Elden ring repetitive.

[SiX_SH0TS]

Just beat elden ring again on my 5th character and it has gotten extremely repetitive. Was thinking about trying dark souls 3 but $60 is a lot is it worth it in 2024? Also in terms of difficulty is it easier or harder/easier than elden ring?

[AlternateEnding]

me when i play the same game 5 times and start to get bored of it

Difficulty would be subjective due to the fact that by this stage you probably forgot how much you struggled in elden ring on first playthrough which is really what you want to compare it with.
One thing for sure is dark souls 3 stamina regen is stupidly fast so its not as problematic as it can be in elden ring.

It'll eventually go on sale. It always does.

I bought DS3 + all DLC for like $40 some years ago. Definitely worth it. Probably worth it at $60 for most people too.

Since you've beaten ER a few times, you'll probably find DS3 to be easier in most respects. The only issue I ever have with DS3 is getting reacquainted with the controls. (lack of real jump and the interact button being different)

The last bit also messes with me whenever I switch to Ds1-3. Plus two-handing weapons immediately after a single input, instead of two.

And vice-versa when I jump up and down trying to talk to NPCs when I go back to Elden Ring.

I'm sure it will go on sale either for the Thanksgiving sale or Christmas sale or both. I think DS3 is easier, if for no other reason than it's about half the size of ER. Still a big game though, it just doesn't have 40 km of nothingness between zones.

[Senki]

DS3 is definitely still worth playing. The content is still great and the gameplay is just like ER but slightly less polished and with no jump button.

As for difficulty it depends on how you played ER really , it could be either harder or easier. The bosses are much easier to dodge so it should be easier for people that didn't use summons in ER.

Also, if the game starts getting boring, try playing at lower level. It's like a playing whole new game, where you have to deal with an enemy's / bosses' complete move set in stead of just tanking / staying at range.

DS3 can be harder if you are used to using ashes. I found Elden ring's bosses a bit more challenging (solo). However DS3 has some pretty good ones, too Nameless, Midir, Gael.

Like Bob said, buy on sale.

Friede, Pontiff Sullyvan, and the The Nameless King all make the game worthwhile.

I will die on a hill saying Midir is the worst boss in the series.

the whole series? I feel like he's more exciting to fight than at least half of ds2's bosses

But I do think he's the worst boss of DS3. Big enemies just isn't fromsoftware's strong suit, they're really cool but not that fun to fight usually.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of how long it takes for him to land for me to run in and beat him down. In DS2, the two kitty cats in the snow murder reindeer area is a definite close second.

The worst boss in the game is the fire giant, that fight is so unfun, words cannot express how poorly designed that fight is. Also, Astel is another garbage fight. The best boss fight is definitely Maliketh

You should play DS1.

[SnakeshyperTTV/Kick]

Play the whole souls trilogy including demon souls, bloodborne, and sekiro.
