First we entered the honeymoon phase, now we're in the contrarian phase. We just need to wait a year or two until people can actually talk about this game without sounding deranged.

I've been saying this game is the second worst Soulslike From made from the beginning, though. The open world just harms it too much.

The fact that you receive a dopamine rush from shitting on a video game is pathetic.

take your meds

72 hours in and I haven't beaten it yet. Level 71 and I just got to the area where that woman leaves you. This morning I killed the woman that lets you respec and now I'm exploring those swamps. Still so much to do, I've barely been underground. This game really raises the bar for me.

This. It's still an enjoyable game because the legacy dungeons are good, but the open world parts are so fucking bad.

just going through caelid and it's the peak fromsoft experience
a lot of the criticism seen on here is warranted but as always tends to be overblown

>First we entered the honeymoon phase
was that when the gave was utterly broken on every platform the whole first week?

>5.9% have beaten the Elden Beast

Nobody has even finished the game yet

I actually like the way legacy dungeons can have multiple entrances due to the nature of the open world. Although the actual gameplay in the open world is dull and the vast majority of the mini-dungeons are skyrim-tier.

Demon's Souls > Dark Souls > Elden Ring > Bloodborne > Dark Souls III > Dark Souls II

It's the third best, not second worst.

These dumbfucks will never stop being deranged about the game until the next From game comes out.

Sekiro > Dark Souls > Bloodborne > Demon Souls > Dark Souls III > Elden Ring > Dark Souls II

Bloodborne > Dark souls 1 > Sekiro >>>> Elden Ring > Demons souls > Dark souls 2 > Dark souls 3

Sekiro isn't a Soulsborne game

>Bloodborne better than Elden Ring
>Dark Souls III better than Elden Ring
>Demon's Souls that low
kek

>randomly forcing Sekiro into the runnings when it's obviously not the same kind of game
Why are Sekirofags like this?

hot take INCOMING
elden ring is above average and that's ok

A lot of people are hostile to the game because paid shills and obnoxious fanboys massively exaggerated the merits of the game and attempted to shut down any criticism, it's not really surprising.

not surprised that the terminally seething, bitter faggots who populate this board are trashing this game

not surprised at all

just wait until you realize it's all the same shit everywhere you go. same locations, same shitty loot, same boss encounters over and over again. felt the same way until I finished limgrave, liurnia and calied. after that I just rushed to the end game. still took me 120 hours to complete

Bloodborne > Demon’s Souls > shit > the rest

there's way more dumbasses crying about the game than people acting as if it's amazing

elden ring is return to the form. the kusoge fromsoft is back making trash that i love

>paid shills
Are these paid shills in the room with you right now?

So it doesn't need to be good?

yes. i wish they took it even further and made king's field 5 with forced legacy controls just to take a giant shit on soulsfaggots

Disagree, most of the criticism I have seen is fairly reasonable stuff like the open world harmed the game or that the boss design is bad, while on the other hand I am seeing fans immediately calling people shit at the game if they criticize *anything*, calling it a 10/10 etc which is obviously ridiculous. There has been a lot that seems like bots/marketers where people are saying what are clearly marketing lines but a lot of them seem to be real people as well which is worse.

>reasonable stuff like the open world harmed the game
No one who has said this has justified the complaint though. They point to stuff like the reused bosses, even though that's an issue with scale rather than the open world.

Excuse me I have loser.

Only newfags suggest you don't get paid shills on Any Forums. There have been several blatant attempts, the most obvious was probably Borderlands 1 and no one is going to argue there wasn't a paid campaign for that. It's very common for AAA titles to do this across all sites like this. It happens with almost every major release.

Paid shills exist but the way people instantly resort to screaming about them when a game they don't like is praised is pretty pathetic.

I want you to imagine Dark Souls. It's already open world, only a handful of locations are blocked behind any kind of progression, you can practically beat the game backwards if you start with the master key. Now take that, and add open fields with the occasional enemy and copy pasted chalice dungeon in between all the actual well designed locations in the game. What exactly does open world add, other than the appearance of scale and an opportunity to place low effort content?
