recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

    I was also gonna say Elden Ring, have you played other souls games?. The combat in elden ring felt pretty decent compared to other souls games, very fast paced and actually alot smoother than any other because of the jumping mechanics. I love the dark souls games but elden ring killed itself for me with its open world, just didn’t feel fun exploring, and the only places that i enjoyed going through were the few legacy dungeons that were designed like the older games. Repeated bosses, useless gathering and crafting skills, the regular dungeons had the same 4 designs and were too short to be fun and too repetitive in design. Oh and i forgot the quests, screw elden rings questlines tbh they suck, too cryptic in an open world with no guidance

    Alot of people really like this game and i dont get it.

      Yep! Played 2 of the dark souls games. I kinda enjoyed them but I didn’t finish either. Still felt better than Elden Ring somehow.

      Also when I played elden ring the mapping was all controller based and I was playing on pc. That was weird. Had to dig through the Internet to find how to change it to KB/Mouse mapping.

      For a game of that price I’d expect it to:

      1. Being default on KB/M for PC users. That’s usually the case for so games anyway.
      2. Having that sort of plug and play that detects whatever you’re using. Controller input? Alright, controller mappings show on screen. Oh, you pressed a keyboard key? Okay, KB/M mappings then.

        No wonder you don’t like the feel of the combat. It’s just not something that really works without a controller, nothing you can really do about it, besides using a controller.

          That could be it. I do have a controller I should give that a go… I usually prefer to play these harder games with kb/m though.

            Sometimes specific input method simply work better, there’s a reason most shooters on consoles have heaps of aim assist, those are inherently easier to play with a mouse, and those souls games with a controller.
