Why is this game considered a masterpiece?

I'm not trolling. I've put in 10 hours into the game so far, and it's been a 7/10 for me and I absolutely hate it. I feel no sense of wonderment or amazing feeling that the journalists have described, so I'm hoping someone can explain to me what is the thing about this game that I'm not seeing, but 12 million customers and hundreds of journos see.

There's no such thing as a game over 7/10.

>why do people like something and that I don't

I don't know, maybe you're just a gigantic faggot.

>absolutely hate it
>7/10

guess i'm not the only one faggot rating average shit as good

Fromsoft is normalfag shit now.
Normalfags considere everything a masterpiece and are unable to criticize.

it was made by fromsoft

>7/10
>I absolute hate it.
So you work for IGN?

I'm not asking about liking it, I'm asking about the quality of the game that makes it a masterpiece.

Just because I hate the game doesn't mean I'm going to throw a wah I hate this 0/10 tantrum. I recognise the good things about the game, but I'm asking what makes people think it's 10/10?

Kek .. retard

Only hardcore souls fans reviewed this game, because the other journalist were getting filtered. That's why the score is so inflated. True story, not even joking.

>but I'm asking what makes people think it's 10/10?
They're fans of the souls genre and this is a capstone for it. If you're not a diehard fan of the genre it's not going to be a 10/10 for you.

Why do people with garbage taste keep making posts? Please stop.

IGN called this game the second coming of Christ, what are you talking about.

You're asking in the worst of places. Go to reddit, watch some youtube videos, form your own opinion.

this basically. it's still pretty great, but it's certainly my least favorite next to ds3, havent finished it yet though. journos are a fucking joke as always.

yeah dude check out all these filtered journalists

Pretty much the only thing Elden Ring did for me was make me excited for how utterly amazing TES6 is going to play and look.

anecdotal, but every single og souls fan i know including myself doesnt really like it all that much compared to older games.

OG Demon's here, and I would put ER on par with the Dark Souls games, since they're shit compared to the non-franchised games, especially BB.

The Lego game ain't out yet bro

What's a 10/10 to you OP?

Been playing since DS1. ER is prob my favourite in the franchise. There are some flaws like repeat bosses but I think the sheer scale and ambition of the world makes up for it.

I have immense respect to FromSoft for mindbreaking contrarians like this. OP is so fucking confused on how he should act toward this game he made a thread trying to deal with his existential crisis.

The PVP is worse than DS2 but the build variety is top tier and the sense of exploration is by far the best.
As much as I love DS1 it's piss easy when I go back to play it again and barely keeps me awake.

Dragons dogma. It does everything ER tries to do but does it better while looking just as good. Interesting quests and characters and it doesn't waste your time riding a horse around a bunch of empty areas.

>it's been a 7/10 for me and I absolutely hate it
I don't care if you're trolling or not, but you sound retarded nonetheless.

>that the journalists have described,
Shitty bait thread. You guys know how to prevent this from getting bumped.

LMAO, you can't be serious. And I say that as a big DD fan.

Nah. There are only a few bosses and they're quickly trivialized. The game is only remotely difficult for half an hour and the sense of exploration is much, much worse. It's also has a fuckton of repeating content for such a tiny game and there are basically zero RPG elements

>explain to me why I don't feel a certain way
What do you want us to tell you

I'm an old Souls fan, but I think ER is massively overrated. However, if I had to guess why people rate it that highly;
Open-world has a lot of side content. Repetitiveness doesn't come in to consideration, because the gameplay is repetitive anyway. If you're adjusted to that, as the average Soulsfan probably is, it's barely an issue. Designs are pretty nice, build variety is good, there's a sense of community so people are discussing a bunch of shit about the game. It's just Dark Souls all over again but on a bigger scale. And from DeS, I thought Dark was being overrated.
Honestly, it's a good game, I just have higher standards for the franchise which haven't been met with Dark or Elden Ring.
