If you've ever been on the internet during the past week, then you've witnessed a variety of heated arguments centered around Elden Ring Runes. The standard debate about difficulty and accessibility is a major topic about the game, however the latest issue to be debated was Elden's user interface. There are menus and onscreen elements that provide you with information about the health pool of your rune and count.
Similar to Like Souls and similar games before it, Elden Ring has some sparse UI design. The HUD is a visual display of only the most pertinent information including your stamina bar as well as the items you can equip-and that's it. The user experience isn't particularly intuitive initially, especially considering the variety of options available without having to take each one of them down. Utilizing your pouch or looking at the map can be difficult to do when playing The Lands Between or in a intense battle, but it's all part of normal for the FromSoftware game. However, this hasn't stopped anyone from discussing the possibility of a more "mainstream" approach to Elden Ring instead.
Gamboozino shared a photo-shopped, heavily edited photo on March 5 showing the Ubisoft best place to buy elden ring items might look like. It's hard to imagine how overloaded the screen looks and how it is cluttered with prompts for "Tarnished Sense" (lol) and infuriating notifications about what boss to fight next. Admittedly, it seems to be an overexaggeration in Ubisoft's concept, but it's clear that the image has been created in the mind of the player, and completely contradicts Elden Ring's design style.
