I don't think people are very good at identifying reality. Probably from playing too many video games. It's pretty obvious that I'm a gaming god, and yet here we are doubting me.

Yes. I am of the firm belief that any game can be improved by the inclusion of a grappling hook or jetpack.

Ohhh poor little Ceasar came late to the party and wants my love too? You shouldn't be so tsunde and should be kawaii! Like the good game Katamari Damacy. Which I'm probably gonna play instead of Elden Rings next time I play a video game.

Yeah turns out Katamari Damacy is still good. Still kind of poo poo at the controls though. I unlocked Ichigo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZSNHZSHcOc

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

It sounds like Ghosts and Goblins is right up your alley. That game makes Elden Ring look like Putt Putt Travels Through Time.

:hmmyes: kerbal space program comes to mind. there is some good stuff that matches the aesthetic, and then there's a bunch of dumb poo poo

unpopular opinion - my favorite mods are total conversions. Desert Combat for BF1942, Star Wars: Warlords for Homeworld 2, Counterstrike 1.6 and whichever DOTA I played locally with my roommates, etc.

Elden Ring sucks because it's Dark Souls but with a bunch of pointless wandering around empty space instead of interestingly designed levels. Like, you could get through Dark Souls without a guide and still discover a lot of cool poo poo, but in Elden Ring you're not gonna find anything worthwhile unless you look up where everything is scattered in the lovely open world.

You can beat every major boss in an under a 40 hour playthrough. Just clearing the game is like 20 hours. I don't think the intent with the huge world is that you do every bit of content every time.

Yeah honestly I feel like I could do it in 15 now that I know how to play. I'll make one of those broken builds instead of stubbornly womping everything with a two handed sword without using any magic.

Elden Ring is proof that the people complaining about open worlds don't actually play open world games because ER has a terrible open world. One of the worst in recent memory. But you had a bunch of soulsnerds salivating over being able to finally play an open world game that they claimed to hate so much.

"look up" as in open your in-game map because every illustration is something interesting to see

I'm sorry everyone I gave the sad folks who like Dark Souls/Elden Ring yet another opportunity to think they and their opinions are wanted in society. You think they would pick up on the fact they should shutup, but apparently that isn't the case.

Souls games are just rhythm games with obfuscated cues, so in reality they're worse than rhythm games because they make you waste a bunch of time memorizing things before you can play them properly.

Elden Ring side dungeons are cookie cutter shaped and are mostly boring as gently caress and have less creativity in them than Oblivion dungeons

HFW was the better open world game that came out at the same time. It's better in nearly every way, actually.
ER has better combat and combat options.
HFW is better ever other way. Graphics. Sound. Story. World. You name it, it's better. The fans are better, too.
