[Diseased Yak]

$80 for GKC. Yeah....

 

[Hyet]

It truely is tarnished

 

[Saber]

Took them long enought, maybe they really had difficulties.
Not sure its worth the price though? The base game is superb 10 out of 10 experience, but the DLC is absolute awful imo.

 

[LordOcidax]

I hope that the game optimizations also comes to others platforms.

 

[GrayChild]

$80 for the game of the generation along with the greatest expansion pack ever released? Not bad.

Hopefully it won't run like ass.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I hope that the game optimizations also comes to others platforms.

Fat chance. I'm replaying it for the 5th time now on a 5080 and its crazy how shit it runs at times. We really are too lenient with FROM for their absolute dogshit engine.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Isn't this like a year after it was initially supposed to come out? Hopefully it runs decently...

 

[LordOcidax]

Yes, i don't have high hopes for the Switch 2 version neither…

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Collector Whores taking L after L.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Dunno about optimizations, but the "Tarnished Edition" additions like mount customization and the new class are being released as DLC for other platforms on the same day.

 

[Fake]

The price is too spicy. I don't think the game will run good anw, taking the PS5 version in consideration.

Still a great game.

 

[Interfectum]

Does it still run like shit or did they fix that?

 

[MiguelItUp]

I was hoping the content would be a bit meatier, but it really is just a new class, some new armor, some new weapons, horse skins, etc. Great for folks that never played though.

Curious about how much the content is by itself on PC.

Does it still run like shit or did they fix that?

Later previews were much more positive from what I saw, but unsure if it's running flawlessly. Guess we'll find out soon enough, lol.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Not a day 1 for me. I'll get it on a sale down the road.

 

[Hyet]

Does it still run like shit or did they fix that?

They delayed it to fix that so we'll see soon enough

 

[Trogdor1123]

Can we get a decent sale on the shadow of the erd tree dlc?

That would be great…

 

[corgiix3]

I have never given them a pass. I had to play the ps4 digital version on a PS5 to get 60fps. They just do not care about framerate I think

 

[SuperMac]

$80 it better be locked 30fps can't they port the ps4 version to Switch 2 for this. 1080p 30fps isn't much to ask.

 

[Roy_goodguy]

$80 for a 4 year old game (although great) that comes with a 30FPS experience... yeah I'm out.

I'm pretty curious to think what would take the game to look like to run at 60FPS on Switch 2.

 

[bender]

Day 1. They aren't going to undercut current pricing on other platforms with this release where it is also $80.

 

[rkofan87]

why announces now why not wait for the direct????

 

[Gambit2483]

Lol completely missed this thread. Reposting from other thread*

That's practically September...and then they release The Duskbloods a mere month or 2 later??

Also, the decision to not include this announcement in the Direct? Interesting...Idk, feels like this could've been handled better all around.

It includes Shadow of the Erdtree, which has never gone on sale on Steam... and the other platforms are going to have to pay for the Tarnished Edition upgrade.

 

[rkofan87]

y'all know that this means dusk blood is push back to 27 due to GTA right

 

[LordOcidax]

That's a Fromsoft decision… Probably we are going to have a gameplay trailer.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Duskbloods is vaporware until further notice IMO.

 

[Gambit2483]

This game was supposed to launch in 2025 with the delay being announced in October.

So they basically took an entire year just to "polish" it...I'm not sure if that's a good or bad sign. And the fact Nintendo relegated their long awaited announcement to a damn tweet instead of being in their (rumored) upcoming Direct...huh.

 

[FoxMcChief]

The thing that will keep me from buying the game is if I can't just put the game to sleep, and when I turn my switch 2 back on, I can't pick up where I left off.

This feature didn't work on the Xbox or PS.

 

[Signalis]

$80 it better be locked 30fps can't they port the ps4 version to Switch 2 for this. 1080p 30fps isn't much to ask.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

If it runs really well, it might actually be worth the asking price

 

[blacktout]

Also, the decision to not include this announcement in the Direct? Interesting...Idk, feels like this could've been handled better all around.

There still could be a trailer in the Direct that reiterates the release date. If they're also going to date Duskbloods during the Direct, they might have wanted to give Elden Ring a little extra breathing room.

 

[Sticks]

When does ER get some deep discounts. Already bought it twice but still want it on Steam.

It happens. Not so much after the DLC.

I do wish there was an option to only buy vanilla Elden Ring on the Switch 2 though.

 

[Spukc]

What is the fuck did they do all this time?

How low on the give a fuck scale is this game?

Cmon, we are talking about From software... they are one of the worst devs on pure tech aspect... :-D

 

[Dacvak]

$80 is rough, not gonna lie

 

[LordOcidax]

$80 is rough, not gonna lie

Includes all the expansions.

This feature didn't work on the Xbox or PS.

With Nintendo's track record on 3DS and Switch this will 100% work with no issues. They have game suspension working no matter what from my experience. One of my favourite things to be able to do.

 

[j0hnnix]

IF it runs good. I'm going back in. I never went back into doing the xpac.

Here's to hoping FROM cooked with optimizations.

Unless the game requires a constant internet connection like a live service game (e.g Fortnite/Overwatch), then sleep mode shouldn't disable the game.

In fact, because of the Switch 2s nature as a portable (quick jump in/out sessions) many games have to work around the sleep mode and no internet connectivity and will simply advise you to turn communications back on but won't ever stop your gaming session. Many Ubisoft games function like that. Hopefully Elden Ring won't have this issue.

Nope, whatI like about FROM games almost all their games can be played completely offline.

 

[Gambit2483]

There still could be a trailer in the Direct that reiterates the release date. If they're also going to date Duskbloods during the Direct, they might have wanted to give Elden Ring a little extra breathing room.

Absolutely, but at this point it would have taken some wind out of its sails.

Maybe it just got pushed into a sizzle reel at the end...and the true focus will be on Duskbloods, which is now most likely a 2027 release.

FROM would have to be stupid to release Elden Ring in late August, just to release The Duskbloods a month or 2 later, right next to GTA6.

Yup, and how I play the majority of my games, I'm constantly putting my SW2 to sleep and waking it up.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

It's the only version of the dlc that you can resell if you want!

That's worth the $80 bucks for me.

The NBA2K series can't be put to sleep and woken up, if in the middle of a game. Fucking GaaS. They lost my business forever now.

 

[Codes 208]

Includes all the expansions.

And the dlc is still $40 on steam

 

[LordOcidax]

The price is right, the issue is going to be the technical aspect of the game…

 

[Codes 208]

Its honestly no different than spending $80 on kirby or mario wonder.

Heres hoping they got running….marginally decent. (I'm kind of expecting xb1 settings in handheld mode and ps4-ps4 pro perf in docked)

Oh wow, even during Single player, offline CPU matches?? If so, yea, that is lame as hell.
