This has been a disappointing year game wise
a year ago
General
Just an aside as i work on the Starfall epilogue.
Other than Pal-world, 2024 has been disappointing game ways to me.
I've long since grown out of being able to tolerate griefers so multiplayer games like helldivers 2 was right out.
Balders gate 3 turned out to be an ad&d romance and sex game, more budget seems to have been allocated to that part of the game vs the rest. If i wanted a sex game i'd get something else.
The suikoden successor was both marred by a terrible translation from political hacks who think anyone right Stalin as evil and a piss-poor story. I actually wrote most of a multi page review as i forced myself to complete the game simply because i want to complete at least one game that isn't early access this year.
Now we get to the latest shit-fest. the dlc for elden ring. Where fromsoft drops their hard, but fair game play style for arcade hard. everything 1-2 taps you no matter your stats in a rpg game. the bosses are like anime wannabe's. flying around like Naruto ninja's unleashing 10-20 part combo's while your the typical plodding souls character. Some don't even wait for you to cross the fog gate they're already in your face before you enter.
On top of the fact they tuned them to favor only a single mechanic for dodging when the game has multiple ways to dodge and all of them are viable in the base game..
Then there's the lore. I shit you not, no pun intended. trousers or lower armor sets from any male npc's mention directly or indirectly they shit their pants. every female npc is portrayed as a mary sue. and the story is about a 'hinted at' under age femboy brainwashing, stealing souls of the main game bosses and well, doing 'relations' with them plus aliens somehow.
wtf man it's almost as if the dlc wasn't made by them.

I play games to relax and escape from this and i was looking forward to hours in the game now i don't know if i want to even play it after i complete the game as i said 'want to complete that isn't an e.a. title'.
