@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.
@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.
@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.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@TheBrandedSwordsman watched it finally. I think it looks excellent! The open world aspect is a massive alteration to the formula, and after seeing it in action, I can’t hardly wait to explore The Lands Between. February can’t come soon enough.

@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.
