I would argue Nintendo does do a lot of pro-consumer stuff. Like making actually good games. It’s just their anti-consumer stuff is either so bad or just plain weird that we just scratch our heads and think Nintendo is going off the deep end. Still trying to avoid buying much Nintendo going forward.
Maybe the number is from the people who have finished the game. Seems way too high to be all players. After looking it up it seems to be true. 34.4% of players have the Mohg achievement. More than any single ending. Also, Age of the Stars ending is higher than the base Elden Lord ending. Kinda funny considering the whole questline needed for that.
I liked the magic in Elden Ring. First Souls game I played magic in and I feel it was very strong. If you’re going with sorceries, just be aware that the first magic teacher is easily missed. Look up where they are if you get too far into the game without finding more magic.
Yeah it’s pretty greedy. They are going after the players with less willpower, which all these companies do. Seems like Japanese companies get away with it more than Western ones. I just gotta say that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the best game I’ve played in a while and I loved the true ending. Just wish these companies had some regulation against this shit.
Goldeneye 007. Yeah seriously. The most famous multiplayer game of its generation very nearly didn’t have multiplayer. It was tacked on when they finished the game and had a little bit of extra time and ROM storage.
I’m assuming it is hard because it would require a new graphical mode and that would up the complexity a good bit as they don’t want it to break anything. Another issue would be the fact that loading screens almost always max out at least one pc resource (cpu, drives, ram, etc) so you could get back to gameplay faster. It would cause lag in the minigame unless they went out of their way to avoid maxing those out.
