Why? Its supposed to be a fractured decaying world so it makes no sense for it to look like sunset overdrive lore wise.
I'm pretty sure they have never played a from game. I was mowing down normal monsters with a greatsword in 3 hit also in DS3.
It not at all irrelevant to what you said. Posting a challenge run where someone is handicapping themselves in order to make the game harder has absolutely nothing to do with the general difficulty of the game. The only thing irrelevant to the discussion was you trying to bring challenge runs into it. Nothing about the Elden Ring footage people are seeing would "trick" anyone into thinking the game is easier than it is. These are not expert players with thousands of hours in the game. As another poster already pointed out, it's the complete opposite. These types of videos are a good indicator of the expected challenge. The combat in Souls games isn't mechanically complex, it doesn't require amazing reaction time. It's totally fair for someone to look at pre-release footage to get an idea of how the game play works and how they plan to approach it. Fromsoft isn't shy about what there games are like, they are not trying to convince people the game is easy.
Seriously. It's going overboard. Last I checked, the thread is about Castle Mourne, not graphics.
'sorry guys I'm afraid I can't enjoy it, I'm concerned' top tier reddit level cringe.This hurts to read, mostly because this could easily have been written by me a decade ago. That sort of mindset absolutely ruined gaming for me, and I didn’t even notice it until I was close to quitting.
I'm with you. I expected more than a slightly better looking DS3 that came years ago. And it's not only the stairs... guys, come the fuck on and don't play stupid on purpose.I'm sorry I'm finding it really hard to get excited over something that looks like this...
Like what is this. Everything is so flat and lifeless looking. No shadows. The enemy right there took as much skill to kill as turning a doorknob. I really feel like I'm missing something here. Miyazaki's latest interview stating it's the easiest "souls" game seems to be true since all the videos ive seen show enemies being defested in like three hits. And who knows, I'm not considering From Software's pedigree but damn son, this just does not look impressive at all.
You can always beat it with 0 hits taken or blindfolded to show your dominance over lesser players.I'm sorry I'm finding it really hard to get excited over something that looks like this...

Another level of genericness? Because all i see is just boring grey medieval fantasy with dragons, caves, catacombs, swamps and other usual attributes of the setting, which just migrating from one their game to another, together with animations, assets and overall tech incompetence. So i will say that even in the art department they pretty much stagnate since Demon's Souls with the exception of Bloodborne which is very different and actually top notch artwise.
So guerrilla games are now faking 100% of their gameplay material 3 weeks prior to release because it can't be what you don't want to be. And the people currently reviewing it and the previewers before them are all in on it.
Yep...my thoughts exactly. All the folks lucky enough or who paid scalpers trying to justify their purchase. Its really annoying as I think it looks fine, and i will be able to play it better than any console with a 3000 series graphics card anyway. I am just glad it didn't get scooped up to ps5 only land, as sony doesnt' want to sell me a console.
Well that's not what you wrote at all and you know that very well, but I don't think this would go anywhere anyways.
Sure jan
Keep moving goalposts little troll. You can do that as long as you want on my ignore list.
Those designs could make any fan of dark fantasy stuff cream their pants. Generic my ass.Yeah….nothing to see here just some dragons and guys in armor

It has become a word people love to throw around at things they dont like regardless it would make sense or not.
Where have any of the enemy or NPC designs been generic and shown up 100s of times in other fiction? Not even the Dragons look the same in design. Of course there's going to be iconic architecture that dot the world, be it castles or catacombs, it's a freaking medieval fantasy and I want that. It can't be different for the sake of being different. But they hardly miss the mark in nailing the atmosphere they want to present nor adding their unique flair.
Yeah I agree. For me those games always have the coolest designs, really can't understand how anyone could call this generic.
But remember what this is really about, they make excuse about being "generic" but they really talking about is why graphics is not high tech. I bet you anything if art direction was actually generic but it had high tech graphics they wouldn't complain.
I was thinking about this too. Crazy as I imagine meeting this creature in some sorta cave. Could it be an NPC?
Remember this concept art that leaked in 2020? It was leaked with another concept art of what became known later as General Radahn which we got in trailers.
I have a feeling we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg. CNT being only 13% of the known map so far, with no idea how big the full map is… yea, we eating gooood in 26 days
It is for last gen
They managed quite well from also their last gen output, Dark souls 3 & Sekiro, for an open world game with dynamic weather/day cycle and no load dungeons.
PC/Next gen consoles will get ray tracing eventually.
I’m not sure what peoples are expecting here?
I never remember reading that for Halo Infinite 8 min demo. No matter it was also for last-gen, a move to an open world and day and night cycle
team real from day zero!

Well yeah, but it's all about rolling and slashing at the RIGHT time.
You can reduce any game like that, I mean what exactly you do in a game like Doom other than point and shoot?
Yeah no shit. What do you want to do, invite your enemy to a dance? It's a grounded action melee game: you slash, dodge, guard and parry. This isn't DMC and it doesn't need to be.
How about trying the game?
The guy I was responding to said it was unique, was wondering how. But you guys confirming it isn't really and its kinda repetitive and grindy like a lot other games?
From games have crazy amount of enemy and boss fights with their own unique attack pattern, so if you find it “repetitive” then so is 99% of all games.
