while this is a troll comment, it is true that elden ring will have to make traversal fast and natural enough that it doesn't get bothersome after a while.
i saw that you get some stuff to help you with that late in the game, but i don't know how effective it would be.
in terms of botw not realizing its ow potential, i think he refers to the comparatively lacklustre amount of unique location with something to do in it...botw loves to give you ruins but ruins is all they are and all you can do is pass through most of the time, which is a shame

there's also one regarding what classes will people start with if you search enough.
for myself, i like dex builds, so it's between warrior, samurai and prisoner.
warrior is kind of the middle point, samurai comes well equipped and prisoner is comparatively poor in that aspect but has a way better stat per lv ratio, and so after a bad start can probably be a lil more powerful endgame wise..also it has a good amount on int as well, so you can go for an hybrid dex/mage

I mean, that's fair, as I'm not especially interested in the entire milky way.
I am interested in some parts of it though.

You're making a statement that makes no sense.

Are we supposed to care that you made a point to enter a thread about a game you don't like?
Oh, Demon's Souls then! There is a tutorial for that - maybe give it another go, it's one of the best games I have ever played.

Sure, let's put people that hates sports to review sports game! Let's put people that hate fighting games to review street fighter. It'll make complete sense!
NOPE.
The reviewers should be into the genres so they'll have the necessary sensibilities to understand the games.
And let's make one thing clear: people without any kind of bias whatsoever don't exist.

Just because a fanboy doesn't review a genre, doesn't mean you need to put people who hate it to review it. Everyone has some bias, but that doesn't mean you can't find level-headed people who like games as a whole.

Do you want an echo chamber!? Ever played a game that got 95+ and thought what were they thinking? You are gonna continue to get this if you JUST allow fans to do reviews.
Secondly everyone at some point wasn't a fan of souls at some point an then they played it and they were. These group of people are growing with every release so they should probably be catered too.
Maybe people that hate a genre shouldn't review a game but newcomers, people that were lukewarm in the past and people that haven't tried the series in a while absolutely should. The criticism will be more varied and better as a result

Funny how his valid points about AI was seemingly ignored in all reviews.

If they like games as a whole, they like the genre. You defeated your own point.

Because you have no base to make an assumption. Other than wishful thinking that is. You're hoping it happens. And it makes no sense given the hype and install base. You should make your peace with already.

I want people that understand the genres to review the games. There's no point in putting people who know nothing about JRPGs to review Xenoblade.

What are you talking about lol, there is a difference between liking a genre and being a "resident expert"

Wow, it's embarrassing just reading that. I swear the entire journalistic row of gaming is just people who were dragged in from the trash from the nearest container.

Great your catered to in fact it's the default. You have tons of choice about where to get your game criticism.
What about people that are interested in playing Xenoblade who have very little experience with JRPGs?
They might see value from a review from someone in the same boat as them.

And yet here we are blowing loads over the review scores. Can't have it both ways.

Considering Souls games have been going for 13 years, it's probably quite hard to find members of staff who don't have experience with Souls games, whether they loved or hated them. Unless you're just starting out, frankly it would be pretty embarrassing to be someone paid to play video games and to have NOT experienced one or more by now considering the industry impact they've had.
Frankly I don't want someone that's inexperienced with a genre/subgenre telling me about a game, I want an """expert""" opinion, the word being used very loosely. I don't play JRPGs much but I want the big JRPG fans to recommend to me what they consider the best JRPGs, not someone who played literally one and thought it was great. I can do that myself. If longtime Souls players band together and say "this is the best one yet" then that information is absolutely valuable to someone who's not played any.

If you don't finish a game for a review the lest you can do is to put a BIG DISCLAIMER "GAME NOT FINISHED: HOURS PLAYED: 4". EDIT: what a douchebag

I apologise, I mistakenly thought I was in a forum where discussion was a positive.
Or, do you want an echo chamber where everyone agrees?

Bloodbourne was awesome start to finish, I didn't like Sekiro as much as some and I never bothered to finished it yet. This game seems like It will be the greatest game I haven't played . I kind of laughed at the defining a generation hype but guess they knew what they had, good for them I hope they finally get a huge seller.

Bloodborne and Witcher 3 came out this early last generation, and they were both among the best.

Just as much base to assume it won't as you do to assume it will.

I'm just pointing out your wishful thinking is sad. That is all. I honestly don't know why that is so important to you. Sony will make vasts amount of money from both Elden Ring and HFW either way and I'll gladly play both. The joke is on you, buddy.

Don't know, why did you thought it was important to go on a thread to celebrate a game to make everyone know you don't care about it? Did you want to feel special or something?

We don't need people who don't understand a certain genre to review those games. It adds a bunch of nothing and unfair criticism. Do you think they put people that understand nothing about sports to watch, present and review sports? That makes no sense.
Same with movies. To review stuff you have to understand stuff.

Vet Soulsbirne players - what do you think of the difficulty? Is it challenging?

i love how people are ignoring the fact that ps5 is also having fps drops lol
Elden Ring performs better than almost all of the games in the top 6 did when they released.
BOTW, GTAV, RDR2, GOW, all targeted 30 and some didnt maintain that. Odyssey is the only one that was smooth in that top 6.

that still helps my case lol, the "best games" in average dont have good frame rate, doesnt make a whole lot of sense
Yeah just pointing out the unfortunate reality that gamers as a whole don't value performance (based on sales at least), so this is what we end up with. combination of lack of focus on optimization and hardware that's often outdated before it even comes out - though regardless of the hardware devs will always push it too far for the marketing materials. can't see 60fps in a still screenshot.
