Hot take but I'd rather play ds2 and I think this is an insult to ds2. 'Ate elden ring simple as.
That IS a hot take
I praise DS2 for going in a slightly different direction than "DS1 cycle forever, nothing matters". Also, somehow, Elden Ring had worse balance and bosses than DS2.
I always hated the cycles thing. It was just a way to explain more sequels and it cheapens the endings of dark souls 1. As much as I like the dark souls sequels it would have made much more sense to leave it at 1 tbh.
Or make the others prequels! There's plenty of stuff to explore in the past. The Undead hunts? All the big kingdoms? Anyway, DS3 kinda rubs it in further by giving you the opposite of whatever ending you want (at least for the basic two). If you link, it just fades anyway. If you leave the flame to die, it just goes "lol, I'm back" later. Kind of ruins the "maybe this is the last one" narrative.
this man is too based to be left alive
I hate the names of everything and everyone in ER. FromSoft came up with cooler names in the DS/BB games.
100% everything is named something stupid and they arent at all memorable. Thank you for saying it.
So many characters just have a variation of other characters names.
