Why is it stupid lol it seems like a legitimate concern to me. Only stupid parts are people asking for a difficulty setting or claiming pausing the game makes it for casuals lol "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 The Radahn (Light) version actually works super well in bossfights compared to (Lord), one's for mobs, the other is much better against bosses. 1 "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d call it a very minor concern at best, and just dislike of an intentional design choice at worst. Kinda got swayed in the other direction over the weekend by talking to a friend about it. That said, I think her response was reasonable. What she said at the time sounded retarded, but she was just using the lingo of her field. In which case, yeah, the lingo is stupid but as she said, blame the people who came up with it, not her. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly what we agreed on the first time this came up lol I thought the same too until I listened to the arguments and it sounds like a small thing now until one of us loses an arm or something lol. Not that they need to cater to people like that obviously, but thats not what is being asked. Just quality of life features for 80 percent of it. Besides, I said it was legitimate, not a big deal. As I said before my only concern would be the people who cannot stop at just a pause feature or whatever.

BigBossBalrog Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I'm honestly so exhausted of the difficulty discourse I might have snapped at her, without meaning too. She makes fair points (albeit ones I'm pretty ambivalent about) I don't mind them adding accessibility features (like font sizes and color grading for color blinded folk), but I'm worried if you give a hand to the journalists, they'll take the whole arm off and start dumbing down everything.

The Good Doctor Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 I get that. But I’m leaning more in the "it’s a deliberate design feature and some people just don’t like it" direction now. There is merit in the choice not to have a pause feature, even if it results in lower QoL for some. It adds to immersion and tension, and also is part of what allows them to have the single and multiplayer features conjoined. Basically, I think it’s reasonable for FromSoft to exclude pausing as part of the experience they’re crafting. Even if it’s not to everyone’s liking. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree wholeheartedly because one you can already pause technically and two, deadspace "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the inability to stop things and take a breather at any time does add something to the Elden Ring that Dead Space doesn’t have. I don’t think either is "wrong", just different. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Dead Space is almost Immresive Sim-like in how it presents the entire UI as part of an interface on Issac's rig. I remember being attacked once, when I tried to take it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre exactly the same lol difference is their pause is different, deadspace's is easier to find lol thats it Just now, BigBossBalrog said: Actually no.

It’s a tutorial menu and I don’t think they meant for players to use it as a pause button the same way as most other games. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 And principally, if that help button didn’t exist, my point would stand. It’s totally valid to design a game in such a way that it can’t be paused. There is merit to the concept, even if it’s not to everyone’s liking. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Regardless, its there and now because of this discourse, god i hate that word lol, a lot of fans who wished it was there, me included, know about it so they may as well add it in as a feature, I dont think it'd take away from the experience at all, you cant do anything besides pause it.

ColonelKillaBee Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Whatever merit there was imo is minimal to being able to play and adult lol, and whether we agree on it being in game or not, its still at the very least more legitimate of a conversation and request than adding a difficulty setting or the people who claim its only for casuals.

You’re in the middle of an intense fight with Malenia, heat of the moment, she jumps up for waterfowl dance- PAUSE Go online, look up Malenia’s waterfowl dance dodge pattern for a refresher. UNPAUSE Nailed it. Yeah, I can totally see plenty of reason why they wouldn’t want that. It’s not how they intend the game to be played. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
