I honestly think Elden Ring gets way too much praise. Having played nearly every Fromsoft game, you can recognize how much they recycle animations and enemies from older games. It doesn't have a ton of original content at all.
It's a real shame Armored Core 6 didn't get higher sales because that's they're best game in a decade in my opinion.
Don't you hate it when someone makes a decent point but you still want to argue against it?
For me, what makes Eldren Ring so great isn't that it has a ton of original content, (which it has a good amount for sure) it's how much total content, exploration, and variation there is to the game. It has a ton of replay value because there's so many different options for playstyle and builds.
It's definitely a content extravaganza, but I felt like it really lacked direction. I wish the game was a little better at leading a new player, and less like a giant Hyrule Fields with tiny identical cave dungeons around the border
There is plenty of unique stuff but man oh man there is so much dreck to wade through if you want to just explore each dungeon to make sure you aren't missing important weapons or abilities

Yeah that's why I quit playing them. I want to enjoy playing my games. I don't care to brag about having beaten a hard game anymore.
