Games

1. You can file the paperwork to attempt to sue anyone for anything. It doesn't mean it will be accepted by the court, or that the judge will not summon you there specifically to laugh in your face, declare your suit frivolous, throw you out, and refuse to validate your parking.
2. If Jabroni thinks he's having it rough with Elden Ring, he ought to go back and try out the first couple of King's Field games...

Who is it, QuantumTV?

It is a game that is difficult, made by a company that is widely known for making some of the highest difficulty games in gaming. And arguably, Elden Ring is their easiest game. This guy signed up for it. If he didn't know, its his fault.

There is no lawsuit here, this gets thrown out instantly. FromSoftware makes games and they can make whatever they want. If people don't want their games, then they won't buy them.

You can file a lawsuit about just about anything. It doesn't mean it's going anywhere.

I'd say it's absolutely insane that someone might actually be able to take the creators of Elden Ring to court over the fact they're not good enough to beat a game intentionally made to be hard. I imagine they're the same people who would try and sue Sintendo over a Mrio Mker level that they can't beat first try.

People can sue for whatever reason they want, but that doesn't mean a court will entertain it. I'm sure whatever judge this is put in front of will dismiss it immediately.

As for the difficulty discussion. Not all games are made for all players, and that's OK. If it's too hard for you, play sometime else. Soulsborne games do not need difficulty settings, and I'm glad they don't.

there's a guy on 4chan who's planning to sue Fromsoft

Lol, no. There's a guy on 4chan who's saying wildly outlandish shit in order to have a laugh at anyone who takes it seriously.

Absolute maidenless behavior.

Seriously tho, it's really stupid. Not every game is meant to be enjoyed by every gamer, just like how not every book will not be enjoyed by every reader. If the devs are fine with excluding a potential group of audience members by making their game very difficult, then they should be allowed to do that. Unfortunately, I get that it sucks for the people that don't have the time or skills to 'git gud' at a game like Elden Ring and they may feel like they wasted their money on it. However, it's not like you can demand a refund at the movie theater because a movie you saw was confusing, not funny, or just not something you like.

This is definitely just my opinion, but to me it seems like Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3 were both popular enough that most people that play video games should know FromSoftware's reputation for making very difficult games. If you haven't played one of their games before, you should know that it's a gamble as to weather you can even finish the game. But, my view on this might be pretty skewed as most people I talk to play a lot of video games

Buy game that is wildly known to be too difficult for some. Made by studio known for making games too difficult for some.

Throws a fit and sues studio.

Yeah, that sounds like a skill issue.

Edit: It gets worse.

The player references not only Elden Ring but also Bloodborne in this regard. He says that game director Hidetaka Miyazaki cut a large chunk of Bloodborne out of the game. This was revealed in an interview where Miyazaki discussed players transforming into a beast. The player believes that this transformation feature is in Bloodborne but wasn’t ever added to the playable game.

This person is just plain mentally challenged. And I don’t mean that as an insult. Shit, that’s actually sad.

I'm suing Twister for my inability to be flexible

Where article? Am I stupid?

I refuse to believe this is real.

It’s not even that hard. I seriously was bracing for some ridiculous bullshit based on the response but I haven’t struggled at all through it. Sometimes I do hit a hard boss and explore to come back later, but nothing insurmountable. I still have yet to finish but Sekiro still makes this games seem like a walk in the park. Hell, all the Dark souls games are far harder too.

This is like suing an MMO because you want to solo raid dungeons so you can enjoy the content without having to play multiplayer.

Don't get me wrong, their opinion is fine. But the lawsuit is idiotic. Just do what the rest of us do when we're screwed over by circumstance and choices: build a bridge and get over it.

The only circumstance I could see a "too hard" lawsuit maybe possibly hypothetically working out is if the customer was disabled. They might have a slim chance if they could use the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) to sledgehammer the game developer with. I personally don't believe it would work, but I'm not a lawyer so what the hell do I know.

What a joke. Git good, /v/ user.

Source?

Soulslike games only frustrate me immensely. I don't mind a challenge, but when a game starts to feel more like work than hobby I'll pass. So Elden Ring has never been on my wishlist, but I applaud those who have the motivation to git gud and persevere.

To each their own, research a bit before you buy something and accept that you might sometimes buy a game that doesn't suit you. Mistakes and wrong decisions happen, that's life.

A game that is designed to be difficult, turns out to be difficult. More at 11

You can file a suit against anyone for any reason. Garbage ones get thrown out pretty quick.

The reason that they can be a lawsuit is you can sue for anything in the US, doesn't mean that it has any merit to it, or the case will ever even be heard.

It's the oddest choice to sue FromSoftware because Elden Ring, a Souls-like which, is advertised to be a very difficult game. Personally, I stay away from Fromsoft games because of their difficulty, I play games for fun; any game that requires an extreme amount of skill right out off the bat is simply not it to me. I guess this person can waste their money doing whatever they'd like; I don't see them having any hope of winning this frivolous lawsuit.
