This game feels quite dated

[Gonsnakex]

Coming from Elden Ring the game feels super dated, its a shame that they didnt make a remake instead

[raliso]

people called dark souls dated day one of its release. That is the point. Dark Souls revived a bunch of, at the time, dated game making concepts and made them shine and, in the end, happened to became a success and did revolutionize the industry although it went against basically every single trend of its era

It's funny you should say that OP, because as someone who's been playing since this game, Elden Ring felt like an 11 year old game on release to me

[Flytrap]

Why'd it be dated? The combat system is completely different. Of course it feels dated if you're playing it wrong

[ULTRA]

ohhh wow you can jump upward in Elden Ring it's so modern

It's your fault my guy. Jumping straight to a newer soulsborne game. If you had played them with order at least you could have appreciate more newer installments. Coming here and having complaints it's just not valid. No one is gonna take you seriously.

What is required toll to pass through the gates?

I kinda prefer this one. But I am come from the time when it was still new.

I think this one is still better than its sequels. Pretty excited to a moonlight greatsword build this week like I am planning.

Having played Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1, and Dark Souls 3 through full completions, DS1 is by far the most iconic.

Is it perfect? Hell no. It was their second attempt at something in the IP, first attempt at making it an interconnected world, and as is well known, suffered from rushed development near the end of it's development cycle. They still had lessons to learn. Still do have lessons to learn, even with Elden Ring. But it is where the identity of the souls games really started to lock in. I far prefer DS3 over it. But I damn well acknowledge that if DS1 hadn't done as well as it did, there never would have been a DS3.

I do hope I get a chance at some point to play Elden Ring properly, although considering how enemies completely turn invisible in my play of it because it doesn't like my computer, I'll either have to get insanely godlike at souls games as to basically play blindfolded on what is a first playthrough, or get a new computer, it may be some time before I properly experience Elden Ring.

Elden ring wouldn't exist without Dark souls and Demons. I really can't stand newer type of players coming to the series and except the older titles to be more than they already are. It's stupid rly.

I guess you must have hit your head and gotten amnesia or worse then because the reality is that Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring are 90% the exact same game. If anything they should remake Elden Ring to not be the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game all over again.

This is why you play them in order, if you're new to the game. This way you get the whole experience and you can see the improvements / things they added over the years. Your approach automatically kills the old games (for people like you) :D unlucky.

Game is perfect as it is <3

[Zanezy]

Elden ring wouldn't exist if the og game never took off. You should be more grateful bud

I fired this up for the first time last night after having played through Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Dark Souls 3, and Dark Souls 2...in that order (I know, I know).

I am actually blown away with how good it is. Sure, it feels a bit dated, but that was expected.

At any rate, I'm already hooked and can't wait to see it through like I did with all of its successors, and it's fascinating to see how well it stands up today...the OG that it truly is.
