The Enchanted Knight might be the first default black character in a From game.

Maybe RDR2 has spoiled me but I'm still not convinced about the open world.

open world is gonna be strange though ... I like the treachery of being stuck in small spaces and going places you knew were about to fukk you up
less space meant quicker decisions

I didn’t, GTA3 Vice city & San Andreas, if you replace the horse with the ability to swim or ride a bike, by your logic shouldn’t be worthy of a full price tag because it’s the same mechanics despite each game evolving the mechanics and being set in an entirely different world with a different story

Except that all GTA's come with a different perspective of how one does the same thing over and over again. Different characters, a diverse story every time....this is more of the same, in the worst extent, delivering an ambiguous story does not equal genius. So more guess work on story, while we mindlessly hack away...add a mount and its just more tedium that looks cool. This is the same thing that ME Andromeda suffered from. There's a reason Bloodborn was revered for its story...because From Software finally gave us a semi-cohesive one. Even Pokemon tries to deliver unique plot lines, because while, yes, I can mindlessly press A or B to win fights, I also need a pretty decent reason to do so.

Yall just say anything on here


Gaming has clearly hit a plateau, which is good and bad. I'm with riding the hype train if its good, for me, its not worth the full price, especially since its FS's tryout game. I remember gamers getting pissed that Bully was just GTA for lightweights...its no different here.

From software has improved on their formula with every release though, especially from DS to Sekiro. Elden Ring looks like a culmination of all these efforts
I don't see why they should abandon a winning formula. As long as they bring new ideas to the table, I don't have a problem with DS being the foundation of their games.

People just love complaining about shyt.

You know how the saying goes, "Stick with what you know"? Well, your posts in here shows that you should stick with talking about hoes instead of games.

Who said the souls games had to do something totally brand new?

Mounts and open world seems to fit that anyways
