Hidetaka Miyazaki has spoken up a bit about the Elden Ring delay, and mentions how the dev team is focused on temp to avoid player boredom.

Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."
It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.
The author's profile appears to state otherwise. I believe they just got a massive shock with Elden Ring, something that stuck around. To each their own I guess
Elden ring ruined from software for me....maybe.
I hope their next game isn't open world too...
I have yet to beat Elden Ring. Not cause it's too hard , I've beaten Sekiro, Bloodborne, Demon Souls etc. Also I could just make my character op but I prefer to play under leveled. It's too big. I beat Radaghan or the moon lady last then got lost, lost for years lol. I'm going to beat it tho. Haven't played it in a while
I platinumed the game but hated the open world aspect...started great but then after a bit you notice all the repeated dungeons and bosses...it got massively tedious and much preferred late game areas in a typical souls game than the open world repetition.
The ole “I’m so good at hard games I had to play under leveled to get challenged and if I worked that hard in real life I wouldn’t be working at Walmart”
? Don't work at Walmart or any type of retail...lol. But w.e. Makes you feel better about ya sad life 🤷🏽 lol. You probably just suck at games lmao.
I loved it but yeah it is just overwhelmingly massive and confusing, I don’t think I’ll ever finish it.
The large-scale DLC "Shadow of the Golden Tree" for "Elden's Circle" will be released on June 21. This is the only additional content for "Elden's Circle" since its release two years ago, and according to public information, its size will also be the largest DLC since the founding of Fromsoftware.
Covid will affect games also on 2022.
So many people will read this as Elden Ring Delay and just have a heart attack there
Sounds like balancing issues. My speculation is from their trials they found quite a few testers able to "break" the balance perhaps by becoming too powerful too early. This is generally an issue with open world games because it becomes more difficult to control player progression than in linear games.
Soooo if the tempo is trash and we are bored playing the game, does that mean we've been bamboozled?
I’m so glad they made sure fun is the center of it and not just opening it up for the sake of opening it up. So many open world games just depend on fetch quest and have a lot of emptiness in between.
I really lose interest in open world games like that due to the nature of just nothing to do. That’s why games with lots of traversal options get me more interested then anything else. Not just driving a car/horse or quick travel. But flight, parkour have always been higher interest to me.lol
