I'm glad to hear.
Elden Ring's open world is good, but not their wheelhouse. They certainly embarrassed EA, but I don't think they're competitive with Rockstar.
Same. Elden Ring's biggest weakness is its open world, in my opinion. It makes the first playthrough great, but it makes subsequent playthroughs a chore. Especially when you're aware that 90% of dungeons/side areas have completely worthless gear and runes. Your subsequent runs just end up being you riding Torrent for long stretches of time from point A to point B.
This is why playing a randomizer is so damn fun. Every cave/catacomb/ruin can have "the" item! Makes exploration fun again.
