I mean, that guy has 210k subs and he doesn't like ER.
I think he still likes it. He tends to do lengthy critiques and this one in particular seems to focus on specific aspects that he sees it as lesser than it's precedessors. It is not a review and should not be treated as such. It's been a while since I watched it (in rearlier post I mistaken him with another minor youtuber focusing on lengthy
critiques). I do think Elden Ring is more sloppy than Dark Souls1 - but that's comparing it to a game that would easily make it into my top 10 of all times.
Elden Ring is Dark Souls but much much bigger and it comes with all the good and all the bad that comes from being that ambitious. It is incredibly impressive but also more repetitive, more sloppy, less "to the point" than its precedessors. It is what it is. Some with love it for it, some won't. Elden Ring is very, very flawed and would probably be better of if it was scaled down by quite a bit, but it is still very, very incredible.
Personally, I just hope thats FromSoftware won't get stuck trying to top Elden Ring. It is a kind of big release and big success that can topple a company.
