How did multiple-award winning Elden Ring become the fastest-selling Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. game of all time? A lot of it has to do with persistence, a psychological trait that increased globally by 8% year over year. Persistent players are relentless. They pursue what they want, take pride in their tenacity, and are motivated by their ability to outlast others. That sure sounds like Elden Ring players. With notoriously challenging gameplay and a storyline that requires around 130 hours of gameplay to reach 100%, persistence is almost a requirement. Here are some of the most prominent features: ⏳ Long, arduous levels that have larger than normal rewards 🧗♂️ Challenging progression ⚔️ Difficult boss fights and milestone levels 🏃♀️ Community-specific challenges such as glitchless speed runs or no damage runs 📜 Storyline-rich content for players who wish to uncover every minor detail of the game's lore #breakdown #playerpsychology #gamedesign #gamedevelopment #playerresearch #eldenring
