Hidetaka Miyazaki has spoken up a bit about the Elden Ring delay, and mentions how the dev team is focused on temp to avoid player boredom.
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition for Switch 2 appears on Amazon as a game key card, priced at $79.99 with expansion included.
Because this is the ONLY version you can buy on the S2, correct? I don't think you can buy just the game for $60 like the other platforms. And if I'm wrong about this, then I take it back.
@repsahj - Dude, shut up. I like Nintendo a lot, actually. I just want the option to get the base game for $60 WITHOUT the DLC. I've done plenty of "analyzing".
Before anyone complains, this is the same price on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam. It comes with the Game and the DLC.
The standard edition physical should have been 40 then with the expansion seperate. Why normalize 80 dollar games? Specially ports of old games.
If people accept this might as well make physical 80 dollar deluxe versions only.
@repsahj
The ps5 has the standard version and the 80$ version so it gives you the choice...on switch 2 physical you can only buy the 80 dollar version.
I guess since they got the data that less than half of elden ring players beat the game and would probably not buy the DLC, they decided to just not make it an option and charge more...
Like it or not, the vast majority of game sales are digital. Just like movies, and music. At least Gamekey cards are shareable and you can sell them.
A newly uncovered piece of cut content from Elden Ring has revealed an intriguing plot thread that never made it into the final game.
Red Dead Redemption 2 mod turns the game into Elden Ring, adding spells, boss fights, and Uncle as the final boss.
Covid will affect games also on 2022.
So many people will read this as Elden Ring Delay and just have a heart attack there
Sounds like balancing issues. My speculation is from their trials they found quite a few testers able to "break" the balance perhaps by becoming too powerful too early. This is generally an issue with open world games because it becomes more difficult to control player progression than in linear games.
Soooo if the tempo is trash and we are bored playing the game, does that mean we've been bamboozled?
I’m so glad they made sure fun is the center of it and not just opening it up for the sake of opening it up. So many open world games just depend on fetch quest and have a lot of emptiness in between.
I really lose interest in open world games like that due to the nature of just nothing to do. That’s why games with lots of traversal options get me more interested then anything else. Not just driving a car/horse or quick travel. But flight, parkour have always been higher interest to me.lol
