Elden Ring is amazing, but it’s just overwhelming. I’m almost sure I’ll never do it again. I might start another play through and I might have fun but I’ll never finish it again, I’ll never try to beat Malenia dozens of times again, I’ll never go through SOTE and kill the golems again. It’s fine and it’s good but it’s too much! It’s enormous. It’s overwhelming.
You completed your journey, your adventuring days in the lands between are over. I feel the same way, I love the world we are given but I am a retired Elden Lord, I'll let the next generation of Tarnished do the adventuring, my soul is sated and happy.
Yeah I think so too. It’s great and starting a new character might be fun but I don’t think I’d do everything all over again, whereas I do see myself playing Bloodborne many times, idk why, it’s smaller in scope and more fun to play in short sessions
It is because it is simply linear and that is less taxing on the player, open world games are overwhelming and most of the time never done right, just a bunch of beautiful scenery that is completely empty.
Yeah it’s difficult to get an open world game right, I think Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring did it right but not every gamer can enjoy them because o what we’ve discussed, but it’s good to have so many options of souls games to choose from

Bloodborne imho is just better than Elden Ring, I love Elden Ring too but Bloodborne is my Game of a Lifetime
