Elden Ring, the next big Hype game that System Wars seems to can't stop hyping about! 10/10 GS!!!

Me and Fromsoft we trust each other. It won't get anything under a 9/10.

I’m calling a 9/10 and 90 MC

Getting it for series X baby.

@hardwenzen: But, there is footage - a bunch of enemies in horseback. In a desert.

What I haven't seen is 10 enemies in a jungle.

Have you played the game? Have you watched hours worth of mid-late game content? No. Don't assume its not there because you haven't seen it in a game that you didn't play nor spent a bunch of time paying attention to on a stream or youtube playthroughs. Funny, at first it was 3, which you've repeated for a few months, and now its 10 lol.

@hardwenzen: this is the moment of truth for you. this will make or break you.

The confidence couldn't be higher.

will you be able to get any sleep tonight?

Of course, because the game will not fail. Its tomorrow that i might not be able to sleep if bestbuy hasn't shipped my copy yet.

will you protest best buy if they don't?

No, but i will send them a latter letting them know my feelings. But if i seriously ain't getting the game on day one, this will teach me to never buy a game online if i want it day one. I usually just visit my local walmart and get it early in the morning, but i just can't do it now😭😭😭

@hardwenzen: well if it makes you feel better, I read Walmart will be selling it for $50 in store

That's in the US, and nobody cares about the xbox version. Most of the community will be on a Playstation.

@hardwenzen: lol, the tag says ps4, but point taken. You're Canadian?

Not Canadian, but live in Canada, yea. I did just check the Canadian walmart, and its the full $79.99cad price. They never do these $10 offs in Canada.

@hardwenzen: I would ask Trudeau to hook you up

I won't be able to play this game until Saturday morning so no midnight play for me😢

@davillain: I went with Amazon on this one and I have no faith in them delivering this to me on launch day 😄 Gamestop surprisingly got me Forbidden West on launch day at 9am!!

This is why I love digital gaming as I preorder it on Steam and already begin predownloading but sadly, I won't be home in time to play it during my out of town business trip. So Saturday morning it is. But yeah, Amazon is always late to the party. No express mailing for you?

watched asmondgold stream this game, looks like dark souls but now you ride horse, you could cheese some bosses pretty good by riding horse

@davillain: Digital wins again and it also installs faster than physical. It would have been great if these companies would have updated physical medium.

@hardwenzen: launch edition here 45e on few retailers, that's almost half the price of new digital Sony release

The horse boss battle I saw looked remarkably boring for that reason.

Run in, poke dragon, run away. Repeat.

So i am wondering why? Is it something that happens often? I don't see this in Canada.

Yup, zero balance went into the horse combat. You can also backstab an enemy, reset by hiding in bushes, come back and backstab it some more. In Sekiro, you couldn't do this after the first backstab, so i hope the day one patch patches this.

It's Mardi Gras here in New Orleans. Won't be able to play until next weekend sadly.

Nah. Main reason I got it from Amazon is because I got a great discount on it. I got it $45! I still prefer physical for launch these days do to resellability. I have Horizon to keep me occupied so no big deal! If I was that desperate to play Day 1 I could buy a second copy from a local store and return it once the Amazon one comes 😆

happens quite often here, biggest stores competing and price matching. PS5 digital edition is more or less dead here, the little stock that comes available every now and then actually stays on sale for hours

Considering Elden Ring is also on the PS4 and Xbox One, is the PCs minimum CPU requirements bollocks?

This is it guys, 50 more minutes!!

This made me laugh more than it should😅

Didn't know that was a thing for Elden Ring and I agree, lets hope the day one patch address this.

While we wait for reviews popping up, guess I'll ask this question in the meantime. What's everyone's first build gonna be for you all?

• Strength
• Dex
• Int
• Faith
• Arcane
• Quality

For me, it's one of the caster types, either INT or Faith, but its really hard for me to decide which to go with first. Or Hybrid, and that's because magic looks to dope to pass up so I have to see what I’m working with.

@davillain: I'll either do a strength or quality build with some mind for spirt summons.

@davillain: i dont watch any elden ring gameplay even the trailer yet to avoid any spoilers as i want to really play the game without knowing anything but for previous souls game, something like a tank or caster type on first play through as its newbie friendly. Then dex type after for fun.

Going by the stress test, faith spells were OP. A melee faith build with a couple of offensive spells is probably gonna be the most broken builds available.

Have you? No? Then why are you making the assumption?

In the last round of in game footage, there was one video where she chased some guys on horseback, and there were more than three. But, again, not in the scenery that you keep posting. I have not seen 10+ enemies on the screen at once in a jungle setting.

You keep trying to say that I am changing my stance, and I am not. Go find some video of Aloy fighting a dozen enemies in the same environments where there are none (the ones you keep posting). I haven't ever seen any. You conveniently stop responding when I challenge you on this.

Wow, big congrats to From Software!! 97 MC!! Now I want to play this Day 1 lol.

god damn, apparently the hype was justified

95 PC, 95 XSX, 97 PS5 looks like this is a winner .. I was going to hold off for a price drop, but now I might buy it right away

There hasnt even been a mix review so far. Color me impress. Hype!!

Series X performance mode is... not good. From needs to address that one. The PS5 is like 10-15 FPS higher... That should not be happening

Well, I am happy to say I was wrong. Looks like Elden Ring is a massive hit - 10/10 on multiple respectable sites.

Don't worry " teh tools are coming"

A GOAT always follows a Horizon. lol

I'm still playing through Horizon but, I'll need to check this out once I'm done with it.

Going to be hard to beat this for Goty.

from software is owned by sony, 15% stake if im not mistaken. Don't worry, when the COD games come out, there will be retaliation for these kinds of dirty tricks sony pulls.

Easy GOTY, prophecy fulfilled.

More like 2% lol.

tl;dr 10/10
