@albert2006xp Ай бұрын

So we're just going to ignore the stuttery mess, 60 fps lock, utterly inexplicable keyboard layout, non-rebindable buttons, map that didn't know what a mouse is? I've seen 2000s PC ports better than that from a technical standpoint. What I want to know is did any of that get improved? Is it a competent PC game finally or does Japan still not know what a PC is?

If you don't have a good weapon with inbuilt aoe to kill them fast or a spell, use a bow on the same place and shoot the bird across the ravine, he'll run at you and fall down. You'll get about 11k runes per kill and he dies in 2 seconds, rest at bonfire, repeat. So you'll get alot of runes aswell within 1 hour (more with that yellow chickenfoot consumable, I don't recall the name).

A game being “too hard” isn’t valid criticism. Gaming is a hobby, not unlike guitar or rock climbing. As such, it demands varying levels of skill and experience. It doesn’t make sense for me to criticize playing guitar because opeth wrote a song I struggle to play. It doesn’t make sense for me to criticize rock climbing because I lack the skill to climb the first flat iron. The difficulty of souls games is intended. It is the way the artist wants to present their art. If Elden Ring is “too hard” for you, that sucks. I think it’s a great game that everyone should enjoy! That said, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from getting better. If you criticize a dumbass, objectively shit design choice, that’s fair.
