re: Can we be honest about Elden Ring now that the hype is passing? END GAME SPOILERS

I’m not saying the game isn’t good. I’m not even saying it’s not better than almost every other AAA production put out in years. I mean hell the game actually more or less worked perfectly fine on Ps5, even though I understand PC had some initial issues, and I really love their approach taken to things like open world design, quests, minimalistic UI, etc. I’m merely saying the game isn’t a 10/10 masterpiece. With a lot of the innovations and new approaches they put in Elden Ring it does come with some drawbacks. I’ve already explained some of my biggest ones earlier in the thread. Another one I haven’t mentioned yet is how different certain bosses feel in this game where they almost are designed to specifically be taken down with a certain build or using summons. Many also feel like they were straight out of bloodborne put into Dark Souls 4 without giving you the hyper aggressive and fast move set that game had to compensate for the boss speed and aggression. If I had to rate it numerically id give it a 8/10. Everything to the capital 9/10.

There’s also the story to Elden Ring which neither myself or anyone has really addressed in this thread yet. While it is interesting in its own way, I was hoping for something different than what is basically just re skinned dark souls.

No. I beat every boss with a strength build. I haven’t run dex yet but dex/bleed seems op so I don’t think there would be a problem there. Int builds were able to melt every boss with comet azur early after release from what I saw so I doubt that’s a problem either. These games and their bosses are as simple or as complex as you want to make them. If you wanted to run the game with a simple dagger you could do it. Every build is viable.

I mean the game is pretty much an amalgamation of all the best parts of the past 13 years of their catalogue. So it wasn’t really a surprise to me that there was some BB/Lovecraft inspiration thrown in
