Elden ring

[emanymton]

I wish I had the time and the skillz to get into this. (Would also need to drop in price.)

I'm crap at games and I am slowly getting though it. Always scared of running into a wall at some point though but not happened yet.

But yes it is taking a lot of time.

As for price well I don't know your situation but think it might save me money long term as the amount of time it eats up means I will not buy as many other games.

The difficulty of Souls games is overstated. Apart from Sekiro.

I have both Souls 2 and Bloodbourne for the PS and can't have seen more than 0.01% of either.

I don't have a lot of time for playing games, especially as summer approaches.

Im a landscape/exploring/storyline gamer, combat I'm less fussed about training up for. Had a souls game before, cant remember which, didnt get through the first level, didn't pull me in, had no desire to pursue it. This one looks like I'll be interested to look at, but probably has not enough concessions to what I enjoy in a game to keep me at it.

Mother. Fuckers.

 

[emanymton]

Mother. Fuckers.

Oh. Not just 2 or 3 either.

 

[Chilli.s]

Does look like great dungeons

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Laptop mother fucking updated.


gone from a virgin 8GB to a chad 32GB (max this thing will take)

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

More complicated than it used to be.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Played an hour and a half.
Love it. Only did stuff I already recognised from previews and looking at network test stuff.

One problem I have is being crap at gaming.
Hitting wrong buttons and being crap and tense during even basic combat.

Am enjoying the stealth aspect.

I started off as wretch as I wasn't sure what to spec into.

Or waste money on stuff like leaving the house. Or personal grooming products. Or food.

TBF the worst for that is still football manager. Get into that and you'll save a fortune.

Too realistic for me these days. You need to know about actual football to play them now.

How is a dedicated FM player supposed to make time to follow actual football?

Damn those fucking bird things at Morne Tunnel - just stagger me forever why don't you...

 

[ffsear]

Just started! Wow!

This game is up there with Skyrim and Zelda for me. Prob a top 5

 

[ruffneck23]

YOU DIED

 

[tommers]

Have you played other souls games ffsear ? This one seems to be better at sucking in people who haven't before but that might just be me noticing it more.

The things that look like Boris Johnson? I cant remember if ive been to morne tunnel.

 

[ruffneck23]

It's sold 12 million copies already, it took bloodborne 4 years to do that.

birds with knives on their feet that breath fire. They aren't very nice.

Oh those things. Yeah, fuck them.

 

[tommers]

Me and my posse killed Radahn. And then i was searching for the next bit and i noticed something and i was like "i cant believe i havent noticed that really big weird thing in all the other times ive been here" and obviously that was because it had just appeared and was the thing id been searching for. Dickhead.

No i never played them... Worth a go?

 

[tommers]

They're this. But without open world stuff. You get a bit of choice. If you get bored of this then yeah, they're good.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Maybe watch a good let's play to get a feel.

Gelmir Hero's Grave can fuck the fuck off.

 

[ruffneck23]

212 odd hours in (give or take a few where I may have left it on, but not many)

I haven't posted because I've been playing

I'm still finding massive new areas, forgetting and remembering about bosses I met weeks ago, running away in those days . going back and completely destroying them with my new found Red lightning spell and towers of flame ( after investing few points into faith). It really is a masterpiece and has taken the crown from Dark Souls. I think I'm getting near the end game, then looking at the map and thinking , I wonder if.... and there usually is an if (and a death or 9).

Yeah. I'm "only" on about 90 hours and the capital city on its own is basically a whole new game. Found the coded sword, which is faith only and looks really cool, and then the erdtree bow, which again scales on faith. Just the amount of stuff in this is amazing.

I don't know if this can take the place of Dark Souls, that game was so new to me when it came out and it was so unique and affecting that another version of it can never have the same effect but this is objectively a better and more complete game. It's definitely the best open world game I've ever played, like by a fucking country mile. In a "nothing else is even in the same postcode" kind of way.

It is such a, and please excuse my bluntness, cunt.
