Awesome, Nightreign is not my kind of game but if I had to pick a gaas to take off, it would be the elden ring one.

It's not a live service game at all,what makes you say it's a GAAS? Being a multiplayer title that will eventually have paid DLC? There's no MTX in the game, no battle passes, no subscription model. It's a one-time purchase that you never need to invest another dime in to get to full experience. Even if I wanted to spend more money on Nightreign I can't, there's no microtransactions possible
 
Kinda feel the opposite. The long wait made it feel like Elden Ring 2 rather than a rather long expansion.
It felt like ER2 because of the size and quality of the dlc, not because they made us wait over two years. If you're someone that has played ER for like 150h, and stopped, i am sure you were very excited for the dlc because you didn't burn yourself on ER, but this game was nolifed by so many that by the time the dlc was released, even if the dlc is amazing, it's just not enough to get people back. After around 1.4k hours in ER/dlc, i completely skipped Nightreight because i simply cannot handle fighting the same enemies, with the same animations, seeing the same aesthetic, using the same weapons/items, etc. Its just a god damn overdose of ER at this point, i can't handle it anymore.
 
Now imagine how many more copies they could have smuggled into our libraries if they stealth dropped this like the Oblivion Remake. Before anyone had a chance to evaluate it and see if it was for them. I'm a From Cultist, but I don't do much dedicated online play, so I simply passed on it. Knowing I wasn't the target audience. The only online franchise that has really captured my attention and time is Killing Floor. Shame the company went under after KF2, never to be seen again or spoken of in public spaces. Just gone from the realm. Vanished. I often wonder what amazing things a third entry in the series would bring us, but alas, it will never happen.
