I'm sorry I'm finding it really hard to get excited over something that looks like this...
Like what is this. Everything is so flat and lifeless looking. No shadows. The enemy right there took as much skill to kill as turning a doorknob. I really feel like I'm missing something here. Miyazaki's latest interview stating it's the easiest "souls" game seems to be true since all the videos ive seen show enemies being defested in like three hits. And who knows, I'm not considering From Software's pedigree but damn son, this just does not look impressive at all.

Looks like medieval architecture in a dark-fantasy setting during a cloudy day. What is it with these lifeless/sterile complaints? You want a tropical beach with palm trees and garish rainbows coming out of a horse’s anus?I'm sorry I'm finding it really hard to get excited over something that looks like this...

Will my sweet Sony lcd magically create depth and shadows? Will it also create enemies that do more than charge forward and die in three hits?

Look goods to me. But I have no basis to compare it to since I dont play DS kinds of games.
The one thing that did look weird is the janky movement on the horse.

This sums up some of my thoughts. I was watching people play the network test and the majority of players were just walking into enemies, poising through any attacks and mashing R1 to victory. And the game has a ton of recycled assets from Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne. Reused enemies, reused environments, even reused arrow traps straight out of DS3 levels. I'm not exactly hyped.

Jesus Christ, can't this engine render the most basic shadow? The art is excellent, but I haven't seen an AAA game with such poor tech in a long time.
Bluepoint Games should start working on the remaster already.

Fair enough criticism about the graphics. FromSoftware has never had top notch graphical fidelity.I'm sorry I'm finding it really hard to get excited over something that looks like this...

Yeah I mentioned the brain dead enemies shown off thus far in videos and streams. Enemies that take a few hits with very little technique required to defeat.

I cant.
The amount of defending of these graphics is very funny. Same people that will poop poop the top graphical showcases. “The character doesnt interact with every blade of grass, the character stepped on water before stepping on the dirt, there should be mud foot steps“
Graphics are borderline average, gameplay is beloved. flip the page.

Preorder cancelled. Why do they think people play these games? The gameplay? No shadows, no buy.

lol even as a FROMSOFT fan i agree. we all know how different it would be if elden ring was an exclusive. the game would be getting scrutinised to death right about now.

That's called hypocrisy. But just ignore these people. They are a very small vocal group.I cant.

This just looks ... like Dark Souls. I've played and beaten them all except demon/remake.
But looks far more barren and uninteresting. I'm actually worried now. Glad i haven't preordered yet.

Holy shit at doubters here, what weird alternative reality, but not surprising with neogaf’s score on predictions of success or scores.

Good traversal it seems. We don’t need realism, we need to get to places fast.

And is that so different than any of the games, I always play these games mashing R1 to victory, defending and dodging here and there. Souls games are not hard, it’s all about build. You don’t need quick reflexes, you just need to know how to dodge and block. It’s not that hard.
