Poll Who is *NOT* going to be playing Elden Ring, hmm? (77 votes)

Me. Elden Ring, Shmeldon Shmring. 61%
Not me. MY BODY IS READY! 39%

And why not?

I won't be playing it. The addition of an open world can't fool me; this is still a Dark Souls game and they are way too tough for me. I play games to relax, not to endure endless trial-and-error.

Now if you like that, hey more power to you, not knocking it as a gameplay process. Just not my cup of tea.

Besides we got Warhammer Total War 3 coming out, plus my regular fix of DCS World and Satisfactory to play, not to mention newer games like Hitman 3 and Dying Light 2.

IMAGINE skipping this guaranteed masterpiece that absolutely everyone will be playing and talking about, while you'll be hyped for the next AssCreed entry or whatever other garbage that's coming out later this year. What is wrong with you?

Not me. I've never been into these action RPG games. I have tried with the genre via other games like the Witcher, Dark Souls etc. Even tho I can appreciate the quality and passion, they just arent for me so I will be sitting this one out.

Hold off. Got burnt by the port quality RE8, not pouring £49.99 into a fun game of Russian Roulette.

Gonna be playing the best version on PC. Ultrawide and 100+fps as well as probably really good mods like Dark Souls 3 had.

Nope, sick and tired of dark souls formula, I'd be more hype for a new fast pace hack n slash personally.

TC is right Warhammer 3 coming out soon, I've been playing alot of 2 to get ready for it, day 1 gamepass.

Also just started playing Lost Ark and it's awesome. Plus I've been playing new pokemon on switch, endless back log.. I'll treat elden ring like I treated Dark souls 3, pick it up for $10 a year later, get half way through untill I'm bored as shit and realize even though I love the art style, I hate the games.

Don't need to imagine, I'm skipping it.

Not hyped for AssCreed, not hyped for Elden Ring, not hyped for Bayonetta 3, not hyped for....anything, really, coming from AAA studios for the most part. Maybe Homeworld 3? But then again....Gearbox, so...eh.

But then again I'm a PC gaming elitist that buys a 10,000 dollar rig to play 10-dollar indie games, so what do I know, eh?

Dark Souls clones are niche? I thought they generally sold pretty well.

Me. I tried finishing the first Dark Souls twice but lost interest both times and gave up. Haven't bothered with the rest of the series. Elden Ring looks like more of the same but open world which in my eyes makes it more unappealing rather than exciting.

Lol. Why do you bother creating a thread that looks like you're asking for approval about not playing Elden Ring? Do you feel insecure about not playing it?

I think this is very similar to the midset of incel who feels insecure with himself, asking "Who is * NOT * going out with a girl, hmm?" to seek the approval of other incels.

Yeah I'm not bothered really, played the network test and it didn't do anything for me. The souls formula got stale and an open world doesn't seem like it would anything to it.

I'll be playing it. Not day one, day one doesn't happen for me with any games anymore. Pre-ordering videogames is a terrible idea which people love to get involved in to display just how stupid they are to everyone.

We have some insane people on SW. Not getting Elden Ring is like someone were to offer you 10k dollars, and you said no thanks.

I know most games its a matter of opinion and taste in a certain genre, so my analogy wouldn't be very fitting, but THIS IS ELDEN RING MOTHER******! You don't refuse to embrace the masterpiece.

Not playing ER is like saying you're not going to listen to the new Mozart album because DJ Khaled is going to drop his new single. Exactly the same thing. Shame on you!

Sorry I got better stuff to play.

I guess a more apt analogy would be like I'm not choosing to listen to Mozart because I have a new Bach or Brahms or Beethoven album to listen to.

I guess maybe Mozart* just isn't for me; doesn't mean I have bad tastes.

*Mozart is great though, for real, just using it for the analogy 😜

LOL sorry, who is insane now? You're saying turning down Elden Ring is like turning down fortune [in game experience]?

Damn.

I wouldn't call Japanese games "garbage" but, yeah...I have yet to really find one I like.

I keep trying against my better judgement because I know they give people a lot of joy, but honestly I think I'm at the point where I stop trying because if I don't like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, DMC, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Vanquish, Death Stranding, or Metal Gear Solid I don't think I'm going to like anything a Japanese developer can throw at me.

Ooof, reading into this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

I just think there's a lot of hype around it and I thought it'd be fun to talk about it in a different context lol.

lol incels. Way off the ranch on that one, bud.

@Maroxad said:

I have no doubt it will be a good, fun game appreciated by many, but in my view it just seems really lazy. It's the same game as Dark Souls by all accounts, but apparently it is open world.

OK?

And? Anything else?

Will reserve judgement until the game is out, of course.

Damn.

When Lord Miyasaki offers to us all his greatness, you don't just ignore his magnum opus. You give him your hard earned money and understand that you're privileged to being able to install his art into your system. We're not talking about yet another good game here. No no no. Its art, and its made by the best in the business.

Pretty sure I will play it. But I will, as always, let others play it first and tell me if it's good or not, then make my own decision before splurging.

Slightly worried that the game's dungeons aren't great. Making Dark Souls open world will probably make other aspects of the game worse, so I expect many dungeons to be small and uninteresting.

If you'll be doing multiplayer, the ps5 version. If its mainly the singleplayer, the x version.

Tell me it’s not a role playing game made in Japan. I double frikking dare you.

You have awful, awful taste in gaming….which means anything you enjoy won’t be touched by me with a 10 foot barge pole. Heck, even I would get HZD and Gow over bf2042….not you though.

@mrbojangles25: Nah bro this is like if Bach, Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart had a baby.

Now, for reals, I honestly don't care. But it is a shame, From Soft makes incredible games. There's some great games that I don't care for too, they're just not for me. And some times is timing. A great friend of mine just recently gave their games another chance and it's completely obsessed about them now. I think he even likes them more than myself.

Is comparing a $70 indie title to a Mega Title from Fromsoft make you feel better or something? Including the likes of Starfield, nothing from Microsoft will touch the quality of Elden Ring.
