Do we play the game of guessing if the reviewer even beat Margit on Wednesday?

This trailer makes it look like everything will kill me. Starting to doubt if I should buy it. haha. Watching that dudes hair after playing Horizon all weekend is interesting.
 
Bamco should have send review copies earlier, not one week before embargo's end. Sony send Horizon two weeks in advance and still plenty of reviewers hadn't finished it in time.

There is, co op mode.

And spirit summons, ways to bypass legacy dungeons to git gud in further areas, teleport any time, a freaking mount that allows you to skip most enemies in the open world, ashes of war to tune your playing style how you want, OP beginning class armors, OP late game spells and COOP as you said.

But the game is freaking huge. I think only a few will finish it to begin with (not stuck on boss), while most will have seen the entire open world, and probably none who did the whole content including optional bosses. There's just too many.
 
Damn son, you're a patient man

We got a lot of quality games releasing. Triangle Strategy and Ghostwire Tokyo both release in March. Those were both day one for me. Currently playing GOTG which is excellent. 2022 is going to be a great year for gaming.

After so long, we're finally entering unto the final stretch. This week is already long enough. I tried to get the 25th off but no dice. I can't wait to get lost exploring the Lands Between Life and Hometown. Pour over every snippet of Lore and item description, listen to every npc possible. Try multiple strategies, and just have fun playing the game my way. Fashion Souls galore with every item. Among the absolute top game developers in the business that understand game design. Art and gameplay that is often imitated but never matched.

Hell yeah I am hyped, like with countless others it is with very good reason.
 
Decided to wait until they patch in raytracing. If they're smart they will use RTGI and RT emissive lighting.
I would be prepared for disappointment. How many open-world games with this scale are there with RTGI? From Software aren't known for being cutting-edge with the latest and trendiest graphical technologies.

On PC we already have several games using RTGI. Control, Metro, Cyberpunk, Dying Light 2, and even Fortnite. There are others I can't think of as well.

Yea but then this is From. As much as I like what is already presented, I'm not sure they can go full RTGI without serious help. It's probably going to be AMD console sponsered shadows (i.e. useless)

I really hope I'm proven wrong.

Super excited. I've beaten all modern FromSoft games except for Sekiro, but none even remotely at release. This will be the first one I experience alongside the rest of the community when everything hasn't been figured out yet.

I they are linked up with AMD it will be some bullshit. Im still gonna wait and see. RE Village was AMD sponsored and they used a form of raytraced lighting.
 
Getting build anxiety.

Really want to go pure strength, but I've been trying to avoid spoilers and I'm worried that I'm missing out on magic.

im torn between Wretch for maximun gameplay fun. Prisoner for coll backsroty/stats or Atrologer for trying somethig diferent.
 
I get a feeling like GameStop won't make it this week with the Collector's Edition. I bet CE's don't show up until next week. That's just a guess. I haven't been charged for mine yet and it's already Monday.
 
I've been seeing lots of gameplay videos with limited HUD (if any) on screen. Can anyone confirm if Elden Ring lets you configure HUD elements to your liking?

I think it was already dynamic durig the network test, fades away when you're not in combat. Only the compass was permanent if I remember correctly but they might have changed that
 
Imagine watching 6 min of spoilers when the game is so close...

I've watched it a few times, there really isn't that much in there. It gives high level goals of the game and not much else. Plus, this is a meaty game for sure and I can't imagine FS blowing their. . .shot like this in a six minute video. Reminds me of some of the gameplay videos from CP77: most of it was pretty much cribbed from the prologue before you even got to the title screen.

Looking at OPENCRITIC, 9 out of the 122 reviewers were posted after Feb. 14 and only 4 after release. I'm highly dubious of the main content size being the issue. It is almost surely people potentially beating their heads against a wall and a review timer.

In 72 hours, I will be playing the greatest game ever made.

Definitely, which sucks because I'd like there to be full-game reviews and instead we'll probably get half-reviews that project what the end game will be based on the first half or so.
 
In case anyone wouldn't mind having some more of Elden Ring spoiled before Friday - here is a brand new trailer. I haven't seen it but apparently, it's damn good.


It's like BOTW, Skyrim and Dark Souls had a threesome and produced a 3 way baby.

The gameplay and depth look simply stunning.

But am I the only one thinking that the graphics seems to vary from:

1. wow.
2. that looks nice,
3. Is this an early Xbox360 game?

Hey From, can you do us all a favour and release the game early before a certain Russian man decides he wants to fuck shit up everywhere?

Thanks.
 
You gotta be fucking kidding me, sure it not "next gen" game but early 360 game? Seriously!?

How the fuck game like this looks like early 360 game, please someone explain that to me.

You're clearly NOT the nicest person on the forum. And you cherry picked my post to boot. As you know perfectly well, I was referring to the variability in graphics quality which is not the same thing as painting it all as poor..maybe it's the art style throwing me off? But there are scenes that just look bland and low res to me. I may or may not be alone.

No need to throw a hiss fit...I am obviously not trolling.

Is this your first From game? :p

They were always like this, some areas look amazing while others are full of lava and dragon ass.

Those game's aren't for those looking for technical marvel (many of those already out there) but for those who enjoy a slower and methodical gameplay.
