"Bad replay value" is your fault.
There are more than enough Golden Seeds, and you only need about 13 Scadutree fragments to have virtually max efficiency.

You don't need to find every item.
You don't need a max weapon.
You don't need to finish every questline.
You don't need to kill every mob.
You don't need to kill any side bosses.

Stop "mowing the lawn."
Stop "hugging the wall."

And if you just can't seem to stop, even when you feel its to your detriment, stop playing and SEEK. HELP.

wanting to complete a game properly is a pretty normal thing, but a game that lets you do everything in a single run does not have replay value, that isn't necessarily a bad thing but it is on the game's end.
the bosses in elden ring do not change no matter what ng you are on, that means they have no replay value because it will be the exact same every time you fight them

I can see what you mean, but I think that you and many people take for granted one of the biggest, if not THE biggest benefits of an open world:

Having the choice to NOT go somewhere.

And if you want to, you can go there on your next playthrough, possibly ignoring other side content you already did in favor of seeking the stuff you passed by before.

I disagree that it is normal to do it all in one go. You don't do anything else like that in real life, and if you did people would surely notice how abnormal it is.

Thanks for idiotic post of the day. Those are exactly the goals I set. In fact, I eliminated every boss before lvl 130 so I could pursue them unhindered. By the time I gathered everything I could find I was over 200. Who are you to dictate how others play? You’re the one that needs help. Btw, I don’t play NG+ for the simple reason I can’t be bothered going through the same quest line. When developers make an effort to add dynamic quests and locations I probably will but that’s not likely to happen anytime soon. Not that they can’t, but they are unwilling because they don’t have to as long as people are defending NG+ as is.

Learn how to read. This post is directed at people who play like that yet complain about burnout.

All the "yOu oNLy nEd 12 fRagMeNTs" is exactly the reason why yall cant get through easiest enemies in the game, its like weapon upgrades, yeah someone can beat the game with +0 weapon, but its not you, so go explore the game and stop whining.

Nice rebuttal (that's sarcasm. just wanted to let you know because i know your brain is structured in a way where you have trouble identifying it, among other social cues)

No, OP this is a poor attempt of sarcasm. You actually attempted to offend me and sadly you dont meet the "requirements" for it.

Now.....What about instead trying to reach beyond your station just go and tell us the real "purpose" of this thread? Do you need help with anything Elden Ring related or just awards?.

Whatever you do have a superb day, my good man!.

All you need is to read the thread to understand it. Funny you even need me to explain that to you.

Funny, but not surprising.

No, OP.

This is constructive criticism, this thread is terrible in every sense,dude.
As some legend posted above you just started a discussion with some void unseen entity and there are 0 valid points.

To make it even worse you are being openly insolent and disrespectful (well....trying).

I want my time reading this thread and interacting with you back, OP. But i think i graced you enough with my attention and im officially done with the thread. I dont think i can provide useful or AWESOME forum content by interacting with it or you.

Now please, promise me you are going to have a superb day!

Trash post. the "yOu dOn'T hAvE tO dIsCoVeR eVeRyThInG" is meaningless in a game world where More exploring = more power.

The average player wants to explore most the game world, if not check items off a spreadheet in a methodical way.

The average player also doesn't want to make 50 cosplay builds, so it's fine for most people to do one massive run, and call it a day.

The historical (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) Fromsoftware questline design pattern also encourages FOMO, so many people are incentivized to follow a guide

You must discover every item, landmark, quest, and upgrade everything, every single play through, or you are bad.

Not every thread is directed at everyone. If you feel nothing about the argument I presented, you're not the one I was talking to in the original post.

Not everything is about you, and you've got a major ego problem. I hope that you grow as a person. As much as someone like you can, I mean.
