is how that simply isn't fun.

To be honest it's nothing new though. Before this it was games like Battletoads and Contra that got all the hardcore gamer attention for being super difficult. Games like that have always been notorious for their cheap bullchit. I guess there's just always been a lot of people in the gaming scene who think of hardcore difficulty as the be-all end-all when it comes to gaming. I imagine they're the same type of people who would have been high score chasers back in the 80's. You gotta be the type of person who enjoys grinding away at the same game forever, trying to learn all the patterns and strategies so you can do well.

Personally I just usually get bored or frustrated with games that want me to do that, and move on to something else that isn't so punishing.

FromSoftware are in a league of their own where art direction is concerned.

This is why Street Fighter 2, Alpha and Street Fighter 3 all look better than Street Fighter 4, and 5 for that matter.

Disagree. I think a next generation masterpiece of the decade should have fantastic art style and fantastic graphics for the year it's released. As well as be very well optimized.

And again, I played all the souls games and I'm a huge fan.

Bosses don't have "absurd health" in these games. You don't need perfect dodges either. You just need to keep calm and not crack.

Bosses should be menacing and to be menacing they need to give some challenge. Just rolling over bosses in the first attempt because the game is designed for consoomers to move onto the next product is not it mane.

My god do you have a meltdown every time you encounter a contrary opinion? Go hang out on some circle jerkoff site like reddit if you only want to be exposed to like-minded takes on everything.
