  1. You can file the paperwork to attempt to sue anyone for anything. It doesn’t mean it will be accepted by the court, or that the judge will not summon you there specifically to laugh in your face, declare your suit frivolous, throw you out, and refuse to validate your parking.
  2. If Jabroni thinks he’s having it rough with Elden Ring, he ought to go back and try out the first couple of King’s Field games…
RightHandOfIkaros,

Kings Field II (JP) my beloved

L0rdMathias,

From reading his posts, he doesn’t think the game is too hard he thinks there’s an entire game hidden inside Elden Ring. He claims there’s an entire parallel universe for the lands between hidden in the game files and no one has found it because they purposely hid this final “50% of the game” and made it impossible to find.

Iapar,

…what?..

Angry_Autist,

Is this your first time being exposed to frivolous lawsuit bullshittery?

peopleproblems,

So if they made it impossible to find, how did he find it?

L0rdMathias,

Not sure and I don’t exactly understand that part. It has to do with the themes and messages behind Bloodborne and how that game is a metaphor for awakening true humanity or something along those lines. But that was just a cross franchise hint for the actual parallel universe in Elden Ring.

peopleproblems,

That… Is quite a stretch.

RaoulDook,

Elden Rangus Evangelion conspiracy theory! Far out!

Cocodapuf,

I think that’s called teasing a sequel…

I mean if so then good! If he has any evidence he could fucking share about it then we can go on trying to solve the puzzle. It would be a bold and striking move that would put from software aseven more transcendent a developer

Maalus,

The “evidence” most likely came to him when he forgot to take his pills. From Software games have a huge following of people hunting for cut content, going through every item for its lore etc. They even got Armored Cores into the game, and tarnished into Armored Core. If there was anything, it would be known on release basically.

Yea, i mean i don’t believe it for a second, but it would still be cool AF

Holy hell I kinda hope they actually let this go to trial just to make him present his “evidence”

hedgehogging_the_bed, do games w what is this game

Yeah, Baldur’s Gate 3 for certain. Shadowheart, Astariaon and Wyll, left to right. The red icon mean Wyll has 70% chance to hit with that Eldritch Blast.

catloaf,

I’ve never played BG3 but I do play D&D and yeah that sounds about right for eldritch blast

sic_1,

And the Screenshot is made in the underdark, right west of the entrance below the goblin camp. This game deserves all of it praise.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Wait until you find out that the list of people and groups that have NOT done terrible things to other people is so small that there might be only one group or person on it, if at all.

Fiivemacs,

I stand firm with my local chip truck.

orrk,

There’s a bit of a difference between doing some unethical stuff, and orchestrating multiple coup of democratic governments to be replaced with authoritarian dictatorships, or hiring an international death squad to assassinate troublesome workers who want to get paid, and of course let us not forget undermining our own democracy!

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty

Who is it, QuantumTV?

It is a game that is difficult, made by a company that is widely known for making some of the highest difficulty games in gaming. And arguably, Elden Ring is their easiest game. This guy signed up for it. If he didn’t know, its his fault.

There is no lawsuit here, this gets thrown out instantly. FromSoftware makes games and they can make whatever they want. If people don’t want their games, then they won’t buy them.

Fume Knight says hi. At the end I near perfected him but damn that took me a long time. Orphan of kos is a never again situation for me though.

Angry_Autist,

Before the DLC I might have agreed with you.

DLC included, ER is significantly harder than DSII

Not that this is a bad thing

Abnorc,

Somehow I had a way harder time with Elden Ring than Dark Souls 1 or 2, but difficulty is a bit subjective.

Cacodemons were designed after a D&D monster, so there is a connection.

PhlubbaDubba,

Probably after you accidentally found out that one of the cutscenes entering the underdark was you flailing about like a limp noodle because you jumped down the gap instead of taking the ladder.

A “spectator”, specifically. A lesser beholder.

kevindqc, do games w After 20+ years, Dole has returned to Super Monkey Ball

I’m confused, why is turning bananas into ads exciting? I don’t get the value added for anyone other than Dole?

Badabinski,

I'm guessing it's nostalgia. The bananas in the original game had stickers on them, but the newer games didn't. There are a lot of people who love the old SMB games and are happy when anything is done to make the new ones like the old ones.

I don't get being so excited about it, but these games weren't a core part of my childhood. I played the party games in SMB 1 once and those were fun, but I don't think I ever actually played the main game.

kevindqc,

Ah, makes sense, thanks for the context

RightHandOfIkaros,

The same reason I hope CalorieMate stays in MGS 3 Delta, it was in the original and became a part of the identity of the game. Not having it would feel weird.

Kinda like when something gets remade and is nearly completely different from the original. All the right names and pieces are there, but its off and doesn’t feel right. 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street stuff.

You can file a lawsuit about just about anything. It doesn’t mean it’s going anywhere.

Your post on Reddit reads like an advertisement™️ and karma requirements have been on subs for years. It’s to limit bots with zero karma that typically post spam advertisments. This is a moderator controlled function, usually.

Don’t misunderstand me. I’ll hate on Reddit any day of the week but my complaints need to be educated.

BudgetBandit,

Oh there are? Sorry about that then. I’ve been sleep deprived for over a month now due to things I don’t really want to talk about without being asked and don’t function properly due to that.

AceFuzzLord, do games w Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty

I’d say it’s absolutely insane that someone might actually be able to take the creators of Elden Ring to court over the fact they’re not good enough to beat a game intentionally made to be hard. I imagine they’re the same people who would try and sue Sintendo over a Mrio Mker level that they can’t beat first try.

RobotZap10000,

Psst! Your censors are making italics! Add a backslash to both of them to mke it wrk.

AceFuzzLord,

Thanks for the heads up. This whole text formatting thing can be annoying.

Cethin,

I the US you can sue anyone for anything. You’ll lose for stuff like this post, but you can do it all you want. The fact anyone is reporting on this is the issue. It should be ignored.

@MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world avatar

The article is using as a source a 4chan post that had a docket number that didn’t check out. I’m pretty sure this is a joke someone took seriously because they needed to publish something today.

This would get almost immediately dismissed by any judge.

squirrelwithnut, do games w Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty

People can sue for whatever they want, but that doesn’t mean a court will entertain it. I’m sure whatever judge this is put in front of will dismiss it immediately.

As for the difficulty discussion. Not all games are made for all players, and that’s OK. If it’s too hard for you, play sometime else. Soulsborne games do not need difficulty settings, and I’m glad they don’t.

FaceDeer, do piracy w "Copyright fuels creativity [...] promotes free speech", heh
@FaceDeer@kbin.social avatar

Well, it's not wrong to say that about the basic concept of copyright. The original purpose of copyright was to allow authors to feel free to publish stuff more widely without fear of it being "stolen." Without copyright there'd be a lot more proprietary information being squirrelled away in private archives.

But of course, that concept has been completely hijacked over the years. The duration no longer makes sense for that original purpose.

Neato,
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

Yeah. Copyright should exist for like, 20 years or so? Or no more than 10 years after the holder's death so dependent family can adapt. This 90-100 years is bullshit. It doesn't benefit the creators, it benefits the rights holders. Almost always a corporation profiting off the back of their workers.

piratetarip,

Agreed. The fundamental concept doesn’t seem bad. Usually it is harder to create than copy. So for someone to invest resources into creating something, we might want a system that allows him to recoup those costs before someone else who didn’t need to front load those costs undercuts him.

But as you said the current system is broken.

salarua,
@salarua@sopuli.xyz avatar

believe it or not, that wasn’t the original purpose of copyright. copyright was invented as a form of censorship. in 1556, the Charter of the Stationers’ Company was given the exclusive right to control the operation of printing presses in England, up to and including the ability to seize offending books and burn the printing presses that made them (L. Ray Patterson, )
