Is this game slowly dying?

[Rem is the best]

like bruh even destiny2 had more player lol
Something wrong with this game or people just got bored of it?

Just want to ask a question

Its a mostly linear game and apart from ng+ it doesn't have a lot of replayability and doesn't receive any major updates or new content, its honestly impressive it still has the amount of players it does, most games would've lost players much faster.

Games like d2 have new constant updates along with new seasons and large yearly dlc to keep a much larger playerbase playing, along with being much more grindy and so requiring many more hours to progress, it makes sense why they have playerbases so much larger than games like elden ring.

The game is 1 year old now. Please explain what amount of player a single player focussed game is supposed to have over a time span of a year. Also, a game is not a living thing, it cannot die.

Are you confusing this game with another game? This is not a live service game.

"Its a mostly linear game and apart from ng+ it doesn't have a lot of replayability" Wtf? Are you on the wrong forum? The game is neither linear, nor does it have no replayability. If Elden Ring doesn't provide replayability, than I don't know which game does.

single player games can't die unless they're in early access

the pvp doesn't count because it's trash and no one that's sane plays it consistently

Didn't say it didn't have replayability dude, I just said it doesn't have a lot compared to games like d2 which he was referencing as they generally have much higher player counts.

It's mostly linear in the sense that no matter how you play it, its always gonna end pretty much the same and you're gonna have a similar experience every time.

Aren't we all?

lack of dlc and ♥♥♥♥ pvp is what is killing it dark souls 3 stayed on top for a lot longer bc it had godly pvp

[SHOCKNUTZ]

it's a single player game with multiplayer functions. it's not a multiplayer game. a lot of people got caught up in the hype at the start and rushed through the main bosses, believing that was all the game had to offer and then moved on. some people aren't even aware there are other underground areas or other bosses. also people don't live in ER.

Comparing a 1 year old mainly single player game with a live service game...I mean, you can make every game look like it's dying if you compare it to something that it has nothing in common with.

[Fineous🔥]

There was 75000 people playing this weekend at some point. Nothing more to say, good luck out there and bless you OP.

Ok i will say it....please dont kill Elden Ring and think about the 75000 people online this weekend and probably nearly a million when they relase the DLC/Expansion......why kill their dear game? What Elden Ring did to you?

Linear in the sense it doesn't emulate life like RPG games?

The game literally has the most endings of all souls games. If you are having the same experience, well, you've played the same... please tell me an example of a game where you have a more different experience than between playing a str. warrior in Elden Ring vs a Mage with a Katana?! I don't understand your point.

How many games are there where not only can you go almost anywhere right from the start, it's also your skill that influences how much you will succeed even if going to a harder area early? In games like The Witcher 3, you have map freedom, but there are clear level issues when having to face a monster for a quest that can't be solved with skill because you are doing close to no damage to it...

Hogwart legacy release - that is an answer

What are you people talking about? DS3 pvp was never good. Everybody complained about the weird poise feature and how there are only a few playstyles that dominate (not to mention how strong R1 spam is)...

There are 51k players in Elden Ring right now, what is the problem??? There will always be a few thousand people playing each souls game, because the games are awesome.
New games come out every day, most people don't stick to a single game for years, no matter what genre it is.
