Ok, I'll try an explanation now, although my English is really very modest....

I understand what you mean, but I personally just put other things in the foreground or have different views on what is good and what is bad in a game.

First and foremost for me is always the gameplay combined with the highest possible difficulty, discovering new things, a varied enemy design and the atmosphere.
The graphics play a subordinate role.

And just the fact that Elden Ring doesn't take you by the hand and leaves a lot in the dark is a positive challenge for me and makes it more appealing than games that tell you everything. I want to unravel things myself and not have the game unravel them. I just need that challenge.

All of that makes Elden Ring unique to me and not so ordinary.
There are just a lot of other game series that are similar to Horizon. For me, those games are too casual and that's why I lose interest very often and very quickly. Assasins Creed, for example, is also one of those kinds of games.

So I think we have different preferences, but I think there are still a lot of gamers like me.

I am sorry if I have expressed myself badly in some places.


Agreed personaly i always skip stories on games
I played dying light 2 but gave up on following the story after a few hours...

So the fact that theres no story in elden ring doesnt change my opinion of the game

What i like is trying new build trying new paths so elden ring sound perfect for that

Absolutely right, I forgot to mention that. That is also a very important point. :thumbsup:

FWIW it's not a lack of story. Souls games are fairly rich with lore but the elegance comes from not shoving it down your throat.

Most games are like that a toddler who must tell you this story because they're so proud of it. From software offers you the choice, there are breadcrumbs of lore throughout the game, engage with them if you're interested or ignore them entirely. The whole game is centred on the people playing it

This. I have Plat trophied every Souls game and the remakes, played hundreds of hours, and still don't know 90% of the story/lore and it is 100% my favorite list of games.

Forcing you to scour through the descriptions of every item in the game for scraps of a story is not ‘rich with lore’ it is lazy game design. And even if you do spend the time to assemble those scraps into a semi coherent timeline (or watch a YouTube video on it) you realize that the lore/story of the games is dogshit anyway

From games excel in two areas: combat and level design. I’m not saying that they need to do more but pretending that they do is simply a joke. Elden ring has worse level designs than the other games anyway because effort went into making the world big instead of making it intricate

Long shot here,

I will pay for help for the following boss,

Astel Naturalborn of the Void,

I'm at the summoning sign in front of the portal.


I'm lvl 70, 2 lvl +7 Bloodhound Swords,

I have gotten him down to 30%, it's a difficult fight for melee based because of the camera and hit box issue.

150 FG to whoever helps me complete it, PM me multiplayer password and when symbol is down.


THank you !
