Damnit where's that copypasta from the Horizon thread

 

[MistahS]

I defo lowballed. Congratulations to FROM.

 

[Flex1212]

Wow - wasn't planning on getting this as I suck at these games but these scores are eye opening at least.

 

[GING-SAMA]

INNOVATIVE / BOLD Game Design & World building is always the way to create genre defining games.

Gaming is really the most creative & best entertainment ever.

So glad that Bloodborne make me love soulsgames, Before we have both Japan & Western to make these groundbreaking games, now Japan lead the way !

 

[stat84]

So not only it is a great Souls game, it also nails the open world despite some peoples fears in here

 

[WordsintheWater]

Wow these reviews are great. Did not expect it to be this high. Hyped to jump into this after Horizon.

 

[tioslash]

Pre-loaded and ready to go! Can´t wait to play this.

 

[CubeApple76]

Holy scores... I might have to go for this one...

Has any reviews mentioned how this would be for a non-initiated souls fan?

 

[Merton]

I planned on playing this throughout the year, guess it'll be my only game this year :)

 

[Izanagi89]

So it's BotW for adults. Got it, thx

Been waiting for the inflammatory and spicy takes lol

 

[Mathieran]

Better than I thought it would be. I'll probably get it after Horizon.

 

[Wolf Parade]

Predicted 95 on the prediction thread... Feels like it might end up even higher... PRAISE!

 

[TechMetalRules]

Let's go! I only ever assumed this game would be the culmination of everything From does best.

 

[Vex]

I'm gonna risk it...we don't know if the day one patch solves any of these issues yet...and there's always tinkering.

Right? Right???

God I hope so. But as a back up, I have a ps5 soooooo i should be good. But I really wanna play on my pc :'c

His con was some fights are difficult.

holy fucking shit

 

[Raide]

Xbox brothers, buy this game please!!! Don't want to see a huge platform split gap between PS and Xbox. Show your love for Soul games on Xbox.

Preorder and download done for Series X. Doing my part!

 

[crazillo]

Okay, get me into that time capsula to Friday RIGHT NOW!

I expected a low 90s score, but this screams early GOTG contender. Wow!

 

[smocaine]

Mention of day 1 patch? Sounds like all (pre-release?) versions are somewhat unstable.

 

[Pliskin]

I'm screaming.

 

[NekoNeko]

Wow... yeah guess i am putting aside HFW for now lol.

HYPE

horizon getting overshadowed by a generational open world game is becoming a pattern lol.

IGN 10/10:

Elden Ring Review - IGN

Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path.

www.ign.com

RockPaperShotgun:

That's the thing about Elden Ring, its open world has your back, in its own - often painful - way. Souls has always been about inching through claustrophobic corridors and bashing your skull against whatever's in the way. You compare foreheads with friends, "Look at this bruise Barry, that's me five hours in". And Barry would probably peel his hair back and reveal the exact same bruise. Adventures in past Souls games tend to line up, as you're all wandering down the same pathways. But that's not the case with Elden Ring. You might show your bruise to Barry and he'll peel his hair back to reveal a scar or a massive indent or a tattoo of a mouse tustling with a skeleton. Both of may be five hours in but you'll be on totally different trajectories. No matter how hostile the game's world may be, it pushes you to succeed and carve out your own adventures. It is, by far, the most encouraging Souls yet.

Tried to tell y'all not to even bother until after Elden Ring.

Waiting to hear how the PS5 and XSX versions compare. I care about framerate more than anything here

😭😭😭 I cannot believe it! Thank you FromSoftware!

Was gonna hold off on this but seeing these scores. Pfew, day 1 it is.

Uhhh. So we don't know of the day 1 patch addresses this?

really hope i won't have to buy a console version, it's too expensive

now is back to 98 or the website is fucking up?

 

[Rocketz]

Letsss goooooooooo

 

[Glio]

I really hope Nintendo takes BOTW2 back into the shop and delays it until 2023. Elden Ring is going to revolutionize open-world action adventures going forward, and BOTW2 now looks like a corgi up against From's Goddamn Rottweiler.

Click to shrink...

We barely know anything about BOTW 2

 

[AuthenticM]

holy fuck

 

[Owlet]

So not only it is a great Souls game, it also nails the open world despite some peoples fears in here

I admit, I was wondering how well they'd do at an open world, but it seems like they've absolutely crushed it.

 

[Mr X]

God damn, have they managed to somehow raise the bar even further? Didn't think I could get more excited, glad I took some time off.

 

[TooBusyLookinGud]

The reviews are a lot less polarizing than I expected. A sure win for From. Might have to move it up in my to-buy list, though I'm pretty tired of the Souls formula right now.

Click to shrink...

I'm not reading reviews but a 97 is polarizing.

 

[Akusar]

Does any review talk about the last gen versions? Wish i could play this game on a PS5 with high fps :(

 

[sam777]

Here we go

 

[psynergyadept]

fuck man, I already have Horizon and Destiny on my plate!!! The hype is starting to get to to buy!!!

 

[trashbandit]

Didn't expect high 90s but glad to see it. Hopefully the PC version isn't the dumpster fire it impressions have made it seem.

Experiences will differ, but yeah, we hope for a fast fix. Jason still loves the game to bits even playing on pc.
