Topic: Elden Ring Hype Thread

Apparently my copy will be with me tomorrow sometime between 11:00am and 3:00pm. With the way the two deliveries have panned out, I’m kinda glad I opted to play Horizon Forbidden West first now… as if I’d gone with Elden Ring by booking tomorrow off, I’d be fuming if I didn’t get a chance to play it until 3pm.

Mine just got delivered

@kyleforrester87 jealous bud, enjoy!!

@R1spam Thanks man! Hopefully get a few hours in this evening before bed.

@kyleforrester87 Do report your deaths-per-hour number

@EclipseZero someone ordered it for me actually, from The Game Collection - I never heard of them but would use them again based on this.

@kyleforrester87 @EclipseZero Yeah TGC are solid, have used them a few times so I can recommend them.

I managed to get a couple of hours in, and once I stopped trying to throw Pokeballs at everything.. damn it’s enthralling. There are gunna be some good weekends for people!

Elden Ring will be coming tomorrow. Decent price actually and hopefully it compliments Horizon playing both at the same time.

@nessisonett I couldn’t do that.. I really struggle playing 2 third person games at once, I can’t jump between the control schemes. I am already struggling trying to play some Pokémon to wind down before bed lol.

I'm very hyped, but souls fanboys are acting like Elden Ring is the best thing they haven't played yet and we know we have contenders remaining (Starfield, GoW, Atlus's Soul Hackers and Zelda).

I was enjoying poking, but people are actually believing Elden Ring will win every game of life poll.

@kyleforrester87 I’ve already had that with Horizon. Having played Valhalla recently and Spider-Man as well, the controls are different in all of those. Elden Ring should be fine though, I mean the network test played identically to Dark Souls 3 after all!

@EclipseZero Blimey. That is a lot of 10's!

@EclipseZero Um. Ok?

@EclipseZero You ok?

I'm just messing around.

What poll are you talking about?

@EclipseZero You mean TGAs?

Well. You have a point that it's between AAA games, but if it was popularity alone, Sekiro wouldn't have won or COD would be nominated each year.

If that's the "poll" you're referring to.

Got my one hour time slot for delivery at a decent time. Won't get chance to play it until I get home later.

Apparently the latest patch has not been great for the game though.

@JohnnyShoulder if it’s any assurance, what I played was fine performance wise. It’s not perfect but don’t worry about it tbh.

Cheers @kyleforrester87. Most of the technical issues I've heard of can be fixed hopefully. Not ideal, but is the world we live in currently. Plus I played cyberpunk 2077 at launch, so that should prepare me for anything lol.

Does anybody know whether or not the PS5 version has any DualSense features? I'm still weighing up whether to go PS5 or Series X. From what I can tell the PS5 version has better loading times and a higher overall frame rate, but on the other hand friends are more likely to go Xbox which is making me lean that way.
