Neverending loop of Clinical Nihilistic Depression and Hateful spite and indifference for all that is percieved

neverending loop

I'll show you.

I agree with Jonathan Blow's thoughts on Elden Ring.

There are a lot of things in this game/world that you are just supposed to accept because it's just a mechanic of the game, it's always been like that etc.

For example the player messages on the floor that he calls out for being stupid/taking him out of the game

The truth is they aren't actually making the game fun - in fact the game isn't fun. You play the game to try to get the "Dark Souls Experience," this thing that everybody else seems to be so into, and if you make it far enough you can feel pride you did this and that thing in this hard game, but the truth is no part of it is fun and it's all a big trick to get more people to play it.

And the funniest part is the perfect counter-example already exists and was made by the same studio - Sekiro is actually fun, it has tight gameplay and you're able to get into the game world. It rides that line between challenging and frustrating successfully. And there are no player messages on the floor

Having lots of fun watching Jonathan Blow videos.

Sekiro is an actual good game. Elden Ring is made exclusively for "Dark Souls Fans" - not recommended for a first time experience.

I am way better than JBLOW at Fortune's Foundation.

Jonathan Blow is not actually good at anything.
