@Tjuz I would not let the claimed difficulty of Elden Ring put you off. Apart for some of the main bosses, I do not think it was that difficult. As i've played the previous Souls games and their brethren, maybe that is the reason. However, my mate at work popped his cherry with Elden RIng and managed to complete it. Getting used to the more measured combat was what took the longest to get his head around. It definitely From Software's most accessable game so far, and there are a few tools to assist players. Plus as it is open world, their are more options to the player to go off and explore if they do come across a stumbling block.

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.

1. Aww, man. That's a shame 😢 I feel you. Maybe you could still try and use gaming as a way to stay in touch, even if it is harder having moved away. It's always sad when it happens, and moving can be a b**** when it comes to friendships and routines.

2. Only the very wisest of people purchase KCD, so you've made the first step on a journey to joy there. (Hopefully) my one tip, is to not think like a gamer when playing, as it almost punishes game tropes and expectations in favour of realism and logic, to some extent, anyway.

Elden Ring has a bunch of ways to make a lot of bosses pretty easy, it will still slap you from time to time, but I was like you, going in. I didn't like failing or struggling with difficult, but it taught me to play way more chilled out, even though it seemed like stuff that would stress the old me, it crafted me into someone that enjoyed it even when I was failing, a combination of world design, enemy design, bat sh** craziness, music, lighting, it just felt awesome even if you had to go and do it again. And that in itself was the reward, rather than beating an enemy. It alsobhas a cool mechanic where you can hop into other people's games to help them, which, at launch, was a very cool way to quickly redo bosses you'd beaten to help others, and probably still is, as the game remains pretty popular, I guess.

When it seems you're out of luck.

@Yousef- @JohnnyShoulder @Ravix Well, how can I resist all of you telling me not to worry about the difficulty as much, haha? I'll trust you all over its reputation then, but it's unfortunate that it would keep people like myself away because of it! I'll let you all know when I do try it out. I'll still wait a bit for a good sale to get it during.

@Th3solution You're all good. I heard through the grapevine that a few individuals of my reasons for leaving in the first place are no longer present, so I decided to join back up again. If those reasons return then I may depart again. We'll see.


@JohnnyShoulder Thanks, pal.

Greetings fellow gamers
been snooping around this forum and webpage for some time now and wanted to say hello in an official way. I am a 48 year old dude from Norway, been playing games since the early 80ths. First game was Mario Bros and Donkey Kong on the Coleco and i was hooked on a feeling as the song goes. My first own gaming "computer" was the c64. I love Eye of the beholder, Last Ninja, Turrican, Ghosts and goblins, Pirates, Elite, IK+, Prince of Persia, Defender of the Crown, Impossible Mission and the list goes on. Since then i have been playing on and off for 40 years. I now have the ps5 and pc but i have surrendered to the ps5 and my big screen and i am never going back to the small screen.

For the moment i have too many games and not enough time, so i am working through my backlog patiently. I am now playing Final Fantasy 7 remake, Ghostrunner, Streets of Rage 4, Crusader Kings 3 and my online guilty pleasure Marvel Rivals. I dont know if i have a favourite game, there have been so many in the years i have played. I do love GTA and i just finished RDR2 and i loved it too or i loved Arthur Morgan (i didnt love that he died, almost quit). I think that i love alot of games and its hard to pick between things that you love.

My other hobbies includes books, music and training. I even have a job or a part time job as an archaeologist. Here in Norway excavations are held between april/may to nov/dec. I have or i am building my own amateur library so i do alot of reading. I like Knut Hamsun, Brandon Sanderson, Karl Ove Knausgård, Tolkien, Haruki Murakami, Fjodor Dostojevskij, John Connolly, Boris Akunin, Agatha Christie, Patrick O Brian, Orhan Pamuk and many more. I also read alot of comics. Music has been my first and biggest love and i listen to everything that has some kind of soul and passion. My favourites are Bruce Springsteen, Emperor, Death, Huun Huur Tu, Grant Lee Buffalo, Wu Tang Clan, Ol Dirty, GZA, Judas Priest, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, Armin Van Buuren, Alania, Biosphere, Miles Davies and again many more and more.

I do some training, mostly running, strength at home and some martial arts. Bruce Lee made me do it. I do like a nice martial art movie. Fist of Fury kicks ass. Well, thx for reading and read you around
