I honestly wouldn't have minded SOME sort of minimalist mission tracker desu. Or at least some sort of way to figure out where the fuck NPCs teleport to after you talk to them.
Ethan Walker
Fingercreepers uh? Maybe I should have crafted a Flame Pot™ for this mission.
Elden ring goes overboard in the opposite direction, failing to explain anything about its quests
Luke Baker
how do you even jump on them on a flat terrain
Owen Perry
There's quests, they're just shit.
Christian Hall
>you can grind in easier areas if you're overwhelmed this one always bothered me the most in games from the last decade, because they used to make games where it was just impossible to get hit much less die and yet they make it seem like they think people would struggle. Assassins Creed after 2 was a big offender of this.
Connor Morales
I hate how you can lose quests by advancing the story. It is manageable with old Souls games cause they were more linear and it was harder to lose tracker of who you met and where you met them. But with elden ring being open world, npcs just spawn in the most random and distant places. I went from meeting the wolf guy in the woods to meeting him again near the castle miles away from his first spot. Now I have no idea where the fuck he is. I probably lost his quest already and I have no idea.

You joke but Melina having little dialogues options at sites of grace is such bullshit
Angel Sanchez
Try not being brain damaged.
Brody Rodriguez
dont pretend anyone is doing these quests without a guide
>now millicent is in atlus plateau! why? she just is, okay?!
Ryan Cox
>Implying you wouldn't travel with your dorky Maiden that can also join you as companion in PVE
you don't need a guide if you check every inch of the map every time you get new dialogue.
David Campbell
One of the most annoying things about AAA games is when there is constant chatter coming over your characters earpiece or whatever. Like they never ever shut the fuck up. Telling lame jokes and reddit speak. Like who actually enjoys that. I remember trying spider man for PS5 and he literally never shuts the fuck up. You're flying around fighting bad guys and hes having a full conversation and telling corny jokes no one thinks are funny . Like shut the fuck up
Isaac Reyes
this is the worst part of the game. the open world is a waste if my motivation to explore it is Mushroom (2) being littered literally fucking everywhere, every single plant is both collectible and useless.
Joshua Wright
I really like these posts.
Kayden Lopez
you seem like a bitch rn

>On the way, be careful of the Giant Hand enemies! Use your TARNISHED SENSE to detect their hiding spots.
>Greetings, Tarnished! It's Melina, your useful finger maiden. Remember me? no i dont, in fact when you called me 'old friend' i was personally insulted because i barely saw you at all.
Plants are for crafting fags, too bad shit is so easy to make and find that this is a moot point.
Jose James
eat shit and get aids nigger
Andrew Brooks
normies
Joshua Howard
Hmm rowa raisins... I could craft something from these...
Thomas Lopez
This is actually the worst trend in modern western tranny games. I’d rather have a fucking freeze frame pop-up window than the player character talking to themselves like a schizo constantly >oh they aren’t talking it’s internal dialogue Yeah for players who have none of their own
Tyler Perry
>The Flame Giant leg looks injured, if I could attack it, I'm sure that would be an advantage
Id prefer travelling with mini Ranni companion who tries to act cool and detached but worries for my safety and pouts when I talk to female NPCs too much.
Daniel Sullivan
This would unironically be better than what we got.
James Howard
what do you even do with those?
Hunter Howard
thats literally how the character spiderman is expected to act retard
Landon Edwards
That's what I did, checked every related grace site after a npc moves.
Jordan Hernandez
From MUST respect its community and add a Nolan North voice-over for the player character as DLC
Cameron Cook
It's actually pretty good. Illustrates how games went wrong but shows it instead of telling it.

you farted on a decoy and now you are trapped inside an air-tight chamber, you are going to suffocate sorry

*CODEC CALL* >"Tarnished, it's Gideon. What's your status?" >"Sir Ofnir, I'm in front of the Capital gates, but there's no way in. This place has gone to hell..." >*sigh* We knew it wouldn't be easy. Try to look for a back entrance, chances are it'll be lightly guarded with minimal resistance. And... Tarnished, there's something you should know. Morgott contacted us >Morgott? How did he get our frequency? >We don't know... But he said if we attempt to approach the Erd Tree there'll be consequences... >What do you think he's got planned? >No idea, but I don't like this. Nelphi mentioned a Draconic Tree Sentinel is patrolling in this area. Don't take it head on, it'll be suicide! >Got it, Tarnished over and out!
William Cruz
>”Maybe I can dodge Malenia’s bullshit if I dodge backward, backward, forward, then backward? Sounds intuitive. I’ll give it a try!”
the biblical, shounen, wh40k levels of asspain over not a boss, but a single attack from a single boss is significantly more enjoyable than the game itself.

>"Ah, Master Wayne, I see you have entered the Caria Manor. Apparently, aside from the monsters, the manor was completely abandoned after a brief civil war in the Carian nobility decimated the house. Interestingly, this is also the home of a certain 'Ranni the witch' " >Ranni, I met a witch that went by 'Renna' at the old Church of Elleh who gave me a spirit calling bell, I'll have to investigate further
Oops, did you just do the boss of this dungeon? :DDD You were supposed to only play through it just up to the boss and then anticlimatically cockblock yourself by porting back, silly >:D Sorry tarnished, but these two (2) questlines are over for you now ;DDD (There is a now useless leftover quest marker on your map though as a souvenir :)
Adrian Young
lol wait, shes known as a finger maiden? lol i didnt think a souls game could get any gayer. but finger maidens and shit eaters tops it. but where do you go from here? great game guys really.
Jordan Lewis
>I use my +Heavenly Two Handed Sword of Turbo Murderlizer +3 to deal a gazillion murder points to it!
>related grace site how do you know which ones are 'related'?
Tyler Diaz
The only thing this game needs is a journal that records NPC dialogue. Fromsoft's autistic quest design is not conducive with someone that likes to explore. There were several times in my first play through where I'd talk to an NPC, they tell me something ONCE and then they teleport across the map. Just a simple journal with a list of NPCs and a timeline of their dialogue would've done wonders.
Robert Smith
Spiderman is the one character that it makes sense for them do since that's literally his shtick. Shit talking and telling the worst jokes.
Joseph Brown
>proceeds to rythmically press LT for the next couple if minutes >then one more time
I relly thought Yorm would stay the worst fight in souls history. What was even the purpose for making more than a single animation for Rykard?
Carson Garcia
heal torrent your pots heal him as well, and im pretty sure simply remounting does as well i've never used one of those raisins, good thing theres 5 different kinds in the game

TARNISHED! I'm hacking into South Raya Lucaria Gate, but before I can do that I'm gonna need you to buy me some time. Use your TARNISHED SENSE with the circle button to look for clues. Remember, you can use TARNISHED SENSE with the circle button to scout out the surrounding area.
