As the Elden Ring DLC beats the snot out of players, Hidetaka Miyazaki says toning difficulty down would "break the game itself" (www.windowscentral.com)

The problem is that the controls for anything other than the fighting are rather clunky. It's not something specific to ER, but rather gamepad based games, for some reason. I've the same issue with Horizon Zero Dawn. In both games I play pretty much with the weapons, the healing and that's about it because fuck all that shit about cycling through options in the middle of a fight.

You can long-press d-pad down to reset the inventory belt to the first item, same thing with the spells on d-pad up

I wish long press would just show us a choice wheel, right thumbstick to pick my choice, done. Free the left and right foe other stuff.

I don't know, that's too many inputs which is a trap that I feel console games easily fall for nowadays. Having to long press is already kind of annoying, adding another input layer with a wheel would make it worse imo
