      A fitting thing to be the top comment on a post like this, but the other guy’s version on the earlier post was so much better.

      An almost theatrical performance, felt like I was really there seeing the journalist try it. Actively coming to the realization that it was not a useful strategy. I have no link, I can only relay my recollection as tribute to the original verbiage I enjoyed so much.

    I love ER’s messaging system, feels far more complex and expressive than in other installments!

    I have a thing for leaving cryptically poetic messages which (I hope) click just at the last second, an “a-ha!” type thing. Also, the emotes are deliciously theatrical!

    I’ve never likes the multi-player aspects of soulslikes. I tried ER as intended for a bit, but I swapped to offline a few hours in. The messages can be helpful, and are often funny, but I just find it messy and busy, and like the more quiet experience without.

      That’s perfectly fine. The online component is entirely opional after all and if you’re not into co-op play or invasions, you’re fine just playing offline in favour of not seeing messages
