re: Elden Ring looks phenomenal.

Thanks man.

Yeah patterns don’t bother me at all, I enjoy that. I guess a super intricate control scheme would more so.

Tbh Elden Ring is in all likelihood to be their most accessible title yet to a wider audience at large which makes sense on a progression matrix. The beauty lost in that for so many people however which will absolutely cheapens and disservice your love for the game; is knowing and seeing everywhere how it is the definitive refined experience culminating in years of blood and sweat and carving out w brand new genre they alone are capable of truly producing at the quality come to know. You’ll miss the life Blood of dark souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro running throughout like it’s blood in it’s veins like leaving what failed on the cutting room floor:

So yes all that to say it’s b my all intents a spiritual successor to dark souls written by a man whose famous for subversion and turning over the table of classic fantasy. And yes the pull to play it’s almost unbearably strong I’d imagine. But you’d be doing yourself dirty. Using a guide DS 1-3 and especially Bloodborne are not long games, I could give or take Sekiro.

Is this game going to be one where it’s basically impossible to progress due to difficulty especially only playing for a couple of hours a week?

You will probably be fine, although it's tough to say without the game having been released.

I'm very far from a skilled gamer, but I've never found the areas between bosses to be as over-the-top difficult as their reputation suggests. Bosses are another story though...for me, at least.

Which starting class is everybody picking?

I'm leaning toward vagabond right now. Seems to fit my preferred play style the best.

I'm actually the opposite (have only played Demon Souls remake and Dark Souls remastered in full playthroughs, and am at Father Garciano in Bloodborne).

I've found the bosses to generally be easier to get through with a small handful of exceptions. I think part of my issue is that I would struggle so much getting through an area that I'd end up collecting a shite ton of souls and would end up leveling up and upgrading weapons in order to get through it. By the time I reached many of the bosses I was way overpowered lol

I wasn't too hyped on Elden Ring, but these reviews scores have pushed from "play sometime in the Summer" to playing asap.

Gonna go with Prisoner. I am usually a Dex build type of guy on DS games but I definitely want the magic aspect too and the Prisoner seems to be a Dex/Int char

Leaning that way myself.

Samurai most likely. But I’m curious how the magic builds are in this game.

Multiple outlets have called this game a masterpiece. I’ve never played Bloodborne or none of the Dark Souls but I’ll be buying this.

Wait, Series S performance mode is better than Series X?

Have resolutions been posted to go with FPS?
