Re: Broken, Battered Elden Ring Players Review Bomb Shadow of the Erdtree for Being Too Hard

thechetearly

@nyr2k2 I describe Elden Ring and all souls like games to my non-gamer friends very similar to the risk in reward, addictive nature of casino games like blackjack. it’s the holding on to all your souls are and never knowing if around the corner, there’s gonna be some massive boss that’s gonna kill you. You’re gonna lose all of those and you might or might not make it back to that same spot to regain them. for me that is what keeps me coming back - at least one of the things. And there’s also nothing wrong at all with not liking the sorts of games. The warning is basically on the sleeve, so I think most gamers know what they’re signing up for when they play souls games.

I managed to play Part 2 not knowing that you get to play as another character (not naming names in case you too don't know this) and it was suuuuuch a sick surprise.

I remember coming to what I thought was the end and saying to my wife "huh...great game, but pretty short" and then moving to the second half of the game totally being blown away.

Re: Interest in Destiny 2 Reportedly at an All-Time Low

The biggest hurdle they have is onboarding new players. I think the Destiny universe looks super interesting, but after trying to get into it 3 seperate times now, I just find it way, way too daunting. Although, I'd imagine this is a similar issue for a lot of GAAS? Or maybe not?
