Too many copy and pasted bosses

[Runtuss]

I realized that some bosses are copy and pasted all around the elden map, how is this game got such high score and so many positive reviews?

I agree. They went for quantity over quality and reviewers completely ignored it. As a fan of fromsoft games I'd say this game is a solid 7.5/10 not even close to the 10/10 masterpiece some reviews said lol. Sekiro deserves to be called a masterpiece so much more than this game.

Well, I get it. Each has their own thematic and they are supposed to be mini-bosses.
Don't think it's a big deal, but ye, they might have used more un-generic encounters or more modifications to the copy+paste versions.

What would have been cool would have been some bosses having regular back-up dudes or modified movesets if just slightly. So far they went for the "same enemy in green and with a new elemental resistance" thing.
More hand-crafted encounters for these would be nice. But I understand they also had to save time somewhere. The legacy dungeons were nice and clearly got the most effort. A smaller map with more focus on them would have been fine.

i agree with you, testers supposed to test this game before QA decides to release. Now i am not sure if there was any testing at all.

I still get upset thinking about how many times you get to fight the godskin duo

If you think they could develop so many unique bosses without us having to wait 10 years. I have some bridges to sell for oyu guys.

Because you don't need to complete the game to give a score/review, my first impression of this game are 10/10 too but it decreases along the story progresses. And never trust "professional reviewer", they said Total War Warhammer 3 are 5/5 10/10 while in reality majority of players are quitting after horrible launch. But FromSoft has solid fans. All i'm seeing why this game are good according to them, because this game are difficult and different from other games, and that just it

Optional or Minor bosses copy paste maybe i can stand it, but Major Bosses copy-paste are just sad. Godfrey yellow and Real Godfrey, Margit-optional margit, morgit which is margit but now the real one, Mohg the no phase 2 and Mohg who have phase 2, Commander Nial and O Neil, Briar and that bell hunter, astel with different titles, etc

The feelings after beating bosses aren't the same anymore, because you will meet them again in later places of the game

Fanboys on forums, and press being paid for good reviews.
On Steam it's sitting at 87% which isn't that good for a so-called masterpiece.

This game probably has more unique bosses than most other games, so saying quantity over quality makes no sense. There's quantity AND quality. There's also more of an action focus than other open world games, so repeating enemies just makes sense. Where another game would give you 20 mindless fetch quests to fill the map, Elden Ring gives you a unique dungeon with a familiar boss, much more fun than the alternative imo.

I won't defend the copy/paste ganks though.

Who asked for this many bosses? I'll take 30 unique bosses over 100 reskins any day. Also no one asked for this huge ass map that they had to fill with copy paste encounters. A smaller more focused map would have made for a better game
