@monkebidnessКүн бұрын
No hate at all, but the comparison regarding the size of Elden Ring’s DLC to that of the Witcher 3 is very misrepresenting. They are both perfectly sculpted to do 2 completely different things. Erdtree is more Elden Ring. It’s a very beautiful and vast world that is primarily a combat experience with bits of story told throughout the world. Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are stories, the voice acting and quest crafting in B&W alone is massive and so is the explorable world. Two very different concepts, I believe to be nearly equal in scope and quality.

Ya but Dark Souls original had a way better world layout and design. It's intricate crisscrossing was fantastic. Elden Ring and the DLC in general are the largest "souls games" to date but 90% of it is open world, with too many catacomb "dungeons" and then you have the few standard "dungeons" where main bosses are. I wouldn't really classify it as bigger. The original game's illusion of scale was more impressive in my opinion. Even if objectively it was a shorter game.

when I was a kid I was told that gaming is for losers and I resented that sentiment. now the state of the gaming industry is totally different, and the more I look around the more I see how much of a shitshow mainstream gaming has become which only justifies their sentiment. the only reason why it's that way is because people keep buying games that run the industry into the ground. if nobody bought their games they would have no choice but to change what they're doing, it's that simple. it's time we either start boycotting things we don't like or shut the fuck up. too often do I see people complaining about things they contribute to by continually buying into things that turn out to be shit because they couldn't wait. that's the consumer mentality at play, the coomer consumer ejaculating over false promises and false claims because they thought something would be neat at the idea level when in reality they're just baiting you into blowing your idealistic load over a bunch of nonsense when you know damn well the won't deliver but they don't care because they know they can get you going just like that and they'll do it year after year until you either stop or keel over, and by then it will be too late because a whole new batch of consumers will take your place and they will repeat your failures because you refused to abstain from the coomer consumer lifestyle and thus the cycle repeats ad nauseam.

Unreal Engine and Unity have made their engines so intuitive that now you and your friends can make a video game in your spare time. Everyone grab your closest friends. Chip in for an amazing desktop PC with a 4090, an I9 (14th Gen) and 128 GBs of DDR5 RAM. Set up one profile that will be used to run unreal Engine (Unity had a higher cost) and set up remote software for your friends to log in.ake sure everyone has different work to do so you don't walk all over each other when logged in using multiple sessions for the same account and build a video game. Build your dream game. When you have a playable product start an LLC to limit the amount of taxes you have to pay. Them go to crowed funding platforms and show off your product and ask for funding so you can market the game and pay attorneys for the copywrite filings and work. Let me give you a hint about how lucrative this is. A guy and his wife made a video game where the player just runs around taking photos of amazing digital scenery. They made several million dollars off that game.Get your hustle back. Let's take advantage of these times and break these greedy publishers or publishers who are beholden to shareholders. We still have one free market out there. Let's fucking win!

I agree 💯 percent. From soft tried to make a game that basically forces multi-player and is open world to try to capitalize on that type of game since those games are very popular. Elden ring tried to do too much and ended up being just okay at everything instead of being good at a few things. Elden ring is far from being the magnum opus it is being held as. Elden ring is just as terrible as darks souls 1. I have played and beaten ds2 , ds3 and bloodborne ( I beat bloodborne with no summons or co op dlc included ) elden ring will never live up to the rest of the soulsborne games and that's a fact.

100% Agree. When I was younger, I played a lot of FFXI, which at the time had a lot of friction in the game world in relation to travel from place to place. As the player level and resources go up, the friction goes down, but it was still usually a bit of a hassle to get somewhere remote. You experience the wonder of strange new vast landscapes. Your first time, you may not have a map, or if you do, its a vague map. Its part of what made the experience memorable. It also cost you a lot of time and the game was extremely grindy.

When if they just used that effort to actually make a good game they wouldn't have to try at all making a game trailer trying to sell it. Whats really sad is nowadays the line between audience and studio is very very short and open. People literally tell you what they want, what games they like and what you did wrong. Microsoft is like "nah lets just keep doing the same sht over and over" Sony is like "nah lets just keep doing the same sht over and over" but in a good way lol.
