Honestly, it's the open-worldness of "Elden Rings" that has kept me
from playing it more than anything. I wasn't a big fan of the Dark
Souls games to start with, but I could at least admire the design even
if I didn't actually enjoy the gameplay. But that admiration could
only carry me so far; an average playthrough of those games is, what,
thirty hours or so?* That's about how long I could tolerate the games
before I had to move on to something else.

 The only games I can think of that I've played more than thirty hours of are FO:3/NV and Skyrim. You might see a pattern there in that they all have content that is bolstered by lots of different stories/environments/things to do, in the game that keep my interest up. ER doesn't sound like the type of gameplay I like at all but putting that aside even if I did I think I'd be unlikely to go much past twenty five hours or so as it sounds that the gameplay will just get to repetitive for me at that point.
 Overall even for games that I'd say I really liked there's quite a few that I only finished because I wanted to see the end even though my interest was really waning.

I think I might just be done with souls games. I played a little bit with my newb helper character and that wasn't doing it for me.  I started Demon Souls (game by Fromsoft before Dark Souls) it's fine. I'm just not really interested in that gameplay any more.  I think perhaps Elden Ring was so long and repetitive that I don't want to play like that any more.
I'm really enjoying EDF with my daughter when she wants to play it, but need to find something else to play when she doesn't.
