How can this be interpreted other than that you'd have as many nickels as nickels you've nicked

How can this be interpreted other than that you'd have as many nickels as nickel...
i mean it could be interpreted as when you nick a nickel you receive a nickel too
as a reaction
so then the amount of nickels you'd get for nicking one nickel would be two

But what if you've nicked more than 1 nickel

The open world kinda fucks elden ring a bit too
The way they executed open world is sorta what’s mainly appealing about ER imo
weary tapir
I think it’s fine but the scaling gets so iffy
And on repeat playthroughs
It’s like
tawdry valley
There are a couple of roadblocks - but those are always the centerpiece of the game’s playable area
weary tapir
“Ok I did all that for one item I’ll never use ever”
tawdry valley
like how every castle towers in the distance - but only one at a time
coarse leaf
I think it’s fine but the scaling gets so iffy
That was a very big problem of mine yeah, I was overleveled hard for all of my first playthrough
tawdry valley
“Ok I did all that for one item I’ll never use ever”
That’s a rpg thing to be fair
and yeah, leveling made no sense for a while
weary tapir
It wasn’t really an issue in other fromsoft titles
tawdry valley
well yeah cause farming was pointless most of the time
weary tapir
Here’s a bad take I believe in
tawdry valley
When you could just kill the big bad
lament lotus
“Ok I did all that for one item I’ll never use ever”
this happens on every game
coarse leaf
Also the open world only works up until a certain point, the repeated content makes stuff like catacombs in the endgame absolutely stupid
weary tapir
Here’s a bad take I believe in
I like that sekiro locks you into the sword
Every boss is balanced around that thing
coarse leaf
Also the open world only works up until a certain point, the repeated content ma...
Its really really good, until youve seen the variations, and then just regular exploring is pointless
tawdry valley
I think it works
You don’t like a specific catered playstyle. You just dislike the feeling that your chosen playstyle has disadvantages
I love big meaty thwacks. And landing parries in sequence
weary tapir
I just think that when every boss is designed around a specific playstyle like in sekiro the game is much more fun
tawdry valley
Not everyone liking sekiro is the main counterpoint here
ER can have varied combat as well as well designed combat
weary tapir
Yeah which is why it’s a controversial ish game in the souls community
It’s different

Elden ring is a great game
A great game!
I just don’t like it
tawdry valley
Not sure what your gotcha here is, I literally agreed again
There isn’t one

Elden ring is a great game
in all seriousness i feel you, i love elden ring but hate bloodborne

Besides dungeons and certain miniboss spam ER has very little asset reuse
This is compared to like. Every other open world game ever
coarse leaf
Tbf most open world games, or well, their open world, are also just bad
cunning geode
oh its great. super distinct from the rest of the official lineup which makes sense because Xaser headed it. the new enemies and flame weapons replacing the plasma ones is fun and i think its a good stepping stone for players looking to try something official but also weird, which could open them up to exploring more community projects
emphasis on weird btw some levels are really fucked

You’re correct but ER is probably the best one out there period is the point I’m making

I dont know why were talking about ER now but I dont disagree, even though even it has the same flaw at the end of having a slightly too big scope, making the reuse in the endgame very apparent and boring

i'll show you important context
cunning geode
cedar trench
at the end of the day it was an outlet for the protagonist to feel fun
what made it horrific was the way the protagonist used "fun" as a way to cope with his shitty life circumstances
and so he used the tie (a manifestation of sillyness and cheer) as a conduit for self destructive thoughts that in his head helped him medicate himself
and so the tie went from beautiful to horrific, not because of something the tie did
but because it's another face of the protagonist, just like volition, just like half light, just like electrochemistry
