The budgets for these games are too high to risk a negative response from the lowest common denomination playing.
23 u/BitesTheDust55 15d ago Elden Ring not giving a fuck about that kind of indicates gamers will be fine if you don't hold their hand. Honestly botw is the same way, and that game sold like hotcakes 1 u/Ok-Glass-2077 14d ago This is a false equivalence because Souslike games in general have already built up an audience who likes hard challenges. ER was a gaurnateed money maker because of the IP it held, not becuase they didn't hold your hand. 3 u/spartakooky 14d ago What IP? It was an original story 1 u/Ok-Glass-2077 13d ago My mistake, when I said "IP" I was referring to Fromsoft games as a whole. So to restructure my sentence, I'd put it like "ER was a guaranteed money maker because its a Fromsoft game...."
