It's worse than Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario 3D World. But yes, it's a really good game.

Can we officially say that Elden Ring is going to snuff the demand for a Bloodbourne remake?

It wont gain wide appeal because it's too hard.
People will say oh yes, but it's more accessible than previous games. Yes, but there are still absolute roadblock bosses throughout the game that will crush the hope of most casual players from ever going deeper.
Still, it earned every point of it's score. It's easily in my top 3 games of all time. I saw someone in another thread say it's an Ocarina of time benchmark game and honestly that is a very large boot to fill but I cant remember the last time I felt such a sense of complete and utter immersion as playing through this. I literally forgot to eat for an entire day. I think it's been 15 years since I did that with a game.

it's a solid 80, but if you want an actual platforming masterpiece that deserves its rating consider Ratchet and Clank 1 (for the PS2, not the reboot) or if you just want more mario play 64 instead

Not for me, I really didnt enjoy Galaxy 1 and 2, I respect they are great games but not my prefered type of Mario Platforming.
But Ive learnt they are classed as different types of 3D Mario games.
Mario 64, Sunshine and Odyssey - Sandbox
Galaxy 1 and 2 - Linear
Mario 3D Land etc - Cant remember what they are called lol

I don't normally care about ratings, especially when I know its made by a developer who's games I love. But its good to see it getting huge respect

That's gaming I guess; different strokes for different folks! I didn't like Undertale at all but P5R is in my top 5 of all time.

What time is it?
Odyssey is great and all but a lot of the collected moons are complete braindead filler.

I feel like From will let us enjoy ER for a few months , and drop a Bloodborne remake bomb out of no where.
Edit: Or a sequel!

Probably not in the long run though. Why not remake it?

I thought Mario Odyssey was good, but not great. Way too easy, even compared to other Mario titles, and the arty styles clashed so hard.
Galaxy 1 and 2 are leagues better.

I'm not saying they won't. I"m just thinking that this game will be much more popular over the long haul.

That's Sony's decision to make.

has been asked to post in 'Grounded' mode.
At least it holds its own. It'll likely do another 20 million. 2022 is exceptional already

Probably. I think a bit of its hype is centered around it being an exclusive.

This is hard to say man. On one hand, the success of Elden Ring means Sony would have to offer a buttload of money to From in order to make a new Bloodborne. Because if you could make money off your own franchise, why would you put effort on others?
On another hand, the success of Elden almost ensures that nobody will trust Bloodborne 2 if it isn't from From.
The best we can hope is Bluepoint making a remake

Souls games haven't this high so we will see. but All others in the top 10 are multi-million sellers.
This also drives content creators. They in turn push sales the most these days. Some new players will drop off and revert to passive gaming. but others will love the thrill. DS started on PS3 with barley a couple 100k players. grew slow but steady.
Before ED, Souls already had a solid multi million purchase base. Now with an open world setting, a popular mainstream name attached and a growth system that can give you an OP build that keeps you progressing through the world, Souls should have the biggest growth yet.
(OP builds per SkillUp, they weren't that decisive in previous Souls games)

Temporarily, for how long who knows, but they'll start up soon enough.
They can't be reasoned with, they can't be bargained with. They don't feel pity or remorse or fear and they absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead.

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
I am a primary PS5 owner but also own a swith. Odyssey deserves all that praise. The game is platform perfection.
This is from the tweet in the op, but yes for some inexplicable reason Odyssey is a 97. It's hilarious.
Edit - welp, Elden Ring is a 96 now.

You were nailing this until you ended with "until you are dead" instead of "until there is a remake."
Dang it Farley.

You know, I was going to alter that bit but figured I should just stay true to my boy Kyle Reese and not mess with such a classic quote. You've shown me the error of my ways though, opportunity missed.
Damn son.
why would one great game eliminate demand for a remake of a similar yet different great game
though at what open critic score does elden ring fans triumph switch to suicide watch because the world isn't fair? 93? 94?

Does the reviews clarify whether and why Elden Ring is notably better than the Dark Souls series? I loved the first Dark Souls (in my top 10), Quite liked DS2, but got a massive case of fatigue playing DS3. From the gameplay footage I've seen its VERY much more Dark Souls, just in a more open setting.

My opinion is when its a game in a genre I've enjoyed before, and a 9 is the low outlier, they matter quite a bit to me.
