Obiwan “You were meant to bring balance to the Force, not destroy it” rant.
I have no idea how you could even make a workable souls game with touchscreen controls
And apparently they want it to “work like *Genshin Impact*”. Given that it’s Tencent, that likely means they’re ripping it off wholesale and slapping *Elden Ring* over it.
This is so rancid…so unbelievably rancid.
Elden ring impact is very ambitious. It’ll be interesting to see how they can capture such broad appeal as genshin but to also be competitive while maintaining brand identity.
Free to play games are the cancer of gaming
Can I enter a universe where this doesn’t exist, please?
i love how shockingly misleading this title is, implying that tencent is going to be adding these things into elden ring when its just “theyre making a mobile game that barely exists yet”. A+ journalism
Classic Tencent tryna milk every cent 🤡
No.
Dogshit journalism. This has NOTHING to do with Elden Ring PC btw.
Tencent is a cancer.
Fuck off into the sun, please!
A free to play microtransactions-ridden lootboxes gacha mobile version of elden ring?
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? 😃😃😃
And people still trying to convince me the chinese are examples of….. Anything really 🤣
Please tell me it’s going to have 10 different paid currencies that I use to purchase 30 different secondary currencies which then let me actually buy anything. And a paid battlepass, so I can buy additional FOMO…
If they do create this abomination we better at least get some elden ring waifus out of it.
I used to love Conan Exiles – but not so much now. Used to be able to get a DLC every quarter that had a full themed building set, weapons and armor for 10 bucks. Now you practically by each piece for a dollar and end up spending 3-5x for an equivalent amount of new content. Or, you could game all day of your life to earn it for free.
Get them the fuck away from FromSoft.
Yeah no, i can already see these happening:
-Basic weapons, summons, ashes of war that are actually good will be nerfed
-While better weapons, summons, ashes of war will be locked behind gacha
-Larval tears will be premium item
You’re probably going to need like thousands of dollars just to replicate the same build you use in PC/consoles
There’s no way this will succeed, I just can’t believe it. Everything about elden ring’s game design, from the ground up, is completely antithetical to the design of free to play mobile gacha games. I just feel like tencent is way out of touch and wants to cash in on elden ring solely because it was a massive success, without understanding anything about what made the game successful
I will fucking die before I watch another one of my favorite things get turned into f2p microtransaction live service slop, I cant take it anymore.
yeah, go ask devil may cry fans how well their mobile game turned out lol.
hint, it’s fucking garbage.
plays like ass, and is stuffed full of bs mtx no one wants.
No good can come of this.
Nah bullshit fromsoft doesn’t do the lootbox shit
HMMMM…….VERREEWELL…….
I understand that’s what greedy corporations do, yet I still can’t comprehend how you, as a company can have so, so much money and be so well off yet you need to find MORE ways to milk every audience that you can. Meanwhile I’m over here trying to find coupons just to afford groceries 😂
Truly insane what greed can do.
>:(
Companies like Tencent and Embracer should both astronomically fuck off.
