"Xbox players need to get good": Unless Elden Ring on Xbox is Twice as Hard, We Now Have Damning Proof that Xbox Players are Half as Good as Their PlayStation and PC Counterparts

Elden Ring is the pinnacle of the Soulslike genre and, fortunately, the developers did not lock this genre on one platform for everyone to enjoy. Players are

I think the statistic speaks for itself. Elden Ring isn't even on Gamepass so that's not a valid excuse for this completion rate discrepancy.

 

[Saber]

I don't like the percentage of PS and Steam either. He is tame compared to that Malenia bitch.

Considering the average completion rate for a video game is 10-20% or whatever, 34% and 38% is quite high and speaks to how committed most ER players are

Also Malenia is a completely optional boss

Yeah, I've seen games that have trophies which are just "start the game" and it's in the 90% lol

Does anybody care about this shit?

Well I beat Mogh on Xbox (by jumping over the wall so he didn't activate, then chipping away at his health bar for about 15 minutes while he just stood there).

Screw that game.

And nobodies gives a crap about facts.

They're still working on getting 100% in Starfield, They'll get there.

Wasn't Mohg an optional boss prior to this?

All I took from this post is that you need to beat that stupid ass boss called mogh to play the dlc.

So buy the dlc and beat him. It's not really that big of a deal.

I love From Software but Elden Ring is too easy and boring as hell.
I quit after the first castle.
Went back to another Sekiro playthru.

Left trigger, right trigger.

This is not true, good accessible games will have a higher completion percentage than FromSoft games. For example, GoW 2018 on PS is somewhere between 40-50%.

So is Mogh.

This percentage only shows that when the game presents optional things, players tend to choose an easier route.
Elden Ring is alot tamer in comparison with Bloodborne. This only shows people play games terribly, I'm honestly baffled that even with the help of other players, summons and cheese this game still has this percent. This people stand no chance against the DLC, and the DLC has no trophies.

Good game, not a cup of my tea. Bought it, enjoyed first chapter. Wasn't fun as sekiro which made me rage alot.

On other hand, my brother completed the game.

You should play Stellar Blade, it's very Sekiro-like in that it's focused heavily on parrying and countering

GamePass definitely incentivizes players to move on from games quickly.

 

[Sacred]

227 hours here, beat it three times on Xbox.

Typical PS5 Elden Ring players:

 

[Northeastmonk]

I've seen stuff online about putting your summon sign down and help people out on release. Do it now so you don't have to stand there to start the DLC later.

Quit after Godrick and says it was boring and too easy

Might have even quit after Castle Morne in the Weepin Peninsula.

You think Sekiro is hard?

lmao. Go play Bloodborne.

 

[DavidGzz]

Well, I bought it on X and Steam to support From Software but only really play it on PC. Sorry, guys. I'm part of the problem.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

That's much higher than I expected on Xbox honestly.

 

[feynoob]

GamePass definitely incentivizes players to move on from games quickly.

Not really. This is one of those cases where percentage doesn't mean that much.

Game sold 25m copies.

If Xbox sold 5m, that means 800k-1m people completed the game. That is more people completed the game, compared to other Xbox games on gamepass.

And now I wonder if the completion data is accurate or not. Because 1m people is alot.

 

[Sacred]

You think Bloodborne is hard go play DS2.

 

[Fake]

You think Bloodborne is hard go play DS2.

More hard than Dark Souls thats for sure. Try beat the DLC bosses at NG+.

And Sekiro have a revive mechanic LOL.

I was just trying to keep it going lol. Agreed though for sure.

No excuses... is the easiest "souls" game by a freaking mile and a half.... easy modes all around.

I don't know..I don't want to touch elden ring even with a stick i hate soulslikes.. (only bc I can't play them,too noob )

 

[AJUMP23]

I 100%'d Elden Ring on Xbox.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Quit after Godrick and says it was boring and too easy

Its more the snooze fest open world design. I cant do it - no thanks.
Im more of an Armored Core From fan anyways - souls is too played out.

And yes - Elden Ring is probably the easiest 'for the masses' From Software game theyve ever developed - this isnt controversial.

You think Sekiro is hard?

lmao. Go play Bloodborne.

Uh...yes? Sekiro is far more difficult and engaging than Elden Ring could ever hope to be. I fell asleep playing ER, no joke.
I blame the open world - cant stand any open world game actually.

 

[feynoob]

I don't know..I don't want to touch elden ring even with a stick i hate soulslikes.. (only bc I can't play them,too noob )

It's fun honestly. It's like an RPG game. Kill enemies, level up and kill more enemies.

 

[Kerotan]

Xbox players have the attention span of a tik tok video.

 

[starfire1978]

Game got boring after a few hours. Just moved on.

 

[rapid32.5]

It's always GamePass effect you can blame. Too many games, too little time.

 

[The Pleasure]

You got all the gamerscore on elden ring? Is this who they're talking about?

What do you attribute the disparity to then?

Taste. I bought the game on xbox, but havent played that much.

Its easier to get involved in the hype sector. Did that with hogwart legacy. Havent finished ch1. Its been 1 years since then.

Why would taste be different between XBox and PlayStation players?

 

[Beechos]

It's funny I can't do souls like but games like cuphead and returnal are a piece of cake. I was also good at the ninja gaiden games.
