the reason why i prefer fights in dragons dogma over elden ring and dark souls is because the fights are OUTSIDE. i’m tired of arenas, i think it’s miraculous that a monster can just take you anywhere. i still wish the venom fight in spider-man 2 was across new york https://t.co/3m5uERpT0J

Fun fight. I think I died more figuring him out than anywhere else in ds3

It's not a bad fight in any way, and I am a sucker for showdowns. I just hate it when people say it is absolutely the peak of DS3 boss fight.

Elden Ring is full of open world fights you can run away from
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
You can run away but you can't drag the fight to a different area. Keep aggro far enough away from their set location they just phase from existence and teleport back to their spot. It's not even that hard to do unintentionally in Elden Ring, especially with the dragon fights. It is very annoying when it happens. Namaste

Oh yeah that's lame. The aggro radius is the one thing that would make sense to carry over from ds2 and for some reason they give the easy out

Not even an argument, elden ring combat
is incredibly basic. You roll, you attack, maybe you use your one garbage 
special 
move. It's fun but the strategy never 
changes.
In DD you are doing mad shadow
of the colossus shit and there's all sorts of weird 
options 
available

The strategy depends on which weapon you use which changes everything. DD looks like a slightly improved Palworld.

No email address required.
Ultimately none of the bosses in ER are different
experiences though. It's all totally superficial. The boss does some flashy 
move you have to watch 
for ten solid 
seconds, you push dodge, you hit it. Once you've got the weapon 
you're using it's just all the same right 
to the end and all that changes is how tight the dodge timing is and how spongy the health bars are

in DD you can throw
goblins at each other, chop off pieces of enemies to weaken them first, use different 
elements to disable certain enemy 
moves, grab an ogre's leg and shove it to make him fall over, shit like that. it gives you options 
to frick around instead of just like "push circle, push r1, repeat on every enemy 
until game ends"

There's nothing more pathetic than bragging about how "hard" a game is, like "uh I'm playing a hard game I'm so special", like NO these games are explicitly designed so anyone can beat them it is NOT difficult. Muscle ups are difficult, getting a college degree is difficult, beating a video game that the majority of people that pick it up beat is NOT difficult.

The absolute state of g*mers.
First the game was unplayable because of DLC but oops the DLC is actually worthless and doesn't impact the game.
Then the Dragon's Blight or whatever was ruining peoples games and everyone freaked out but oops the Blight is braindead easy to notice, then cure, and doesn't actually ruin your game either.
The hardest boss these nerds will ever fight are their own delusions.

Fromsoft allows running away because bosses are rigidly tethered to areas

elden ring isn't that similar, in dark souls
you generally roll and then get to attack. in elden ring you have to roll for five solid 
minutes between 
every hit while the enemy
