Well? ARE YOU?
No I don’t own it. It’s a key card game. It’s the same with KH 1-3 collection
>>745985526On PC.
>>745986174Have some faith in Nintendo.
>>745985526Obligatory
I’ve completed this several times by now. I might tho
no, i already tried the PC version on my deck and didn't like it.
>>745985526Yeah. Digitally.
I don't have a switch and I've already played it multiple times
>>745986228What the fuck. Nintendo a is corporation lmao
>>745985526Game key card..No thanks Anon im fine with my physical ps5 copy. Kek.
>snake oil scam warning on the front coverKek
>>745985526>50 GB>still release it as a key cardWhy is Bamco like this?
>>745985526No, for a few reasons. 75GB download, game-key card, and will probably run a shaky 35-45 fps the whole time. I'd be cool with a locked 30 fps, but we all know that's not going to happen. That and I already own it on PS4/PS5. I loaned that copy out and never bothered asking for it back.
>>745986328>>745986291You have not played the tarnished edition. Why are you niggers always so retarded.
must.. resistmust keep... playing TOTK
>>745985526Why would I buy a significantly worse version of something I already own?
>>745985526Own an empty display case to complete my gameroom theme of a retail shop!
>>745987160I won't lie, I'm unironically hooked on TotK right now. I skipped it on Switch 1 because it ran like ass. On Switch 2 it's great.
Pre-ordered digitally as well as physical (to keep sealed).
>>745985526I don't have a console for children
>>745988036I console people with children. You're just heartless.
>>745986978oh no how will I live without horse armor
>>745987979I spent over 200 hours on the Switch 1 version so by the time I got the S2 upgrade, there wasn’t much left to do.
>>745988081Its 5 dollars and you get a ton of stuff. Retard.
>>745987979Stop lying anon it did not run like ass on Switch 1. It had super blurry grafics on it until the day 1 patch. It always ran like BOTW on Switch 1.I have played both of them many times now.
niggas complaining about key cart and then buy it on steam to get even less physicality
>>745985526fuck noi've clocked north of 800 hours on pc already
>>745985526>Already have it on PC>Don't care for portability that much>30fpsI'm afraid not.
>>745985526>KeycardI won't.>>745986174>>745986228That's not Nintendo's call, it's publisher's. And Bamco and SE are turbo jews
>>745985526>cuck cardno
>>745985526>goy cardlol
>>745986935>75GB download>75 gigsThere's no reason for a videogame to be this big. There should be a hard cap at 50gb and only meant for AAA level games>>745986698Square has done worse IIRC they used a keycard for a game under 5 gb
>>745985526I know for a FACT that I'm not the only one who thought that said ELDEN RING: TRASHED EDITION
>>745988692I can get ten times as much extra stuff for free with mods, retard
>>745985526yes invading nintendies should be fun times
The two new starting classes.
>>745986228>Have some faith in the company with the worst track record of shutting down servers in record timelol
>>745991714>Have some faith in the company with the worst track record of shutting down servers in record timeYou mean Bamco? I thought that was EA
>>745991643Please dont invade me :(
>>745991643>Idus Knight>weapon type that's otherwise unavailable for 40+ hours>Heavy Knight>Weapon you can upgrade from in 5 minutes, focus on armor, which Elden Ring hates, and you can farm something comparable in 20 minutes anyways>You know you are fat rolling at creation anywaysWhat were they THINKING
>>745992603Can you explain for non ER players?Is the Idus Knight weapon good?
>>745988692it's a few armor sets and horse skinstruly game changing stuff
>>745985526They better fucking add armor dyes. Sick and tired of finding cool combos and the colors just don't fucking match.
>>745989476You actually own it on steam, since you're allowed to actually modify the files. Consoles don't give you that. You get DRM-laden plastic.
>>745988692PC has total conversion mods which give you entire new campaigns and you're over there talking about fucking cosmetics that will be modded into the PC version?
>>745992869The weapon type it was a part of was previously DLC exclusive, meaning ass end of the game, behind some beefy bosses. It's fantastic for pvp, and good for pve. High skill floor though, so it's a weapon newer players are going to struggle to get the most out of. Tailor built to assrape new players in invasions though. But, by that weapon alone, it's probably the best starting class in the game, and since this is an advantage that would take 40+ hours to match, it's pretty hard to dismiss. UNLESS that class' weapon has been put somewhere accessible. Which is possible, we know it isn't exactly Milady, but a new weapon with the same moveset.
>>745986935>>745991363It's 41GB on Switch
>>745992905HahaYou know that isn't happening, you silly goose.
>>745993048>Elden Ring has total conversion modsWait, really?
>>745993189What makes it so hard to use? Is it like a rapier or something?
>>745986935I can almost guarantee it drops to sub 30 when you step into the DLC. That's already a problem on consoles, because of the bone-headed decicion to render all of the furnace golems, constantly, from however far away. That combined with all the vertal layers being loaded that usually aren't, and all thw ghostly object effects. The Switch 2 is already going to be struggling, and the DLC is going to bring it straight back to OoT on the N64.
>>745993267Still big but more decently. >40gbI mean, this size should be high for AAA as standard not when releasing ports with any sort of concession.
>>745991378Out of curiosity, are you an ESL?
>>745993360Yeah, IIRC Convergence and Reforged are 2 of them.
>>745993435there's parts of the dlc that even run like shit on PCmost notably the bridge with the golem in Rauh Ruins. I bet that place is gonna crash the game on switch a lot
>>745985526>game-key cardlmao.
>>745993526I know what I'm doing for the next week. Thanks anon.
>>745985526>no amiibo supporthuge missed opportunity
>>745985526>game-key cardIf you buy this, you are cattle
>>745993409The moveset has significantly more options in terms of mixing up your inputs and sequences. Lots of movement that you need to plan around, lots of different parts of swings that can be put to work. Think, it's a Tekken character amid the Smash character roster that makes up the rest weapons.And that makes it exceptionally good for pvp, since a weapon that has mixups, range, movement, and speed just dumpsters everything else that isn't relying on very strong single moves, that themselves aren't really available early game. It's also pretty independent of talismans to function, so doesn't really NEED anything to work.
>>745985526>game key cardlollmaono
>>74599346141GB for an open world at Elden Ring's scale (remember that the DLC is included) isn't unreasonable at all, really. FromSoft is on the better end in terms of asset optimisation - the Duskbloods Network Test file size only clocks in at 3.8GB
>>745985526Buy an ad.
>>745985526>GKCno, maybe when is $40
>>745986228lmao
>>745986228Nintendo has done nothing to deserve it.
>>745991714You can still download your Wii, DS and 3DS games, you just can't buy new ones.
>>745986174Reminder that theres literally nothing wrong with game key cards
>>745993758>FromSoft is on the better end in terms of asset optimisation - the Duskbloods Network Test file size only clocks in at 3.8GBNow THAT's is a good size
>>745994047And Nintendo has said they will shut that down.
>>745994086Except consoles are cuckbox drm prisons you don't own and are completely at the mercy of their real owner, unlike pc.
>>745985526>Well? ARE YOU?No, it's literally free on PC / Steam Deck, why should I buy a fucking GKC on my Switch? I only buy exclusives and first party titles.
>>745993360>>745993585This is what we need to bring back dueling. There are complete retards like you out there who don't know anything at all yet you feel comfortable to insult anyone in anyway, shape or form. You're a drooling retard but you waste the time of everyone and hurt the sensibilities of normal people. Then you just go on your way after being a nuisance and being spoonfed obvious shit. Grab a rope and kill yourself.
>>745994107They never said when and it's been 7 years since Wii channel shut down.
>>745994047the problem is that they're trapped eternally on those consoles, and since Nintendo stopped selling them, they're on a ticking timer. No forwards compatibility.Meanwhile steam games bought in 2011 still work in 2026, regardless of how many times you've upgraded your PC.
>>745994250wtf I didn't insult anyone.
>>745994086CDROM keys were required for activation, but the data was on the disc, and accessible on your computer once the game was installed. You can look directly at the game data for literally any Steam game in your library, organized exactly as developers choose to organize it. Hence why PC games have such a vibrant modding scene.
Elden mid...worst From game ever...
>>745994086I don't have to put my cd key back into my computer every time I want to play or download the game though.I can create localized backups of my game to do as I please with it. Replace my own files without needing the key, play on multiple devices, concurrently if I really wanted.
>>745994086The duality of consumer.
>>745994250Ranjesh, your ai model needs to be adjusted.
>>745994253>the problem is that they're trapped eternally on those consolesNothing on those systems has been "trapped" on those consoles for a very long time.I'm all for preservation but don't pretend like Nintendo is an outlier compared to any other console manufacturer nor try to maintain the delusion that any of them are going to be a better custodian than the individual doing it themselves. It's not like games on PC haven't also ended up being irrevocably altered by the publisher before and required user intervention to fix.
>>745994170>muh drm scapegoatYou do realize Steam comes with drm, right?
>>745994383As a certified tendie and PC owner, you are wrong. I can sell my GKC or lend it to a friend, it's superior to one time activation DL keys, but they still suck, because one day Nintendo will shutdown the DL servers.And if you are a DRM cuck (Steam, Epic, Battlenet etc) don't talk to me, unless you are a GOG, itch or pirate chad.
>>745994584>I can sell my GKC or lend it to a friend, it's superior to one time activation DL keysThey are the same thing conceptually; licenses.>because one day Nintendo will shutdown the DL serversDo we have confirmation about keycard carts? I assume they have the same feature as 3DS and Switch carts so it'll be really funny in a couple years since they have no game>unless you are a GOG or pirate chad.Basado
>>745994512>I'm all for preservation but don't pretend like Nintendo is an outlier compared to any other console manufacturerI'm not pretending that. Sony fucked me over in the exact same way, by essentially taking away my Ps3 PSN purchases unless I go back to my Ps3. Even though the PS4 should be capable of transferring all purchases. Not to mention there's zero reason why they can't emulate all of my old games.>It's not like games on PC haven't also ended up being irrevocably altered by the publisher before and required user intervention to fix.The fact that the user is even allowed to intervene and fix it speaks volumes about how much freedom PC offers.

>been playing reforged>basically maxed out strength and now most bosses break stance in 3-5 heavy attacks>leveling fp to properly use the blaidd summon>already wanting to do an arcane runI tried and gave up on the mod before but now it's been pretty smooth sailing. Even the godskin noble in the Liurnia tower wasn't that difficult despite the troll placement. Is full grug really the way to go in souls games?
>>745994847a discord server was spamming it when it first released
>>745994349>>745994847Ritual posters should be castrated
>>745994887i dunno about that mod but powerstanced grug jump L1 spam is objectively the strongest build in the game (for pve obviously)
>>745995021No, it isn't, it was nerfed shortly after launch
>>745985526I'm gonna invade all the fags who did buy it.
>>745995089it's still utterly busted as long as you are powerstancing large weapons of the same class or colossals
>>745995135I suppose if you're doing a mod to give yourself infinite stamina, and don't care about low DPS and constantly getting punished
>>745985526What? No.
>>745994516Easily avoided or broken. It's not even remotely like baked in console drm.
>>745994086>open platform you have immense control over>locked down platform you have zero control overGee, I wonder what the difference is.
>>745995184What? Yes!
>>745994887>Is full grug really the way to go in souls games?Depends on the game, but definitely for Elden Ring. Elden Ring, you don't have the time or space to do your fancy build or whatever the fuck. However, if you just walk in, charge some R2s or do some guard counters, maybe let a good Ash rip, generally you just stunlock bosses to death, preventing THEM from doing their thing. But, it varies for the other games. I know DS3, just being the world's least interesting wizard with Chaos Bed Vestiges and Dark Fireball is the way to go. Or maybe go grug with a scythe. The DS3 scythe moveset is fucked up. Also as an aside, if you like ER Reforged, try DS3 Cinders some time. They definitely share some conceptual DNA, but Cinders is just THE best way to play DS3, it's hard to go back to vanilla.
>>745994086you wanna know what's the difference, I can fucking mod a PC game to my heart's content, and I have more than FUCKING 512MB to save my games.I love Nintendo consoles but nintendo dicksuckers are the worst.
>>745985526I played it to death like 5 years ago
>>745985526As a pc player I dont see the point in buying the upgrade. The horse armor is a meme and I dont really care for the other 2 starting classes. If they added a new area or if it was like a major DLC like shadows of the erdtree I would've bought it
>>745985526Wont it run worse on switch?
>>745995912Starting classes particularly for Elden ring are a complete and total meme, this is probably the case for the dark souls games but I've started and completed more playthroughs of ER than any dark souls, and ER hilariously the starting classes only change like the first 30 minutes of your playthrough. So hinging some "guys! This is why you need to buy the switch 2 edition" is such a fucking joke
>>745993409It's a very zesty sword that loves to chain attacks together but has a slow initial swing and not a lot of hitstun.If you habitually button mash against hard enemies you'll get your ass kicked trying to use it. But if you know your spacing and timing it's very fun and stylish.
>>745996052Depending on where their version of the weapon ends up, the Idus Knight may change that. Milady is only available after Mohg, which, unless you're a bad enough dude to save thw president, means you're not seeing it until hour 40, with half the game done already, and you stupidly overlevelled for it. Unless that shit is sitting in Kale's inventory, the Idus Knight represents probably the single largest time advantage over the other classes to get something in particular in Souls history, coming in second behind the DS3 Pyromancer.
>>745994887Charged R2 builds are the meta for hitless runs.
>>745996323I haven't played reforged in a LOOOOONG time, does the sekiro parry still feel like buggy shit?
How's the performance?
>>745995184>>745995369goylimpics
>>74599652360 targeted30-45 most of the timeSo about the same as Steam Deck performance
>>745996523I'm curious about this as well, I know it got delayed because it had issues but who knows how playable it is now.
>>745996523They say locked 30fps(with dips)
>>745985526No, i already own it on steam
>>745996523>>745996651It's an unstable 30.
The switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077 made up about 10% of Cyberpunk's sales in 2025. This will be the same deal. This port exists solely for a group of fringe weirdos who really really reaaaaally want to tell people "see!? Switch 2 has serious grownup games! We play more than toddlerware!"
>>745985526I never got to finish Elden Ring because the EAC kept triggering a false positive on my Windows computer. I stopped during the fire giant fight because it was guaranteed to happen when he entered phase 2. I might get it since it also comes with the DLC, but I'm not actually sure how the game runs on Switch 2.>>745986174Yeah that too. At least it's understandable when the game + DLC is like 85GB and the cartridges only go up to 64, unlike the majority of S-E's releases which are all exclusively GKC on Switch 2.
>2x new classesShould have made it 5x new classes.Artificier, weapon master, perfumer could have been the other 3.
>>745998812>phase 2 fire giantHow weird, I recently carried my buddy through a co op run and this exact part was where things got really fucking weird for us.Sometimes it would load the cutscene and then I'd wake up dead.Sometimes my buddy would die and normally the co op partner could keep fighting but he'd reset.Sometimes we'd both die and we'd both respawn at the grace where the boss was still at the health he had last time. But then he'd spaz out and wed both die instantly.
Is Promised Consort Radahn the hardest From boss EVER?
>>745997231EeeehThere's a small subset of dadgamers that make up that number as well.Not enough dosh to blow on multiple consoles, so has to make do with whatever trickles onto the Switch for his half hour to play on Friday and Saturday nights after the kids go to bed.
>>745985526I already played this years ago, and wasn't that impressed even back then. My tolerance for this type of game also diminished significantly since.
>>745985526no physical, no buy, sorry
>>746000059Not after nightreign
>>746000059Hardest?No. He was a bastard to do hitless on release, but he's not the hardest to just beat by a long shot. You forget, this is Elden Ring. You have so many ways to shit on Radahn that it's silly. You can just Rot him then hold shield for like 4 minutes. You can summon any of the like 4 spirits that shit on him. You can just guard counter him until he cries. Parry him to death. And then if you're just committing to rollslop, he's moderately difficult, with a few attacks that will probably clip you reliably, that you have more than enough resources to power through. Orphan of Kos is harder than him. I don't even think Kos is the hardest in the series either, but Kos is an easy benchmark for difficult but you have to do some ABSURD self imposed limitations to get Radahn close to what Kos just is by default.
>>746000059The hardest Fromsoft boss is probably in one of the early Armored Cores or Shadow Tower.For the Souls games Consort Radahn is up there but Fume Knight and the Orphan might be above him.
>>746000615>Fume Knight and the Orphan might be above himnot even close
>>745985526I just can't justify spending $80 on something I already have 3000 hours inI'll get the Tarnished stuff but that's it
>>745985526More interested in Lies of P whenever I'm in the mood for a new (old) game. And that one has a true physical, I believe.
>>745993656>$150 now
>>746000615fume knight is a complete pushoverds2 doesn't have any particularly hard bosses really
>>745997037But enough about Bloodborne!
>>745985526Already have my pre-order. The first thing I plan on doing is grabbing my Regalia and drilling my way to the heavens.
>>745985526No, I already have it on PS4 and PC.Does this have new content or anything?
>>746002459just literal horse armor dlc and a few new starting classes (including new armor sets)which that part will be on steam for 5 bucks so it's not like it's even exclusive to switch
>>745985526HellFucking No
>>746002264Watcher and Defender are pretty fucking hard if you're playing solo, same with lmao2katNot PCR tough but tougher than most fights in the series.
>>746002581yeah those are the only 2 that stick out to me. That duo fight is very tedious and the dlc cats are just bullshit. Most of the difficulty in ds2 comes from traversing through the annoying as shit areas, not the bosses
>>746002392Yes, that was also an unstable 30.
>>745995837>BUT I CAN MOD THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE AND CJ INTO MY GAME SO IT'S BETTER
>>745985526Related note. Have people modded in the Nightreign characters yet? Not jist shitty skins, i want to fuck around with their weapons and skills too
>>746002749Yeah.
>>746002749Correct, choice is always better
>>745985526No, I love Fromsoft but I don't buy Nintendo consoles or games, since the Gamecube. No, actually I bought a second hand DS for Jump Ultra Stars and Ace Attorney. That was it for me though. I mostly play games on my PC now in between school and work.
>>745985526why would ii already have it
>>745985526>key card>30 fpsno way fag
Does Elden Ring on PC still have hackers and cheaters? cause the one and only advantage to playing on consoles is less of that shit
>>746002261I thought all the data was pirated now and you can swipe an ebay dongle over your system with everything included?Or are you a fag who craves plastic?
>>746000615Orphan absolutely is.Fume Knight, is very hard for DS2, but nothing in DS1 or 2 is anywhere near the hardest in the series.
>>746002539Fuck that shit and fuck op too
>>746002581You know what, fairI have never actually done Zallen and Lud solo, making them the only boss in Souls I have not done "fairly". So fuck it, they might actually be the hardest in the series, especially since you probably need to hard swap weapons at least once, likely more, which also means at least 4 weapons prepared. But, their extenuating circumstances aside, I'd probably say Orphan of Kos is the hardest.Unless chalice dungeon bosses are on the table, in which case Defiled Amygdala sweeps this shit so hard it isn't funny.
>>745985526No, I've come to accept that I suck at Soul's games I've given it a try and I'm just flat out No good
>>745985526Im temped because i want to support fromsoft on the switch, and playing on the go does sound amazing, but ive also beaten it like multiple times on pc and im not sure i want to double dip... ill definitely be getting duskbloods though
>>745993758Because that game has like 30 enemies and bosses. ER has 250 enemy types and 166 bosses.
>>746005872I'd say that out of 100 online sessions, I've encountered a hacker 5 times.
>>745985526Can someone explain to me how this is exciting news? You could've bought Xbox Series S ages ago for peanuts, and played these games on release like 5 years ago at the same settings that you will now get on Switch 2.
>>746006802>not wanting a cool dark souls figurineYou sound like a fake fan.
>>745988867Bitch
>>745986228
>>745992972>since you're allowed to actually modify the filesNo, you get a license for it. And some games state not to modify or reverse engineer their games when you agree to the terms.
>>745985526>Game key cardEh. I don't really have a problem with the approach as much as the fact that it still requires me to download the damn game. Like sure it's still a fine enough way to have a physical thing but goddammit I'm low on storage space and Switch 2 games are fucking PC sized now.
>>745992035DS1, DS2, DS3 servers are still up. Even vanilla DS2, not just SOTFS.
>>746010360ThisDS2 even still maintains the bad kid server for hackers and shit.
No
>>746010620Yes
>>745985526I'll buy Oblivion on Switch 2, but not Elden Ring on Switch 2, because I don't want to take up storage space for a big game that I won't always have time to be sitting down to play.If I am going to buy a Game-Key Card game, I want it to be something I will play very often.Also, every month, I can only buy one or two games, and I need to choose what game I buy wisely, because I am tight on money.For November, it will be GTA VI and the Ocarina of Time remake.For September, I might buy a plushie and maybe a third-party on-cart Switch 2 game.
>>745986228THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NINTENDO LEAVE NINTENDO ALONE
>>746011016No
I would buy this in a heartbeat if they actually fixed Radahn dlc swords, make it one sword with dual ashes of war like Sword of night and flame, and make it benefit from Rellana talisman, I would gladly pay ten dollars just to have that shitty weapon fixed.
>>745985526Funny enough, I ordered a copy for my friend
>>746011728Are you having sex with your friend?
>>746012920Yeah. She often cooks for us
