Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

When many players first came into contact with "Elden Ring", they basically followed the idea of ​​playing soul games such as "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", "Bloodborne" and "Dark Souls". For play.

In terms of combat system, including style and features, "Elden Ring" is indeed no different from these soul-based games.

But this feature of the open world gives "Elden Ring" countless possibilities.

Just like in the Dark Souls prequel, players can parkour to get the Tomb King Sword, Broken Dragon Tail to get the Flying Dragon Sword, or run over to brush the Black Knight Yue.

This is also an approach to reducing the difficulty of the game, but in "Elden Ring" there are more free settings, a wider map, and explorable content.

This open setting is destined to allow many players to find a simple and easy route to pass the level of "Elden's Ring", making the entire game not only a blood pressure explosion, but also a refreshing point.

For example, players who play melee combat can transform into combat skills maniacs after acquiring the combat skill of Old Cold Legs. With the large-scale AOE and frost characteristics of Old Cold Legs, they can more easily defeat bosses that were originally difficult.

Or you can use 100% physical defense and the energy respite effect brought by combat skills to do whatever it takes.

Paired with a special prop called the Bionic Teardrop obtained by going to the Eternal City, sometimes the effect of 1+1\u003e3 can be achieved.

Although Chen Xu's weapon is slightly more balanced in terms of damage, hatred, HP, and AI, it is still very powerful as an ashes that can use the same weapons, magic, and achievements as players. Especially some special genres.

For example, when facing monsters with relatively low toughness, such as Laohan Legs, the Dual-wielding Extra Large can beat them to the point where they cannot stand upright.

As for the mage who is favored by players, he has a variety of gameplay methods. He can use the blue secret Dettol to increase spell damage and intelligence, and use a glass cannon to kill instantly.

You can also use pyroxene magic, which has a faster casting speed, and pair it with a dagger with the combat skill of Hound Steps to become a very elegant mage.

For many mages, the magic professor on the top floor of Kallia's study, flash summoning a large bow, and his wretched fighting method can be said to have left a deep impression on many players.

Unfortunately, the flash magic is only exclusive to bosses, but players are not without alternatives.

The combat skill Hound Step is a substitute. Compared with rolling, it can cover a longer distance, raise your hand faster, and have a longer invincibility frame.

The price required is only a little mana consumption and energy bar.

In addition, in other games, the belief genre of prayer is also quite powerful, although the signature skill "Sunshine Gun" in Dark Souls has become a little weaker in "Elden Circle".

The dragon heart obtained after defeating the dragon, and the dragon power exchanged after arriving at the Great Dragon Feast Church, bring many possibilities, especially the scarlet and corrupted dragon breath, combined with bleeding crossbow arrows and pulley crossbows, as well as a The main weapon with seppuku combat skills makes the whole game relaxed and enjoyable.

Two mouthfuls of Corruption Dragon Breath allow the boss to feel the power of scarlet corruption. Combined with the long-range bleeding effect of crossbow arrows, the monster can experience what it means to be a despicable fader.

And even if these routines cannot make the game easier, there is still a very simple and crude method, which is to level up.

Although it is different from traditional arpg, as long as the boss's attributes are high enough, there is no way to break the defense, but the big bucket brought by the numerical improvement can still make the fault tolerance of the battle even lower.

There are two huge crows next to the blessing point of the Corruption Table in Galede. As long as you learn the Rock Ball as a mage, you can get about 8,000 runes in one minute.

There is also a huge gargoyle located on the treetops at the bottom of the deep roots, which can be easily defeated by both mages and melee fighters. A 4000-point rune is enough to keep players entertained for a while.

After starting the mission of Blood Dynasty through the White Mask NPC in the Rose Church, the big crow worth 10,000 runes near the first blessing point, and the 2000-year-old experience baby sitting in the front row, give the player a full sense of possession. motivation.

It can be said that as long as the player wants to, he can transform into the Shilipo Sword God.

As long as my output is explosive enough, no boss can stop me.

At the beginning, on major platforms and videos, these anchors were tortured to death, and the players also watched with gusto.

But as time goes by, players' understanding of "Elden's Circle" deepens, and more content is unearthed.

Although you still have to suffer, as long as you are not handicapped, most bosses will basically die more than ten times, and you can get through it after being stuck for half an hour or more.

This sense of contrast even makes many players feel very happy, and thus they have the idea of ​​​​playing it themselves.

After all, although Souls games have always been famous enough, they can even be said to be among the top three major IPs under Nebula Games.

But in terms of sales, it is really not on the front line. The main reason is that there are too many cloud players. After all, not many players want to suffer crazyly.

However, "Elden's Ring" has shortcuts and is not a buggy mode, which has given many players the idea of ​​​​experience it on their own.

And when these players entered the game, they immediately felt the charm of the game.

Because of the rich gameplay, it can be said that "Elden Ring" can be regarded as the simplest Souls game ever if you just think about it.

As long as you are a little familiar with the boss's fighting mode, you can easily defeat it after suffering a few times.

Of course, if NPCs are not summoned and these genres are not used, "Elden Ring" will become the most difficult Souls game in history.

These two extreme experiences have also caused controversy and discussion among many players.

Tieba, live broadcast platforms, and community forums are full of posts of various rhythms.

'The ashes system is really a rat's excrement that spoils a good pot of soup. I don't know what Chen Xu thinks, making such a thing with no technical content, combined with the mage's blue secret dew drop and soul torrent, any boss can Everything was meaningless before him.

‘Bloodborne, Dark Souls and Sekiro, if you can summon helpers at will when fighting the boss, can these Souls games still be playable? It's so funny! Don't wash anything, just don't use it. I don't need it. If I pretend not to know, then I'm just like a clown. I know it, but I just pretend not to know, and I'm lying to myself. ’

‘This is just like asking someone to play Dota to choose a hero without being allowed to use amplified moves, or asking someone to play Call of Duty without changing bullets. What a great game, but it has to disgust you all at once. ’

Obviously, these posts are basically posted by players who are dissatisfied with the fact that there are too many difficulty options in "Elden's Ring" that can be reduced.

The same goes for the Glass Cannon Soul Torrent, Old Cold Legs, Poke Shield and Dragon Breath Corruption, and even easy leveling points have also been picked up by some players.

Of course there are those who are against it, and many more who are in support.

'No way? No way? Can you really say this about a stand-alone game? In pvp, there is no way to use ashes, shield poke, and dragon breath corruption, and they are all given for free. If the level is too high, there is no way to match ordinary players, and there is damage correction, so what do people who say it is unbalanced think? ’

‘To be fair, you can’t just play a single-player game however you want? If you want to challenge yourself, don't do it. If you want to be more relaxed, just do these routines, wouldn't it be better? Can stand-alone games be compared? ’

‘Damn, here comes the Rat Shit Bible! ’

The content and direction of the discussion in this post aroused widespread debate among players. In just one day, it received thousands of replies, with players arguing among themselves.

But what many players didn't expect was that at this juncture, Chen Xu personally replied to this point on the official blog.
