for me it's the open world stuff that makes elden ring feel really long. dark souls 2 is a longer game but it feels more fresh because im walking through creepy castles instead of doing imprecise platforming on a goat to pick up my 537th Golden Rune [1] because idk if the white spark i saw on that cliffside is something cool or something lame

actually just saw this mod that removes the open world and makes it just a legacy dungeon game ong gonna try this for my next playthrough jevil-bounce

dark souls 2 enjoyers xigma-male

i disagree on DS2 being longer. Maybe that's just because I've played it so much that I can knock out a run pretty quick but even still it's a fraction of the size

yeah fair, I was thinking more of like just the meaningful legacy dungeon content, huge swaths of elden ring playtime is travel time
