My first thought too

Also the biggest positive is the capability of fast traveling from your map from anywhere as long as you aren’t in combat.

It removes the hesitation to explore areas from which you can’t return easily.

That’s the biggest thing that made Elden Ring significantly less stressful for me.

Plus you don’t have to worry about weapon durability.

Thanks for the correction. I typically avoided the slim versions myself.

Every PlayStation generation had backwards compatibility followed quickly by a cheaper “slim” version without it.

I’ll never not upvote Red Faction.
