Prototypic 02/04/24 12:49:44 PM #21:	The open world was kind of novel the first time around, but ultimately the parts of the game I liked most were the unique dungeons.

I also tend to feel compelled to do everything, even if I initially planned to skip the repetitive mines/catacombs/caves/etc, which got a little tedious on subsequent runs. --- Thus I became a madman. <cite>Prototypic posted [p:978649485] in The open w...

KajeI 02/04/24 6:43:52 PM #33:	As long as the progression path is at least as open as DS2 I don't care how they do it in the future. I love ER's open world because so much of it can easily be skipped with no real consequence. That's the main reason it and DS2 are the ones I've completed the most times, limited progression paths is poison to making me want to replay a game, no matter how good it is. At this point I've only got 1 more playthrough of DS1 and DS3 in me, and both need me to cheat in the weapon I want to use because otherwise I can't use them until at least 50% of the game is done, and fuck NG+. After that I'm just straight up finding a mod or cheating to respawn the bosses I do enjoy. --- Look, I can name a few instances in MY life where I tried to reach mutual understanding and i can TELL you, always faster and easier to just kill em.

sfcalimari 02/06/24 2:01:50 AM #35:	They really did mess it up. They should have left the horse out and made the open world denser, and gated upgrade materials way more. As it is, there's no reason to fight any enemies because you can just rush past them on the horse, and they don't give enough runes to be worth fighting anyway. You end up just rushing from A to B to get upgrade materials, and spend like 80% of the game farming for runes in a few spots. Yeah you can force yourself to play differently but that's never fun, plus the game actively punishes you for being weak with things like literally the first enemy you see when you emerge into the open world. --- "Tether even a roasted chicken." - Yamamoto Tsunetomo <cite>sfcalimari posted [p:978681460] in The open w...
