    Compared to Shadow of Mordor this feels punishing in a way that actually respects your time instead of padding it with icons everywhere, but does that kind of design even have a shot against flashier open worlds in these duels?

  2. Frame_Rippin

    decent expansion package but the base combat feel is looser than the rest of the series, hard to ignore that

    eso del combate flojo yo tampoco lo noté tanto, las zonas del DLC le dan otro nivel al conjunto entero.

    Replayed this last winter during a slow stretch at work and the hitboxes still feel off compared to what I remembered, the atmosphere carried me through anyway.

    la sensación de que sea el más flojo de la saga se nota, aunque las zonas nuevas del DLC compensan bastante... no sé, para mí sigue mereciendo la pena.

    I keep coming back to this one mainly because of the DLC areas, they're honestly some of the best stuff FromSoftware ever built into an expansion, so yeah, biased.

    Picked this up during a rough patch after a breakup and just wandered through the DLC zones for weeks, didn't rush anything, didn't talk to anyone about it either, it just became the thing I did every night before bed and somehow that emptiness fit perfectly with how I felt.

    It's a solid entry but the weakest Souls, that ranking feels about right honestly.

    Irma_76

    I picked this up right after moving cities, killed the time between boxes... good company honestly.

    336ème c'est une blague, un Souls avec tout le contenu inclus mérite clairement mieux que ça.

    VinylOwl

    Compared to Shadow of Mordor this one actually demands patience instead of handing you power fantasies.

  8. LuckyMaster

    336 con ese ELO no tiene sentido, es mejor que eso.

    NovaLegend

    Votes here just punish it for not being the first one, that's the real pattern.

    Fair point on the votes thing, but this one specifically gets punished for feeling like the odd entry out.

    Harvey73

    Isn't the ranking just reflecting what people already suspected about this one being weaker?

    L'entrée "à part" reste quand même plus ambitieuse que ce que proposait Shadow of Mordor à sa sortie.

  9. LootAce

    No sé si me equivoco pero un ELO de 1744 en el puesto 336 me parece bajo para todo lo que ofrece esta edición, aunque tampoco sé cuánto pesa realmente el ranking.

    NovaAce2

    1744 is way too low for this, the DLC alone should push it higher, people just vote on nostalgia for the first game!
