I didn't say anything about review scores, I said "universally". If you meant you got mixed signals from the game itself or its marketing, you should explain what they actually are. But you won't, because you're just making this thread because the last multiple Elden Ring threads archived half an hour ago and you can't have that.
If you like Open World games and Soulsborne games, it's worth it.
Though a lot of people are put off by the terrible enemy scaling, repeated content, as well as typical soulsborne filtering. It's still an amazing game with a lot of interesting spells, and the ashes of war system is really really cool.
man i'm looking to hop back in this once the DLC drops, that souls itch been coming up slowly and id normally replay 1 or 2 again with a new build but im saving it for the DLC, when we thinking it's coming bros?
It's the best video game yet.
Just play it.
Do NOT search for ANY help online. If you're impatient, or lack the sense of adventure/discovery, you don't deserve to enjoy this.
Don't think of 100%ing on your first playthrough, the game is made so you miss half the side content.
Then you either NG+ for the challenge and achievements, or start a 2nd save to feel like a god gamer.
This, but at the same time, I did need to double check where the mistwoods were because when I was tasked to go there I had just discovered liurnia lake, which is a misty wooden area, and combed that place instead of the mistwood area. All I am saying is that I think that sometimes everybody needs a way to double check where to go.
Nah frick this you can get to NG+ 7 and still have zero clue on how to continue a side quest because after what seemed to be a logical thread you now need to continue the quest by going to Zanzibart's grave that you passed decades of hours ago and there's zero hints on having to go there
Solid 5/10, I got 30 mediocre hours out of it. Legacy dungeons are average quality Dark Souls areas chopped up by a pointless, boring open world that is all style over substance. The side dungeons are some of the most abysmal shit I've ever seen From put out. Build variety is apparently good, but I'll never go back to confirm this.
>Legacy dungeons are average quality Dark Souls areas chopped up by a pointless
Shitty bait. Stormcastle is what they've been trying to accomplish since Boletaria but perfected, it's probably the single best-designed area in any Souls game. The capital is also much more fully realized than Anor Londo ever was. The only really weak part is Redmane Castle, which barely feels like a dungeon at all.
You're wrong either way, the first dungeon is shit, has no invisible walls or puzzles, no interesting enemies and no interesting encounters. none of the design is impressive and almost every enemy is completely static without pathing, this is worse than even the first level of DS3
I'd engage with this but your exagerrated negativity tells me that you are being willfully ignorant to the game's design so it would be a pointless argument. Have your (You) and go.
DS3's first level has moving enemies, a gimmick where guards spotting you wakes otherwise harmless enemies, those black slug monster things that jump out at you, assassin type enemies, a dragon, a knight, a mimic guys that throw firebombs at you, the huge spinny dudes and two really good bosses, Vordt and the Dancer. It also has the secret merchant/hub follower guy. Stormveil has godrick and margit, the former being the best boss in the game and even then he's just an "okay" DS3 boss.
is stormveil being the least mediocre thing in the game even a good thing, it's literally the first level in the game proper

Margit shits on the whole Ds3 roster and he's not even the best boss in his game. Most Ds3 bosses are overrated as shit because the game's combat boils down to roll roll r1 r1 against very predictable patterns that don't do much damage anyway if they hit you.

>run past everyting right to the boss and beat it first try
First soul game?
I think so. the boss first that you will most likely encounter by the first castle sucks major ass, but don't let it discourage you. Many bosses have a sweep attack that you can jump over and deal extra damage when countering with a jump attack. On another note, do anybody have any tips on how to include the ashes of war into any playstyle? They just kind of feel like you trade efficiency for style whenever I try them out with my claymore.
>the boss first that you will most likely encounter by the first castle sucks major ass
lol >do anybody have any tips on how to include the ashes of war into any playstyle?
like what? there's no singular ash of war playstyle, what are you trying to use?
>that pic
I am livid, anon. > what are you trying to use?
This is my first playthrough, and I went into this game blind, but I want to use buffs to increase my damage. I am building a faith build with a claymore.
Ashes of war are by far one of the most powerful, versatile, and efficient things in the entire game, you should be switching them out and trying different ones every chance you get.
>Claymore
Lion's Claw is a stagger machine, with no more with up than a charged attack and some reach too. You can easily use it after running/moving from slower attacks or baiting some attacks with range
I love the stomp skill since it makes you duck and then counter attack, but it's not really the flashy ashes of war that I would like to try out. I also like the claymores lion's leap or whatever its called that does like 2x the damage of a fully charged heavy attack. I would like to use the roar, but I don't know when. When i try it out I eat shit.
Ok I will try more of them. So far i've only experimented with the faith ashes.
You mean War Cry/Barbaric Roar? You use those primarily for the buff, but the charge attacks can be nice for a poise build too. There are other buff ashes you can get later that are great, but even with them you should still try messing around with different ashes as you get them. There's a ton of them, most are good if not great, and its generally not a good idea to just use the same thing for every fight.
Two strong, easy to use options off the top of my head:
Stormblade: Adds a projectile. It lets you attack and range, or if used up close, you get the damage from both the sword hitting and the projectile. It's just as fast if not faster than your regular attack.
Flame slash: Fast as frick and the followup buffs your sword with fire. Often staggers.
We just had a famitsu thread where most of the posts argued that Elden Ring is movieshit because Fromsoft spends too much time and money on cinematics and graphics.Can any fans clarify this?
For me it's among the best games ever made, but I guess it depends on your tastes and what you value in games. If you value atmosphere, exploration, art direction, combat, and lore you'll fricking love it. If you're one of those morons who plays Souls like they're character action games or PvP battle arenas, you'll hate it.
It's OK. I think they stretched themselves too thin. I've completely forgotten everything that didn't take place in one of the primary "dungeon" areas outside of joining the PVP faction. A lot of copy and pasted content that makes the game feel too long for its own good. I dropped the second I beat the Godskin Noble, I just didn't give a shit anymore.
Here's my quick and dirty guide: >Have never played a Souls title before and you don't despise open world games
Go for it, you'll probably have a good time. Might even end up loving it. >Played 1 or more Souls titles and still enjoy them and don't hate open world games.
Safe bet you'll like it. >Never played a Souls title before and hate open world games
Depends on what you hate about open world games, some things are tweaked, in particular things are a lot less hand-holdy, and there are a few really cool secrets to find, but it's not redefining how an open world is designed in general. >Played 1 or more Souls titles and still enjoy them, despise open world games.
See the above, overall you still get the 'pure' souls experience with the legacy dungeons but you do have to wade through the open world to get there. >Played 1 or more Souls titles and are experiencing Souls fatigue.
Don't bother.
The only Souls fatigue I experienced is when I got back from Elden Ring to Dark Souls 1 and there weren't guard counters tbh
I don't care for the open world but pretty much every aspect of the game feels like a fix or major improvement of the Souls trilogy
There are quite a few issues I take with ER, most of them centre around its use of the open world, but in terms of 'Souls Fatigue' I'm specifically talking about: 1) How Souls-like titles made by From have largely stuck to incremental improvements to the systems design, leaving each game feeling quite samey. This is fine up to a point, but I've played every one of Souls titles since DeS (plus KF4, which has a lot of similarities in and of itself, but the 1st Person perspective effects the feel and control of the game significantly) and I'm at a point where I feel like I've been there, done that. 2) Boss and enemy design has become a parody of itself. Way too much of a focus on keeping combat 'pure' and focussed on the ARPG defensive-offensive back and forth, it's been a race to to the bottom between From and the playerbase for way too long now.
I will say that, had this been my first rodeo, I would probably have enjoyed the game a hell of a lot more than I did.
But, the universal consensus is that it is garbage AND I'm the kind of individual who believes that Dark Souls 2, Nioh 1 and Code Vein are legitimately good, even great, games so take my words with a giant grain of salt.
Shit, I meant 2022. Still, my point stands. I loved Elden Ring because I can't get enough of Soulslikes but the average anon hated the game. You probably will hate it too, OP.
>universal consensus
a few shrieking trannies (like yourself) on Ganker is not universal consensus
Plenty of universally loathed games get high Steam scores. Isn't that Cyberpunk 2077's current Steam score?
A well-liked game doesn't have polarized threads, because most people agrees that the game is good at the very worst.
Elden Ring is one of those games that was impossible to discuss on launch and even now people (like OP) are hesitant to buy it due how polarizing the game ended being.
maybe that was true 5 years ago, but not now that trannies found out they get a sexual thrill from shitting on every game that gets even a little bit of praise
Nah, it's still true.
Games like most Platinum Games games or Nintendo games are unanimously loved and anons don't hesitate to play them.
The same isn't true for games like Elden Ring or Armored Core 6.
>Games like most Platinum Games games or Nintendo games are unanimously loved

Statement tossed, why would anyone listen to someone who lets someone else live in the head rent free. Just because a game (a souls game) gets good reviews doesn't really mean anything if were going by the masses. It has flaws with its content and honestly after playing all the souls games and Bloodborne I can safely say I think Elden Ring was as stale as it gets. It doesn't even try to attempt something new(ish) like Bloodborne or Sekiro. Beyond the same souls gameplay we've seen a hundred times it's also a mess balance wise. You can out level yourself and even miss entire zones/bosses only to come back and completely stomp them like they're nothing. The open world is pointless and serves no purpose other than to waste your time.
it's polarizing because >it's too popular >filters a lot of shitters >is too long for zoomers >people who skipped all the side content to rush the marathon to NG, against the devs advice, found themselves too burnt out to continue playing because they literally played the game wrong
and all the shitposting these sour grapes generated is still drowned out by the non-zoomer, non-casul (real games)
Who care about universal consensus?
Demon Souls is worshipped like the second coming of the Jesus Christ , but that doesn’t mean every one will like it that way.
Just play the game and have your own opinion.
I avoided Strangers of Paradise because it seems to be a meme game.
As, a game whose sole selling point is the memes; I've never seen anyone actually discussing the game itself beyond a few people calling it a shitty Nioh. Which is a shame because I loved both Nioh games so I would like to play more of the same.
It’s, from a gameplay standpoint, extremely fun and polished, I only have a few hours in Nioh so I can’t say any comparison, but it’s real responsive and snappy, with your standard gear treadmill for items
The amount of mix-matching with skills and play styles is honestly insane
It also has a surprisingly good story if you’re the type to like Noh-theater sort of “emotion first” story telling
The game was a 6/10 at best on release, but the patches boost it to maybe an 8/10 for me. The weapons were SO SLOW before. It sucked so hard, especially later on. It felt like I was a Dark Souls 2 man fighting in a Bloodborne world.
Its a good game but dont bother exploring everything after limgrave. Most of the side content is shit and the snow areas are the worst offenders. Just do the main story with a bit of side exploring
If you decide to play it, don’t roll spam.
Experiment with the jump attack iframe, guard countering, and etc.
Don’t be those roll spam homosexuals who would proceed to complain about it like a shitter.
Or just roll spam. I beat the game by being a rollspamming homosexual. Never bothered with jump attacks and I couldn't get guard countering to work no matter what I tried.
Elden Ring is an excellent game with an overworld that truly feels alive and like it has a history. The gameplay is smooth and has tons of options for variety and nuance. Go into it with a mind for exploration, while acknowledging that you don't have to venture through absolutely everything before tackling the legacy dungeons, and you'll have a satisfying, memorable blast of a time.
My first souls game, 80 hours in. Once it clicked I thought it was the best game ever. Now I'm towards the endgame and just feel like rushing the rest. It starts to become too punishing for too little reward. Even exploration loses its charm when you realise every area just has recycled ruins, caves, dungeons etc. with mobs in between
Yeah, it's great.
It was universally praised. You did not get mixed signals. You're shitposting.
I don't care about review scores homie
I didn't say anything about review scores, I said "universally". If you meant you got mixed signals from the game itself or its marketing, you should explain what they actually are. But you won't, because you're just making this thread because the last multiple Elden Ring threads archived half an hour ago and you can't have that.
Ah so you care about the handful of braindead schizophrenic Ganker that spout complete and utter nonsense. Makes sense.
Worth... what? Honestly posting here is a better expense of your time than modern games
>no sequel
>no dlc
Game bombed and everyone hates it now. Only Demon Souls is any good because it was a Playstation exclusive.
New Demon Souls sucks because they butchered the artstyle and directly fricked with the lore by doing so.
yes
If you like Open World games and Soulsborne games, it's worth it.
Though a lot of people are put off by the terrible enemy scaling, repeated content, as well as typical soulsborne filtering. It's still an amazing game with a lot of interesting spells, and the ashes of war system is really really cool.
It's the best game I have ever played
Absolutely. The only people on Ganker who would tell you otherwise are being contrarian fricktards.
It's literally Soulsborne perfected. You got memed by shitposters lol
if by perfect you mean 1000 hours of shitty filter

It's okay. The game just feels too formulaic and padded out after a while of playing it.

>Legacy dungeons are average quality Dark Souls areas chopped up by a pointless
Shitty bait. Stormcastle is what they've been trying to accomplish since Boletaria but perfected, it's probably the single best-designed area in any Souls game. The capital is also much more fully realized than Anor Londo ever was. The only really weak part is Redmane Castle, which barely feels like a dungeon at all.
>Stormcastle
that's not even what it's called pajeet
I haven't played it in almost a year give me a break motherfricker!!!
You're wrong either way, the first dungeon is shit, has no invisible walls or puzzles, no interesting enemies and no interesting encounters. none of the design is impressive and almost every enemy is completely static without pathing, this is worse than even the first level of DS3
I'd engage with this but your exagerrated negativity tells me that you are being willfully ignorant to the game's design so it would be a pointless argument. Have your (You) and go.
what was the puzzle on the first level of DS3
DS3's first level has moving enemies, a gimmick where guards spotting you wakes otherwise harmless enemies, those black slug monster things that jump out at you, assassin type enemies, a dragon, a knight, a mimic guys that throw firebombs at you, the huge spinny dudes and two really good bosses, Vordt and the Dancer. It also has the secret merchant/hub follower guy. Stormveil has godrick and margit, the former being the best boss in the game and even then he's just an "okay" DS3 boss.

I don't care for the open world but pretty much every aspect of the game feels like a fix or major improvement of the Souls trilogy
Guard counters are so good. Especially with a two handed weapon. I dunno how anyone can go back to playing without them.
There are quite a few issues I take with ER, most of them centre around its use of the open world, but in terms of 'Souls Fatigue' I'm specifically talking about: 1) How Souls-like titles made by From have largely stuck to incremental improvements to the systems design, leaving each game feeling quite samey.

It doesn't even try to attempt something new(ish) like Bloodborne or Sekiro. Beyond the same souls gameplay we've seen a hundred times it's also a mess balance wise. You can out level yourself and even miss entire zones/bosses only to come back and completely stomp them like they're nothing. The open world is pointless and serves no purpose other than to waste your time.
There's not a single game that everyone on Ganker loves. Check any thread right now and you'll see shitposters everywhere.
it's polarizing because
>it's too popular
>filters a lot of shitters
>is too long for zoomers
>people who skipped all the side content to rush the marathon to NG, against the devs advice, found themselves too burnt out to continue playing because they literally played the game wrong
and all the shitposting these sour grapes generated is still drowned out by the non-zoomer, non-casul (real games)
the reverse is actually true. Good games attract concentrated long-term shitposting, bad games are quickly forgotten.
Who care about universal consensus?
Demon Souls is worshipped like the second coming of the Jesus Christ , but that doesn’t mean every one will like it that way.
Just play the game and have your own opinion.
It’s easily the second best game of 2022
what's the first?
Strangers of paradise of course
Wrong
I avoided Strangers of Paradise because it seems to be a meme game.
As, a game whose sole selling point is the memes; I've never seen anyone actually discussing the game itself beyond a few people calling it a shitty Nioh. Which is a shame because I loved both Nioh games so I would like to play more of the same.
It's not necessarily a shitty Nioh but it is Nioh-but-worse
It’s, from a gameplay standpoint, extremely fun and polished, I only have a few hours in Nioh so I can’t say any comparison, but it’s real responsive and snappy, with your standard gear treadmill for items
The amount of mix-matching with skills and play styles is honestly insane
It also has a surprisingly good story if you’re the type to like Noh-theater sort of “emotion first” story telling
>extremely fun and polished
Ganker says exactly this about shovelware like the Senran Kagura games (which I've actually tried) so I can't trust you.
>I only have a few hours in Nioh so I can’t say any comparis
Exactly.
xc3 is the only game last year that is acceptable to say is better than ER.
It's been over a year and the sale isn't even 50%. Meanwhile Diablo 4 goes on sale in a month.
What does the evidence tell you?
The game was a 6/10 at best on release, but the patches boost it to maybe an 8/10 for me. The weapons were SO SLOW before. It sucked so hard, especially later on. It felt like I was a Dark Souls 2 man fighting in a Bloodborne world.
Nah, you’re better off playing something else. It’s mid.
>soldier of godrick. . .forgive me. ..
Its fromsoft shit with open world shit
If you like those shits you will like it
absolutely yes
Elden Ring is the best game of the decade so far and it's not close
Its a good game but dont bother exploring everything after limgrave. Most of the side content is shit and the snow areas are the worst offenders. Just do the main story with a bit of side exploring
It's a very good game, don't listen to extremists from both sides
If you decide to play it, don’t roll spam.
Experiment with the jump attack iframe, guard countering, and etc.
Don’t be those roll spam homosexuals who would proceed to complain about it like a shitter.
Or just roll spam. I beat the game by being a rollspamming homosexual. Never bothered with jump attacks and I couldn't get guard countering to work no matter what I tried.
flavor of the month
games dead until DLC launch
meh, boring copypasta ubishart design
I played it last year so my hype factor has worn off, and let me tell you it truly is kino of the highest order
Yes.
Elden Ring is an excellent game with an overworld that truly feels alive and like it has a history. The gameplay is smooth and has tons of options for variety and nuance. Go into it with a mind for exploration, while acknowledging that you don't have to venture through absolutely everything before tackling the legacy dungeons, and you'll have a satisfying, memorable blast of a time.
My first souls game, 80 hours in. Once it clicked I thought it was the best game ever. Now I'm towards the endgame and just feel like rushing the rest. It starts to become too punishing for too little reward. Even exploration loses its charm when you realise every area just has recycled ruins, caves, dungeons etc. with mobs in between
>Mixed signals
You're a moron. You fell for the troony psyop on this shithole of all places.
The game is one of the best open-world games you will play and is universally liked despite what mentally ill people on here say.
