String Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) FromSoftware’s ‘Elden Ring’ is an upcoming souls-like role-playing game, brought to life by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R R Martin. The game is set in the bleak, dark fantasy realm of the Lands Between, and sometime after the destruction of the titular Elden Ring and the scattering of its shards – The Great Runes. As a Tarnished, our job as the player is to ultimately find all the shards, restore the Elden Ring, and become the Elden Lord.

Mister Pink Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'm really surprised there isn't more buzz about this on here at least. I've never played the '..Souls games but this look great. Game just looks beautiful and should fill that gap nicely so until Elder Scrolls: VI and Avowed.

Space Cowboy Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Really looking forward to this. I am a big Souls fan, and Bloodborne is one of my favourite games ever. It doesn't have the same build variety as other Souls games, so knowing that Elden Ring brings the build variety back is pleasant news. I am also interested how they will tackle open world, hopefully we could explore the main areas in any order we like. I purposely haven't been following the news much, but I recall that one of the old leaks said that we might get new abilities after completing each area and those abilities will sort of dictate what strategies we can use in other areas. If that's true, it would make for a great replayability. I still have to play Sekiro, so I might get to that first soon. I love these games, but I usually take a long break after completing each one and focus on something else lol. They can be demanding and I don't really consider myself good at them.

Agreed, usually open world games worry me because developers do not reward exploration, but with Fromsoft they are big on making sure every little nook and cranny potentially has something worth checking in on.

Failed Again Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Not a fan of these types of games, I had a bad experience in the past. Our family was hungry, so I took our cow to town to sell, but on the way, I was tricked and traded for some " Majic Beans" Well you know how that turns out.

Mister Pink Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Elden Ring is that game I almost forget and then remember and get very excited for. The world just looks so beautiful. Have a peak at a section of the map and it looks very curious. I just love the whole art direction of this game. It think it's speaking to my tastes much more than The Witcher does. Dropping a few more screenshots to see if anyone gets bitten by the mood. I remember I think it was @meta187 that dropped some Skyrim screenshots pre-release that hooked me in. Can't remember the exact screenshot but it finally just clicked with me. I wasn't a fan of fantasy before then. I was pure GTA and definitely more into "realistic" games. So glad I was able to branch out. And while I enjoy the The Witcher, the look of it, the art direction never clicked with me. Probably because it was my second fantasy game. The psychology is that it's not Skyrim - it's different. It's like the rebound girl the after your long-term relationship. She's nice and fun but it's not your ex! It's coming February 25th. I shall be getting this day one. String 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/977126-elden-ring-fromsoftware-2022/#findComment-1071768632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) My only fear with Elden Ring is it is a From game...and I'm just not that good enough of a gamer to handle them. I've tried...I've tried. I sure hope it has that casual 'live in a world' feeling like Skyrim and not an endless respawn/death loop as you try and kill one difficult enemy like the Souls games.

Donald Lov Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The first game I'm excited for in over a year and a half. One of the few AAA developers that still remember how to make games. Lots of people are pissed off at From for once again borrowing gameplay mechanics from their older titles, but that's how it's always been done with them. The foundation laid by Demon's Souls all the way back in 2007 is still as solid as a rock; all they've been doing even since is expanding on it in a great fashion.

I hear you on that. I've never actually tried any of the Souls games but I've read about them and watched reviews. There's an inner masochist in me that kind of wants to try some really difficult games as I find them very rewarding when completed. Most games I play are a little casual in terms of difficulty. I may die here and there but ultimately there is so much content to get through, your better off just gliding through them. Having a 'live in a world' feeling would be nice. I think Skyrim is great at this. With the SE edition, getting materials to build my home and having that nice house kitted out with various different armour was nice. I'm not sure Elden Rings will be like that. Although, one can hope. If it wasn't, you'd have to wonder why they decided on making an open-world game as apposed to the usual style Soul's games. What attracted them to the open world? What is it about an open-world that Elden Ring can benefit from? Edit From the spoiler free summary at the start of this video the reviewer says this of the gameplay loop: "The Gameplay loop is to explore, defeat some enemies, gather equipment and reverse build based on your findings." "This isn't Dark Souls 4. This is Souls gameplay and systems with increased RPG elements and exploration." "Defeating bosses with friends is still awesome and multiplayer working well." "Open world is fun but expect more Dragons Dogma than Red Dead Redemption" Edited January 5, 2022 by Mister Pink String 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/977126-elden-ring-fromsoftware-2022/#findComment-1071768664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Lov Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The Souls games are extremely rewarding and enjoyable if you're willing to keep trying. Make no mistake, it's not one of those ridiculous games deliberately trying to f*ck you as hard as possible. It does require patience and perseverance, but if you're willing to embrace that, my God, you're in for an unforgettable experience. I'd assume Elden Ring, albeit a bit different from the rest of the lot, will be no different in that sense.

Tacymist Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Never played the Souls games, boss battles aren't really my thing.

So I might check it out if it's on GamePass. It's not and probably won't be for a long time, if ever. If it goes on any service in the nearish future it'll likely be Sony's Spartacus/PS Now I'm guessing. Gotta say tho and it's partly cause of the game drought atm, despite not being a fan of Dark Souls 1 when I tried it I'm kinda leaning towards picking this one up. It's open world and the exploration looks great, the visuals look great, the combat looks fun and I'm more used to slow clunkier combat stuff now than I was when I played DS1, but also from what I hear the game is much less ballachy when it comes to back tracking and retracing steps, more "checkpoints", if you will. I absolutely hate backtracking and retracing my steps in games and it's always been something that's put me off From's stuff in the past but it sounds much less of an issue here.

Jason Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Yea based on the previews out today I think I might just get this at launch. Sounds like the game has less back tracking to bosses, more customisation in terms of build etc. Sounds way more up my street and the world looks great.

Obviously having virtually 0 experience with From games I don't wanna go full send so I'm leaning towards Vagabond for the starting HP and melee, but the magic stuff looks great so I'm sorta leaning Prisoner for a swordcaster as well.
