Elden ring, is a good game, not the best one. Some of the problems they fixed made more problems, and vice verca. But the game is definetley not good in multiplayer, and builds, I can't seem to find any point in the game where having a quality build will make it fair, so for me, I have to be forced to focus msot of my points onto something that isn't Vigor, which causes me to then use meta weapons, since nearly 100% of the time, every non-meta weapon isn't fun to use without using a super op ash of war, I like games when they're fair and feel fair, but the pvp is terrible, since everyone has a meta build which can be VERY annoying, and the amount of times people have spammed Rivers of Blood (which hasn't been nerfed well at all) is countless, the amount of words I have on the topic of Rivers of Blood is unbellivable, and 90% of the "duels," you have are with people are noticably laggier, the servers are really bad with matching people in the same region (unless cross-region is on) and most invasions are now pointless, since each of them are ganks, I can't find any more fun with the game anymore after +2, that's really all it took for me to get bored at the game unlike DS3, DS2, and the original DS1. I can't even find a good match because my build isn't up to the meta standards.
Good game, bad multiplayer, but it seems to just be lacking in replayability.
With the Dark Souls series, I had something to look forward to, be it destroying a gank squad, dealing with the hilariously bad hitboxes, or just good ol' dark souls.
I dislike everything with the multiplayer, and the decision to NOT nerf meta weapons.
