Comparing Elden to a Ubisoft game for example definitely should be embarrassing for the guys over in France. Thats how ive felt about what The Witcher 3 did. All the detail in that world and they still lazily churn out the same game every few months and wonder why it goes stale.
And the sense of discovry in ER (Miyazaki games in heneral tbf) is something that you can basically only get in his games. Like i said from the get go those that get hooked on his method of lore delivery will only be able to get their fix from him. Its truly unique. I think for mass audiences that works against it in direct comparison to more organic methods but not because i think its bad at all. Just that when we get into the general perception its weaker.
But against my own point Sekiro, which is my favorite Miyazaki game, won GOTY and while the pack was pretty weak that year there was very little push back when it did. And ER is 5x more popular than Sekiro was. ER was CoD popular.
