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.

I am loving the game so far.... i think the open world is kinda poointless would much have preferred it to be liks DS and Sekiro but other than that i am having a lot of fun w the game.

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.

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.

The graphics aren't the best but some of the areas look pretty good imo. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. From puts more effort and care into their work than 90% of AAA devs these days. If you don't like their games then don't play them. Simple.

I’m usually a shooter type as well. I was top 100 leaderboards in a shooter game before and I love PUBG. So I’m not speaking from some pov of a fanboy.
This body holding me, be my reminder here that I am not alone.

You'll find that most reviewers of these games are fans of the games. Games media is kind of a joke nowadays in that sense. You give the games to review to the guy/girl on your staff they enjoys those titles. It boosts the score, scores you points with the game devs for those series and ensures you get review copies of the next title. No, I don't think reviewers are paid to give games 10/10, but there's obvious bias in a large portion of reviews, intentionally. Any ******* can review a game, so devs are going to give games to their allies for reviewing, bonuses for dev teams rely on good reviews.

And with who reviews, I don’t think it’s like “your the Mario guy”, “you’re the racing sim guy” “your the souls-like guy”, etc. at least in most cases.
I think there is very large overlap and correlation (on the macro level) where most people generally enjoy the games that get rated well. What I mean by that is I think most people would enjoy Mario odyssey and uncharted and forza horizon 5, even though they are all very different types of games.
Anecdotally, I have never made much progress in souls games, but picked up elden ring on a whim. I can absolutely see why it’s reviewed as well as it has.

The reason is simple, it takes a lot of time to review a game. Like you can't just casually play a game for a few hours, you really need to get into it, understand the game, thoroughly explore the game, and for the most part play through it. Like I usually covered racing games and there is no way they would want me to cover a JRPG because A: I don't have any interest in them and B: I would probably be chitting all over whatever JRPG they would want me to cover, and they don't pay me enough to cover things that I wouldn't want to play in the first place. It's like that with all the contributors, I know a guy like me who focuses on shoot-em-ups and he's the same way, he's even got a youtube channel where he talks about them and plays them.
Even on the big sites, when you check out the critics they usually have a basic bio where they describe the kind of games they like. The kind of person who would review a game like Elden Ring is someone who is typically into From Software titles, because they would obviously be the person to give that to. You want someone who will have the interest and ability to get through the game, especially if you want your review to be out on time and relate to fans. It seems like most gamers just want fan reviews for the most part anyways, when a journalist stands out from the herd they usually get attacked.

The IGN reviewer is definitely their “hard games and souls like” guy.
That being said the game is a solid 9. Git gud pghts
But also just play games you enjoy. It’s ok not to like things.

One guy did elden ring, Mario party, nobody saves the world, king of fighters, ghost of sushi expansion
One guy did destiny witch queen, windjammers 2, dying light 2, sable, Zelda skyward sword, Pokémon crown tundra
One did subbautica, age of empires 4, shin Megami tensei 5
Another forbidden west, cod vanguard, Mario golf, disco Elysium
Or Mario odyssey, halo infinite, the ascent, cod black ops, luigis mansion 3
That’s all a pretty big variety. So I’m definitely not saying you are wrong, but it probably depends on publication by publication. And While I’m sure there is definitely overlap between who reviews something and their personal tastes, I don’t think it’s usually to the extent like in my comment (racer guy, sport guy, Nintendo guy)

Or Mario odyssey, halo infinite, the ascent, cod black ops, luigis mansion 3
That’s all a pretty big variety. So I’m definitely not saying you are wrong, but it probably depends on publication by publication. And While I’m sure there is definitely overlap between who reviews something and their personal tastes, I don’t think it’s usually to the extent like in my comment (racer guy, sport guy, Nintendo guy)

People over estimate the difficulty of games because they're used to playing the high level characters on others for thousands of hours.

Thank you, OP. If I made this thread I'd get negged into oblivion. I don't understand the hype around this game.

not sure they can do good graphics considering the drawdistances of everything
they're clearly going for a feel versus bling
but its pretty bad

Souls fans are always really cultish as well. In my experience the more hardcore the fanbase the more aggressive they are when it comes to feedback. Hardcore gamers think only fans should be allowed to voice an opinion.

And I have found that souls fans are generally pretty helpful and friendly too newbies. And the “muh cult” comment makes no sense when you look how irs selling and been received. A “cult” type game is something like no more heroes.

I don’t have an issue with difficult games.
The way these games go about being “difficult” just looks incredibly dumb.
People are like 50 hours into the game and just beating the first big boss after dying like 276 times. Lmfao at calling that fun.
Just lmfao at playing a game that graphically wouldn’t have impressed anyone in 2012 that looks this god damn boring.

Took a while to click for me but when it did, I got hooked. I agree it's not everyone's cup of tea but I assure you many people actually love the gameplay and aren't just faking it to be part of the cult.
