I’m Chinese and I lived in the US for 8 years. This might surprise you but most people I know in China who’s heavily invested in Elden ring and other souls games don’t know how to turn off the blue bear. As a matter of fact, websites like Nexus mod gets blocked by the GFW and there’s no “toggle anti cheat” sort of thing on Chinese net. I guess that’s why they are complaining? Plus, a lot of us Chinese gamers are cheaters especially in online play, I hate to acknowledge it but it’s the truth. I won’t apologize for them cause I’m not one of them but still every time shit like this happens I feel ashamed.

@Gquain Ай бұрын

Dont worry even if it's a stereotype, alongside indians being IT tech scammers and americans being fat. Videogames are for one's own entertainment and the addition of cheats is what i would call in american terms: "player enablement" even if it ends up ruining multiplayer. It's up to the developers to stop that, which naturally creates friction.

In many non-english-speaking countries it's substantially harder to purchase or build a high-end gaming PC, because essential parts such as GPU's and CPU have no real domestic equivalent, or really bad ones, so have to be imported which often severely increases their price and reduces availability. I live in Brazil and I can tell you that every single US-imported part such as a NVidia GPU costs from 50% more to double even after you take currency conversion into account. Though Brazil does have an egregious tax on imported electronics I doubt it's only a problem here. Anything that hampers performance such as anti-cheats and DRM will get extra hate in those countries.

From my understanding. The easy anti cheat is set up to connects to a global server which is "firewalled" since China blocked international internet access. Therefore people playing the game gets often disconnections which leads to crashes, since the easy anti cheat felt the user is tempering the data transfer. Which would be fine if Elden ring is an Online Game. But this is a single player game and you can't turn off the anti cheat connection. And the anti cheat causing performance issues is add insult to injurise.

I 100% believe the chinese negative reviews were overwhelmingly due to them using some form of game altering software and being upset that their accounts were flagged when the game updated and got banned because the cheat software for elden ring hadn't updated to avoid detection when they played.Of all the reviews the editor showed, I didn't see any that said "I wasn't cheating but I got flagged as a cheater" I'd put money on them thinking hacking souls or items, altering files or anything not related to pvp is not a bad thing. Im not referring to modding either, i mean online file altering.

The only problem I have with bosses is a trigger that the millisecond you press heal, they will pull out a move thats specigically designed to hit you when you hit the button to heal. You think you created space and time but nah they just immediately dash in or throw something at you. Other than those healing specific trigger attacks the aggression is fine. sometimes you just need to roll once or twice (ok maybe 3 times) more before you can heal. A risk, yes, but its much more fun than always having time to heal and having no risk at all

This is the dumbest complaint because this was in EVERY souls game (i hate gwyn for it) but in this dlc these are the only bosses that don’t input read they just stand alone let u heal.

The globalized market caused this. American or Japanese companies have been trying to sell their shit in China for ages now. And the more they succeed the more they cater to people that want something else than we do. Japanese games used to be a niche some people in the west liked playing because they were Japanese. Then the Japanese started catering to the west, and those games don't feel as Japanese any more. Just like Blizzard catering to China this creates a conflict of interest between the original fans and the new fans the corpos are trying to capture. Chinese are also more likely to spend money on micro transactions and gachas, which is why that style of games have come to the west

I do think the DLC is a little overtuned. Too many HP sponges (to be fair, this was also an issue in the late base game), and it feels tuned for level 250+ end game players, not post-Leyndell as was apparently recommended by Miyazaki. It's honestly not too bad, but I do think it would benefit from being tuned down. And I'd rather see them add a few extra enemies while reducing their HP. Even one extra enemy in a room can create a sizable difficulty spike, depending on what the enemy is and where they are. I'm not asking for more Anor Londo archers, but that is actually a good example of how an extra enemy can spice up the difficulty. They were certainly more interesting than just jacking up the HP and damage of the enemies.
