Tough but Elden Ring for me. It depends what you prefer though.

so you dont want to replay it from the beginning ?

if God of War Ragnarok so good replay it on the hardest difficulty or any difficulty with what you learned from beating it? Unless you are saying its a one and done. Most who beat it uninstalled it

Yeah that’s the problem with story centric games to me. They focus so much pacing on telling the story that replaying them can be a chore for large parts. I’ve tried replaying TLOU2 multiple times but I get so bored because the intro levels are soooo slow pacing wise. TLOU at least offers a chapter select which is nice.

Ragnarok is hella slow until just after you get the spear but yeah I can already tell I won’t be replaying this. Meanwhile I’ve got like 250+ hours on Elden ring

you see it

Fromsoftware Stans are literally one of the biggest elitist groups in gaming lol

That’s cuz beating a “difficult” game is the biggest accomplishment they’ve gotten out of their lives

Doesn’t change the fact the games are A1 tho

Facts. The first tree sentinel was the hardest boss in the game for me because I beat it before doing anything else. Malenia was one of the easiest bosses in the game because Rivers of Blood shred through her healthbar like butter

hopefully Elden Ring's success will allow them to optimize the performance for Elden Ring 2 more, it can't be considered a niche jprg series anymore

None of this coming close to Duke Nukem

I agree.

God of war 10/10

Elden ring 9/10

Nothing else needs said lock thread

god of war goty

Elden ring combat feels like a ps2 game. Your created dude animations are dogshit.

They got some amazing bosses and the open world is really nice.

God of war just wins more categories imo.

This sounds like projection.

But in most cases, you’re probably right

Ps2 games are better than ps4/ps5 games

No one’s saying it’s a one and done, but to criticize a story driven game for not replaying it immediately after you 100% it (which I did) is absurd

Game of the Year is not “which game did you play the most hours in” because there are plenty of s*** games that people rake up hundreds of hours in. (2K, Madden, COD)

It’s asinine to say that you can get overall more hours out of Elden Ring because thats common sense; one is an open world RPG, the other is a single player action adventure.

The worth of a game is how much enjoyment the player gets from the time spent with it, not how many hours of their life they dedicated to playing it.

I think Elden Ring is a 10/10 but I literally haven’t touched it since April. That doesn’t mean it’s lesser than Ragnarok, I just got what I wanted from it and haven’t had the urge to play it in a while.

That’ll be the case for Ragnarok as well since I just beat it last week.

Yup, like I definitely appreciate the work put in to FromSoftware games.
But their stans can be pretentious as hell

Game of the Year =/= “Game I’ve Played for Most Hours”

People play games like 2K, Madden, COD, and Destiny for hundreds and hundreds of hours and none of those titles are anywhere near GOTY.

It’s asinine to compare the playtime of an open world RPG and a single player action adventure

Some sure but overall absolutely not

But that’s probably just your nostalgia talking since I know people my age who think PS3/360 games are better than any games now.

The games you played growing up are the games you’re gonna think are better than everything else

I think both games are S-tier but all that’s better in Elden Ring is the exploration and customization. I think Ragnarok beats it in every other category

Super Mario 64 still better than modern games

*Super Mario Sunshine

Slight edge to 64 imo. More fun replay value and fluud controls were a bit stressful sometimes.

Elden ring is just death stranding walking sim. No story. Just a hard game for no reason. Fromsoftware can’t keep getting away with this!!
