@Pyrosa: Horrible game but oddly addicting. But i have spent hundreds of hours on horrible grindy addicting multiplayers before like dragons age inquisition multiplayer.

Might be because of the simplicity. Games like Hearthstone and Yu-gi-oh were fun back when they were simple enough to just play instead of needed a college degree in them to play.

@Barighm: No reason to go offline if you going to solo anyway. Is no pvp unless you in a multiplayer game already. Multiplayer a joke anyway too many hoops to jump through. Way to unstable and yeah the forced pvp sucks when you trying to get things done.

@gaeandilth: But my suggestion with Tales games is to get better post game content. Something like Star Ocean.
Actually my favorite post game is a little known Rpg called White Knight Chronicles Id prolly still play that off and on if the servers were still active. But i understand that is a little to grindy for most.

You know the problem with Arise and why it did not do better then it should of? Their Demo was HORRIBLE at showing you the game. It made it look worse then Berseria when it was actually a lot better.

I almost missed this game because of that Demo lucky i had a friend convince me to get it later.

Lol Hidden walls in Elden ring would be easy to find if there was not a fake message at every suspicious looking wall. Liar Ahead!

You would think the fake messages and the butt jokes would of got old over the past 20 years but they still do it in every souls game.

@Poidad: took me a lot of convincing too. Never liked GoW and it got worse with 2 and 3. But the new GoW is not the same kind of game at all.

@sippio: If you looking for a game to last awhile do not bother. Tiny tinas not horrible but it is very short. I finished story on first sitting platinumed(or would of if side quests did not bug out) In under 3 days.

@sebb: look up a weapon my suggestion would be the sword of night and flame. Look up that mimic get it asap too. Mimic can solo some bosses and that is not an exaggeration. I did my first playthrough blind. Did not have mimic used a plain old sword with a stomp ability it was hard. I got that sword and it became a whole bunch easier then i got the mimic and it is laughable now.

@Packer1080: Was about to say the same thing. But GoW was a surprise that kind of turnaround is rare in the gaming industry.

But listening to feedback is not the key. Listening to the right feedback is important but you still need talent. Because most games that blindly follow the feedback they get, are worse. Look at FO76, Anthem, Or BL3. Those games could of turned around but the player feedback made them worse.

@sebb: not after the first playthrough no. Once you turn the pc on and look up a few key things like your talismans, weapon and mimic the game becomes extremely easy for a souls game.
