it's time for a new elden ring playthrough
I see caveman, I play caveman
finished one a while back. i'm gonna wait for tarnished edition and for them to patch in the new stuff from that on pc. maybe i should have more realistic expectations.
>>738515194I think this makes more sense OP
>>738515194I'm a prisoner :3
>>738515194>clear limgrave and caelid>beat stormveil>realise everything after godrick is shit>stop playingyep, elden ring
>>738515580I dumped like 3x as many hours into ER than any individual soulsbornekiro and none of it felt worth it or memorable compared to what came beforeOpen world was a mistake
>>738515580BEAR WITNESS
cons>open world slop>still no easy mode for normal people>25 weapon levels and no way to refund upgrade materials>the world is way too fucking big, it should end at the golden city>lock the dlc behind a boss only 40% of players have beatenpros>amazing cult classic game>beautiful scenery and vistas>mystery story and memorable characters>gameplay is better than ever with lots of new mechanics>tons of different magic and weaponsi enjoy playing the game but my interest always falls off at the grand lift
>>738515389Do you think it'll be just a free update or will it be a bullshit new release?
>>738515702>still no easy mode for normal peopleOh fuck offUse summons
>>738515623Same, so few of the areas are remotely worthwhile but you end up sinking an immense amount of time just hoofing it around to reach another copy/paste catacomb/mine/ruin for some unusable sword to go on the pile of 123489348 other worthless items you never use.
>>738515758they are all bullshit. We just know there is an unknown FMC project that is currently in development
>>738515758if it even happens, beats me.
>>738515781>activate coop cross>pop a coop consumable>cross remains dead
>>738515194reddit, 4chan and twitter are the same shit
>>7385157022/10 bait. good job mixing it up but too obvious
>>738515437Thanks that makes more sense, I didn't know what those negro symbols were supposed to mean
>>738515194The best way to play Souls games is to largely ignore HP and stamina and invest in stats to only to meet stat requirements for weapons and spells, and use a different equipment every time you enter a new area.>>738515580But Liurnia is the best part of Elden Ring>>738515702If ER wasn't open world, it would've just been a mediocre Souls game.
been meaning to try out the dlc, is it any good
>>738516186It's decent, but worse than the base game. The open world doesn't have the same content density. Two thirds of the map is basically empty and the loot is garbage. There is also only one major dungeon. The bosses are alright if you're into that kind of thing and the visuals look very pretty.
>>738515758It's paid, it'll probably be $5-10 based on the implied scale, but FromSoft has a tendency to underpromise and overdeliver.They're likely holding it back so they can put it down as a Q3 profit. Tarnished Edition has been running fine on Switch 2 for months at this point, we have the footage to prove it. Recall that First Step is one of the worst areas in the game in terms of performance, too.
>>738516186good. enemy damage is out of fucking control until you get a lot of the scadu fragments. final boss and boar boss are retarded. lot of cool new weapons but there's some stinkers too.
>>738515194>boomer xitterat least I'm not reddit I guess
>>738515850the co-op / invasion system in Elden Ring is just supremely fucking retarded. it's bad enough that it's an open world game, but the game only pings 5 summoning pools / invasion zones at a time, regardless of how many you have active.>sourcemultiple mod authors documented and fixed this. Elden Ring Reforged (which is shit) fixed it, for example.this is an issue in and of itself, but it's a bigger issue when 99.99% of Elden Ring players don't know this. even if they're using the option to toggle summoning pools on or off, a lot of players are likely sending their sign to dog shit summoning pools without realizing it. for example, sending their sign to 5 different Stormveil pools when they're level 100, meaning only NG+ players are seeing it.>how do you fix thisONLY activate the 5 most desired summoning pools you can realistically be summoned atfor invasion zones, you have to use Cheat Engine to manually disable invasion zones. these are activated by simply walking into any invasion zone in the game, of which there are multiple per legacy dungeon. realistically you should leave 20-40 good ones active and just spam the finger to ping 5 at a time. what you don't want is 20 good ones and 100+ dog shit ones so you're constantly pinging duds.
>invasion system only getting worse and worse since DaS1 Why is FromSoft like this
>>738515194Elden Ring has no "classes". Only Fortnite Ring does.
>>738516186For all that SotET pisses me off I'd still call it an essential addition.
>>738516747install seamless co-opi ditched vanilla invasions for it and haven't looked back
>>738516186it's good, yes. ToH had a higher consistent level of quality, but the sheer quantity of content in SotE is insane. it's bigger than the three DS2 DLCs put together in terms of every metric: bosses, enemies, weapons, etc.
When is the elden ring movie coming out, my wife and her boyfriend's mixed jewish african son can't wait to watch it
>>738515194i wish it was like ds2 or ds1 where the map hazards and enemies felt dangerous. elden ring has no challenging areas or mob encounters
>>738515194Never played it, never gonna.Suck it.
I started a new playthrough yesterday, in every Fromsoft game I play I tend to gravitate toward medium roll and 2-handed quicksword with some healing spells. I kinda want to do something else this playthrough. What's an original/fun weapon for DEX+INT buils?
>>738515194I started a faith build, do I go for STR or DEX?
>>738517257Paladin is boring go for cultist build.
>>738515194My pedantic approach to life forces me to play an Astrologer because he's the only one of the bunch with clean, tidy clothes.
>>738516186It is good. It is frustrating at first because you'll have to both adjust and get good with the new leveling system. The new areas are mostly good, and the new bosses are all mostly good too. It feels like more of the game, so if you want more content it'll give you that. Quite a lot of content for its price. It was about 3x longer and more content than I expected.
>tarnished edition coming this summer>the game lets you make a character that starts in the dlc
>>738515194>so ascended that my choice isn't even listed
Any mods that add Nightreign's assets into the base game?
>>738517257STR has the stronger weapon variety and a seal that scales with strength
>>738517257STR meshes with FTH more. thus you should go DEX and break the mold.
>>738515437
>>738518064Finally I get it
>try bow only "challenge" runit's the easiest way to play the game, basically magic without the need for FP
>>738518779but where do you get all the arrows?really hope fromsoft retires mana and ammo in the next game
>>738518779you could always swap to crossbows. they're fucking trash.
>>738515194can't play it without the convergence mod me, I hate grindy equipment drops
