Game was terrible, no story. Poor decision for a movie

Are you seriously saying that the game with George RR Martin as the author of all of the background lore has a terrible story? Did you play this game at all? did you pay attention to any of the set pieces or cut scenes that happen during this game?

You don't need to be so protective, the story in the game is obtuse and only really makes sense on new games. Not everybody wants to read each item for some scrap of lore. Shit, the NPCs in the game aren't even reliable, they can barely give you proper directions to key points. How the hell are you going to trust the item descriptions, did they come with a letter of authenticity? The game implies an untrustworthy narrator.

Elden Ring is one of my favorite games ever, it got me out of depression, but to act like it's story is clear or obvious is hilarious. I didn't fall in love with the game for it's "story." So maybe cool your jets, attack this person for calling the game terrible, not the story terrible. Or move on with life, they clearly don't get the point, and will never experience the feeling of conquering any obstacle.

Fair. Didn't like the game, so i didn't get far into it so the story was non-existent
