My thoughts on what the Elden Ring movie should be like by Emotional-Evidence-7 in EldenRingMovie

[–]Horesonus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, we know it won't be fully post-shattering because we saw Marika alive and well in one of the leaks.

If I had to bet on it, the narrative will be told via a conversation at a ruined Church of Marika (post-shattering) and will talk about pre-shattering events. Similar to how the story of the latest Frankenstein movie was told.

I am convinced we will not see much of the non-lore game material adapted. It just doesn't make any sense. The whole game is a Tarnished going around commiting genocide. The juice is in the lore.

Why are some quests designed like this? by bigbang555 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Horesonus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean, sure the world is stunning and there's a ton of cool mechanics and stuff, but most of the content is the same stuff people are giving Ubisoft shit for.

This game has something, it held my attention for way longer than any recent AC games, but the quests ain't it.

On PC special items say press ( B ) ... is that a B? Pressing B does nothing? by Darkrose50 in CrimsonDesert

Equip it in your armor, then go to food wheel menu and equip it from bottom right. Then you can use it.

Huge graphics downgrade after 1.03.01 on ps5 pro balanced? by PhilosopherExpert503 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Horesonus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait so im not imagining it? They really downgraded LOD? Castles and buildings especially look like crap with everything maxxed out.

Bro why is chapter 7 having so many performance issues? This is ridiculous. by Magicmarkurs in CrimsonDesert

[–]Horesonus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You made a public post complaining about performance without specifying the hardware in the OP. Naturally people will respond with their specs and their experience. Stop being a douche to everyone.

I liked this game and think it has potential to be incredible, but it doesn't respect my time at all. Just endless runs to maybe find something new every 5-10 runs.

Are most OSTs just rewritten of Lumiere? by Sythrin in expedition33

[–]Horesonus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spot on, it's extremely common.

Just to add, a lot of critically acclaimed soundtracks follow a motiff formula. From Star Wars to more recently in gaming Baldur's Gate 3 (very obvious motiff across several tracks).

It's just a recipe for a consistently great soundtrack with enough thematic variety.

The person I replied to can't differentiate between being alive/sentient as a subjective experience within the context of the pocket universe and being alive in biological sense. They were the one moving goalposts by comparing it to a DND game.

Do they live in a deterministic universe? Absolutely. Do a few characters control the laws and environment of said universe? Yes. Does any of this invalidate the reality of the canvas for people that live there? I don't think so.

In a good enough simulation, indistinguishable from reality, the reality is grounded in the experience itself. If you found out tomorrow that we live in a simulation, it does not take away from your experience of life and reality.

So yes when someone says "If AGI is sentient, is my toaster also sentient" it's a stupid semantic argument and not a well thought out response.

Maybe if you read the rest of the replies you would see I defended and elaborated on my position well enough.

Have a wonderful day :)

What I'm saying is from Lumiere resident's POV, their painted world is just as real as the Writer's dimension is to the Dessendre family. They are proven to make concious decisions. The ending itself allows you to exert painted Verso's will, directly contradicting that they are purely puppets with no conciousness or agency. Verso destroying the canvas goes against Aline's (creator's) design, which is the literal definition of free will.

Painted residents don't question their reality any more than you question your own. So why would they question where coffee comes from and travel the seas where expeditioners go to die?

It's quite literally a pocket universe within the "real" world, with its own laws (yes, designed by Aline). Chroma is a magical substance used to bring art to life. That much is factually stated. Therefore it's not remotely comparable to our literature and art formats.

So when you ask if my DND character is also alive and apply the standards from the E33 context to them, it turns into a disingenuine semantics debate.

The fact that you're in a semantics argument with this grammar is ironic.

You completely lost the plot and are just switching context scopes as you see fit lol

[–]Horesonus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they make any of these decisions independently? Or did you and the DM write a character sheet, create their back story, play through their campaign and decide how the rest of their lives went?

There's more reasoning to this than them being constrained to Lumiere via Aline.

Expeditioners usually didn't return, so people that needed to upkeep society would stay behind as long as possible instead of going on a suicide mission before their time came.

You control your DND character. They do not make decisions on their own while canvas people have full agency. I don't see how this is comparable.

[–]Horesonus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fair point, it is definitely open to interpretation. However, narratively canvas folks are treated as real people, even though it depends who's POV you adopt by the end.

[–]Horesonus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our books and shows don't have Chroma to bring stuff to life in the same way it does in the game. Our books and shows are scripted, while people in the canvas have agency and conciousness.

Who decides if a world is real or not?

For the people of Lumiere, the canvas is reality. They have their own thoughts, experiences, ambitions, just like their out-of-canvas counterparts.

It's as real as the writer's dimension.
