Elden Ring [OT] Shadow of the Erdtree expansion announced

[Necrokiller]

I've played it, and it's more responsive than Dark Souls 3, and has a jump button too. Nothing like having my own hands-on impressiooons

So when God of War became more responsive on PC, that didn't mean anything. But IF Elden Ring is more responsive, CerebralTiger changes his tune towards games with animation prioooooority. That's one approach

Says a lot when the gold standard to compare to is a 5 year old game that's on the verge of receiving a sequel

I mean, it just says how easy that so-called "standard" was to beat. Just make Dark Souls open world and be done with it

Lest we forget, the "king" already reclaimed its "open world throne" just a year later in 2018 hahahaha

 

[Necrokiller]

Though, it seems like Necrokiller has more fundamental issues with the "tired" Souls formula

Except I never had such deep fundmantal issues that would make me send the Souls series to rot in hell. So, working out pretty well for meeee

 

[CerebralTiger]

Hopes From has moved past the "tired Souls formula", says it was never a deep, fundamental issue. That's an approach

My fundamental issue was with movement feeling sluggish and the lack of a jump button, both of which have been addressed

lmao @ GOW being more responsive on PC. Reducing a few milliseconds doesn't help, especially when animation priooority is firmly in control. Also, Kratos is still gluoooed to the floor

Lest we forget, the "king" already reclaimed its "open world throne" just a year later in 2018 hahahaha

Both open world kings of a different breed. BoTW with its free form open world that evoked a sense of discovery, and RDR2 with its open world simooolation

Hopes From has moved past the "tired Souls formula", says it was never a deep, fundamental issue. That's an approach

I mean, its a huge open world with elements from Sekiro and Darksiders. None of the previous Souls game had that, sooooo

My fundamental issue was with movement feeling sluggish and the lack of a jump button, both of which have been addressed

But but but but....

animation priooority is firmly in control

So what is your basis of calling Elden Ring more responsive than Dark Souls 3? A 30fps version of the latter?

Both open world kings of a different breed.

LMAO...and now comes the excuses and distinctions. Game of multiple Thrones of different breeds

 

[CerebralTiger]

My experience with Quality mode in the PS5 beta is the basis

 

[Necrokiller]

So you measured the input latency in both games? Show us the results

 

[CerebralTiger]

Of course I didn't. That's your job, mechanical keyboard and all

 

[Necrokiller]

It was rhetorical. Never expected you to make an informed opinion.

 

[CerebralTiger]

As the only beta participant on PG, mine is the only informed opinion for now

It just felt better to control to me. Will be experimenting with builds in the final release, which I couldn't really do in the beta

Oh, and the jump button makes a huoooge difference

 

[Necrokiller]

Imagine thinking anyone takes CerebralTiger's opinion seriously

 

[CerebralTiger]

That's rich, coming from a Cyberpunk 2077 stan

 

[Necrokiller]

Said the No Man's Sky and Scam CiTizen stan

 

[Necrokiller]

Speaking of informed opinions, really curious to see the receipts for CerebralTiger beating the Old Monk in OG Demon's Souls

The only pick that matters is Miyazaki's own. And I completely agree, Old Monk is indeed From Soft's greatest boss. Looking forward to facing him in the remake

It says right there in the quote that I'm looking forward to facing him (after Elden Ring now lol)

 

[Necrokiller]

Declaring it From Software's best boss without even playing it. Such informed, much approach.

Also LOL @ not even playing through the Remake

 

[CerebralTiger]

The concept of facing an online opponent in the form of a boss is what I praised, and it's Miyazaki's favorite one as well

 

[Necrokiller]

Miyazaki has only ever made "sluggish mess of a series" or Sekiro though. Nothing your tastes align with

 

[CerebralTiger]

Lest we forget, we're looking for an evolution over the "tired Souls formula"

 

[Necrokiller]

5 Soulbourne games. None of them open world.

We got it yoooo
