Can we talk about copy pasting bosses?

[Razorhunter]

Ive heard that they even copy pasted bosses straight into the DLC without any change. I think this is totally unacceptable for a game with such a budget...No one seems to ever talk about that.

I talk about it
it sucks
no I don't wanna fight another 10 ulcerated tree spirits
no I don't want to kill the same dragons over and over

We have a total of 42 bosses (both major and field ones), of which only 5 were, quite literally, copy-pasted - Demi-Human Queen, Tree Sentinel, Death Rite Bird, Fallingstar Beast and Lansseax.

Is that such a big deal in your eyes?

Before Elden RIng came out it was pretty obvious from the trailers that it was going to be the crossover episode of all of their games, but yeah at some point it did get really off putting

When you combine everything pulled from the previous games, be it level design from Demon's, enemies copy-pasted from Dark Souls 3 or even a weapon from Bloodborne and spells from Dark Souls 2 you stop pointing the screen with your finger and a happy smile, and instead go "oh, really?"

Ulcerated Tree Spirit is fun?

There are also 4 ulcerated tree sprits, 1 magma wyrm, plus a bunch of dragons.

Also the hippo boss gets recycled 4 times as a weaker overworld enemy. And the Dancing Lion boss has an EX version with death blight and basilisk adds.

Inevitable in an open world game though.

this one really killed the mood for me, I thought Fromsoft games were free from giving adds to bosses, since they are generally really good at making great bossfights
but here we are

Greetings, OP.

Sorry my good man, not interested after two years discussing the same.

Heeeerm.....you heard? Awesome source....ok let me tell you about the reused bosses (insignificant spoilers). Two Erdtree sentinels, one gravity beast and ulcerated tree spirits (re-skinned), except the ulcerated tree spirit you can find all the others in the same area, even actually make sense they are there......except the gravity beast who invited the gravity beast to the party?.

Goodbye, OP.

Post scriptum: Feel free to include the "living" dragons and one ancient dragon here.....but telling me they are reused is like complaining about boars and fireflies "ReUsEd".

And then people would complain even more about the game being "empty".

At least it's not like Zelda where there's only 5 overworld bosses copypasted 30 times each.
