Elden Ring's problem in not that " you don't get it". It FAILS AS A VIDEOGAME.

[Zarod]

From design, to technical, even cultural and artistical.
This game is bad. a 2/10 if you want to be generous.

Truth remains truth regardless of how many people say otherwise.
This is not an opinion either.

There are developers out there working day and night, and Miazaki can wake up, say to other people to make an impossible boss, write 10 lines of his fanfiction, scatter it in a map at random, and having people call it a masterpiece.

You think you " won ", because after all the game is " successful " and that is the only thing that matters ...

But, at what cost? The cost, you will soon find out.

The cost is dealing with troglodytes looking for attention on a video game forum.

ChatGPT, write an inflammatory forum posts about how your favorite band sucks, and make it sound like an edgy 9 year old.

Loool I guess you just died 30 times to one same boss... I feel you, there are some enemies with truly horrendous patterns. In my case while I can beat Malenia without too much trouble, other creatures and bosses drive me completely nuts, such as the Leonine misbegotten that still takes me 20 tries on my XXe character, gargoyle duo, dragons, anything in Farum Azula, and some bosses and enemies in the DLC as well.

But even though there is definitively some bad design out there, we all still push through because the game is definitively not a 2/10 on many aspects. (art, quality and quantity of content, actual very good boss battles, ...)

I am not looking for attention, expecially yours which is worthless to me as it is to anyone.

I just wanted to enjoy the game.
That I paid for.
That i worked for.
Farmed for.

432 hours of playtime suggests otherwise to me.

Art doesn't exist on its own. It needs to be compared to how much energy ( GPU power ) is used to achieve said result.

This game has no reason running this slow, thus even the art suffers, as you either experience a choppy mess, or a low resolution one.

I have not experienced a choppy mess, or a low resolution on. Could be a you thing.

I get what you're saying through and through and while I love this game it definitely has it flaws. Many flaws. But while it has it's flaws, the combat fluidity, and customization is by itself enough to make any game stand out from the rest. There was a game years ago that was overall ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but it's one redeeming factor was the full destructible environments that were way ahead of its time (Red Faction Guerilla) and for that it was one of the best games I've ever played. While Elden Ring I find has MANY flaws related to multiplayer modes, the combat is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good and intricate that it's flaws are null and void because there is not ONE other game that comes even close.

And I forgot to mention the DLC is very fun, yet the most fun I've had so far was not the bosses, but exploring the new areas which were dissapointingly small and felt very empty like cerulean coast. It felt like an unfinished expansion that they spent the whole two years focusing on making harder and harder bosses, while neglecting everything else but the new items, weapons, armor etc.

Nobody cares about your opinion Zarod. You wipe your *** the same way as we do, you put on your pants the same way as we do. Your opinion and you are nothing special.

Do yourselves a favor people, read his past comments and his reviews. After that, if you still decide to give it attention, that's on you. As for me, the troll is going back in his box.
