recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Elden Ring is my favorite game of all time but I can totally agree that if the combat doesn’t vibe with you it doesn’t have a ton else going for it!

I like elden rings combat, just that i like the more intricate game world design of the older souls games, where you feel like you are exploring a real place that was lived in for decades before you arrived.

I so agree with you on that. I didn't put up with Eldin Ring for long, but right out the gate the world felt very fake to me, like it just exists to be a place where enemies to fight are, rather than being anything like a real space. Ditto for the enemies mostly not doing anything but existing and waiting for you to come fight them. Every other open world game ever blows it out of the water in that respect.

Is my impression from what little I played, anyway. Maybe it gets better later?

I didn't even like the color palette or that hideous glowing tree, either. Garish, but not even fun garish, just blargh.

/p.s. thank you beehaw admins for disabling the downvote button, and for everyone actually talking to each other instead of yelling "How dare you not like the thing I like, stupid-head??!!", and thus making everybody in this thread feel safe to share their unpopular opinions.

Ah yeah, that’s fair. I deleted my comment because I misread yours and thought you didn’t like the combat. I miss the intricate, interconnected design of the older Souls games as well. I hope they bring back more of it in the future!
