In order to not make it a wasted thread.
Isn't the Ys series the real perfect open world game?

Ys has perfect balance.
At first it gives you elden Cuck area to play. But later it limits precisely the level/HP/Items you can take to the first tough boss.
You can no longer acquire any more items or levels to make the boss easier.
While Elden Ring does this to a certain degree, it's not as precise and accurate as in Ys.
Elden ring is like if you would take a good drink, and water it down a bit with sewage water.

Illusion of an open world and choices only to railroad you into a specific situation? Sounds like a Bioware game.

Why is restricting player's freedom a mark of quality?

Which Ys is open world? The older ones (translating, the good ones) weren't.

no Ys game is open world, what a retarded thread
It is for the first part of it of the first game.
You just walk around, no particular order, you can finish bosses at different order, until you meet the "gate boss", you have no other choice but defeat at the exact level you are allowed to reach.
It's so brilliant, it's like two games in one.
Because quite early in the game, your level is already capped.

Yea, it wasn't a really big "world", but I played it in the 80s on SMS, and in the 80s it was amazing.

Elden Ring is mid but this thread is worse. Open world games do not need caps on how much you can level up or acquire items, defeats the entire point of the freeform experience of open world games

Ys 1 was a freaking 4 hour long game. As soon as you boot up the game, you walk out of town and walk as far north as you can, enter the cave, and grind there for 2 hours, walking out of the cave only to regen. Once you hit level 10 then you spend an hour hunting down NPCs to talk to and finding the talking tree. Then you enter the tower dungeon and slog through it for an hour, and once you reach the final boss you quit the game because the final boss' movement speed was tied to your refresh rate and is literally impossible to hit if you are playing on a modern computer, so you just watch the ending on youtube.

Cucked.
That's just high player level skill speed.
The final boss is the epitome of the game. The entire game pales compared to the final boss.

Journos gave 10/10 to Elden Ring. You cannot give more mental anguish than that to Souls fans.
