Elden Ring has gone gold!
- Thread starter gitrektali
- Start date
Honestly I can't believe that in october I scheduled days off to play Horizon and Elden Ring in february and both games held their dates. I feel blessed and lucky.
Probably, given how they switched off all the servers on PC for all of their games.
If this game is as exploration focused as it seems, I really hope it does.
Open world games are at their best when just walking around, having something catch your eye, and going there to discover what's there is a viable, fun gameplay option. That's what I'm really hoping for from Elden Ring's open world. IT seems like an obvious thing but I can't help but feel like a lot of modern open worlds are more focused on the technical achievements of the world, rather than how much fun it is to really explore.
I think we've been seeing a small return to that kind of world design over the past few years, since BOTW very much put an emphasis on that kind of exploration. But I hope Elden Ring's impact is even stronger (assuming that its good, of course).
Thanks. Yeah, I have MS Reward points to unload so I'd get it for free. But I play third party anything on Series X anyway. Hope it's good enough. It's From, so I have to cross my fingers.
I'm curious in what way it could be stronger of an influence than BOTW. That's a tall hill to climb.
It feels so bizarre to be happy to not see Motoi Sakuraba in this list.
yeeeah! can't wait. if i only buy one game this year it's gonna be Elden Ring. well, assuming BOTW2 gets pushed to 2023.
none of the other games come close. my year of gaming might peak 2 months in.

Only thing to do then is wait and see if there's an MS Rewards points promo for buying it. Unless I missed it already.
To be fair that's just critical reception.
A newer game in a series can be better than the previous ones but still review worse, sometimes due to reoccurring flaws that are less easy to forgive over time.
Let's hope From address some of their previous flaws here
I should have said that I hope it reinforces that trend even more.
eh...i'll probably get Horizon at some point but i'm gonna need to wait and see if they fix the issues the first game had. At least with Elden Ring i have some kind of idea what to expect.
I've got a newborn, so I need a game to fill those late nights of sitting on the couch with a baby sleeping on my chest. This is it.

He will learn to praise the sun, fear the old blood and... Whatever neat catch phrase Elden Ring has.
Well if BOTW2 really doesn't get delayed...then we'll have Elden Ring, BOTW2, God OF War, Horizon and Starfield.
Someone should really just turn off the internet for Game Awards.
Babby's first word wil be "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH"
Really wish this didn't get pushed back to February. This is too close to Horizon coming out...not sure which game to choose.
I cannot wait ! There has been no greater experience for me for last gen like being there day one for Bloodborne and Souls 3 . Figuring stuff along with the community was such a blast ! What does this do? What is that over there ?? WHAT DAFUQ IS THAT THING???
Wish this didn't release so close to GT7. It's gonna be a real test of my patience to see all the threads popping up.
Selfishly was hoping it be pushed back somehow so I'd have more time to try and get a PS5 but it comes out in a month and PS5s are basically impossible to get so PS4 Elden Ring here I come...woohoo...
This is going to consume a lot if my time. I have a feeling that From will out do themselves with this one.
