Also, Sony might be hinting that they're buying FromSoft next, but I hope that's not true.
that would be really a boss move against MS, on par with their acquisition of Bethesda Game studio.
Both of those dev studios has carved their own niches, and there are no real substitutes out there. No one makes TES clones, and no one makes games like Fromsoft's ones of compareable quality.

Hero seems like it's just the Bandit starter class from the other games except with a new name
Having a starting class with a greatsword is cool though. I don't think that's been done before in any of the games, right?

Today 5 companies own everything, in the future 2 companies will own everything.

What is the Kodex Konsensus on this game?
We know that the multiplayer mode in several Dark Souls games has a massive security issue to the point where From Software had to shut down the servers, and it remains to be seen whether it works in Elden Ring.

As always, it is wisdom to not D1P.

It's really fucked how some people are even cheering these acquisitions on, not seeing how moves like these will make the situation worse and worse for consumers. I will never understand how someone can let themselves be tricked into thinking that a brand is their ally or friend.

No way in hell am I gonna start with Elex 2. Archolos recent release will just remind me too much of what PB used to be.

Some good info in this video. There will be more NPCs and dialog than all the Souls games combined, and they give you quests that sometimes change the world state. Also there's items that open secret areas similar to the Pharros Lockstones in DS2. The guy is a big Dark Souls fan and he thinks this will be From's best game yet, if the quality of the 10 hours he played stays the same throughout the full game.

So the storytelling and progression will be more spoon fed and in-your-face instead of subtle and cryptic? Congratulations Fromsoft! You're truly a AAA developer now.

Well, tough decision what to play after WotR: Elden Ring or Elex 2?

Very hard decision considering that Elden Ring is released before Elex2.

:nocountryforshitposters:

Quite. Particularly given that I'm not finished with WotR. In fact, another game with a different Mythic Path would be nice.
And ER and ELEX2 come out really close to each other in my book.

It comes full circle.

Next we'll play as Ezio from AssCreed in the DLC.
