Elden Ring Reveal Trailer | Microsoft Press Conference E3 2019

Beyond the fact that this is a videogame, I know nothing else about it after watching that trailer........ I mean, WTF!?!?!?! Still, after Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne and Sekiro, I'll give anything From Software does a shot!

Finish the books, George...

This looks really good

Ah... it's nice to have big names backing the story and lore of a game and all, but... seriously, WTF was that?!

Sometimes these Asian ideas come with way too much incomprehensible stuff that's probably being sold to us, Westerners, with the mentality that "it's interesting mystery" or something like that, but no, it isn't. A mystery is only as interesting as its satisfying conclusion in the end, once you understand what it was all about. Adding a bunch of incoherent signs or things in a scene doesn't make it mysterious; it makes it just that: incoherent/incomprehensible.

It reminds me of the difference between the very first Silent Hill on the first PlayStation, which was a great horror mystery game with a clear objective and enough explanation for the mysteries going on, and pretty much all the sequels until the 11th or wherever we are today with SH, which are almost all a bunch of incoherent stuff jumbled together in a game. Just because it's ugly and scary, it really doesn't make it interesting in the horror genre. Heck, even when the serial killer in a horror doesn't have a clear motive, you can at least get the sense that their motive is sick fun... or something. However, when you don't understand anything of what's going on, or why weird creatures are the way they are, there's really no fun in that.

I really wish more Asian writers and designers understand this about most Western mentalities: We want a little bit to understand in the beginning (not nothing like in this trailer) and we want to understand pretty much everything by the end of it.

The quality (or lack there of) of Game of Thrones aside, the lore of Game of Thrones was not particularly creative, just the late middle ages combined with a bunch of already overused Epic Fantasy tropes. You want to impress me, collaborate with Steven Erikson, Ian Esslemont or Brandon Sanderson.

Wtf was that
