games

runbacks are sorta a part of souls, while I like the stake system I still enjoy runbacks so idk

You enjoy runbacks

theyre a nice break between hard bosses, and usually the bosses that HAVE runbacks arent actually that difficult

Ideally I’d just choose an option to spawn directly back into the fight

Fallingstar beast surrounded by shrimp in that trap dungeon

youre just throwing yourself at the wall then constantly, and that makes sense for something very very hard or has a slow phase 1

i think the fallingstar beast runback is pretty bad, but i also think thats a bad bossfight in general

The only thing I will concede for elden ring is that a lot of the combat feels how it should

Which is usually good

But I think combat is almost the only thing they do right

Everything else is done in some weird way

i think the horse feels better

than most open world games

Where I don’t see how they could have come to the conclusion

(It’s worse than pokemon lol)

giving the horse a double jump is something all games should do

Pokémon does that!

ok

and?

But also you can fly

And swim

ok... and

Don’t you like how they handle water

In elden ring

I sure think that’s

Cool

i dont really mind it

its an obvious thing isnt it

dont go into the giant pit

It just feels like a lot of options they take are some of the least optimal ways to handle things

youre wearing heavy as fuck armor anyways

how would you even swim

I’m not saying to swim

ah yes, let me swim with my 60kg hammer

Just make it more of a gradient

And just a

I do not mind people thinking BotW is better than elden ring

Oh shit I fell into the dark ocean abyss

idk i dont really see the issue, its an obvious drop off

listen, if botw 2 changes the entire map, adds actual dungeons back and makes it more like the dlc master trials

i will 100% admit

its better than elden ring

If they reuse the map it’s actual trash

currently though, its just the same map with some shit in the sky

^^

My point isn’t necessarily that botw is better

Just that well

like the trailer they showed with link running around

is LITERALLY

just the old map

More polished?

Elden ring isn’t that great

which scares me

And therefore

Mid

see elden ring is like a bethesda game for me

in that

it does a lot right

and has a lot of cool/well done stuff

but its also

super shit

in places

For me it does a lot wrong

see but i also

like

these types of games

you went in negative

You have to enjoy the combat

It doesn’t have the Bethesda charm

And enjoy learning enemy movesets

Bethesdas dog shit has a certain charm

thats not what i meant rusp

i meant as in it has a lot of good stuff and a lot of bad stuff

I think most Bethesda games are dog shit

Bethesda’s shit is inexcusable

But I enjoy them because they are fun to fuck around in

And relaxing

bethesda has some dogshit descisions and mechanics that genuinely just are boring. radiant quests for one, difficulty scaling, unfinished products, nothing is consistent, etc. etc. at least they get basic gameplay loops right

they know how to
