Ugh I love the game but it's immune to criticism in some peoples eyes

It is a good Souls game with combat improvements. It's telling the same type of story as every other Souls game, but with even bigger lags between cutscenes, and that's fine! I like that kind of storytelling, but it's not reinventing storytelling as a concept. I also love David Lynch movies and Twin Peaks. Doesn't mean I shriek at less obtuse and vague writing for being inferior and outdated. Not saying all Souls fans are like this, but funny how the "It's not for you. Play something else" crowd want Elden Ring to be the template by which all other games are judged. "This game is linear. It's stupid. This game is too easy. It's stupid. This game is cinematic and tries to be emotional. It's stupid! This game isn't from Miyazaki! Stupid!"
