Is Elden Ring truly the goat? Post a screenshot of your current character *pre-shadow of the goattree hype*

Can’t be the GOAT with no narrative, and please don’t tell me about reading shyt on items.









Souls fans need to understand shyt is a niche, if they actually did something story wise you would have more people invested. I don’t see why GRRM was even involved when you still applied the same old formula.

The game sold 20+ million copies so far, and various Lore channels average 1 million+ views per video.

Fromsoft's type of story-telling may not be better than traditional story-telling, but it is novel enough. Fromsoft's storytelling adds more value to the game to me because it is truly about learning by discovering that a lot of games/media lacks.

I was talking about the souls franchise as a whole. Just because one sells like that doesn’t apply to everything as a whole. The genre is no more mainstream than say the CRPG franchise thanks to Baldurs gate 3.

We gotta stop calling games that sell 10 million plus copies niche lol

It’s one of the few games where everyone in the Arcadium puts the console wars to the side, it has to be in GOAT contention on the strength of that

Greatest game of all time in my opinion

Not in a world where Baldurs gate 3 exists.

















Yes I know opinion being key word.

Fair enough but I will stand by my point regarding their method of story telling.
