i'm not that surprised it is time to move on from elden ring and make an actual new game

So is having a foursome. It's a test of endurance and wit.

I really, really do not like this change of direction. It's frankly just baffling to see a single player-focused game get pivoted to multiplayer, and that'd be true even if I had any interest in MP games.

It's a quick way to make money by charging less and reusing game assets.

I got an early retail copy yesterday and after 5h playing solo yep I can confirm. I can't even kill the first night bosses.

For reference I have played Souls games since Demon Souls PS3 and I never had any issue on any of their games (even ER DLC pre-nerf)

I am getting wrecked in Nightreign.

It feels the game does not scale at all: I watched some streamers play trio yesterday and they took the same amount of damage as me and the mobs seem to have the same amount of health.

Defuk, test your fucking game maybe?

(Game is great tho)

You sound like a professional gaming "journalist". "This game is broken. 9/10."

 

[Mr Reasonable]

if you wanna play solo, why not just play elden ring?

Surely the answer is that they have completed that game repeatedly already?

Why?

I am just a random guy who got the game early and post his feedback.

Chill out bro, it's just video games.

Why would you ever buy this game to play it solo? That's like playing an extraction shooter solo without any teammates nor opponents, just the PVE element. There are better games for that.

For souls players that play everything? There aren't.


This game is basically focused on the combat of Elden Ring but with more challenge (build randomization) and I love it. I loved the beta and I am counting the seconds for the release.


I get that many enjoy souls games for other reasons that this game doesn't fulfill, this game is for people that likes the challenge and wants more replaybility. During the beta, I enjoyed playing with randoms, I even had a lot of fun trying to carry inexperienced players.


Its all about the challenge for me, since I really enjoy the gameplay loop. The game being harder on solo is a great thing for me.

But again... I get it, if someone mostly enjoy souls games for the level design, exploration and other things.... This game is not for them and that's fine, its a 40 usd game aimed at a very specific type of player.

Meanwhile....


People used to Elden Ring shouldn't have much trouble solo (obviously that excludes 95% of game reviewers).

Is this the legendary one difficult fine tuning fromsoft balancing i heard about in the doom sliders topic??

I mean, I know why they do it. I also don't care about how well it does for their business. That ain't my problem.
