@Rechardart Why tf are you trying to defend ADP bro. Just let it go.

Some people just hear about adp from a YouTube video and start crying without having any context to it

@UncleFree1 @zerohesis Not making any excuses. He played bad, just not Lebron 2011 levels of bad.

@CoalaIE @zerohesis Jokic didn’t score n the last nine minutes he choked and lost t Shannon n Mcdaniels no excuses

I promise you this is worse than 2011 bron this nigga lost to fucking dosumnu and mcdaniels not Dirk

@JeffooDT @AndriyCP3D @zerohesis Again, a bad performance in the series no doubt, but it's simply not on 2011 finals levels.

@JeffooDT @AndriyCP3D @zerohesis The question is not whether he played bad or not: He clearly did. But to say that his performance was worse than Lebron's in the 2011 finals is just flat out wrong. He was only just behind Murray in FGA (20p/g) and it's not like he was shying away from open looks or anything.

@Jaquarius2000 @T3Jab I'm not talking about the quality of the teams in either series. I'm talking about the fact that Jokic, despite playing poorly, actually stood up to be counted in this series. Lebron didn't do that in 2011.

@CoalaIE @T3Jab Defending champ lakers with Kobe got swept by that team same year btw

This Jokic series L is worse than LeBron in 2011 btw. This is officially the worst loss any all time great player has ever had in any round. Ran off the floor in a close out game by Jaden McDaniels and Terrance Shannon Jr

@JeffooDT @AndriyCP3D @zerohesis Bron had a (at minimum) top 5 SG of all time and prime Chris Bosh in his team, both of whom outscored him in the series. Jokic might have played ass but he still tried to lead the Nuggets offensively and wasn't afraid to take shots.

@AndriyCP3D @zerohesis Yeah what if Dirk and Jason terry got injured and Bron still lost? That’s what this is like

@WYLDERSSWORD @Dlika2 "Visual standards" and "ergonomic" are literally just buzz words in this context. You inherently assume that the way games function now is better than the way they functioned in the past. Your take is 'anti-art' in the most literal sense of the term.

the worst person you know thinks this remake looks soulless just because its not 240p and grey anymore

@biggieU_U Bonfire teleport is implemented the best in DS1 imo. Allows a limited form of warp in order to circumvent the tedium of walking back and forth through the same areas, but it doesn't let you just warp between every bonfire in the game, so there's still room for tension.

Ngl, I dislike being able to warp between bonfires. I don't think it adds anything, and it destroys what makes this game amazing. Thinking about routes in your head and making up a plan is peak gameplay.

@FrozenLemonade9 @Emperor_Sheev66 I think most people can agree that many of the dungeons in the game feel extremely similar and are a very clear step down from legacy dungeons in terms of quality, attention to detail and the handcrafted feel that Souls levels have become known for.

@CoalaIE @Emperor_Sheev66 Anyone who calls them copy paste dungeons is just telling on themselves. Yes they share bosses and aesthetics but they all offer unique layouts and gimmicks for you to work around and figure out. Were you expecting a legacy dungeon in every hole you walk into?

Meanwhile the level layout of the first legacy dungeon in the game:

@FrozenLemonade9 @Emperor_Sheev66 No, I would just prefer for the level design and world design to be consistent throughout the game. Could be seen as a matter of personal preference, but I don't think the Souls games lend themselves particularly well to the open world formula.

Halo Studios is reportedly ditching battle royale for an extraction shooter — tighter matches, bigger stakes, and more teamwork. I’d be open to that if it leans into social play like ARC Raiders👇 windowscentral.com/gaming/halo/pe…

@Hoffa9k @MechaGoddess I understand that but I don't think you can just isolate ER's legacy dungeons and say they're just as good or better than the other games core levels. They exist within the open world. You can't just blast through the game and only play the legacy dungeons.

@CoalaIE @MechaGoddess Yeah thats fair, but thats why I am only comparing the legacy dungeons to other areas in the souls series.

I have major issues with Elden Ring, but people need to drop the “bosses only give one opening after a 20 second combo” take. That’s not how these fights work, there are punish windows mid-combo, and using them makes fights more fun and exhilarating. This mindset is blinding you

@Hoffa9k @MechaGoddess I am aware that ER has a lot of great areas. It also has a lot of copy paste slop that is completely tedious to go through and absolutely nukes the game's replay value, something that has always been of paramount importance in these games.

@CoalaIE @MechaGoddess Astral clocktower, Fishing Hamlet, Shadow tower, Enir ilim, Stormveil castle, Leyndell, Farum Azula are just some of the examples of amazing levels and area design.

@Hoffa9k @MechaGoddess You might be right that they might've fully integrated the late game areas. No way of knowing for sure though. For me, as I've said, the late game works well enough and provides a satisfying conclusion.

@CoalaIE @MechaGoddess I never said the world is too small, just that the lordvessel isnt exactly necessary when the areas you speak of are not that far from each other. I truly believe had they gotten more time they would have fully integrated the late game areas like they did for the 1st half areas

@Hoffa9k @MechaGoddess Elden Ring has some top notch levels, don't get me wrong, but it also has vast swathes of empty nothingness spotted with a plethora of copy paste dungeons. Not saying there aren't exceptions but there is a lot of bland shit in Elden Ring as well.

@Hoffa9k @MechaGoddess None of that is innovation. It's iteration on an established formula. And I think it's very contentious to say that area and level design have gotten better as the series has progressed.

@Hoffa9k @MechaGoddess I don't know what you're arguing about here bro. Do you think the world is too small? I understand that DS1 can't measure to the scale of ER, but I actually prefer when the Souls games are scaled down, so I don't have to ride across vast empty spaces.

@CoalaIE @MechaGoddess Not when those 4 corners arent very far in the first place. New Londo is right below Firelink shrine, Lost Izalith is below Blighttown, Duke's archives is next to Anor Londo, and Catacombs leading to Tomb of the Giants is next to Firelink
