Some of you do not understand exactly how much Americans love college football plus the fact that this game has not released in many years. College football fans are some of the most passionate fan bases. The buzz around this game in the US was/is huge. If they are willing to pay for it, so be it. I am a huge college football fan with Penn State being my favorite team. The stadium holds 107,000 people and is one of the most fun experiences you could have at any sporting event. With all of that being said, there is no way in hell I personally would pay $100 for any game (outside of Elden Ring). I will wait for a sale or play on EA play next year.
On all platforms, not just PS5, sans switch. Just putting that out here because it is not an exclusive to the PS5. People should know that. And this article, like all others from gaming journalists, should mention other platforms.
@Odium Good stuff. That hippo was ridiculous. I am now trying to beat Commander Gaius. Part of my problem is I am doing the DLC on NG+7, where the health pool of the bosses is bonkers. It is my own fault for playing Elden Ring that many times but it is my favorite game of all time. I am level 422 and am still getting destroyed. Loving every minute of it.
@WhiteRabbit That is impressive. I struggled so much with Rellana that I almost gave up. The blasphemous blade works great on the Putrescent Knight (or fire in general).
Shadow of the Erdtree is without a doubt the hardest content From has ever made. I have played and beat every one of their games. I absolutely love it. There are ways to make it easier. Some bosses you can summon up to 3 people. The scadutree fragments really help as well. I understand that it can be too much for some people but for me it is great after beating some of these bosses (ie Renalla after 20 times).
8 out of 10. Base game. 9 out of 10. Demons Souls Remake 10 out of 10. This is a joke. I understand this is a PlayStation site but come on. I played the demons souls remake and it was unbelievable. But it doesn’t hold a candle to Elden Ring. Is this just to pacify those that worship a box? This review and Eurogamer are ridiculous. Liam man, what is the deal?
Is this another article to have all the internet keyboard warriors start another fight about whose box is better? Come on. If there is any reason for an article like this, at least post the full context of the interview. On another note, back to the games. Who is ready for Shadow of the Erdtree!!
@UltimateOtaku91 Can you just enjoy games and not bow to a plastic box? I have to ask, do you even play games or just post hate on this site? Stop the blind loyalty and enjoy life and the games!!!!
It doesn't matter how many consoles they sell if they are barely making any money. Revenue and operating don't matter if they have an extremely low profit margin.
@Jay767 Dude, you need to chill out. Your blind loyalty to a box is really off putting. You worship PlayStation like it is a god. We are all gamers. Liking one over another does not elevate your status in life. Leave Honest Hick alone. Like him, I own all consoles and own a PC just because I love gaming.He is not an Xbox fanboy. He is one of the most level headed posters on all sites.
Tried it on Game Pass and it was not for me. I guess a certain type of gamer likes this type of niche game. It does however have a 4.8 rating in the PS Store.
Just so everyone is aware, the game is available on PS, Xbox and PC. Not sure why this site can’t acknowledge that this game is available on other platforms. All other websites acknowledge this. It is okay that other platforms exist.
So many hot takes in this thread. Lina Khan and the FTC do not care about the layoffs. The FTC run by Khan is the biggest sham of an organization at the present moment. They just want to try and block the merger at all costs as Khan hates big tech in general. They are using this to continue their fabricated social justice crusade.
Article author, it is ok to mention that this is coming to Switch and Xbox. You can say the names of the alternative consoles in your article. I don’t think many will be offended as they own one, two or three of them.Every other site mentions other consoles that games are coming to.not this one though. Why is that?
@MFTWrecks I would love third person. Refuse to buy it without third person. “No reason” to buy it except for, you know, snarky condescending comments that put others down for what they like. No reason at all.

Re: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Reaches 5 Million Sales in First Three Days
@WhiteRabbit Surprisingly I beat this guy on the first try. Rellana on the other hand took me at least 25 tries. Same with that damn Golden Hippo.
