    You’re missing out bigly if you give up on Elden Ring. It’s the best game of the century, so far.

    If you can parry in Sekiro, then you should be able to dodge or block or parry in ER and win. If not, then go a different direction and level up or something. It’s an open world with tons of options.

      You’re only missing out if you enjoy soulslikes. If you don’t, you’re just going to be miserable

        I’ve subtracted some words from your comment to make it more accurate:

        “You’re missing out if you don’t enjoy soulslikes.”

          Nah. Soulslikes are imo awful to play. There’s really nothing fun about them to me. There’s plenty of people who enjoy them, but they’re not a universally fun experience. I’d slam my balls in a door before needing to complete a soulslike. They’re not fun to me, and that’s completely fine

      I don’t find hyperbole like this especially convincing.

      I love Elden Ring but I honestly don’t think it lives up to the other soulslikes. Aside from Melania and Milaketh, it’s not even a difficulty thing… I think the open world aspect just waters down all of its strengths.

      I ended up putting in 300+ hours before I beat the game because the PvP and co-op were way more fun for me than getting to the end.

      What’s good about it? I’ve seen people stream it and it looks really boring, just repetitive and dingy.

      lol it’s not even as good as any of the Dark Souls games. It’s probably FromSoft’s weakest entry in the last decade. And yes, I finished it solo all bosses…twice.
