When I think of Ubishit style open world games I think of climbing towers and having every area of interest automatically revealed on the map. It's so fucking gay, and that doesn't describe Elden Ring. You discover things more naturally. I'm glad more open world games are moving away from Ubisoft's patented garbage. I fucking despise that company and all of their games.
Do you really think the map markers are the only thing that makes ubisoft games what they are? ER's map is, in fact, in the same mold as an Ubi map, without the markers being revealed to you. Even though most open world games will have repeated content, ER's world map design and repartition of "activities" to do is very ubisofty. Oh, a camp of local mooks! oh, a carriage with an item at the back, I didn't expect to see that again! Oh, a dragon! good fking lord this game couldn't even resist spamming dragons. Of all the enemy types they had to do the copypasta on they had to make it seem like killing dragons is another saturday morning? is this skyrim? All the retards defending this right now wouldn't even have believed it if someone came on this thread before the game released and said this game would feature a spam of mediocre dragons to kill because this is too retarded by the standards From Soft used to set. If a leaker had mentioned things like these in a pre-release thread people would have called them a liar.
I don't get what's so subversive about this shit. It's an ubi game with Dark Souls gameplay. It's good because of the Dark Souls parts, and it's bad because of the open shit parts. They didn't change anything to the open world formula. Just removing the markers isn't a fking revolutionary move. You can remove the markers with a mod in Skyrim. Doesn't make the game any less shit.
