Elden Ring is a massive, complex game with a huge number of systems that aren't always clearly explained or obvious to the player.
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.
Elden Ring doesn't tell you how crap the graphics are, and how inconsistent the framerate is. I'm playing on PS5 and although it is a fantastic game it's so badly optimised! Even when playing in Favour Resolution mode the game has this fuzzy, blurry appearance, and that framerate is just nasty. It's not much better in performance mode tbh.
Seems it's a problem with all versions of the game. I hope they can fix it. Great game, badly optimised
How to not suck
Great little article, no spoilers and basically the same questions I spent a lot of time trying to get answered.
The game is severely poorly optimised, no reason why this game shouldn’t be just quality mode 60fps, still it’s fun and that’s king. Here’s hoping from soft get with it this gen and fix shit.
I know what the reviewers didn't tell us, they didn't tell us how badly optimised it was and ignored it completely when handing the game a 10/10.
