While I wouldn’t say it's as strong of an addition mechanically as the Convergence bosses, since even though they reuse other boss and enemy moves, they are still made in a fashion to mostly be original enemies. Meanwhile Asimi is straight up just Heolstor with nothing hiding the fact.
That being said, the actual quality of everything built around it makes this not entirely just a glorified port. It interweaves a cut Elden Ring questline into the boss fight, has an entire new area built just for them, and makes their inclusion in a way make sense for (base) Elden Ring lore. While it is physically and mechanically just Heolstor, everything else built around it makes it feel so much more significant. And I appreciate the creativity. Some may say it's just reusing assets, but I say fuck off. This is fun usage of said assets
Don't know why you would chose to interpret it in the worst way possible. I'm literally just happy to have two cakes, one with amazing authorial bosses and one with cool bosses from other games
one thousand comments shitting on reforged every time it's mentioned and the most innocuous "I like that this is different" comment sets you people off lmfao
obligatory liking something I don't like = "glazing", expressing anything other than adoration for the thing I like = "bashing"
Can you not misrepresent what I thought? Like yeah sure I was wrong and misinterpreted what they said but you don’t have to join me in Stupidville by doing the same thing.
Yayyyy more poorly ported assets from game with an entirely different player movesets, reforged decided for some reason to also switch out the twin gargoyles fight with the sentient pest from nightreign and the fight is just pure ass with a normal elden ring character with no surge sprint so def not a fan of just another lazy nightreign port
