  1. I would agree with your point except for one thing… Dark Souls came out during a time when it was one of a kind. Elden Ring can't claim the same. Will Elden Ring be the best of it's kind until it's next iteration (if any) comes along? Maybe. Other than that I agree whole heartedly! There's just something about being the first of your kind… the very definition of a genre that makes something memorable. Souls like also has a better ring to it than Ring like or Elden like… I really REALLY HOPE I love it more than Dark Souls even though Dark Souls is my absolute favorite game. i want a game I can play for the next couple of years at least.

  2. "There is nothing in the Souls games I do not like." There is no way a statement that hyperbolic is true. Everyone has at least one thing they would say needs improvement. Feels like a disingenuous way to start out.

  3. Honestly I have so little doubt elden ring will be their best game by a long shot. It’s the culmination of everything, learning from all the mistakes, incorporating and drawing from everything that worked… I really wouldn’t be surprised if it goes down as one of the best games ever

  4. I hope so but I'll keep my expectations in check. There's a real possibility that Elden Ring ends up being the Breath of the Wild of the Souls games, which to most people would mean a 10/10 game but to a lot of Zelda fans BOTW definitely made sacrifices to become the game we know today. It buried a lot of what made Zelda so good in the N64 days and replaced it with new concepts and ideas, some amazing, others not so much.

    If Elden Ring ends up being better than Bloodborne for me I would be VERY (happily) surprised.

  5. The ashes of Ariandel DLC is a reference to the painted world of Ariamis in DS1… not a profound metaphor for the series dying. The painting and painter are the prologue to gale wreaking havoc at the end of the ringed city DLC. The "rot" was present in DS1's Ariamis, and is meant to foreshadow the reasoning as to why gale would seek to correct what is going wrong in his, and his niece's world. You're insane
