Ubisoft and Sony devs are salty about Elden Rings success

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

Over on Twitter, former Battlefield 2042 dev and now current UX Director at Ubisoft Ahmed Salama (Twitter profile is locked) pointed out that Elden Ring snagging a 97 average on Metacritic is “proof” that game critics don’t give a crap about game UX (user experience). In the same tweet, Nixxes Software (now a first-party Sony studio) dev Rebecca Fernandez O’Shea, and Senior Quest Designer of Horizon Forbidden West Blake Rebouche (Twitter profile locked) also threw shade by mentioning the faulting the game’s PC graphics, stability & performance, and even the quest design.

Not only that, but Salama also adds that the Elden Ring UX is so bad, he can only imagine FromSoftware devs are smoking in their desks and using CRT monitors, even.

Not only makes Ubicrap uninspired games with lootboxes aka suprise mechanics(or nfts) and sell their low effort ultimate editions for 120 bucks, they also think that players are dumb and need hand holding by every step they make.Well and gorilla games never interested me in the first place because im not that much into action adventures marked as rpgs but their games could be good.Still pathetic that they are jealous as well that elden ring is a way higher success than horizon. Well if people hating you are doing it right

Salty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Horizon sucked and ubisoft hasn't made a decent game since Blackflag

As much as I loved the original Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed games, Ubisoft has really gone downhill in the last decade and I wish they would stop repeating that same boring formula that they've been using for their open-world games.

This should show them that people want to buy a complete game without having to spend $100 for the complete edition that's actually not complete because for whatever reason there is yet another season pass. Imagine if you had to buy the hair styles in this. It is ridiculous.

I will talk ♥♥♥♥ about Fromsoft jank all day, but hoooo boy when "My nine years old at the time computer, somehow, was the better user experience playing cyberpunk than my brother's console" is acting like Elden Ring's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ between all the cool parts (that isn't related to lowest bidder anticheat" is some new low.

Pretty sure they know that but they want to turn everyone into sheeps with no standards.I think the same for the few denuvo defenders

healthy people do not concern themselves with twitter

It is far past time for EA, Ubisoft and the others to collapse.

Gameplay matters more than UX. It always has. They are learning this the hard way.

I have literally used people defending Denuvo as an argument against democracy, because these people vote.

Have you played a Ubisoft game? Of course they don't

[Kreddi]

Pointing out that the game runs bad on PC for some people is just pure truth. The rest is what ever, who gives a ♥♥♥♥

[815|Shouldabeen]

I had the misfortune of buying Assassin's Creed Valhalla about 2 months ago. The game is a glorified easter egg hunt.

On the other hand you have Elden Ring. A game that has given me so many hours of enjoyment.

Both are open world games but they are not the same.

Ah another fanboi circle jeark thread.
If the game was released by another dev, no one would bat an eye. Fight me.

fromsoft does deserve some hate for the bad PC port

Not really getting how it's a "port" when it was released simultaneously on console and pc. It's, rather, multi-platform, which sadly gives them less of an excuse for the state the PC version was in when it came out.

Before anyone gets at me over that definition the reason ports are called as such is because a game "moved" from one platform to the next. I.E. if a game released on Xbox and PS at the same time, multi-platform - if a game released on PS and was later redesigned for xbox, it's a port.
