The creator of Elden Ring says he “sucks” at video games and needs all the help he can get
Elden Ring creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has said he “sucks” at video games and needs all the help he can get to get ahead. Let’s see his words about it.
Difficulty in video games is a concept that is sometimes a little difficult to define, given that it is relative to the skills of the individual person. Some games focus on difficulty and therefore are not for everyone, but this does not mean that you have to be very good to be able to complete a challenge. Obviously this discussion easily applies to a video game like Elden Ring and its expansion Shadow of the Erdtree.
To complete a game of this type you don’t necessarily have to be very good, because there are a series of internal “helps”, such as various types of power-ups and summons. Miyazaki himself explains that he absolutely needs all this, because he is actually not good at video games at all.
Miyazaki’s words on Elden Ring and the difficulty
Speaking to The Guardian, Miyazaki said: “I want to preface this by saying that I absolutely suck at video games , so my approach or style of play was to use everything I had, every assistance, every help that the game offers, and also all the knowledge that I have as a game maker.

The discussion arose from the fact that Miyazaki admitted that he normally does not play his video games after they have been published as this pushes him to notice things he would like to change, when it is too late. “When I become a player, I no longer have the power to do anything significant to change the game,” explains the Elden Ring director.
Before Shadow of the Erdtree was released, however, he broke his own rule and replayed the base game and absolutely had to use every form of help. This should also serve to put a stop to all those players who believe that the only “right” way to play Elden Ring is without using summons and many other aids. If you genuinely prefer not to use some features of the game, you are free to do so, but you should not turn it into a way to attack others.
Miyazaki then spoke about the possibility of Elden Ring becoming a TV series or film
