Can we please stop comparing EVERY SINGLE GAME to Elden Ring and/or Dark Souls?
Play more games so you have a bigger vocabulary.

Sorry but "Journalist" only knows 2 games LOL
Really struggling to grok what that title means and I don't want to bother finding the article because I feel like it's just clickbait.
Stardew Valley :: Dark Souls
Haunted Chocolatier :: Elden Ring
The meme is asserting that as Dark Souls and Stardew Valley are the origin games which were immensely improved upon in their successors: Elden Ring and Haunted Chocolatier.
Edit to add article link: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/if-stardew-valley-was-dark-souls-haunted-chocolatier-is-elden-ring-for-cozy-gamers/ar-AA1IoG1Y
Ahh, thank you
That metaphor was meaningless too me, I just kept thinking they were trying to make a confused statement on difficulty or something
Likewise, especially with the title being about stress. I know some people want to take Stardew slow and find some of the timed bits or rushing to repair the community center stressful, and I mentally linked that with difficulty.
How does anyone know? The game hasn't even been released yet as far as I'm aware.
Maybe all the bosses were leaked or something or the combat animations
This is the dumbest fucking comparison. There are much better ways to say "This is a culmination of all the work the studio has done in a bigger and better way."
I do wonder how many clicks would have been gotten if they wrote this in a normal way. It's really sad that people write in clickbaity manners, but if your revenue depends on views… Not sure how payment works for articles though.
Gamer word salad
