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

[Falksi]

Can't wait to see Final Fantasy 16's sad attempt to rival this

 

[Brickfrog]

Every From Soft game iv played since armored core 2 came out in the US has whipped sack. One of the few studios you can point to that has churned out quality for 20+ years.

It's okay when games journos shill From soft games. You guys are worse than Reddit when it comes to them.

We do it just to annoy you.

What part of don't watch any videos if you don't want spoileis is hard to understand?

I would even suggest to not enter in any gaming web or youtube. Well this could be always TBH.

Snape usurps the fire

Damn this game is almost as good as BG3 early access.

What the hell is this pre-loading?

 

[Brickfrog]

Its for people with garbage internet that need 12 hours to download a 40 gig file.

What the hell is this pre-loading?

It's for Ryzer

 

[Shrimp]

Feels like every second review wants to remind us that Breath of the Wild apparently was the first ever video game with an open world

 

[Ryzer]

It's the Skyrim of the Dark Souls.

 

[toro]

Ryzer Do you suffer bitch??

We are very close to have spoilers on this thread. I don´t want to abandon the hype train with all the bros just because some low discipline retards and coomers.

My balls haven't been this purple in ages. Elden Ring will cure CANCER

Quotes like these from the PC Gamer review make me happy.

It's the scale of it that tricks you into thinking it's gentler at first. I spent hours prodding at the autumnal landscapes of Limgrave and Liurnia and didn't meaningfully raise my stats enough to withstand more than a swing from one of the two early major bosses...

This glacial progression makes some bosses, whether within one of Elden Ring's tough "Legacy" dungeons or out in the world, seem insurmountable without another player splitting the attention of the boss so that, for at least a moment, you can squeeze a hit in. Elden Ring remained hostile for the 60 hours I've put into it, making the trek through it occasionally frustrating and directionless...

One pocket of land might house undead soldiers who fall to pieces with a poof of magic, while another one might contain ruthless giants who can shrug off an axe cleaved into their side. I spent much of Elden Ring unsure of how strong my character was and where I could go...

If it's to be believed, our boys did their open world right, with possibly better actual RPG progression than any of the past games.

HUMANITY RESTORED!

But is it better than The Last of Us 2?

Off-topic cause this is hilarious:

• Demon Souls (2009) – Metacritic 89 / OpenCritic N/A
• Dark Souls (2011) – Metacritic 89 / OpenCritic N/A
• Dark Souls 2 (2014) – Metacritic 91 / OpenCritic 88
• Bloodborne (2015) – Metacritic 92 / OpenCritic 91
• Dark Souls 3 (2016) – Metacritic 89 / OpenCritic 90
• Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (2019) Metacritic 90 / OpenCritic 90

The Elden Ring review embargo dropped earlier this afternoon, and at time of writing, the PS5 score on review aggregate site Metacritic is hovering between 97 and 98. If it settles on the latter, Elden Ring will become the second highest-scored game in the history of the site, sitting one point behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and level with GTA 5, GTA 4, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and Soul Calibur. Over on OpenCritic, the game is currently the top-reviewed game of all time, averaged across all major platforms.

Wtf is happening!?

I think it has more to do with BotW being the first open world game in a long time to do the open world thing correctly.

 

[Ryzer]

I'm dying inside.

 

[Brickfrog]

Every open world game that isn't botw is modelled after assassin's creed and far cry and they almost uniformaly suck ass.

Gta excepted I guess
