@colonelkilgore I have no idea, we don't have the game or any details yet. The review embargo will almost certainly lift a few days before release, though.
@LiamCroft well hopefully the code will turn up sooner rather than later… rushing a playthrough of any game to ensure a complete review has to negatively effect the experience. On a an open-world souls-like, I’d imagine it’d be a damn sight worse.
The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.
@LiamCroft
Ha I hope you don’t get to rush for deadline and can just enjoy the game in all it’s scope. An in progress review would do just fine.
👍🏻

It looks like a lot of hands on first hours with Elden Ring are coming up now from many sources.

@Voltan A multitude of personal issues with it. Obviously technical stuff like the frame drops which genuinely got me killed a couple times but I did expect that to be ironed out before release. Jank galore especially with the horse but that’s par for the course with FromSoft. Otherwise, quite a few misgivings about the direction of the game such as the lifeless and sorta dull overworld, the smaller dungeons being uninspired and not at all like what was hyped up by the devs, the gameplay feeling just a bit too much like Dark Souls 3 instead of being distinct like how Bloodborne was etc. Obviously subjective stuff but the network test left me with a worse impression than if I hadn’t played it and just waited for release.
@velio84 Yeah usually go for a dex build so I can use a decent bow.
Cheers for sharing the classes video, I may give that a watch later.
Not long to go now. I had to change the delivery to my work address, so hopefully they don't fudge it up. Got the following week off so I can get balls deep into the game.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Yes I dont trust VG247 since the time they posted an uncharted 4 demo preview that was actually uncharted 2 remaster. (Uncharted 4 is formulaic)
Still all previews are very very positive which is not surprising but they go beyond in hyping the game to rarely seen level.
It seems it’s about as great as I thought it would be with from soft shining in open world design because they always reward exploration. Probably a new bar for open world design even if they are all annoyingly referring to Breath of the Wild.
I personally liked Easy Allies preview which doesn’t spoil too much but gives interesting tidbits.

@JJ2 fair enough. Yeah I watched Isla and Brad’s take on Easy Allies… Isla was great but Brad looked like he hardly knew what the game was at some points (which was strange considering what a huge From Soft fan he is).
@colonelkilgore I watched that too. The guy clearly didn't have access to that final preview and was just trying to make as much sense of it as he could, based on his experience with the network test, while trying to stay somewhat active in the conversation
