Miyazaki Says Finishing His Elden Ring Playthrough Was Difficult: “I Absolutely Suck At Video Games”
It’s no secret that Elden Ring–like many From Software games–is quite challenging. But new players aren’t the only ones having trouble mastering the game’s intimidating combat system. From Software president and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki struggles with the game’s difficulty, too.
Miyazaki recently revealed that while he’s very hands-on in terms of playing his games while they’re being developed, he tends not to play his games after release.
“After the release, I tend to not want to touch it, because I know I’m going to either find things that I left on the table or issues that will bug me,” he said in a recent interview with The Guardian. “And once I become a player, I’m powerless to do anything significant to change it. So once a game is out in the wild, I tend to not play.”
