Funny thing is I was always too intimidated by From Software games and their notorious difficulty. Tried my first one when Bloodborne was free on PS Plus. Didn’t get past the third major boss before giving up 😅 However when Sekiro dropped I couldn’t help but be intrigued and excited because of it having that Japanese/ samurai approach to it.

This was one of the most exciting and well delivered reviews that I’ve seen. Captured my sentiment perfectly. But I’m only like 30 hours in

Now this is an open world! Ubisoft take notes. I'm glad games like Zelda BotW helped expand the tired open world formula. Other games like Divinity Original Sin 2 also have this immense freedom to it as well. I'm really excited about how there are so many ways to get to reach each objective and that you can entirely skip out on large portions of content. It sounds backwards but it helps make your experience of the game more personal. I did the same with Zelda and didn't even reach one of the main towns. That game had lots of things you discovered by accident. This game looks like it is taking those elements and really rolling with it. The big dungeons are stuff of dreams! They look so complex and full of wonder. I'm really excited to explore one of them. I'm glad this is getting good scores across the board and that reviewers are pointing out the exploration aspect. Hopefully publishers/devs start creating open world games worth exploring.

With DS 1 they set the bar for what a linear action RPG should be. With DS 2 and Miyazaki being less involved, they took a misstep. When bloodborne came around, Miyazaki raised the bar again. DS 3 saw Fromsoft once again showing there class creating something that capped off the souls series in an awesome way. With Sekiro, many people had high expectations, Fromsoft once again met and exceeded those expectations creating a work of art. With Elden Ring it seems they are pushing the genre forward and raising the bar again.

Because you’re into fantasy. Probably like the Witcher & Skyrim too. I can’t stand fantasy RPGs. Sucks to be me when literally every decent open world RPG is fantasy driven. I want something real. RDR2 the closest thing I get. No one is even trying to replicate it in a modern world setting.

@@JC-li8kk You're an odd duck. Why are you thinking people are gonna feel bad that you've run out of dopamine hits for playing too many of one genre of games when you were a kid or whatever. I get what your saying but that doesn't really apply to most people. For example most of the time I'm too tired and don't have the motivation to play a video game because I've got too many other things on my mind, but here I am 50 hours Into elden ring. Was a slow start I'll admit but I'm getting there and this game is absolutely incredible. It's got a mix between real and fantasy and has a lot of cool references to other games like the rock snakes and the rolling goats are interesting. Honestly if anything this game has a mixed feeling of RuneScape, Skyrim, and dark souls for me, oh and maybe Xenoblade. And I fucking love it

There is no other studio or a designer more talented in the industry today than From Software or Mizazaki.

Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)

What is that music in the background of this review? Is it from the game? I played through over 50% of the game and don’t remember hearing this track. It’s really cool.

ahhhhahaha i'm so excited!!!! i've never seen a single AAA game get so many 10/10's it's like 100% 10/10 by dozens of big gaming websites/journalists. not even uncharted 2 or last of us got more than a handful of 10's and 90% 9/10, where as this game is all perfect scores. i'm losing my mind!!! i want it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TloU and Uncharted 2 have Metascores of 95 and 96 respectively - they definitely don't have "90% 9/10". That being said, Elden Ring is unbelievably consistent so far with not a single review below 9/10, which is pretty insane.

I've been in since the dark souls 1 on PC. To the new people who don't know it, ds1 PC only got a release because From responded to a fan petition, and then literally had to apologize for bugs and missing settings because they had never done PC development before. The fans patched it. I wound up quitting when I got to gwyn, because I never want that adventure to be over. I'll do it when I'm retired. I've killed the queen, the moon presence, orphan of kos, issin, soul of cinder, Gael, but not gwyn. I don't know if I'll beat whoever the final boss of elden ring is either.

I don’t mind having fantasy RPGs out there I just don’t think it’s fair to assume all gamers want fantasy RPG & therefore that’s the majority of what we get. Assassins creed is basically fantasy RPG now. Just because we are forced to buy them & play them (or stop gaming altogether) does not mean it’s what we want. There is literally nothing I dislike about ER other than the fantasy aspect. Turn every “monster” encounter into a human encounter & I’ll probably love it just as much as RDR2.

You need to clarify in the heading that you are talking about the PC version only here. The console version is an unknown until it launches. They are claiming framerates will be fixed but it seems doubtful based on From Software's total disregard towards patching a game post launch to fix issues.
