I dont care about Elden Ring much but you've got to respect that intro. Great job chamber.

A boss towards the beginning of this game is kicking my ass right now. I know I should probably come back, but I come so close to beating him each try. All I can hear in the back of my mind is “hesitation is defeat”.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm just hoping my copy from Best Buy isn't late.

 

[NickFire]

Still blown away by the scores it picked up. What a day for everyone, regardless of platform. Never believed a company would hit the nail this head on for two generations of machines. i hope they blow their sales expectations out of the water.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Black Chamber congrats. thats a lot of work

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Soulsborne vets - what do you think of the difficulty? Is it challenging?

 

[Juras]

Sorry but this thread has stronger System Requirements than game itself.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Nice work Black Chamber ! Enjoy the night/tomorrow and the many playthroughs to come along the years everyone.

 

[DavidGzz]

Fucking trainee came in so I have to train her instead of play this. How much can we talk about what we are doing in the game, btw? Like can we talk about certain enemies and where we found them? Besides bosses and the lore, does anything go or only in a spoiler thread?

I guess it's enough if you just tag anything you'd consider a spoiler. Enemies, locations, items, bosses... I would put all of that in spoiler tags.

A boss towards the beginning gave me some trouble for a while but I eventually beat him. Probably would’ve been easier to level up and come back, but he wasn’t too bad once I got used to his moveset. It’s definitely going to be a challenge initially for newcomers.

Congratulations Black Chamber for the great OT
Have fun with the game Elden Ring bros

 

[Black Chamber]

Black Chamber mods told me I’m suppose to give you some love.

Thanks for the thread you did a great job with it.

You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it

That's why I said if it had shadows and ambient occlusion it would literally trump nearly all games graphics-wise. This is the kind of art that is clearly a vision from really creative artists.

Agreed 110%.

I truly hope that the RT patch adds shadows when holding a torch

Thank you all so much!

Did you like the accompanying soundtrack?

 

[JimboJones]

I think the game looks kinda shit but well done, this is an impressive thread. I hope you enjoy the game. If not I will look forward to the equally impressive thread about why you think it was a disappointment.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Exceptional work Black Chamber ! So stoked for everyone to hop into the Lands Between soon!

Copying from disc on ps5 is strange. Disc starts and stops(but files still copy). Usually with other games it spins fast until it is finished.

[Havoc2049]

I hope my collector's edition gets here today.

 

[The Real Napsta]

This just popped up in my shorts feed lmao

 

[Ladioss]

I've just discovered my preorder was canceled last december without me noticing it. I instantly bought a steam key, hopefully preload finish its job in time for EU release (and my potato PC can run it).

 

[midasmulligan]

Can someone help? Also how do you level up in the game? Is there a video explaining leveling?

In before internet - Git Gud? /s honestly, no idea, don’t have the game yet

 

[Caffeine]

pretty sweet ot i got it preloaded.

I started working on this OT on June 10th - Right after seeing and being incredibly overwhelmed with hype by the Elden ring gameplay trailer at the Summer Game Fest...and I just finished it right beforevI wrote this -- at 5:20 AM on Wednesday, February 23rd 2022.

That's a solid 8 months of effort and hard work to put this thing together.

Creating gifs isn't the easiest thing & having filesize limitations governing where you can host them is even tougher; especially when you're shooting for at least an HD quality to every gif. FromSoftware is one of the greatest game developers ever and I felt that they deserved the hard work and effort I put into this OT, due to the likewise manner in which they produce their products.

I'm always inspired by other OT creators everywhere. Here, there's Komatsu & cormack12, there's Zeta Dragoon, regawdless, Kadayi, HariSeldon & Mista on D-Pad & there's ifirez and vestan on Era. Everyone has their own unique style and take on things and it's always such an incredible pleasure to view the hard work of others and see their hype pour out through their art.

I truly & sincerely hope that you enjoyed this OT. I apologize for the load time, but it was necessary for the quality of the images

All my love & respect,

Thank you for this EPIC EPIC EPIC OT! Learned so much more about the game. Super hyped! See you guys out in The Lands Between . Best

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I just started and I think I'm already going to reroll my character.

I chose golden seed as my starting gift, didn't realize there would stoneward key locked area in beginner area.

anyone explore this area? for all I know it could have a golden seed!

I've already preloaded the game, but now I'm wondering if I should just uninstall it and download it again when it releases. On Steam, I feel that the unpack step takes twice as long as the download, at least with my internet bandwidth.

Whatever gets me in-game fastest.

I'm in the same boat. Though about the doing just that, uninstalling and then downloading once the game is out, but... What if Steam's servers go fuck once everyone starts downloading?

Yea I guess you're right. One in the hand, 2 in the bush.

 

[GymWolf]

Man how do you play this game lol so I died again before I could retrieve my ruins and now its all gone?

Also the IQ is pretty bad on Series X, compare to what I expected

 

[Ristifer]

Legendary OT. Well done, Chamber! Not sure when I'll even have my hands on the game itself, but I'm hoping it'll be soon. Just along for the ride right now.

Best wishes fren, hopefully it arrives tomorrow and they don't mess it up for you again like with SMT V.

My plan is to play just one or two hours tonight, then go to sleep and no-life the game tomorrow, since I have the day off.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

That's a meaty 1st post right there, OP

I'm definitely considering picking this up, even if just for PS4 (I hope it would be upgradable to PS5 version later with that $10 upgrade fee). Although at the pace I'd likely play it, it'd take years for me to finish :S

 

[Danjin44]

Dont remind me....

i know i´m going to nap. This night the journey begins. I take the friday off work. Talk to my girlfriend, all set.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

Can someone tell me, with as few spoilers as possible, where to get a 100% phys block shield at the start of the game? I'm rolling samurai

 

[DavidGzz]

Ok, home now on my CX. It looks beautiful and is super smooth. God bless VRR. My wretch got his first two drops off the first soldier kill. His helmet and long sword. It's coming together..This is amazing

 

[Hinedorf]

When 3PM hits I'm both off work and the game is live but I'm just struggling on a decision for class/build. Having only really played BB and Sekiro to completion I don't fully know what to expect in a DS character build though I've done plenty of research. Was considering Confessor magic sword/shield hybrid but also read a lot of stuff that hybrid and not solid focus can make you too weak in end game.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Again, Black Chamber has done GAF proud with this amazing OT. I remember fondly putting together the original Demon's Souls/Dark Souls OTs, what a legacy of amazing FromSoft/Soulsborne OTs we have here.

Now I wish I had a free and clear schedule this evening so I could just dive into this for hours. Such is life though, hope I can get a few hours in before I am completely exhausted

Okay you convinced me on going wretch. Did the same in DS3 and really enjoyed growing up step by step.

Great work OP, the game deserves this Thread.

This will be a great journey for all Souls fans....

A new adventure is coming
