The DNA of Intrepid Studios.

That is one hell of a comment. Gonna go buy some chips and read through it bit by bit.

edit: got through it. Good post and I agree with a few points, but got nothing really to say on top of that.

Having read it all, I believe my reaction is the same as usual to your post type, so I won't degrade/deface this thread with my opinions.

But I definitely did read it all, and it was well put-together, for me. I thank you for that.

We have not received permission from MybroViajero to share the quoted post.

In this case it's just that we have really strong differences of opinion on the interpretations of things, but it would easily be possible for them to be just that, opinions.

There's nothing I could really say that would be a valid, clear counter to:

"The living example of this is Elden Ring , GOTY 2022 , the most acclaimed game of recent times that is nothing more and nothing less than another Soul formula but knows how to generate in the player those emotions that make the game so enjoyable ( here put examples of what you talked about ER in the forum )."

I can't 'prove' that this take is flawed. There's nothing to 'prove'. That's the sort of thing I meant. I just disagree so heavily with your premises that sometimes your conclusions seem bizarre, but what I would want is to argue with your conclusions.

That makes no sense unless we agree on the premises, and I doubt that will happen.

I didn't see any mistakes or misinformation that I recognized, so from that perspective of actually improving the discussion, you're golden.
