It is looking more and more like my suspicions regarding Elden Ring are true.
Much of the advice, on youtube, was created before the game was released. However, some to many of the quests involved with those videos... weren't able to be completed until AFTER patch 1.03. It looks like the people who have created much of the youtube content were given both early access, probably access to the devs who showed them how to "cheat" (if many of those cheats have been patched), and/or were given an easier version of the game.
The problem I am finding is, for keying, on the controller, with a ps4, there is often too much lag. Even when fighting a single boss. There shouldn't be any lag, save that it is created to develop some sort of... what... rpg element, in which each party gets just so many inputs per moment. And, either they slow the game down, so there is some chance of the a.i. not completely rolling reals (which is easy enough to do), or there is just a lot of background things going on, that the ps4 simply can't handle.
But, on the ps4, it means beating some bosses may not be possible on every game. Though, too, I have suspicion that devs are thin-skinned enough to go after people who complain. Legitimately or not. Yeah, they... really can. Following a post, like this, to the address, is child's play for a big enough company. And, souring the updates is likewise child's play. Making it impossible for some players to continue. And, it doesn't have to be based on negative reviews. At this point, being against the clot-shot, to knowing the acting president... or his handlers really... stole the election... would be types of things which would act against one. It's... all politics.
Anyway. It looks like it is best to erase this game. It is unbeatable. I have tried as many ways as possible. Further? Things I had, in game, are disappearing. Spells, and items, I have had to go get several times. Either the game is a flop, doesn't work on ps4, or as mentioned, there are... political point problems. This isn't me just giving up, it is me realizing that the game is rigged, or broken, and isn't worth extra effort. Too bad, it was fun until it became broken, mostly.
I'm reminded of a really dumbass mistake I made years ago: buying a used game off of eBay. Didn't run smoothly, froze up on me at inopportune times, etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteNever again. Pity, because when it worked the game was interesting.
Yes, well, in these times, it isn't ebay. It is amazon, the big game stores (only one left?), and straight off playstation or wherever they can be bought brand new. They come broken, out of the box, and only get worse. Patching, in this instance, for pvp'ers, on top of everything else, just adds insult to injury. I suppose pvp'ers are about all they can get and keep in their broken games?
ReplyDeleteFor you, it may not have been the ebay buy, simply... the way they program. Especially as they push into woke programmers. A dozen white guys to try and make the thing work right, and a horde of senstitives who can't program, but insist they be viewed as equals or betters even within the games. Gremlins to destroy any function, right purpose, or use.
Vox is right about at least one thing. The more a company tries to be politically correct, the less able it can do it's job. And, when perfectly woke, it is completely broken. That is literally the point of going woke, to break function. I'll bet they go union while at it?
