Yea I mean I did manage to beat Margit now

I’m doing a legit no summon playthrough, so can only use ashes or npc summons only, on a faith build this time

Nice. I went back to my save and I can continue to NG+4, so I started again for the dlc. Iirc they increased greatsword damage a long time ago. What level are you? I got my new character to 15 yesterday.

17 I think, I decided that Stormveil was hitting a bit too hard so the West Pennisula it is for now, the same thing I did the first time around

 

[xpresstuning]

Yeah, i fucking knew it. It was already one of the greatest games i've ever played.

This expansion will make it the greatest game i've ever played in my entire life. 1 entire year i will reserve for this.

If my "standard is low" for liking this game's visuals then fine by me.

From Softs games are proof to me that its Art & Design over ground breaking graphics

You can still go back to Demons Souls on PS3 or even Armored Core games on PS2 and not be bothered by the its visuals...

Now go back to Heavy Rain and its fucking nightmare fuel and that game was "high tech" for its time.

Once again there is more evidence that devs hate me!

Totally forgot that SMT5 Vengeance releases the same day as Shadow of the Erdtree. Welp... guess we'll have to clone ourselves.

I mean, I'll buy it anyway, but $40 is in-effin'-sane price tag, especially if they're again will be copy & pasting / reusing "bosses" dozens of times.
I sure hope that From at the very least will expand the already existing map and integrate this DLC into the main game to seamlessly transition from one of the endings into the expansion and continue playing.

The main game's map is gigantic and empty, there's almost nothing there to find and explore beyond groups of enemies, somewhat the same looking dungeons and story locations. The map below is severely underused in comparison to what's on the surface and it'll be cool to see and explore more of what lies bellow along with more and new meaningful content above.

welp here it is, the dumbest thing i've read today.

Kind of wish this would release in September. Sweating indoors on summer playing elden ring doesn't sound awesome. Yes, I could just play it later, but I am too weak willed for that.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Hey

what if the new colossal sized katana is named "Oceans of Blood"

 

[simpatico]

2024 is a good year for gaming thanks to this even if nothing else comes out. FromSoft is so far ahead of everyone else it's not even funny. Capcom might be the only other studio in contention, and they're even a clear (but respectable) step below.

There is this magical tool called an air conditioner.

Opening narrator kind of sounds like the actor from black sails/hunter killer.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

I was supposed to wait until close to release to pick up Elden Ring again. But the trailer reignited my love for the game. I fired it up last week just for a bit and now, just like that, I am all the way back in. Played hundreds of hours already and still so many completely unexplored places on the map. Went and found Mohgwyn's Palace last night, killed his ass, and all ready for the DLC. Just the environmental storytelling in that one area alone is so damn good. Not to mention the view... It really is the greatest video game ever made.

I need to explore the consecrated Snowfield more, find and kill Melania, and I suppose get to the last bosses and actually beat the game. Guess I have plenty of time before June 21st. This game rules. BG3 was and is amazing, but I was foolish to think that any recent game was close to ER. Ten minutes back in The Lands Between makes it clear that this game is on a different level than anything that has come out in a long time.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like they're using the same ESRB description as from the base game.

 

[DelireMan7]

​

Basically a description of the main game and main bosses (Godrick, Malenia...). Or I miss something new ?

"Retrieve a magical ring" xD

You're not missing anything, I've just checked and it's basically the same. Was hoping for some new info...

With this rating description remove the Title of "Elden Ring", and it could literally describe any Fromsoft game

 

[Gideon]

Godwyn finally?

 

[simpatico]

GOTY and it won’t be close. In fact, they should leave 2-5 empty just to really memorialize how big the gap is.

 

[Danjin44]

Godwyn finally?

Interesting, It has bunch of accursed Omen horns.

 

[Gideon]

Hopefully we also get to see that godskin queen if I spelled it correctly.

 

[EviLore]

Godwyn finally?

Elden Ring boss or female reproductive system?

 

[FeralEcho]

Godwyn finally?

It looks like it's holding double boomerangs,the same kind of weapon the skeleton on the horse in the trailer was holding.

I wonder who it is.

The long hair similar to Marika and "unfathomable power" line makes me think Godwyn resurrected but Omen horns throw it off a bit,unless....

Crazy theory: Godwyn was an Omen baby as well and it was just hidden from the people because he was supposed to be The Order's Golden boy. Afterall Morgott is also unknown to be Omen to the people of Leyndell,he appears as Margit whenever outside.

I am gonna buy both and decide with a coin flip.

 

[iHaunter]

Danjin44 will you still send assassins after me?

They are called chakrams!

 

[Chuck Berry]

I might as well just join PS+ for a month and hopefully get one of you guys to help me kill Maliketh. I feel like Im one of the only ones here that hasnt finished.

 

[Hohenheim]

Elden Ring boss or female reproductive system?

Probably both!

You could cheese him with Envoy Longhorn+9 skill. You just need Holy Crystal Tear in flask mix and the Alexander Shard talisman.

 

[Danjin44]

Thankfully Atlus decide push the release date forward, now SMT5V is coming out in June 14.

I probably end up jumping between the two games.

No Im not doing that Im sticking with what Ive been using for the past 130+ hours

 

[Hudo]

Elden Ring boss or female reproductive system?

Yes.

 

[NeverYouMind]

What are you using?

 

[Chuck Berry]

What are you using?

I guess its prob considered a str/dex build. Im using a maxed Bloodhounds Fang with a high level brass shield. And then Ive got my mimic.

You need a weapon that can reach far quickly for phase 2 and I do not think Bloodhound Fang is that weapon.

Nah Ive gotten real close a few times. I know I can do it, Im just being lazy. Also Ive never tried the co op.

Terrible day to be an Omen.

I want it now. Give it.

Ha yes I forgot about that! I will do the same then.

I can't decide which character I want to bring to the DLC. My first (sorceries user) is at the beginning of NG+ and I'd have to play through a large portion of the game to get to the DLC but my 2nd character is just at the end of the game after beating EB but I really want to use magic again for the DLC. I could just respec my 2nd character so that he is identical to my 1st but I'd have to grind items and smithing stones all over again.

For the DLC you just need to beat Radahn and Mohg, and you can go to Mohg’s palace quicker by doing Varré quest.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Fascinating stuff:



Can't wait, will be hard to beat Elden Ring as my GOTG, DLC is going to be epic.
