The only real question is how they gonna fit the Dark Souls formula with an open world setting.

Other than that i think we all know what to expect, like it or not.

Dark Souls for the Ubisoft crowd.

I don't think so.

Maybe if the faggots who made the Demon Souls remake made it, yes, i would be worried about it. But FromSoftware is just gonna From. DS2 showed that to be the case even when they fuck up.

It's good.

Edit: I got goose-bumps and that's more than I was expecting.

I didn't think they can make open-world Dark Souls but it looks like they did it.

The castle, the atmosphere, the lighting are top notch. From Software is insane.

Pretty embarrassing showcase. Player equipment looked good but everything else is assets From their last software (TM). Animations, spell effects, NPCs, the catacombs looked like rehashed chalice dungeons from BB (which were dogshit). Even has ubisoft bandit camps for epic crafting materials. OST also sounded bland. Anyone excited for this has no right to criticize anyone who buys CoD/FIFA/Madden/Ubishit year in year out.

I liked the waifu though.

They reused so many assets, ER looks more Dark Souls than Dark Souls 2. It's pathetic.

You are saying this like it's a bad thing!? :)
they named this game "Elden Ring", not "Dark Souls 4". I expected it to look like a new intellectual property, not like a lazy asset flip with zero new ideas. The whole "open world with ubisoft towers" thing doesn't inspire optimism either.

They did recycle like 80% of BB/DS3 animations and sounds but fuck it, I need it now.

Except that the animations are more fluid. They also improved the lightning greatly.

Pretty embarrassing ...

Yeah, your post is pretty embarrassing.
You're such a desperate fanboy that your only defense of the game is "but the graphics are better this time". Congratulations, you've gone full retard.

I was gonna jump and say that I don't like the map, but it seems that the map is just a huge mass of nothing really. It's just there for you to place your own markers. Which is fine.

Game looks great otherwise.

Also... The Way of the Dragon is back, baby! I can FINALLY go monk-mode, and not look like a fucking ponce!
