Easy to learn and lots of potential for new and old fighting game players.

Really hard to get into these days, but still a super fun game.

Better than DS2 but that's really about it. Elden Ring has got a ton of issues, many of them being basic things that aren't really an issue in their other games. Dodge rolls have a delay (still? or again? I don't remember it feeling this sluggish in the DS games), the horse movement is so bad that they should have just made it so we run around like the flash, stats were messed up too (30 vitality in DS is more potent than 40 vitality is in this.), and despite fixing weapon arts and making them ashes the're still very mediocre in my opinion.

When Elden Ring is good, it is so so so good. But when Elden Ring is bad, specifically because they wanted it to be, it is really reall reallllllllly bad. FromSoft is absolutely capable of building and making some amazing games, just look at BloodBorne and Sekiro. But Elden Ring is several steps backwards and they should have done better.


Edit after 100 hours:

Map is actually 75% water that you can't explore, every ruin looks the same no matter what area you are in, and all of the optional dungeons are either a mine or catacomb. So overall after basically finishing the game... It's an incredibly bland open world, filled with nothing but repetitive visuals and mediocre gameplay. This is absolutely Dark Souls 2.5, it even plays with most of the core ideas that DS2 failed to implement. But they also failed in this.


QUICK NOTE:
Some of us are playing this because the online in the DS games is going to be down until FromSoft beings them back online. The netcode in this is the same netcode from Dark Souls 1, the Demon's Souls Remaster on the PS5 has better visuals/netcode/and overall design. FromSoft should contact them and ask for some professional help on how to make an acceptable game these days, because it's clearly been lost on them.


Edit after 200 hours:
FromSoft added in quest lines because they forgot about those NPCs before they launched the game.

The game is legitimately amazing, there is always something to do and you don't need an alt character to get content. Everything can be done on one character and the community is super chill for the most part. 95% of people will be willing to help you, the other 5% are loud and stupid but don't matter.

I have avoided this game since 2016 because of people saying it was a terrible fighting game.. Turns out they were wrong and this game is actually a lot of fun, and I'm sad I listened to folks who didn't know what they were talking about.

It's like if DayZ was actually a good game.

This is a very charming game with a great soundtrack and beautiful environments. It's a game with a lot of action and a TON of puzzles ranging from easy to hard as hell. Easily worth the 20 dollars.

They really like changing things that are fine and leaving the BS in the game.

Don't play this unless you enjoy being juggled until you lose a character, or getting hit for 60% health with super attacks.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game and all. It just gets really old when there is no way to get out of a juggling scenario because you were unable to read an obscure move and now you've lost all three of your characters. It is bad game design to allow that kinda thing in my opinion. Game is worth like 5 bucks if you can snag it when it's on sale or something though.

Great game, just beware of most players that use Bardin.. They are the ones that typically end up getting a good run just totally tossed out the window. Or they shoot you in the back until you die and tell you that it's your fault their crosshair was aimed at you for a whole 10 seconds. Super fun game otherwise!
