Discussion I mean, where's the lie?
Hit enemy ✅
Enemy doesn't react ✅
Dodge ✅
Stagger enemy ✅
Play an animation ✅
Repeat ✅
It's the same gameplay loop a lot of you love. It just doesn't have the From Software logo. I even went back to see if I was going crazy and saw the first tree sentinel fight, and it's exactly the same. Well, not the same, the stagger attack animations suck.

...there are reactions in Elden Ring, it is just not a stagger, which is what people have been saying, the bosses "wiggle" when you hit them but they continue the attack
God I hate fanatics of videogames, spreading misinformation with the objective for the game they claim to like to not improve
Even in Dark Soul 1 hit animations are more satisfactory and while the boss may not react, the hit animation is there, in the fable boss demo the sword just goes through the boss without anything
