No arguing it's a good game, but I'm also pretty tired of playing the same game over and over. And with a much bigger game like this, would it hurt to have some more user friendly interface to tell you where you've been, what bosses you've killed and how many items are left in an area. Or just even a quest log. As I don't think I could even get halfway through this without a guide. Coming back to it after 6 months I almost felt like just starting over. Every other open world game has this, but From seems to just refuse to be innovative after they struck gold with demon's souls.

Also, stop it with the platforming and massive bosses. Jumping from small platforms or crawling around thin branches is ok for one area, as it's been in every game, but here it just gets tiresome. As for the large scale bosses, I don't understand how anyone enjoys those fights. Run half a mile to reach the, they jump or fly away, then you have to go hunt them down. Then they do aoe attacks on the ground or swoop in from the sky, but your camera is always in the wrong spot. Or you can't even see your character while locked on. Then they push you around while you already don't know where you are as you try to swing at their feet while a wing or something keeps you from reaching it. It just gets so tiresome. And if they want to keep having these bosses, at least try to design it well.
