You can keep a boss fight challenging without overcomplicating it.
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.
This is like saying simulation racing games are better than arcade racing games which are in turn better than kart racing games. They all serve their own purpose and their own audience needs. There is no right or wrong here.
I get the author may prefer Cuphead boss fights over Elden Ring, I just want to say what I did to remind others that there isn't one "right answer" to game design.
Really non sense comparison....
You’re comparing side scrolling Boss Battles of a Contra nature to a 3D game’s boss battles? What’s next, Mario bosses are better than Final Fantasy bosses?
Apples to Sumo Oranges comparison .
I know the elden ring stans wont accept it but it really does imo. Each phase is so unique and different where as elden ring bosses are essentially just hit run wait for big telling attacks roll hit repeat.
