I have the countdown playing in the background and the music is pretty good

@Th3solution Did you watch the trailer dude? What are your thoughts?

@colonelkilgore What were your thoughts on the preview?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I wish it looked less like yet another Souls game. I love the idea of the open world and the dungeons and stuff, I just hoped for a bit more improvement on the combat side of things. Would have been nice to see a leap forward on the animation side of things instead of the same stilted Dark Souls animations.

@nessisonett Fair point, I felt similarly, to an extent.

@Jimmer-jammer Cool, let me know what you think! @nessisonett Don't you think that it's expecting a bit much of consumers to ask them to play what is essentially the same game another time? I don't think I'll be playing it as I don't want to play what largely appears to be DS3 with a few add-ons again.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Honestly, a lot of Souls fans really do just want the same general structure over and over again. I get it, those games are great, but part of me was hoping for more of a new start with Elden Ring. Especially since Demon’s Souls delivered that ‘classic’ Souls gameplay just last year.

Not sure what these complaints are about it being the same game or too similar 🤔

How is it largely DS3 with a few add ons?

Is Gran Turismo 7 largely GT6 with a few add ons? Resident evil 2 is Resident Evil 1 with a few add ons? Sonic 2 is Sonic 1 with a few add ons?

Its a genre of games, of course there will be loads of similarities.

It going open world is a huge change. Saying it’s like Dark Souls 3 is like saying BOTW is too similar to Skyward Sword.

@TheBrandedSwordsman looks great bud, much like what I’m expecting but as a fan of From Soft games, that’s no bad thing as far as I’m concerned.

Something I imagine people will pile on about (together with the fact that it is still very ‘From) is that it clearly looks quite last gen… and it’s only fitting really as it was being developed for PS4 and xbone.

@colonelkilgore Just ordered it. 😁 Never got one of these before.

@kyleforrester87 Yeah I don't get it either. It looks to be different enough from the previous games to me whilst still retaining some of that same Souls formula. There are plenty of other Souls-like games out there if people think it aren’t enough wide spread changes.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I watched the original trailer and then some of the gameplay video. It does look good. And although it has a fresh new excitement to it, I’m not sure I’ll jump in at day 1. We’ll have to see what the reviews and community response is, but I’ll still prioritize Dark Souls 3 or Demon’s Souls first before trying this. But I don’t know, I might be sold on it when the hype ramps up! It’s possible that it ends up being a better entry point for the Souls novices like me.

Has anyone commented on how bad the preorder bonus is? I guess the gesture will make the plat easier?
