unrealistic

they didnt laugh at the second appearance

And I will spend 500 hours playing the same game all over again.

Elden Ring was so fucking good. Clearly unfinished and like probably not half of what they actually wanted to make, but goddamn what a game

This meme in all its forms really annoys me, because all the item descriptions and NPC dialogues DO mean something, they often trace out very interesting background stories either in the text itself or from the placement of items, in an extremely natural and detailed form of environmental storytelling. There is no meaningless gibberish, people just blaze past and don't think about anything, and then complain they don't understand what's going on or that it's nonsensical. I watched a friend play Sekiro and it was so frustrating to watch him skip through basically every NPC's dialogue, and then he didn't know why he was doing anything he was doing!

It's just like, I play through Elden Ring and see the pinnacle of this art, telling stories in some cases with literally no words, just the placement of objects in space, knowing how much time, effort and creativity must have gone into the process and then people say "it's all just random, the people making this game are stupid and you're stupid for pretending there's any pattern".

Like, if you want a two-hour effort post just ask me about the foreshadowing of the Three Fingers throughout the course of the game.
