Elden Ring Broke Convention & Other Developers Aren’t Happy > 자유게시판

Although Elden Ring 's multiplayer mechanics are practically identical to those of FromSoftware's previous action RPGs, the co-op experience is made much worse by the game's expansive design. Playing through the entire game with friends can become a chore. Every time one of Elden Ring 's many bosses is defeated, the multiplayer session ends, and cooperators must be re-summoned. Additionally, said boss is only defeated for the host, so if three friends are playing through the game together, they'll have to beat each one three times. For games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne , separate progression for cooperators was a common critique as well, but the issue is severely exacerbated by Elden Ring 's incredible number of bos

FromSoftware's unique brand of multiplayer is a creation oddly personal to Miyazaki. According to an old Eurogamer interview, the idea for Demon's Souls ' co-op was born out of Miyazaki getting his car stuck in the snow. Strangers spontaneously pushed his car to get it moving again before suddenly disappearing, the same way Elden Ring 's colorful phantoms fade after winning a boss fight. Without an opportunity to thank them, Miyazaki referred to the encounter as " a connection of mutual assistance between transient people ." It's an interesting anecdote, but it also provides some insight on Miyazaki's - and by extension, FromSoftware's - design philosophy. Elden Ring 's multiplayer mechanics may be obtuse, but they're an important part of the game's vis

In some of the critiques of Elden Ring (including its easily improvable co-op) published on social media sites, game developers asserted that Elden Ring has bad UX, short for User Experience. In the context of Underrated Video Games 2025 games, UX/User Experience refers to a branch of video game design focused on making a game intuitive and emotionally satisfying to play. To create a good User Experience in video games, UX developers will use play-testing, player feedback, and even psychological analysis to fine-tune aspects such as the user interface, the sensory feedback players receive when they press controller buttons, and how quickly players can grasp the game's rules and go

A popular mod for **Elden Ring ** has completely revamped its cooperative multiplayer systems, and its reception could affect the development of future games by FromSoftware. For over a decade, FromSoftware's action RPGs have used the same, rather obtuse multiplayer functions, with slight differences as the studio's signature formula evolved. Many Elden Ring players have found the vanilla co-op mechanics too restrictive, and have opted to download the Seamless Co-op mod in order to freely explore The Lands Between alongside a group of frie

Though Elden Ring doesn't have an "easy mode," there are many resources and tools within the game players can use to make overcoming certain challenges easier: character builds with long-ranged Incantations and Glintstone Sorceries, summoning other players or Spirit Ashes to even the odds during difficult boss fights, applying special status effects such as Bleed, Frost, Scarlet Rot, and so on. Even with these special advantages, Elden Ring remains a difficult RPG full of enemies that punish players for mistakes and moments of carelessness. Some critics argue Elden Ring 's hard difficulty unfairly punishes players who paid for and want to enjoy the game, while defenders of Elden Ring argue even the most popular video games can't (and shouldn't) be designed to appeal to every possible consu
