Hunter Myers
>no hand holding
You literally have a glowing light telling you exactly where to go and map is filled with markers
Tyler Jenkins
>subtle story
They half-assed the lore moron
Logan Phillips
It's perfect

sometimes I feel Fromdrones don't actually enjoy their games, they just play them while constantly seething about something or someone else, their entire identity around their games is just a statement towards an external force rather than personal recreation.

Just jumping in the thread to let you know that's not taking back, that's doubling down. It helps to know what phrases mean.

>>no gameplay loop
What? Every single game has a gameplay loop. Elden's is the same as the rest of the Souls games.
>enter new area, explore, fight enemies, grab loot, kill boss, repeat
Jacob Sanders
Bit there is a gameplay loop, it revolves around watching YOU DIED and waiting for the loading screen.
Everything else is just dressing.
Remember, you asked for this.
Sebastian Harris
>map is filled with markers
You literally put them there
Brayden Morgan
I must be playing the game wrong, I don't see that very often.

Seriously, why hasn't any western AAA developer copied the Souls formula yet? It's undeniable how successful it is.

Have you played a Japanese game in the last 20 years? They're just as bad.

>my brother and me are both roughly 50% through the game
>hey user, what do you understand about the lore of the game so far?
>a ring was shattered, demigods warred for the lulz, wizards being wizards, scarlet rot seems like end of the world type shit but people don't seem too bothered by it… what else?
>our pseudo finger maiden fucked off somewhere

Uhhh no they just wanted to make a good game. From gives 0 fucks about any game design conventions and just does what they want which makes Western shit devs seethe
Christopher Rivera
They have, but people quickly realize it's shit gameplay when they don't have the fromsoft logo on them
It's like the Apple of vidya

This list has a lot of errors.
Cleanrot Knights, Crystalins, Crucible Knights, Grave Wardens, Grafted Scions, Black Knife assassins, Omenkillers, Fell Twins, and Spirit Caller Snails are all regular enemies that have a boss encounter or two.
Lion Guardians don't have any boss encounters at all.
Fortissax is unique, but Lansseax is re-used as regular enemies in Crumbling Farum.
Elemer is re-used once as an invader.
Ulcerated Tree Spirt has WAY more than 5 appearances. At least 10+.

It's called a joke fuckhead
