That’s because Elden Ring is Dark Souls for noobs. You just weren’t able to git gud. It’s okay. Not everyone can. Saying a game that literally spawned an entire genre has “horrible design” is pretty ridiculous though, don’t you think?
It has a lot going for it that is really good, but the way the game is laid out and the controls and the menus and several other things that fall under design are pretty horrible. Definitely not unique, Metal Gear for the MSX spawned a lot of different content and arguably a genre, but it’s annoying to play, same with the first Assassin’s Creed, and I’m sure if we looked plenty more.
