I'm dissapointed

[Maxine]

I want to like this game, I really do. But open world formula it's not working well for me. I feel lost all the time and I'm tired of watching FightinCowboy walkthrough just to know what to do.

Watch cowboys part 1-3, unlock a bunch of the map, grab some weapons, then go off on your own.

Maybe that was a hint you don't like open world games. Now you know and can spend your money on games you do like. Not a big deal.

"I'm disappointed."

Truly, the words of our parents inform our own, eh, OP?

stop watchting a walkthrough
ask yourself, "what do i truely want from a video game?"

being lost is also not a bad thing, it usually leads to oneself making a decision where to go next - and finding something on your own should be pretty rewarding

just look around you, do you see something thats looks like its worth investigating?

in this game YOU have to decide what to do next
not used to that? well it gets easier, but you have to start doing that and not watch a guide - because your brain will not reward you appropriately if you follow someone elses decisions

or maybe its just not for, not everybody is the same and has to like the same things

Hey max, the primary antagonist literally and figuratively steals your direction from you. I hope that motivates you to jump in and find them.

it is very easy to just wonder around and do things and discover new caves and dungeons .Not to mention there is a golden line on the map pointing you to your next major objective. If you don't know what to do your not paying attention as a lot of the NPCs tell you where you should go.

You've played and finished dark souls 1 and 3, i dont understand how you have a problem traversing the map in elden ring (unless you watched a guide for those too). Even if you are lost searching up where in the general area to go will lead you to your next destination/boss.

I think you can enjoy the game without bothering about anything. Just go and explore and kill everything you find.

Thats all you need to do.

If you get stuck look for specific guides how to progress or ask here.

Because they are linear games more or less. I was lost maybe once or twice in DS1 and it was with Painted World because of this stupid dragon that block the path and Tomb of the Giants since I didn't had any light.

I don't like wondering around because I found it somewhat boring, since the world is so big and overwhelming I want to have clear path or more indicators of where might be dungeon or anything.

Well then this might be not for you. I love just roaming around and see what i find.

I think they are going to relase a DLC Torrent upgrade. Our dear donkey will get GPS:

If you don't like open worlds then you shouldn't play open worlds. You aren't the first to complain about a DS style game in an open world. It isn't everybody's idea of what they like.

Have you tried Fallout games and Mass Effect games? Fallout is open world and holds your hand more than ER and Mass Effect is linear space FPS. Try that.

Or try Dragons Dogma. Open World but more linear. Fun game really.

It'd be fair to say that the underground sections are designed more similarly to DS1/2/3 than the open world above, due to bottlenecking the player. The feeling of missing a ton of optional and meticulously hidden content is distracting, isn't it? It'd be better if it was tangential to the critical path, and not a 45 minute dungeon crawl to get a crappy ash of war. Some of the design is just lazy, and it rubs off on some people moreso than others.

I have many criticisms many this game, a little hate and a lot of love for the spirit of it. Ambition behind the execution was grandeur.
