From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

[Steezus]

On a small scale it is still present in Bloodborne and DS3. The thing is, interconnected level in a From Soft game is like a narrative twist in a Shayamalan movie. You kind of know it'll be there, and it does not impress the way it did the first time around.

I think it's not neccessarly because you come to expect it, but more that the interconnectedness no longer serves any meaningful practicality. The shortcuts and connections become mostly cosmetic in nature, since bonfire placement and warping make them obsolete.

Damn, that release time is way later in the day than a normal steam release, by a good 6 hours. And here I was thinking they would do a midnight release like with Sekiro. The wait just got even longer.

I hope the music is captivating like the old ones..

Fugh, releasing on Friday 25th, at midnight.

Meaning the earliest I can play is about 18 hours after the launch, after coming from work Friday evening. By then the hikkomori will have already explored everything, cracked all the puzzles and killed all the bosses twice, naked with a broken laddle.

If your goal is to have an untainted playthrough without any major spoilers you should probably also steer clear of all online threads and platforms long before the games goes live. Since they let us preload the game two days in advance you can bet dataminers will try to sift through everything as soon as possible.

The first one who posts datamined stuff here or spoilers something wins my vote for Codex Greatest Retard of 2022.

Dont tempt people they are very well able to do this. Maybe new moderators should be appointed to prevent shit like that. Else it's better to avoid the dex too that day.

Sure, but isn't this always true?

Wrong. The 200 IQ move is not play anything and just read the codex thread about it. It will be sufficiently dissected that it's just like you played it yourself, minus the the grief and time investment. Hell, I haven't touched a game since I joined. I suspect that most of the games in which threads I post don't even exist but by this point I'm too afraid to ask.

You didn't miss much.

Damn, that's some 5D chess shit. Can you teach me how to get salary without actually going to work, oh enlightened one?

The day 1 patch might contain performance improvements

 

[Caim]

We should just have DarkUnderlord lock this thread for a week or two starting the 25th and delete all discussion of the game on other threads, just to be sure.

 

[mediocrepoet]

It'd be better to have separate spoiler free and spoiler okay post release threads. Then everyone's happy except Infinitron.

Facts. Truly the patrician way to enjoy vidya.

Tarnished Yeezus of Solaria! I didn't know what I was going to play first until this moment.

Launch trailer is out. It shows a ton of new stuff, so don't watch if you want to avoid spoilers.

I haven't played a single one of those three games since I wasn't interested in them to begin with.

Looks great.

Only played CP 2077 in this list, wasnt half bad but probably not what you expect from hundreds millions worth game.

 

[Silva]

Meh.

I'm trying to keep a positive mindset (I even pre-ordered), but It's hard. All I see is a bland fantasy theme-park. Speaking only for me, I'm a bit tired of the gameplay formula and would be more enthusiastic about a great setting and atmosphere like DS1 and BB had. If anything, DS2 and DS3 showed how important those elements are (by lacking them and being a sub-par experiences in the end).

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

That launch trailer is pure hypetrain but also full of spoilers But can you be spoilered if you do not know what the fuck you are looking at?

Two more days

Was Kingdom Hearts III just a disappointment because of its quality, or was it a buggy mess like the other two?
