Hope they‘ll implement a bunch of image reconstruction techniques with the update. And maybe generally optimize the game better, but not gonna get my hopes up…

Apart from being hardcapped at 60 FPS, is Elden Ring even running badly? In my experience its performance is pretty reasonable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

When I played it, it had the same bug as DS3. Every now and then a very short stutter and it had nothing to do with the pc it was running on, it was an engine issue, I think. Don't know if it is fixed by now but that one really hurt, because a stutter can mean death in those worlds.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I thought that is a shader building issue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In other souls games, that stutter was caused by invaders connecting to your session. It throws me off every time it happens in Elden Ring for some other reason

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think this one was level streaming related. It only happened during traversal (mostly) and was severe, plenty of YT videos showing it.

It disappeared entirely once I upgraded to a 3D V-Cache chip (5600x -> 5800x3d).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you can get mods to make it run over 60. But the framrate plummets with ray tracing on for negligible visual difference since they only do it for shadows

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It has constant awful shader compilation stutter.

I've been excited for this ever since they released the promo artwork! The speculation I've seen is that we'll probably see at least a trailer at the game awards, and probably a full drop by February—based on financial projections for the game released by Kadokawa (the parent company).

We shall see! I love the lore, so I can't wait to get my hands on more of it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (7 children)

I don’t get that at all. Elden Ring was already painfully long. If you tried to do everything you ended up super OP. It became an absolute slug to get through. It was super repetitive. I can’t imagine anything they could add with a DLC that could improve that. I don’t get the hype for the DLC.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Opposite for me completely. I spent 120hrs on it and it flew by completely, I was sad when it ended and found I got no satisfaction from ng+ and also, couldn't bring myself to do a raw ng again with exploration of everything.

So new content is precisely what would entice me back to this and what I want.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I adored the game and also spent a little over 120h in it, but it's commonly accepted that past the capital, the game kind of lose its pacing and starts iterating on the same ideas, just in different settings.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn I had completely different experience. I think I’m on NG+4 with almost 300 hours.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Same i only quit because i had tried every weapon, incantation, and spell over like 5 different characters using just about every build i could imagine enjoying

And i was at 420.69 hours so lol

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have to intentionally level up, you know that right? It's not like you auto-level, you can beat the game at level 1.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In majority of other games it would be a valid scaling complaint. Yes you don’t need to level, but it’s part of the game as well, it should be implemented correctly so everyone can enjoy all parts of the game.

Not just don’t level up to enjoy it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (18 children)

On the contrary, it's precisely because you can level at your own needed pace, ie go off and grind if you can't beat a part of the game, or keep going if you over-level, that makes it more enjoyable for more people.

it's actually pretty easy to beat without levelling up, I did it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes, everyone else’s opinion is invalid because you are better at the game.

Gotcha.

I don't honestly get the downvotes, this is a valid point of view.

It's not one I agree with, but I do agree Elden Ring was rushed with too much content planned.

This may however help with that.

I really hope the DLC expands and fixes core game issues, instead of thinking it has to add even more bloated areas to the game.

Like new areas are good, but don't make them just to have more areas (I'm looking at you, swamp and dungeons).

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

ER did have a lot of reused assets and bosses in the tons of little dungeons. Those things were only interesting for the unique puzzles they sometimes had.

I have to expect the expansion will have all new content without much reuse. They've had as long as they need to make whatever they want. And traditionally Fromsoft expansions tend to be well received.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're complaining that a game has too much content?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Games not scaled for you play all the content, not entirely the same complaint.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (11 children)

I mean, it kinda is though? The stats all have diminishing returns.
