If it's too hard for you, practice. If not then don't play the game. 🤷🏽

Some games just aren't for everyone. Witcher 3 was universally praised, but I have a couple friends who just plain don't like it. I'm in that boat with everything FromSoftware has released. I just don't get the appeal of dying hundreds of times and calling it "fun"

Chard674d ago

Witcher 3 was universally praised for world building and story, but not for it's gameplay. That's not to say it had bad gameplay but plenty of people criticised its combat.
FromSoft's prioritisation of combat and world design elevates them above most other devs for me

DustMan671d ago

That's what I'm saying....some stuff just isn't for everybody. You like Souls like games, I don't. It's just that simple. I found the combat in Witcher 3 to be entertaining enough that I didn't find it as a total detriment to the game and actually found it enjoyable. BG3 is a completely different genre and some people may not find it "fun." Despite it being one of the most awarded games ever. It's all subjective. FromSoft stuff is unique, I just don't happen to have "fun" when I play their titles. However I can appreciate them for what they are.

DustMan671d ago

Downvotes for an opinion and the line "some games aren't for everyone" Incredible.

Chard671d ago (Edited 671d ago )

If I had to guess, it's much more likely they resulted from your opinion about FromSoftware games not being fun/appealing

DustMan670d ago

@ Chard, I've played all the FromSoft games. I WANT TO LIKE THEM. Bloodborne was incredible, and enjoyed it due to it's unsettling nature. It also had a more offensive approach that I enjoyed. Not going to lie and say I beat the game, but I found that the world building and unsettling environment to be absolutely top notch. Look. I'm not opposed to people enjoying their stuff (hell, I try). I'm just saying I'm not jumping over the moon for whatever they put out next. Unless it's a Bloodborne remake or remaster.

Spend your time fixing the PC performance of HD2

repsahj674d ago

I am level 120 right now. I play on Helldive difficulty only if I'm with groups, and level 7 when solo.

DustMan671d ago

Level 71, everything unlocked. Ship modules, stratagems, all the Warbonds etc etc. I really love the game, but I'm at the point now where I feel like I've got just about everything the game has to offer. Like you I solo level 7, and go higher when grouped up. I just have no reason to care about extracting with every single thing on a map anymore. Gonna need to beef up the content sooner rather than later.

why is that dumb? It's the same price everywhere else.

repsahj24d ago

Because it's Nintendo. Post negative first before analizing.

LiViNgLeGaCY23d ago

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.

LiViNgLeGaCY23d ago

@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".

Neonridr24d ago

Before anyone complains, this is the same price on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam. It comes with the Game and the DLC.

Elda24d ago

The game is $40 & the expansion is $40 so the price is right.

VersusDMC24d ago

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.

repsahj24d ago

This $80 version is also available on PS5 and XSX.

VersusDMC23d ago

@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...

GotGame81823d ago

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.
