Ghost of Tsushima has probably handled it the best in terms of sprinkling lots of little things across the map but then rather than drown you with UI elements the game just injects all that into the world atmosphere itself. You may be following the wind to your objective when a golden bird might cross your path, indicating a point of interest nearby. Or find a fox den to lead you to a shrine. In the distance, you may seen pillars of smoke coming from areas where a quest begins. All of this is shown explicitly on the map should you choose to open it but the game also lets you just embrace the world and have it guide you naturally

Nuns with Guns posted:I could take or leave crafting, but making sleep arrows to sneak up and backstab things sounds delightful and I'll probably be testing those on everything to see what conks out or not. An open world that optionally gives you a glowing indicator you can plant in the distance as a waypoint, and where the occasional save point creates a moving light you can opt to follow if you get lost and want to find your way to the next Legacy Dungeon, sounds substantially less intrusive and obnoxious than the average Ubisoft collect-a-thon with 10 million objective markers. I wonder if those work on other players? Probably not, right?

My guess would be either "no" or "it gradually builds a meter like prior games did with bleed or poison and you'd have to be pretty dumb to let it fill up." It might depend on how invasions ultimately end up working in this though. Cowcaster posted:yeah legit the only thing that makes me nervous from the video is the inclusion of "crafting" but from the brief glimpse we got it looks like it's just for ammo + healing + consumables which i can deal with I'll be a bit annoyed if I have to hit up an iron ore deposit regularly to obtain materials to repair weapons or something, but yeah nothing fills me with dread right now. It sounds like it's all optional utility gear from what we've been shown.

It's honestly pretty similar to how points of interest have worked in the other FromSoft games (when they aren't covered in crude player graffiti to act as a neon sign to something interesting.)

One issue with the soulslike series is that it doesn't encourage experimentation with weapons, upgrade materials are often too sparse, and it's easy to fall into a rut. BOTW's rules enforce constantly using and abusing your arsenal. It's not "fair" but it's deliberate.

I've always regarded the Souls series as a Zelda game for adults without the puzzles, the combat gives me underlying OoT vibes every time. I think it's a good thing.

Souls games only have so much in common with Zelda, but the exact same part of me that enjoys Zelda enjoys Souls, so it's always felt like an extension of it in some way.

I'll take a OoT-style unrealistically cramped "open" world over slowly plodding for an hour of nothing because the devs wanted to tout a bigger landmass. That's the same thing that turned me on about Dark Souls 1's design, even if it was ultimately flawed and probably had a ton of cut content. I'm mean I'll still 100% Dark Skyrim, but it'll be a lot more fun if the rides are brief and/or full of things to do.

if you look at the actual world map, it looks a bit more constrained & directed than just the wide open plains of most open world games

People get all up in arms when The Division is filled with bullet sponge bosses but you’re all ok with a guy on a horse who tanks like 5 different spells followed by a literal blast of blue plasma beam? Lol ok.

I would like to play this video game. Mailer posted:I have opinions about BotW but I get the sentiment. I'm down with literally 100% of what was in that video. If the open areas are kind of meh and just traversal then that's a wasted opportunity but I won't be care when I'm jumping on rooftops or three levels down in a crypt. I think Breath of the Wild stinks so FromSoft's Breath of the Wild means "the good version" when I read it.

The 3D Zeldas inspired Demon's Souls, the Souls series inspired Breath of the Wild, which in turn is inspiring Elden Ring. Devs don't have the same rivalries as the fans.

Been really impressed with the outfits they’ve shown off so far. I hope this game doesn’t end up like DS3 where most of the outfits are loving ugly and/or can only be found in the back half of the game but also only if you fulfill xyz condition that isn’t mentioned anywhere in the game. gently caress that, give me some clothes you assholes.

I can kinda see traces of BotW in how the exploration seems to be more player-driven than driven by the UI or markers, and the presence of bite-sized challenges in the world and sweeping weather effects that alter gameplay and potentially pose a challenge.

Loved the trailer, can't wait to play. Open world DS sounds (and now, looks) amazing. I don't pre-order often, but this is one of them. As a nurse, having a character named after the black coffee-grounds feces of a person with a GI bleed is funny. Don't image search "melena".

They've shown these player characters before. The long-haired knight, the short-haired fella in the robes with two swords. I wonder if they're actually different people or just two created characters.

Curved Greatswords are always going to be great because they have greatsword speed and damage but retain hyper armor when one handed.

Good (????) thing that her name is just Melina, so Google Image Searching will probably net you weird fetish porn of her instead. Ashrik posted:They've shown these player characters before.

Judging by previous games, they're almost assuredly just builds they have prepared for showcases.
