Elden Ring has lost 50% of it's player base in one month!

[Methodical]

Probably fell into hyped and never played Dark Souls game before.

it's demoralizingly hard in some places. that plus lack of an engaging narrative to keep you going makes it easy to put down

the hype was massive and it lends itself well to content creation/clips but it's really not a game most people gonna enjoy longterm

Margit getting them out the paint early

If you treat the game like a Dark Fantasy simulator rpg, make your own adventure, and just explore around until you get better it’s GOAT status.

I can see why some people won’t like the old school NES game style loop of these Souls joints though but the open world being so well done gained them a higher userbase.

they already got their money

It’s a single player game meant to push the general player to the edge. If you really think about it, not the type of game made to be a big blockbuster like that, it’s probably at the player base it should be now

I already drew this analogy in the game thread, but this game was like a gym membership in January. More than half of those clients are already dead in the water and its only March

No games on the 5 and everyone jumped on it due to the graphics. They was all gettin murked in the beginning and said fukk this shyt.

I never played a souls game before and I got it out the mud from Limgrave all the way to the Mountaintops of the Giants. It’s a pure ARPG if you can’t take learning from your failures and actually adapting to your enemies and environment, you not gonna make it


The hype is warranted, but just because it’s a 10/10 game doesn’t mean it’s for everybody. Hypebeast gamers hold this L

yikes

Make games that start with Boss fights brehs.Mans wasn't ready for the smoke that early.

 

[Ill-Mind]

It’s the 4th most played game on Steam right now. That tweet was clearly sarcasm lol

Lol at people replying not realizing mad titan (and that twitter user) made this post because they are hurt that Halo Infinite flopped as a service game

Yeah, it’s probably a little different for live service because they need to constantly drop content to maintain. Elden Ring is a single player game that you can play with others. Unless they drop a DLC there shouldn’t be expectation to maintain the player base unless people are dipping because it’s trash.

I expect the numbers to go up when Season 2 drops
