TL;DW: Journalists played Elden Ring on Switch 2 on gamescom. They weren’t allowed to record gameplay but performance is really bad. Tons of stuttering and reportedly dips to <20FPS in cases.

    Come now, Fromsoft’s design flaws go far deeper than “fire beat water”. Don’t strawman things you supposedly respect.

      Your post was nonsense. “You can’t have a boss that is strong against something else that used to work” is a stupid design “rule” you made up. Like every game that has meaningfully different builds is going to have parts that are easier or harder for a build.

        Easier and harder are not the goal posts being discussed.

        You yourself say the boss battle was EASY with a shield and pokey build. That is a whole different discussion than, “some builds do better against certain enemies”.

        Stop strawmanning the argument, numpty.

          Back when game design was an actual artform, having a boss who’s easy with one build but terrible against another up-to-then valid build indicates BAD GAME DESIGN

          “easy”

          easy

          EASY

          Are you kidding me right now? Is this a bit?
