From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

Anybody would like to take a stab at deciphering this shit? 'Cause i have no idea what he is trying to say here.

It sounds like he's saying that there is going to be a baseline power upgrade layered on top of your existing character build. So possibly something to make progression smoother in the DLC content to account for a large margin of RL's coming in. Maybe something to mitigate that kind of possible RL100 through 160 that might be entering the DLC?

So maybe the DLC is tuned for RL160-165 and if you enter it at those levels, you could just ignore the DLC specific power-ups? That's the best guess I've got.

This seems like a relevant piece of info:

Miyazaki: As for the system, a DLC-only level-up element has been added.

I think it's easy to understand if you imagine something like "offensive power" in "SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE", but apart from the conventional levels, there is "offensive power" that is only effective in the DLC field . is.

This was prepared for the "freedom to challenge threats" that I mentioned earlier, and it allows you to say things like, "This boss is tough, so let's explore another area and try again after becoming stronger." This makes it easier to experience even at high levels.

On the other hand, by suppressing the increase in "offensive power", players will be able to experience the challenge of challenging threats at a lower level.

It's level scaling. You can choose to use it (to make the bosses easier) or not (to make the bosses harder).
That should give you an estimate of how much bullshit they put in the DLC. That they feel the need to actually add a difficulty scale for the boss fights. I expected the worst but this is... surprising.

It just sounds like a built-in difficulty setting to me, ala summons and other such cheese.

 

[REhorror]

The DLCs have always been harder in the previous games, because they are more like expansions than DLCs.

I hope they make a new ending for it.

But he says the attack power only works in the DLC areas.

Also what's this about suppressing the increase in attack power?

I'm getting the sense what he is trying to say is that the DLC will increase or subtract attack power so that the difficulty is even reguardless of what level you decide to enter the DLC areas. So if you are SL40 you'll get an attack power boost (that only works while you are in the DLC lands). If you are SL120 you'll get an attack power penalty (unclear if optional).

Basically, the DLC is not going to affect the progress of the base game because the DLC areas have their own rules that are only in effect while you are there. So basically level scaling of sort, or a difficulty setting, a threshold i was hoping they would never cross.

The Demon's Souls remake is a technological masterpiece.

Lmao oh FUCK YOU.

The Demon's Souls remake was retarded AAA westoid slop for mouth breathers. Look wtf they did to the music:



The boss of Bluepoint even went on record saying they felt they had to "update" the game to more modern standards, which is code word for we gonna dumb shit down for retardo 'Murrican fatsos who think capeshit movies are high cinema.

I will NOT play any Bloodborne remake were it to even come on PC. Fuck them.

You didn't even play it bandwagon jumper. And I already acknowledged the inferior soundtrack. Everything else is better though.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Everything else is better though.

Highly doubt that.

If they can do that to the soundtrack they can do that to the rest of the game.

For instance, the visual changes are just as generic and normie tier as the soundtrack changes.

 

[Damned Registrations]

I think the intention is to replicate the feeling of 'oh fuck this boss, I'm going to go power up somewhere first' within the DLC, so you can't make it significantly easier by farming runes.

As for implementation, if you're familiar with how that golden order buff that gives you an insane damage bonus vs undead works, it could be something similar but applies only to DLC enemies. Create a way to upgrade the buff (Something like an item casting the buff, like your estus flask) and you'll also have the option of just not using the item and remaining at baseline damage.

Not even remotely close from a technological standpoint, and Elden Ring is newer. There is no other team on earth I'd rather have updating From Software's old games.

That's because you are a retard.

Who gives a fuck about grafix if your game is just soulless westoid slop.

I remember a scene for scene comparison between original Demon Souls and remake and there was no art in the remake. Just generic fantasy bullshit. Castle scenes were the worst. In the remake everything is brightly lit, the castles look brand new and have vegetation growing everywhere for no reason other than to add more detail.

 

[REhorror]

MIYAZAKI ADD IN HARD & ULTRA HARD MODES ALREADY.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Just look at this fucking garbage:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CrappyRedesigns/comments/jsgev4/the_fat_official_in_the_demons_soul_remake/

In the original, the fat official is smiling and is dressed opulently. In the remake he is just grimacing and wears dirty leather rags, completely missing the point:

The remake is soulless generic slop and is full of shit like that:

Your entire opinion is based off of watching youtube videos. I played through BOTH the original and the remake multiple times. My opinion overrides your opinion.

Yeah well your entire opinion seems to be based on muh graphics.

Some new ability needed to attack enemies in the "shadow realm"? i.e: Your damage is less effective there and you need to level whatever this ability is to be able to increase it.

The only thing I can thing of as justification in game. "In order to manifest yourself in this shadow dimension you need to improve your ki/jedi force/soul power" or some such bullshit.

It's basically the same game, but yes it looks prettier than most. Also the animations and sound design are a step above most others. Do you want to fuck the weathered mom with the stinky shredded pussy or do you want the hot daughter who douches and bleaches her asshole? The choice is yours.

From games are more like the really beautiful goth girls (that have lower quality fabric but other aspects mog), while the DeS Bluepoint remake is a troon with an axe wound.

This back and forth over graphics and atmosphere is pointless.
Is the gameplay the same? Has that been altered? Has it been improved? How?
I haven't played neither the original not the remake but I do plan to play the original this year and as a general rule I prefer the originals over remakes as I don't think anyone except the original devs have any right or vision to remake a game of their own.

 

[Caim]

I suspect that the system requirements for the DLC listed on Steam are just a direct copy of the main game, otherwise the DLC will be 60GB big.

For contrast, Steam says that Elden Ring has 50GB installed on my system right now.

 

[Child of Malkav]

Yeah they're the same. Size differs.

It's the same game, same experience. The polar opposite of the Resident Evil remakes for example.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

IIrc they added some side quest and some newer armor sets but yeah gameplay wise it's the same game

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

People here whined about the Metroid Prime remake too. Same exact game, but they hate it because it looks good. Ignore fuggo fetishists here who have to have everything look like crap for it to be good.

 

[Lyric Suite]

No it isn't.

Even if the gameplay was exactly the same i wouldn't play this bullshit just for the nu-music alone.

And don't forget we live in the age of ESG now a Bloodborne remake is gonna be filled with niggers and troons on top of everything.
