re: Elden Ring looks phenomenal.

I like that you have to focus on defense/staying alive and just get your licks in when you can.

It's carved out its own niche because of that, and a lot of people love that.

I don't mind doing that at the beginning of a game with low level gear and stats... but once I've put a crapton of hours into farming gear and whatever else there is, I wanna be able to throw caution to the wind and just charge into seemingly impossible odds and see if I can just carve everything up...

From what I've seen of the DS titles, even with the best gear and preparations if you just charge in there's still a lot of baddies that'll one shot you easily.

Seriously, I love watching videos of the DS games. That mystical, evil and dark fantasy medieval stuff is my absolute favorite type of game... but I'm just not patient or masochistic enough for the DS games
