Elden Ring

Amazing game, though one things puzzling

The quests.

So random without a guide, more chance of figuring out the lottery numbers

Currently on ranni’s quest, absolutely nee chance of figuring it out legit
 


Finally finished and got the platinum on this. If you’d told me a few months ago I’d platinum a fromsoft game I’d have laughed at you! (This was my first)

Had to start a ng+ to get one legendary weapon I had progressed past in the first run through.
 
Ok: so as this is like GOTY everywhere. Despite me not liking a single Souls game…I need to play it.

Is it as hard as fuck as the others?
It's tough but not impenetrable. I absolutely loved it, it took over my life for about a month.
My main gripe with it is not the difficulty its that they tell you fuck all, some games you could complain they hold your hand too much, this they just fuck you out there and straight away theres a big dude on a horse that will kick you ass!
I was lucky that a good mate of mine is big into the From Soft stuff and knocked over to show me through the first couple of hours, explain the mechanics etc, I think without that I would've given up after an hour.

Towards the end I was typing messages like this to my mate which now read like complete gobbledegook 🤣

“I'm getting through the first phase relatively easily, mimic tear, only the night comet spell with the terra magika thing to boost it, its the first flower attack of the second phase that is destroying me! I nearly beat her quite early but havent been close since!”

I'd say, by the time the DLC comes out I'll have completely forgotten how to play it

YouTube is your friend too, dont be afraid to use it

Honestly if you haven’t liked any of the Souls games because they’re too hard I doubt this will be any different.
That's why I haven't played it. Played a load of DS1 but couldn't get through it, gave up on BB after a 2-4 hours.

Looks class too.

(Dark)Soul destroying seeing some lad wreck the boss I gave up on using a sodding guitar controller.

I think this is different though in that if you come up against something tough you can turn around and go off somewhere else, the others are more linear and require you to get through different bosses to progress. I could be wrong like, just heard that said a lot. Elden Ring is the only one I've played.

It's supposed to be more approachable than any other their other games because of that.

If you’ve got the cash, patience, and time then go for it. It’s massive and brilliant, but imo not as hard as the rest. Don’t be afraid to have a look at some beginners guides on YouTube there’s plenty spoiler free ones just to give you the basics. Vaatividya is the king of from software games and I linked his beginners guide for Elden ring towards the beginning of this thread.
 
I love this game, but honestly think I’d have given it up pretty soon if I’d never played Bloodborne before any of the other Souls games.
 
I only played half of it. Got a bit sick of not having a clue what to do with quests etc, the storyline is weird and didn’t really make much sense, etc. You need a guide to find like 50% of the items otherwise you’ll just not have a clue where anything is. Could spend actual years finding everything for yourself. The gameplay is class however. I want to get back into it but I’m scared that I’ll get destroyed.

If they could make a similar game (depth, content, progression) but with the story from say, the Witcher, or Star Wars, then you’d easily have the best game ever made.

Gave up on this too hard for me 😂🫣 . Was just going Ng round in circles with no clue what to do. Wish it give you a bit of a guide etc
 
Looking forward to the DLC

Dark Souls isn’t difficult. Dark Souls DLC is very difficult :lol:

I imagine they’ll do the same with ER DLC
