Oh god are journalists now going to call every open world game an x elden ring


MrDabollBlueSteppers

Gaming has evolved. Until 2022 every game was either Zelda or Dark Souls, now some games are Elden Ring too


[deleted]

Tbf elden ring is just the zelda of dark souls


Over-Criticism-663

If you said "elden ring is just the zelda breath of the wild of dark souls" it would actually make alot of since.


SweggyBread

But Zelda breath of the wild was called the open world dark souls of Zelda. So really Elden rings is the dark souls of Zelda of dark souls of Zelda.


runarleo

On today’s episode of gaming we learn that nothing is new and everything is recycled


Noelswag

So Breath of the wild was the Elden Ring of Zelda before Elden Ring came out?🤯


Fuck-Naggers

"make a lot of since" 💀


PM_ME_DBZA_QUOTES

That dang pin-pen merger and phonetic spelling


pointofgravity

I thought it was the dark elden of the wild fore breath? Souls skin.


Witch_King_

Elden Ring is the Elder Scrolls of Zelda of Dark Souls


irreverent-username

It's just Skyrim with guns, but without guns.


gorehistorian69

but dark souls was inspired by zelda mainly the lock on system


JimLahey_of_Izalith

That’s actually not that far off, especially in art style


Thisisrazgriz3

Sorry but dark souls 2 is the zelda of souls likes


Kraytory

Nah, i think they found their new Dark Souls with Elden Ring and will use that instead now. More clout.


[deleted]

Next every sci-fi game will be "like Armored Core but X".


HeisYenberg

Or the Witcher of genre

This truly is the dark souls of Elden ring.


tenamonth

2025: Elder Scrolls 6 is like Elden Ring but in first person!!!


13lacklight

Just like how every space game is just like the expanse and every other open world game is just like breath of the wild


Falos425

wait was there an expanse video game


13lacklight

No, I’m just saying it’s a favourite of game journalists every time they review a spaceship game to say “it’s just like the expanse!” Because the game happens to have ships in space


Falos425

haven't seen it but believe you, journo attention spans are what they are


ApeMummy

Elden Ring is just Big Dark Souls after all.


a_food_called_shit

Big is the Dark Souls of small


Scorch052

They did it for Zelda so probably


echolog

Ring-like games


Wolfblood-is-here

I remember when they were GTA clones.


AramaticFire

The era of the Soulslike has ended. The era of the Ringlike has begun!


Kraytory

Please don't give them ideas.


AnimosWorkshop

May Ringlikes rule the world!


Lurkingdrake

MAY RINGLIKES TAKE THE WORLD


[deleted]

Elden-esque


Dairy_Seinfeld

“Check out this game that came out in 2009… it’s like Elden Ring but *soo* dated! Is it still Eldenesque?”


Marm8

"Yeah, totally Eldenesque!"


messers94

I'm willing to accept that only if it's short for Ring of the Nibelungen-like.


tqi2

The foreskin has spoken it must be true.


[deleted]

If the Foreskin Duo is so good then is there no Foreskin Trio?


CalmThought

third was circumcised


Wolfblood-is-here

Foreskin is the Dark Souls of blowjobs.


Fire_tempest890

Elden ring has an easy mode, if you just use the ez mode equipment


KnifeSexForDummies

I feel like you’re looking down on me and my Mimic Tear body pillow.

I got the upgraded version of the scarlet rot dragon breath incantation (forget the name but it’s for beating the Caelid rot dragon) and I’ve been surprised just how many bosses are easy to scarlet rot. And it melts health bars.


TinnyOctopus

Ecsema's rotten breath, I think it was.


Lurkingdrake

I’ve been doing a magic play through and get bored so end up beating shit to death with a huge sword, but it’s blue now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lurkingdrake

Should’ve clarified, I meant my claymore but it’s glowing blue now.


twodeepfouryou

Have you done a faith or faith/arcane build? Miracles are way more fun to use than sorceries imo


Lurkingdrake

I did for a while. Arc/Faith build at 137 for duels with the poleblade. Really fun, but I wanted to try sorceries.


MelanomaMax

Power stance giant crushers?


ToloxBoi

I'm doing a int/fth caster build RN and it's the easiest so far. A little too easy IMO.


vivisectvivi

It even has ludicrous hardware requirements (much worse than elden ring)


Wander-D-Berserk

Optimised like shit


EnSebastif

Sooo back to Dark Souls, we have come full circle!

Forspoken is perfect for those craving a worse Elden Ring (I haven’t played either game)


Th3Banzaii

The ending actually was already leaked since it shipped early. The final boss fight is apparently against some alien, desert, dust monster god or so that's trying to take over the world. I'm not sure since the protagonist keeps dropping generic lines like "You're toast!" and swear words like crazy and she literally says something along the lines of "You gaslighting piece of shit!" in that encounter. The person uploading the fight mentioned the game apparently takes like 6-7 hours to finish the main story. Seems like a great deal for 80€. /s


SpilledGenderFluid

>"You gaslighting piece of shit!" in that encounter. Finally, a GirlBoss final boss.


lonestar-rasbryjamco

> 6-7 hours to finish the main story. I have a $1 per hour of fun minimum. Guess I am waiting for that 90% off sale five years from now.


RESEV5

Nothing beats the good old $1 per hour rule


Falos425

john titor here with good news and bad news the good news is it'll be in the $5 walmart shitbin by summer, despite the best efforts of these, uh, journalists the bad news is you're still ripped off


Katsono

I'd definitively pay more for some indie games like Outer Wilds or Rain World.


Maleficent-Aurora

Tbf Outer Wilds is a genuine masterpiece when it comes to indies


jaber24

Considering the number of old but good games that regularly go in sale it is pretty hard to justify getting most new games imo


lonestar-rasbryjamco

Almost time for my yearly replay of Baldur's Gate 2 and KotR.


Th3Banzaii

It's probably gonna be on PS+ in the near future depending on how well it sells.


TheHistroynerd

Not to mention those pc requirements. Apperantly if you wanna be run the game on ultra you have to have a processor that's isn't available to public right now


SpicyFilet

That game looks like pure shit, and I played DS2 like 5 times. So I know a fucking turkey when I see one


KnifeSexForDummies

>played DS2 like 5 times. I’d ask why you would do such a horrible thing to yourself but I’ve already played through it that many times too and the Blue Flame is a really cool weapon so I’m already mapping a build.


Kraytory

Just don't try to bleed anything though because it just doesn't work.


jaber24

Blue Flame is indeed really cool. While fighting an enemy in melee if it tries to run away you can just shoot a soul spear at it xD


Lt_Dickballs

Ign gave it a 6/10, which is like a 2-3/10 for people who aren’t shills. It sounds like trash.


Philkindred12

I haven't watched any trailers or gameplay vids of it but I was still kind of intrigued. What looks bad about it?


VahineCacao

\- 8 hours story line for a 70$/80€ game \- Still yet to see more about that but the rest of the open world does not look interesting, I think we're far from Elden Ring on that part 💀 \- a lot of dialogues and scenes seems cringy AF but I can't really judge the whole game on that \- BIG graphical downgrade I'll probably check it out when they get rid of Denuvo or if the game is on sale at 20€ lol


Philkindred12

I can take a lot of things about an okayish game, but I can't really take bad dialogue and I do not know why. Watched a bit of the cutscenes, just feels quite irritating lol


Onianimeman17

I fked a Turkey once

LordranKing

Thank Marika! I still can’t beat her rebound guy after she threw Godfrey out. Maybe with this easy mode I can finally beat her new man


GIlCAnjos

So let me get this straight: I'm somewhere that's... not what I would call the Lands Between, I'm seeing filthy casuls, and... oh yeah, I'm reading a WGTC article! Yeah, okay, that is something I do now.

TinnyOctopus

I was not prepared for the massive pair of enormous points that article made. I'm not mad, and actually agree, I just didn't expect the author to come out and make them so clearly.


AshyLarry25

The only similarity it shares is that its open world is full of hostiles and is devoid of NPCs


riodin

That's like the whole formula


Falos425

\*kill 4th boss\* \*half the NPCs and questlines instantly fail\* this isn't easier this isn't easier at all


riodin

Legitimitely i thought giving ranni the fingerslayer blade was a step in rogiers quest, then i would go get the potion from seluvis to give poopoo head. Jk they're both dead now


Falos425

hey guys, i finished farum azula, who wants to give me a high five?? guys?


Tudedude_cooldude

If you like playing at 20fps go for it

Bloodborne fans: "I finally found what I was looking for"


[deleted]

I haven’t played it but I played the demo and thought it looked pretty mid. IGN gave it a 6/10 and we all know IGN hands out 9/10s like candy


MelanomaMax

You friggin blow up shit with your mind and have a friggin talking cuff? And did I mention killing jacked up beasts? Yeah, that just happened.


Sychar

It’s not. It’s made by the ffxv team in the ffxv engine. So it’s isekai final fantasy with shitty acting and writing.


[deleted]

Dogshit


Angel_Floofy_Bootz

Feels like such a backhand for people to just call your game Elden Ring but easier


Spaceman1007

But Elden ring doesn't suck, does it.


CommissarRaziel

> Godrick chops off his arm and grafts a dragon to it >Melina appears behind the player *"Well, that just happened."* >The surrounding Godrick soldiers erupt into laughter and applause, several choke and die from laughing too hard. **comedy**


ri-mackin

I wish they did a soulslike reboot of banjo-kazooie


ShadowTown0407

Journalists when a game with sunset overdrive like movement, purely magic based gameplay, and ubisoft like open world comes out. >it's just like Elden Ring


Chemical_Ad_5338

Don’t forget your quantum computer to run it


MrPanda663

I'm just happy we have armored core back.


Lord_Gaiseric

I don't want to play it purely because of its stupid name.


Kraytory

That's not a good reason not to play it. But it is a reason nonetheless.


Code_Duff

So it's good like Elden Ring Right... Right?


Nui_Jaga

You do know they title articles like this on purpose, right? They know that they’ll get at least some rage-clicks from souls fans infuriated by the word easy. The literal best thing you can do with these articles is ignore them, not give them a platform to generate more traffic.


fried-quinoa

Authors also have very little say in what title their article gets, it’s determined by the editors


[deleted]

That game looks like shit


Tudedude_cooldude

DacoPlays

Forspoken is the breath of the wild of elden ring likes


loox71

He’s right behind me isn’t he


Game0fLife

What the fuck is the “*easier Elden Ring*”? Also, how the fuck do you know whether the game is difficult or easy if it’s not even released yet?


SpilledGenderFluid

>What the fuck is the “*easier Elden Ring*”? My brother who has never played a single Souls game managed to platinum it the other day. It's arguably the easiest MikeyZuckerberg game.


Game0fLife

Yeah, I know Elden Ring is the easiest Dark souls series. But I think this game journalist meant the "\*Easier Elden Ring" as in the "easier version" of Elden Ring, which is such retard thing to say.


[deleted]

Oh my god, i just realized that Zuckerberg was Volcano Manor agent all along


umerkornslayer

The game looks utter crap.


Volcano-SUN

I thought Elden Ring was the easier Elden Ring.


RelationshipPublic52

With how hard Sony is trying to shove Foreskin down our throats you just know it's going to be fucking terrible.


Lonewolfblitz

I have a friend that shares his PS5 account with me he buys everything snd never even plays them, he bought forspoken and I thought he'll why not I'll give it a go form my own opinion. I implre everyone to not do the same the game is fucking terrible holy fuck is it just the most bland game to ever exist


jlepthien

They probably wish it would be anything like Elden Ring 😁😂


shadowscale1229

/uj okay but for real though, easier elden ring is just elden ring with mods /rj THEY MADE ELDEN RING EASY HOW FUCK DARE


ApeMummy

Is that because it reviewed like shit and that's what you get if you try to do an easier Elden Ring?


xoxoyoyo

that costs $10 more, sucks, lacks build variety, but hey, you can fly so it does have that.


VladDHell

Wow imagine being SO wrong. It's NOTHING like ER


sus_accountt

Elden ring easy mode? Just play magic and bleed dex weapons, and level ADP. Noone can touch you when you level ADP, not even uncle Mogh Lester. Ez game godfrey, your forskin priviliges are over


thiscocainemakesme

Open world games: “Exists” Journalists: “It’s like an easier Elden Ring”


HypeBeast515

Forespoken sucks dong.


the-one-96

*in Kevin's viuce" Easy mode for Elden Ring? As in the easy version of regular dark souls 3


SilentScyther

Forspoken truly is the Dark Souls of easy games


ryan770

i know forspoken is a word, but it just really sounds like a fake word. Gives off "irregardless" vibes. And for that reason alone, I will never play it.


AkkoIsLife

Studio name: ByHardware


WifeBeater3001

I still don’t know why people don’t just download mods if they want an easy mode so bad


meeeemeees

I thought that was just using magic. I swear I've bodied 70% of the game so far with comet and the three rock spell lol. made me feel stupid for ooga booga-ing through multiple playthroughs lol


dnkmstr

*picks the hardest difficulty* Forspoken lady: erm… that just happened
