A little update💙

Some of my close mutuals already know why, but due to personal circumstances, I’m changing my online name.

From today onwards, I’ll be going by Eiloria.

Thank you for all the support as Komi. Here’s to a new chapter.

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@runawaynikki Awhhh I really hope you can do that :(((
That’s a ton of old indie games it’s like a massive treasure chest with so many hidden gems and you can tell they are really made with love 🥹

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

I miss just playing a game and forming your own opinion.
I guess it’s like everything these days though, echo chambers.
I’m gonna avoid this account for a few days until this conversation dies down. Gonna enjoy some games for a while, specifically indie games.

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@runawaynikki Kinda in a platformer phase rn, thinking of going back and giving blasphemous a go.
I started it before and got distracted by other games, I think it’s time to commit 🥺

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@Jackbbyl I hate the rose tinted glasses everyone looks at Elden ring with.
I like pointing out the irony that there’s so much likeness to berserk cus you don’t see people saying Miura invented the style like they do Miyazaki 😭
Dark fantasy is an aesthetic for a reason

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

A new dark fantasy that runs well?

No I need my 60fps Elden Ring, every limitation is actually a genius artistic decision and having criticism means you just don’t understand FromSoftware.
Did you know FromSoft actually invented dragons ?

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@199Thantos I forgot that fromsoftware invented flips my bad

(Artorias is my fave character of all time btw)

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

‘Sister Friede from Elden Ring’
Larping or bait?
I know I shouldn’t engage, I know

[I ᶫᵒᵛᵉᵧₒᵤ Gaga † @slayyytor00]

Hoyo even copied entire Sister Firede boss fight from from Elden Ring LMAOOO THESE DEVS HAVE NO SHAME. 😭

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@victor2_10 @CocktailHermit I didn’t know an underground city was an enemy?
If they ‘they’ is Hoyo, I have never played one of their games.

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@romnifi It’s atrocious that saying words is paywalled

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

I crashed out at the character limit and paid a billionaire to let me say more words
Tough times

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

On pc yes pls don’t pick anything up 😭 On console it’s fine hahahaha. The hacking situation on pc was genuinely insane for a period, hackers could mess with your character, force weird shit to happen, crash your game, even fuck with cutscenes. There’s some hilarious videos out there hahaha. At one point there was an exploit that let hackers run code on peoples pc, which is why the servers were shut down for months before er 💀
PvP was so good 😭 I hated only being able to invade multiple hosts on er, im a dirty red phantom pvp is my fuel

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

Anyway, final thing I’ll say on this because I’m getting tired of repeating myself 😭

I’m a FromSoft fan, not a Hoyo fan. I’m not defending the new game because I’m secretly some Hoyo worshiper. I just think the reaction from some Elden Ring fans is ridiculous.
Funny how Dark Souls fans aren’t crying about it, but the Elden Ring crowd are acting like From invented dark fantasy.

If you have actually played FromSoft games more than just ER you know ER itself is probably their most slop like game (other than nightreign) when it comes to reusing assets, enemies and ideas from the four games before it.

Some of you genuinely like Fromsoft. Some of you just like Elden Ring and are larping as Fromsoft fans 🤷‍♀️

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

Nooo I’m so sorry 😭
My first experience leaving Pontiff and being invaded I used the ‘help me’ carving and the invader dropped me a bunch of souls and guided me where to go
I returned the favour lots of times to many noobs by dropping soul/items 😭😭😭
There’s a story about how Miyazaki came up with the idea of how player interactions should function, it’s very beautiful 🥹

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

I wish every one got to experience ds before Elden ring existed :((
You don’t know the joys of fight clubs behind Pontiffs arena hahaha
omg I feel so sad thinking about what we lost in terms of invasions and pvp, it’s so different now
I wish solo players could be invaded whenever, I hate how they made it more lenient

I guess you’re right but, most older titles remaster cough bloodborne pls cough. Miyazaki is known for making dlcs better than full games and I feel that way about erd tree, it’s my fave part of er for sure so I’m not complaining about dlcs either🫠 It’s more like nightreign, the movie, sekiro anime (which I’m probably gonna watch),torrent skins, the focus on multiplayer, it worries me. I don’t want a fromsoft battle royal with a battle pass and mtx everywhere. I also reaaaaalllly like the fact we are never directly told the lore so a movie makes me sad;( if they telling us lore now vati is out of a job lmao

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@araneaNIKKI Once the discount is over he’s getting 0 from me

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@wishwoventhread He knows EXACTLY what he is doing ew

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

I guess ds3 was more of a homage to the older titles, so I can understand the reuse there (I’m not bias I swear). I just really expected Er to feel more unique and like a genuine step away from reusing so much. Also Miyazaki said Er would be the last souls game, only for more to come afterwards 😭

I think a lot of people who started with Er probably feel differently about the older games too. DS1 and Ds2 can definitely feel clunky compared to Er and Ds3 is probably a much easier transition for someone coming from Elden ring.
I think their remasters feel less like remasters due to their engine, sure they have upgraded it over time but it’s still can’t go above 60fps. The Demons souls remake is the only one, and that’s on a third party engine.

I started with ds on console then repurchased all the games when I moved to pc lmao. I love the clunky charm to Ds, I love it for so many reasons but I’d be here all day.

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

Sorry to add, but with how polished Sekiro was, I really did expect big things from them. Thats why I was so let down by how much was reused in Elden Ring. Over 200 boss encounters, yet only 14 were unique… it genuinely made me sad 😭
Nothing about ER makes me want to go back and play it, whereas I’ve put hundreds of hours into various playthroughs of DS, PvP, Soul level 1 runs, no hit runs, everything. I just can’t bring myself to do the same with ER :(

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

I played my first souls game 10 years ago, before Er was even in development. I went on to play every single souls game, bloodborne, sekiro and even AC cus I loved my experience with DS so much. But ER never captured that feeling my first DS playthrough gave me. Dark souls literally cured my depression and it holds the biggest place in my heart.

Duskbloods looks really interesting, but personally I do worry it’s going to lean heavily on Souls assets again with the style of it and still be locked to 60fps.
Pre ER From were probably my favourite developers. But Nightreign, the movie, selling skins, and all the different ways of milking profits from a title just isn’t what I remember Fromsoft being about. It genuinely changed how I view them.

Elden Ring is visually beautiful, and its visual storytelling is and always will be one of Froms strongest qualities. So yeah slop was harsh, and it came from a tired DS player who is begging for something new again. 😂
I just want them to move on from Er now. Give me new, interesting titles like Sekiro and Bloodborne again. Both are masterpieces minus the 60 & 30fps hahaha.

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@RainniferIN I’m very sorry for how long my reply is gonna be cus I have to clarify that I do indeed love fromsoft very very much

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

@fortayee Never played a hoyo game in my life btw

[Eiloria @eiloriaa]

Same as Elden Ring defenders though, the game is visually beautiful but that’s about it.
It’s not as fun to play like the older souls titles.
It has reused assets from 4 games before it, weapons, armour, enemies, boss moves, it’s locked to 60 fps, it has over 140 repeat enemies, it has very little replay ability with my first save clocking in around 250 hours. Not to mention how its success changed the company, nightreign is the kind of slop I never thought I’d see from try to ship us, they even selling skins now.
Ur right about old Ubisoft games though, far cry 3 nocks both out the park.
Most tripple a games the days are just ppls trying to jump on trends to hit sales targets, you only find games with personality if you play indie games 🙏
