The thing is Elden Ring does not suffer from its design. Let's just say that the game is not for you. No matter how high a game rate there will always be people who do ngeot l with a game. After playing and beating the game multiple time it was well worth my money which is all that matters to me. No, the game isn't close to being perfect but does it get a lot of things right which is why it's well loved by a lot of gamers. Elden Ring is a big toolbox for you to play in. Some people like that some do not. Would I like all From software to ma ake all their games like Elden Ring, nope. Even the Dark Souls should stay how they are constructed, and Elden Ring continue to be what it is. |
I disagree, it does suffer from it's design. It is designed as having repetitive catacombs and repetitive caves with repetitive bosses.
And I 'get' the game just fine. From is my 2nd favorite developer and I have beaten every Souls game, including BB, at least half a dozen times. Elden, IMHO, is a good game, but far from great. A major change, again IMHO, that would have made the game better is fewer catacombs but better designed catacombs with original bosses.
And to be clear I liked Elden, 8/10, I just didn't love it. Thus I stand by my opinion. Especially since I enjoy open world games. I thought BotW and Horizon Forbidden West (both) did open world better than Elden.
