Elden ring!

[BusinessMan]

Rejoice, ashen one



I'm ready for the next dark souls.

 

[Leviathus]

I wonder if there will be jousting pvp.

 

[p0ke]

^ I'd say it's looking pretty awesome so far!

 

[Siggevaio]

It looks fantastic, just as expected. They are adding a checkpoint system as well, which I think is a nice addition. Always found the run from a bonfire to the bossfights a bit tedious. At least the first 20 attempts before you learn the moveset of the boss.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

go watch vaatividya's gameplay vid, he spends 30 minutes just exploring parts of the game during network testing. It got me way more hyped than the official gameplay trailer. They added destructible environments and crafting elements as well.

 

[wankerness]

I like that the crafting elements sound like they're totally optional, like anything you can craft can be bought off vendors instead.

 

[Leviathus]

I'm still avoiding all the gameplay vids but idk if i'm gonna make it to Feb. I wonder if the deluxe edition just means "pre order DLC as well" or maybe you get Hodir's set or something?

Looking at the version breakdowns, there's literally nothing in those expensive editions that affects gameplay besides one "bonus gesture." No costumes, no in-game items, no nothing. Mostly just soundtrack, digital "adventure guide," and then a bunch of physical stuff for the most expensive version.

No DLC or season passes. I don't think Fromsoft has ever done those ahead of time? I dunno if they even plan on DLC, they never released any for Sekiro.

The network test videos made me decide it's time for an Xbox Series X so I've got one of those on the way to me now. This is really the only game I'm looking forward to so I'm stoked.

 

[wankerness]

I'm looking forward to a few things (particularly HZD2 and God of War 2), but these vids have definitely put this #1. The only thing I'm worried about is death runbacks, I didn't catch how that worked in any of the videos. Do you spawn from the "bonfire" equivalents, or was there some kind of secondary checkpoint thing?

There is a checkpoint system. You can find something called a "Stake of Marika" where you can choose to respawn instead of at a site of grace (bonfire). I have no idea of how frequent these will be but hopefully they are pretty close to the bossfights.

I did remember Iron Pineapple saying something about the boss runbacks being way less bad than some in the past, but didn't remember WHY. That must explain it!

vaati said they're typically next to very dangerous areas, like certain enemy camps and boss fights.

 

[Chri]

Any official word on whether next gen players will be able to connect with previous gen consoles? There's no way I'm going to be able to snag a Series X or PS5 before release, and I refuse to get the digital only variants.

I need me some Fromsoft pvp and DS3 has been dead for the last few years on Xbox. Always running into the same people over and over gets old quick.

 

[Mathemagician]

I wonder if there will be jousting pvp.

If there is hit detection and damage while mounted between two players, then you bet your bottom soul vessel there will be.

 

[philkilla]

Can't wait to play it.

 

[Adieu]

Huh

I 100% expected it to be a video doorbell review

 

[Leviathus]

Finally got around to pre-ordering, the hype is real now! Fingers crossed that launch goes smoothly next week.

 

[Mathemagician]

If there are mounted hitboxes, there will be. Health bar damage or not, lol.

 

[SamSam]

I think they confirmed that mounts cannot be used in multiplayer
