Elden ring

[tommers]

Ain't falling for that one again.

 

[emanymton]

Yes exactly this. Just spent about two hours riding around, running away from things, seeing what's about. It's huge. And so much stuff to see and do. It's amazing. Streets ahead of anything else.

Does anybody know how to do gestures? I keep doing them by accident by pressing triangle?

Nope sorry I don't even have the online part on so just ignoring them.

Somebody told me to use it to talk to a wolf. All offline.

Oh I assumed they where so kind of online only thing.

If there is one thing I am sure of in this world Orang Utan ,it is that you would hate this game.

I'm rubbish at games but I still get something from Souls games (even if it's not far into them). Worth sampling at least once for the atmosphere if you can get one for cheap.

Still can't beat the first boss.

My son had to do it twice - there‘s a bug in the ps5 version which means autosave doesn’t work. He had 2 wolves and a bloke called roger to help tho

ETA he says I’ve made him sound like a dick. Sorry

I tried him on my own a couple of times and then as a summons helping out somebody else (and they summoned somebody else too, so three of us) about ten times and never got him past halfway before either the host died or I did.

My 11 year old would love this but it is a 17 age rating, is it really bad? Don't mind some cartoon gore but think might be sex in it?

No sex (afaik) but lots of blood

There's no sex, unless you count "holding".

There might be some messages that say "great chest!" or "try fingers, but hole". The sort of thing that an 11 Yr old would wet themselves about.

It's probably the violence tbh.

 

[cyberfairy]

Thanks, he loves open world games like Zelda and reviews are good. Might wait till he's 12

There is a big difference between 11 and 17 so i wouldnt recommend giving access.

By 13 they’ll be able to break any parental locks and play anyway without you knowing!

 

[tommers]

You might be able to turn the blood off?

 

[fen_boy]

Spoiler: I am not a fan of

Birds with knives for feet

 

[ruffneck23]

I beat the fell one, and got to Storm veil castle and have been dying a hell of a lot.

But I also met a lady who sells spells which is nice.

 

[emanymton]

You might be able to turn the blood off?

There is an option for that, but I don't think there is that much blood really.

 

[trashpony]

It’s very very difficult compared to BOTW and very dark too. The monsters are pretty scary looking. No comedy I would think an 11 year old would get frightened but obviously you know your child best.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

but it is a 17 age rating

That’s a weird number. I’ve seen 16 and 18 but not 17.

 

[mwgdrwg]

It's rated 16 in the UK.

I think 17 is a US thing.

According to pegi.info

This game features realistic violence, involving human and fantasy characters. Characters can be knocked backwards and stunned by attacks, with large blood effects being used. When defeated, characters fall to the ground where their bodies remain. There is a scene in which a monster with multiple arms severs an arm with an axe.

oooh, look forward to that.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

So it's not because of spider tits this time?

 

[emanymton]

This is starting to feel like a lifetime commitment.

 

[rekil]

I usually play Dayz but gave this a go. My guy is the underpants wretch character which is probably a mistake. I've killed the first boss and a few soldier guys and bird things but I have no idea what's happening. There's no way I'll have the time to get very far into it.

Spoiler: nsfw

 

[mwgdrwg]

Played 10 hours. Can't kill the first big boss, eek!

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Does it have the same 'bonfire'/reclaim your stuff system as Souls/Bloodbourne?

I've not even had the courage to try and big bosses yet.

 

[Chilli.s]

Has it got an easy setting where I can breeze through with my button mashing fool style?

Nope

Yeah. Although I noticed that you don't get all your souls back? Only noticed tonight.

I beat that Fell bloke eventually, Skeleton infantry were very helpful And have got through the castle to Godrick. Tried him a couple of times as a helper, but both times we got wiped. There also seems to be a lot of the castle that I haven't seen yet, which is weird cos I'm at the boss.

Then went off to the edge of the map and found something called a Royal Revenant that absolutely ruined me.

Absolutely loving it, got to say. So good.
