Elden Ring is meant to be the evolution of the Souls formula. I wish FromSoftware would do something else instead.
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.
I think you simply burned yourself out with the previous souls games tbh. If you have platinum trophies in every souls game, it's no wonder you would be bored with the formula by now. For those of us moderates who might have only beaten a couple of souls games (Demon Souls, Dark Souls 3, and Bloodbourne to be precise - still working on finishing Sekiro), Elder Ring is an absolute joy.
Maybe you should give yourself a break from souls games for a while, go play some other games for a couple of months, then come back to it. You'll see how much of a difference it makes.
Wish they would make a new tenchu, makes me sad that they were making one but turned unto Sekirio instead 😕
After the way ER had sold I doubt they will do something else anytime soon. They have done some very underated games in the past so if they can return to that it would be awesome
I just feel like the days of AA games are done. Now it seems publishers are only interested in making huge AAA titles or we have the indie scene. The days of having mid size publishers are long gone. Not every games need 50 million dollar budget
What is this…
Elden Ring is a great game and great open world game but it's not the best Dark Souls type game. It does lose the atmosphere and some of what made Bloodborne and Dark Souls great by going open world. In the beginning it's cool seeing the new areas but you spend so much time in each area that eventually you know longer care about the open world aspect and just want to find that dungeon or thing you were looking for in the open world to move on. Also being able to get almost anywhere from the start does screw up the progression and some quests if you don't use a guide. If you go on the reddit there are a lot of people who don't know how important the side quests are and just follow the main quest and then they reach the Capital and say everything is too hard, or they don't have enough materials, or how were they supposed to find this NPC for some item they want. Then on the flip side there are the people who explore everywhere and find all the secret areas and items and then say the game is too easy and they aren't having fun because they got too strong doing areas they were meant to do later and are now back in mid game areas where they steamroll everything. Compared to a more curated linear design where things don't wear out their welcome and the progression is better to keep fights more balanced. I still love Elden Ring but i think they should keep the open world aspect to Elden Ring and it's sequels and if they make Dark Souls 4 or Bloodborne 2 return to the linear design.
