- new areas
- new enemies
- new skills, new armors
- new bosses
- I think some Dark Souls bosses will make appearance

It's only 40 freakin bucks to play spin-off of the GOAT

 

[Fake]

No.

 

[SJRB]

Never doubt Fromsoftware.

 

[Damigos]

If it is only pvp / online based, then no.

 

[Kotaro]

If it is only pvp / online based, then no.

It's been confirmed that it can be played solo offline

 

[V1LÆM]

i'll wait and see. no reason to preorder. once i get more information i'll decide.

 

[Thief1987]

No, even for free

 

[Gideon]

There will be a network test in february so I'll decide then.

 

[John Bilbo]

I want to know more.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Maybe, I'll see what actual gameplay is like first.

 

[StereoVsn]

The question is if difficulty is adjusted accordingly or if the challenge remains the same.

Also, lots of questions if it’s more of the same or at least something new around the dungeon design.

Personally I didn’t get the DLC based on reviews of folks whose opinions I trust.

 

[Borowski_1]

No

Enough with the milking

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Yes. No reason not too. But not day 1. Too many games to beat first.

 

[Fabieter]

It's its slow season yes. Wouldn't ne my focus to play if there is other stuff coming up but I would definitely play it.

So more of same with what looks like same design. I would rather wait for proper sequel vs cash grab.

There are too many other great games are out there I haven’t gotten to and are going to be out next year.

 

[duck_sauce]

FromSoft Souls / EldenRing overstayed its welcome. I’m feeling fatigue. For me it went from something unique to something annual. Not very exciting.

 

[Metnut]

The combat in From games are good but it’s really not my favorite part of these games. I like the exploration and the constant sense of danger/high stakes.

Having my progress gate keeped by a hard boss that requires an hour plus to memorize the patterns/animations to beat is something I put up with because the other content is so good, but not something I enjoy. It’s weird cause usually I best the bosses on the 1st-2nd try but sometimes I get stumped and it takes dozens of tries.

This game seems to have the type of content I don’t really care for rather than what I like, so I’ll be passing.

 

[Banjo64]

Where’s the price confirmed OP please?

If it’s £34.99 I’ll be day one on Deck.

Re-rewatched the reveal trailer earlier and this actually looks really good IMO. Quick 30-60 minute From sessions 3 player co-op ultra focused? Sounds great to me.

Would seem to be a great go-to online game for me.

 

[thief183]

I am still playing DS 2 for the multiplayer alone, ofc I'll buy this.

 

[Schmendrick]

In general I really dislike the game principle with the shrinking maps.

But since it's From Software I'll not completely write it off, yet, and decide when I've seen more of it.

IGN reported on Twitter this to be a battle royale game with a randomized map.

Edit:

 

[kunonabi]

If boss patterns are still samey and the camera still absolute ass, then no, probably not.

 

[rofif]

No. I skipped the dlc and I will skip this. I am kinda sick of elden ring as of now.
I preferred Dark Souls game structure for replayability

 

[Aion002]

Unless I die.... Yes.

I will always buy From Software games.

 

[RoboFu]

Of course

 

[John Bilbo]

I guess technically you can play it solo but it is still a multiplayer game. Probably will not have an offline mode.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

From don't milk this series into another Halo

 

[Gojiira]

Yes, it sounds fun as fuck. From deserve the benefit of the doubt, their pricing is sublime for what they deliver, and this is something totally unique even amongst other Roguelikes. So yes, Day One.

 

[WaterOnix]

No interest

 

[Gojiira]

Edit:

Its not a Battle Royale…Stop feeding the idiots. It has the ‘ring closing in’ AT NIGHT thats where the similarities end. The game is a Roguelike, Co-op focused, not PvP….

 

[lughnasadh123]

Depends if this a "solo is doable and still a great experience" or a "solo is possible but it sucks bad enough you're not going to want to".

 

[IAmRei]

seems like MH, cool, more MH with different theme and feels are better for me

 

[Fbh]

Probably.
Me and a couple of friends are always looking for new Co-op stuff.

We've been going through Monster Hunter World this year, so this looks like it might be a fun next game to tackle. One of them is still on PS4 too so our options are kinda limited

 

[MiguelItUp]

It won't be full priced, and it's in the ER universe. Of course I'll buy it. I respect that it's something new that they haven't done across the board. I just hope I enjoy it and it lands hard. I feel like it will. It's hard to ever doubt them.

 

[ungalo]

Didn't buy the dlc in the end, i have even less interest in this. It's obviously a way to milk the game one last time. I don't even know to which extent the leads at FS are working on it.

 

[poodaddy]

Roguelite means hell no. I've got shit to do and that genre is just a time sink.

 

[killatopak]

When is the release date again?

I’m doing a From marathon and just completed DS1. I don’t want to get spoiled a boss fight in the earlier games when they appear in Nightreign.

 

[Sebastian1295]

I'm worn out on elden ring. Between the base game and the dlc i'm done with it and don't want anymore of it.

 

[John Bilbo]

Its not a Battle Royale…Stop feeding the idiots. It has the ‘ring closing in’ AT NIGHT thats where the similarities end. The game is a Roguelike, Co-op focused, not PvP….

Ah yes on closer inspection it seems to be a three person co-op. My bad.

Edit: The closer inspection

 

[Antwix]

Yeah I'll buy it day 1. Might even preorder if there's a bonus emote of something. I love the idea and really wanted them to have a side mode in elden ring (like BB chalices or sekiros gauntlet).

The only thing I'm concerned about is the balance regarding solo play. Don't really care for playing coop in these games.

edit : the mods on PC will probably be pretty cool as well

 

[thefool]

Probably no. I want good solid single player focused games.

 

[Woopah]

Very likely. I've been looking for a new online co op game for me and a friend to play after Deep Rock Galatic.

Not announced yet, just "2025". You'll likely have a 3-4month (give or take) gap from when the beta/network test concludes. Initial sign ups for that are in mid January.

 

[near]

I need to catch up with SotE, but I would play this and I wouldn't care even if they priced it at $60.

 

[Hohenheim]

Of course! Day 1.
I'll probably play it solo, because of mods for optimal performance.

 

[Evolved1]

No. Honestly this seems like pure cash-grab bullshit. Pretty gross, has been my first impressions.

 

[Kotaro]

I guess technically you can play it solo but it is still a multiplayer game. Probably will not have an offline mode.

It's confirmed it can be played offline

 

[Northeastmonk]

Definitely day 1. They’ll enhance characters with new abilities and the bosses will be a mix of classic bosses or all new ones.

I’m thinking we won’t see the new From Software game for another 4-5 years.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

This is very obviously a B-team effort (honestly probably C-team), no way I'm touching it
