I wager because it comes out this week and given the depth of the game it's likely to soak up many, many hours of time that could be otherwise spent............
playing another kind of game.
By "playing another kind of game" I assume you meant masturbating. Yeah I don't buy it I have yet to see game that is so amazing it makes you ignore lustful urges. If you meant actually playing another game then I don't get it, way I see it is a have two great games in the bank. Its like knowing you will still have some leftover pizza for the next days.
Its an over hyped Souls game that a ton of people bought into. Personally Soul games are okay challenging games to get through with visual storytelling mostly, and usually with uninspiring melee combat.
Honestly I would find this game (Bio) to be more interesting in the melee if the melee worked better as well as the knife.
Its like we've learned nothing from cp77 and tlou2. Like we haven't already seen what happens when we over hype ourselves. I've read so many negative reviews about those two games because they "didn't live up to expectations" and by expectations I assume the reviewer's own expectations (I find them okay enough).
I'm not saying Elden Ring is gonna be bad but personally the Soul's series is overrated, fight me. It forces players to associate fun with frustration like I feel good about myself because I spent 5 hours dodge poking this dragon monster with a sword. For some reason I find Mortal Shell more entertaining and I'm close to spending 5 hours dodge poking a gorilla monster with a sword.
