Elden Ring

Honestly, if you can play Bloodborne on PC which I think you can, it makes this game seem really boring.  Cannot recommend it enough.  I have beaten that game like 10 times with different builds and it just never gets old.  Nearly perfect to be honest.  The PVP is also awesome.  It is flat out addictive

Bloodborne is a ps4 exclusive it seems.

I know you probably won’t do it but you can get PSNow and stream to the PC.  Pretty sure.  Anyway, everyone is hoping for a remake but not holding out hope.  That one gets me going…such a great game.  As close to perfect as it gets.

I have beaten DS 1 and 2.

What did you think of DS 2?  I think it is crazy underrated and the DLC is flat out awesome.  Love DS2 though many people pan it

Appreciate the banter.

I liked the duel wielding in DS2. I thought it was a good game, I didnt know people bashed it compared to the others.

Unpopular opinion here but this is my theory...

 

No one likes this game. No quest markers, no quest log.. what the heck is going on!? People only say the like this game to sucker their friends into this endless pit of doom and death... The joy garnered from this game is from hearing your friends talk about how much they have died.

This game is a multi level marketing scheme... you get recruited and then sucker your friends in to spread the 'joy' 

 

Full disclosure.. Im level 74 and played over 40 hours.. still not sure if im having fun yet..

Is this your first FromSoftware game?  I have played many of their other games multiple times and I found Elden Ring confusing for a good while.  Someone new to these games would definitely find it highly confusing for many hours IMO.  The game is hard that is to be expected to be honest

Well, it is by far the most confusing of their games.  This game throws so many different things at new players.  Totally understand that.  If you are under leveled for a certain area or boss you will get smashed over and over.  

If you want help with boss locations and suggested order to fight them try this…it helps immensely:  https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-boss-locations

Level your weapons and use spirit ashes to help with bosses.  Make sure your vitality is leveled to like 20 somewhat early.  Stick with it but lots of time and learning required with this one.

I have several friends that play that have helped me level up but if you rush dialog (when you are playing multiplayer) then you get completely lost. 

Its also not an engaging experience playing that game when you have to have a laptop open to figure out what to do... I know t=some people REALLY enjoy the game but Im having a hard time with it...

If it's not something that you've played before then I can expect it to be pretty jarring. I came into it knowing what FromSoft games are like so I'm having a blast. The difficulty is there for sure, as that's a trademark, but it's honestly their most forgiving game in many ways. Their other titles are more linear, and therefore perhaps easier from a "figuring out what to do next" standpoint but Elden Ring is completely different. If you're struggling in an area or with a boss, just go do something else. The world is HUGE and areas that maybe you shouldn't be exploring will be open to you and you'll just be getting slaughtered. As far as combat goes, FromSoft has always been pretty unforgiving for sloppy play or facetank strategies. You're gonna spend some time really learning the combat and boss strategies/patterns. 

Anyhow, I'm having a blast. At hour 95.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
