re: Elden Ring or Horizon: Forbidden West? Which one should I get?

I’m actually finding it a little too easy so far.

I’m not having tons of problems like I anticipated. I’m still dying a decent amount lol. I’m so glad they did sprinkle in the mechanics of sekiro. The more I play the more I’m liking this game.

I got Elden Ring, but I also thought Bloodborne was one of the best PS4 games of all time, so my decision was probably biased.

I did a replay of BB in anticipation of ER and it definitely made me develop some bad habits. Definitely punishing if you're too aggressive.

Now that I understand that you wanted everyone to not only explain to you what each game offered, but intuit the types of games you enjoyed, I’m perfectly clear that this thread is useless.

Man, I apologize for being old and not realizing that Elden Ring was so superior that you took it personal. But to say that the thread was useless is a vast reach. You may have found it useless and, again, I apologize for putting my gun to your head to make you respond. However, at least one other person had the same question, so you are being a bit snobbish right now. Maybe just stay out of threads that are beneath you.

dudes being a dick, dont worry about him.

Have you played any other games from elden ring developers? Dark souls, blood borne, etc? they have very little in the way of instruction. they are by design, somewhat obtuse and throw you to the wolves. that boss fights (and even non-boss) are challenging and often take repeated deaths to master. Story is almost non-existent in most of their games and mostly has to be pieced together by the player by finding nuggets of info scattered around.

Horizon is much more story driven and has a set tale to tell you. I find the combat enjoyable and if you put it on harder difficulty you probably aren't going to cake walk through it. its your typical open world game where there a ton of markers and stuff to explore. not quite as bad as farcry and AC though. If you played the first one, its alot more of the same but refined.

im play horizon and loving it. Elden ring looks great but i haven't liked any of their games yet. bloodborne was meh for me despite having very high praise in general. just not what im looking for in my gametime.

hope that helps.

Dude’s tired of people treating forums like Google. He gave us zero information about the types of games he likes, and did what appears to be zero research into the games in question. Most of this thread is just people talking amongst themselves about ER. Nearly everyone trying to directly address OP has either had to shoot into the dark, or overtly asked for more information. Both of which were because the OP was super low effort.

Was I more of a dick in my second post than I should have been? Yeah, probably. But I still think OP is being a jackass for making people play 20 questions with him.

The point is that you posted two sentences, which meant he had to post multiple paragraphs. Had you posted multiple paragraphs, he would have only needed to post a couple of sentences. It was the entitlement I was objecting to.

But at this point, I’ve certainly spent enough time belaboring the issue. Enjoy your game.

If you don't have anything good to say....

What's wrong with being helpful? Like he said, don't respond if you feel it's a useless thread.

Also, the board and it's contained threads are not here to serve you, nor does it have to cater to your preferences. He asked a simple question. Yes, Google or YouTube likely could have answered his question. However, a forum is comprised of people he can get opinions and feedback from, some who's opinions he may happen to value for all we know - it's a bit different than reading a game review from some random person.

---

He didn’t ask a simple question. If he did, this thread wouldn’t be filled with people asking him questions in return, or giving prefaced answers. And if you go back to my very first reply, I gave a simple answer to his over broad question. He said that my simple answer wasn’t clear enough for him. It wasn’t until afterwards that I realized just how much of a fishing expedition was being expected.

Holy shite, you are pretentious aren't you.

OP, it depends on what kind of game you like

If your playing on PC I would wait for Elden Ring.

Where is the question here, other than Did I like HZD, but then he answered anyway.

I did not. I stated my intention.

Again, if you are too busy or don't want to help my "fishing expedition", then don't. Help me or don't. I won't lose sleep over it. If you have a problem with my thread, request admin and let them handle it. For fricks sake, you don't own this message board nor, to my knowledge, are an admin on this board.
