The initial impact was amazing, but how much longevity will it have? Could it replace Skyrim as the "default big fantasy"?

Well skyrim was dogshit and elden ring is slightly more dolled up dogshit, so I'd say it has a good shot.
>am i being contrarian enough yet, guyse? do i fit in yet?
>being contrarian
>to fit in
you're a special kind of retard aren't you
No, absolutely not. Casuals can't flip on Elden Ring and do absolutely nothing for hours the way you can in Skyrim.
touched a nerve did he
I personally view it more as a very long dark souls game than a traditional open world RPG.
Skyrim has a million mods and still gets hundreds every week so I doubt it.
that's because it's all poor third worlders have for entertainment. Why do you think all the content creators for skyrim are russian?
When did it become unacceptable to be a contrarian on Any Forums? Who fucking cares whether it's a good game or not, popular games should not be allowed to have their way, they all deserve to be taken down a peg.
this is your brain on Any Forums
>Could it replace Skyrim as the "default big fantasy"?
Are you high?
Probably not, eldenring does have an easy mode but skyrim is still much more enjoyable to a casual gamer.
>, eldenring does have an easy mode
?
>becoming overpowered in an RPG is an "easy mode"
how dumb are you
Oh nevermind, I was never interested in playing the game so my info is from Any Forums
there's some 12 year old kid in this thread incredibly assblasted right now, keep bumping
please go back
holy shit
Too hard and not much to do to other than roam around and kill monsters.
>Go back
Where, to the game facts board?
>Implying there isn't a plethora of sweaty casuls cheesing the game by following even sweatier tryhard Youtubers
ER casulalised the formula to the bone
It's over
easy mode scales multiplicatively
-Level Vigor
-Use bleed
-Use frost
-Use OP builds/WAs
-Summon
each one is a 2x multiplier and being realistic most people are doing all of the above, making the game actually easier than kirby.
LOOK AT ME FELLERS!! IM NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! YEAH ID ENJOY ELDEN RING IF IT HAD A 60 REVIEW SCORE BUT HO HO NO WAY IM GOING TO ENJOY IT WHEN ITS THIS LIKE BY EVERYONE! I NEED TO STAND OUT FROM MY FELLOW GAMERS TO POSE AS IF IM INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT YOU GET ME?
What exactly is frost? I see everyone talk about it. Is it a talisman or something?
It's gonna be the new Skyrim until the next big open world RPG comes out and everyone starts calling it the new Skyrim
>Dragon Age Inqusition is the new Skyrim!
>Witcher 3 is the new Skyrim!
>Elden Ring is the new Skyrim!
Not really, Skyrim is that way because of mods but ER is still more rigid in what it is. I can't imagine old retired dudes flocking to it like they did with Skyrim for example.
Elden Ring has zero sense of civilization. That alone excludes it from being any kind of "default" fantasy. No one fucking lives in the lands between.
