Elden Ring looks phenomenal.

They give you an actual jump mechanic.


Worth the price of admission alone.

Looks like an incredible title.

I won't be able to play it because it's clearly DS-esqe and I just get murdered on games with that difficulty level. Right up my alley on story, genre and graphics, but I'm just not cut out for all the frustrating punishment.

About the most "difficult" combat system I ever mastered was Dragon's Dogma.

I don't even want to see videos or pictures of this game until I get my hands on my preordered copy. I usually wait until a price drop before I get any new game, but this one I don't want to wait for.

In a recent interview, Miyazaki said this about George R.R. Martin and the characters he came up with for the game:

“I think if we get a chance to show Martin and if he gets a chance to see the game and see these characters, I think he might be a bit shocked. When he wrote them, he was really envisioning something a little bit more human, a little bit more traditional human drama and fantasy characters. So I hope he gets a kick out of that.”

Preordered about a week ago.

Trying really hard to go into this blind. Been avoiding most video footage outside of listening to a few preview opinions from souls based content creators I follow.

They all seem hyped, that means this is likely a home run.

They may as well call it Dark Souls 4 but I get it.

Massive open world, new crafting and stealth system. Power stancing weapons is back.

I'm wondering what the mind stat is about.

That's pretty much it with me. It looks no different than all the other Soulsbourne games From Software has pumped out over the years.

Souls is basically CoD at this point

Mind stat raises your FP. FP is used for spirit summons and some are INSANELY powerful so much so there’s ones that could possible be found in the area that was released for the network test, now in the main game that you most likely can’t even used until you invest pretty modestly into the stat. One last thing vatvida shared his video on the limited amount of time he had with the final build (of which he only explored the area we had for the network test so really I recommend watching his video on this you are being spoiled as he just talks a bit about its difference). There’s legit an AMAZING amount of random shite that I’d wager 99% of the game won’t tell you, especially if coming from a network text perspective and expecting things to be where they aren’t if things to work how they won’t.

As far as easiest possible class, he only mentioned one in the final build video some time of key they opens these fogiec(not boss walls) you might seen in the network test play through. These usually provide a weapon or short cut but that’s alll he said about starting gifts.

Digital preordered for PC on some lunar New Year sale.

Going Confessor build for first playthrough.

I know the CNT isn't indicative of the final product, and they put stuff in there that won't be available that early in the real game.

That said, I do think it will be more forgiving than DS series.

Can't wait. There is not a single element of the game in the reviews I have seen that I do not like. It is as if From has taken everything great- from King's Field to Sekiro- and mashed them together. I always worry about too much hype, but I just don't see this game being bad.

FIFY. Played for a few hours last night on PS5 and it’s fricking awesome.

I’m already about to quit this game. I haven’t played a FS game since DSII, but I am dying nonstop and I can’t even unlock leveling up. I feel like the controls are super laggy.

Very butthurt
