to sell more copies

Dark Souls 1 was open world too, what of it

Because Fromsoft were running out of ideas. And when a studio runs out of ideas they just make the game big, and it usually pays off. If anything, I'll be interested to see what they do next and whether it will confirm my suspicions.

sense of scale, grandeur, a different kind of adventure

many reasons, many retarded threads about this fucking game

No it wasn't.

Yes it was.

Nope.

Yes.

No. You are the only one who thinks that.

Yes.

Miyazaki's ego

no, it wasn't

to get normies to buy it

Dork souls 3 railroad design make sure they need to try do it better the world design

Yes it was.

Because of pic related

No. You are the only one who thinks that.

Yes.

Because Miyazaki wanted to make an open world game since DS2, stop whining.

Because open world is just better. I can't think of the last time I played a non open world game.

Any reason why not? The level design feels the same as Dark Souls, it just so happens that you can choose to go in any direction. All the dungeons and pretty much the entire game from Leyndell onwards is linear.

Because people would call it another souls rehash. They got bored of the old formula.

Just do the next one with robots. Call it armored ring

No good reason.
The open world is the weakest part of the world design and has no good reason to exist, and actively causes problems with the game's flow (hence people complaining about some areas being too hard while steamrolling through others).
The game would have been much better if it was more linear, it would have been much easier for them to balance it too.

yeah I usually like open world games but it kind of clashes with the souls formula and makes the game too dispersive.

From wanted to try something new instead of making Demon's Souls 7, and it payed of off handsomely.

I argee.

it really wasn't, dude. zoomers see an interconnected level design and have their brains blown the fuck out. I guess the system shock games are open world too by your logic.

Yes.

The open world part of the game was a drag. If legacy dungeons were gone for good, it would have been a 4/10 game. Torrent controls are clunky and 95% of the weapons are useless while riding.

>the system shock games are open world too
Yes?

Pretty much. Normalfags love their sandboxes.

>why be open world?
>why have item crafting?
>why even have enemies?? Just keep the bosses
>dungeons are just in the way to get to the boss, get em outta here
>why have bosses, I just want to beat the game
>why have ANYTHING?? What’t the point??

Good album overall

So discord trannies who don't play videogames can have a non issue to complain about.

and waifus, let those kiddies and zoomers have a gf in their game with their OCs and they will eat that shit up

I liked the open world.

what's your point, that more is always better no matter the implementation?

It really feels like they designed the legacy dungeons first then realized the scale of them and how their typical hallways design wouldn't show their overall design and scale well so they slapped on the rest of the world.

The game would have been perfectly fine if not immensely better if it has small free roam segments which connected these larger places, and they could have placed their small dungeons there instead. For it to be sort of a downtime or rest area before clearing the legacy tier dungeons again. Too much of the open world seems pointless and doesn't share the same passion or appeal.

>bunch of interconnected corridors
>open world
goddamn some of you are retarded. just accept you said something stupid and move on.

Sooo.... it needs to be flat square? ER aint flat square, half of the game is only accessible through interconnected corridors and lifts, just like in DS1.
I guess it's not open world at all huh
Retard.

It didn't need to, it wanted to. There's room for both types of Souls games. I'm willing to bet that the next From Soft game we get will be some kind of side concept like Sekiro or Bloodborne and won't be open world. But the next time they do something with Elden Ring, whether that be DLC or Elden Ring 2, it'll be open world again. They can do both.

>From wanted to try something new instead of making Demon's Souls 7
That's funny because that's exactly what they did

>half of the game is only accessible through interconnected corridors and lifts
You're a retard but I'll humour you. What pray tell is the OTHER half?
Oh, it's huge fucking expanses of open world to explore in any way or order you choose? Like a fucking open world game? You fucking mouth-breathing invalid.

I don't even wanna hear what you think the definition of an RPG is.

>and doesn't share the same passion or appeal
the cathedral of dragon communion for example was really unremarkable, after seeing the sign at the church I expected some epic building but it was just an almost identical structure. And the terrain in general is pretty uninspired, too much of it is grassy hills with random rocks and cliffs thrown around

>Oh, it's huge fucking expanses of open world to explore in any way or order you choose? Like a fucking open world game?
Yea same as DS1, except geographically bigger.

>why have item crafting?
This one is honestly a good question considering the nature of the game

>pray tell
fedorafaggot

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAH
Dark Souls 1 was not a huge open world, it was a set of branching paths or as you put it "interconnected corridors and lifts". Fuck off retard.

>the more casulized a game is the better it sells
this chart fucking hurts

Oh no the burgermutt is triggered because big words

it's just to get certain items on the fly without having to teleport back to a vendor while you explore, and to scatter crafting ingredients around to make the world feel less empty and give you a small reward for going to a remote/hidden place

>I haven't played the game and I talk shit: the post

The open world of Elden Shit Ring draws in millions of braindead normalfags + the casualized spirit ashe system being the games easy mode = massive popularity.
FromSoftware is DEAD. You will never get a proper and tight designed closed world, everything from now on will be soulless open world garbage, wasting your time with running around doing nothing relevant just to encounter copy paste content 70% of the time.
I've already Black Listed FromSoftware. Elden Shit Ring open world made me realize that I'd rather sit through the menus and diablo loot cancer of Nioh and Nioh 2, which made me appreciate those games much more than I initially did, so at least that is a positive.

> game isn't western therefore Yea Forums likes it
> Dialogue is badly translated and badly voice acted world salad with ye olde high english resulting in dialogue so ridiculously bad you wonder if they did it on purpose
> There is absolutely no reason to do any quest or talk to any npc you can simply grind in leyndell and beat the game

There wasn't any point in being open world. A good open world game is rdr2 or skyrim or fallout , where it makes you feel that this is a believable alternate world.

Elden ring on the other hand is simply the devs slapping on whatever they thought it was cool and the zoomers here treat it like the second coming of christ because they 'own the trannies' by liking the game
