9 unique bosses...

[qwertyuiop]

Renalla, Radahn, Rykard, Dragonlord, Malenia, Maliketh, Radagon, Elden Beast

Every other souls game has had at least what, 15-20? Why did Fromsoft do this?

[<:)]

This is so braindead. It makes no sense not to count 1 instance of duplicate bosses. Even if watchdog is used like 5 times, it is still 1 unique boss.

Define unique

you write only 8 (technically 7), claim it is 9 and in reality it is much more

Even counting "main/major" bosses, you missed: Godrick, Fire Giant, Godfrey, Morgott, Mohg, Dragonlord Placidusax, Astel, Regal Ancestor Spirit, and a few others.

That's not even counting all of the unique mini-bosses in the game, though many do have repeats - you're left with countless examples of enemies like the Ulcerated Tree Spirits, Crucible Knights, Leonine Misbegotten, Death Rite Birds, Godskin, Dragonkin Soldiers, regular Dragons, some other dragons that you fight multiple times (lightning theme), Loretta, Gargoyles, and countless NPC invaders and other types of enemies.

So honestly, you're flat-out wrong here. If you're going to make a bait thread, at least try to be slightly more accurate with your counting.

Morgott? Mogh?

Even Godrick, could also add the NPC bosses.

wheres Mohg, lord of blood and Astel, naturalborn of the void?
and that are only 2 which you forgot. you clearly havent done questlines. mohg is even a great rune aka Miquella ... but ohwell. you really know this game #irony
lol
edit, someone just posted thecomplete list xD

[Jester]

The main boss line up is pretty solid and that's not counting the side bosses whether you agree on duplicates or not.
Same for Legacy dungeons.
The main dungeons including the semi legacy ones are also pretty great. The best exploration has ever been in the Souls games.

Came in to say this lol..tried to count 72 things and only got 9

[weiss]

well, that was a fail from OP. i hope he puts shame over himself or atleast tries to play this game and not rushing through it.

[Sgt. Flaw]

Guys played and reviewed a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of Yakuza games...surely he has no problem with repetition. Plus over 200 hours in ER..he's not all that put together lol

I mean, the sentiment seem to be, that the game gives an impression of continuedly recycling enemies, dungeon layouts and so on all the time.
So what we have here is the objective quantified data of how many "unique" appearances actually happen and the subjective qualitative feeling and impression the game gives by constantly reusing them.
If the former, then there might be quite many, if the latter, then the game all the time seems to stretch content artificially.
How often do you fight the first 2 bosses? 3 times? 4 times? How often do you fight the Duelant? 12 times? Like 6 times in a dungeon and 6 times open field?
How often do you fight Astel? 3 times?
How often do you fight a troll or golem as a boss? Godskin Apostel? Tree Spirit?
6 Times each?

See, yeah each of those is a unique enemy, but its not a unique boss encounter, because unique would mean it happens once. But all of those are fought sometimes a dozen times.
Thats not unique, thats excessive.
All in all there are only like half a dozen bosses in the game that are not constantly reused and recycled.

No matter how we count it, i have played the game a lot, but its much worse quality-wise than the Souls Games, because of the constant reusage of enemies with slightly adjusted color patterns.
And the second problem that comes with it, is the question whether they are actually fun.
In my opinion only the major boss fights are actually fun. Malenia, Godfrey, Morgott etc are fun.
Tough, but fun.
None of those sidebosses are actually fun to fight. Often too weak, sometimes absolutely annoying.
But fun? Nah.

However, no matter my opinion on the fun they provide:
Elden RIng might have quantity, but not quality.


Even if you have 10 dragons with a different name, they all play out the same way only with different colour patterns.
One dragon shoots a blue flame, the next a red one.
Just because it has a different name applied, doesnt make it unique.
The Magma Wyrm in the Snowfields isnt different to the one in the Gael Tunnel or Mt Gelmir.

>purposefully leaves out many bosses
>doesn't even bother to reply to people
>why would fromsoft do this, fake outrage

Safe to say this is a troll post.

You realize that subjectivity cant be wrong, right?
Go troll somewhere else. I even pointed out how your list overlooks the blatant fact that most of your "Unique bosses" are the exact same with a different name applied.

subjectivity is nice thing..
but subjectivity != lies
as you can see, there is factually more unique bosses..
you tried, you fail, you tried lie again, you fail even worse

be honest, apoloigize yourself for your lies and pathetic try to excuse it by "sUbJeCtIvItY"

Google subjectivity please, and google the difference between qualitative and quantitative data.
First learn, then talk.

Also i dont know why i would apologize for someone elses mistakes.

And as pointed out, "unique" is a matter to be defined. Agheel and Borealis for example are the exact same enemies with different colours.
Cool, 2/3 of the dragons are only different by their skincolour.
Thats what "recycled" means.
