I played Elden Ring for 30 hours... my thoughts

Ойындар

Elden Ring is good. Bandai Namco invited me to play the Elden Ring network test a few days early, so I took full advantage of the opportunity. Here are my thoughts after playing for way too long.

    @Don Lobo It's the usual FS proven method of subtly guiding players so that they get at least a vague understanding of what they should do. It's like the chime maidens showing up in Bloodborne after Rom (or in the first chalice dungeon if players went and did that first) and the player learning that killing them stops them from spawning more enemies and also makes the enemies easier to kill. Then you get to the One Reborn and the idea is to go up to the next floor to take out the chime maidens that are helping the boss, because by then players are usually conditioned to locate the chime maiden and kill her to make things a little less unpleasant. This also lets Souls veterans see that there is fall damage, but that it's likely different than in previous games. In Sekiro we don't really take fall damage given the ability to jump, but I think they want to make players aware that while they can jump in Elden Ring, fall damage is still present and the usual aggravation.

    @@malazan6004 I haven't played either of those to draw any comparisons. What I've seen though shows me it's not much like an Ubisoft open-world game. There aren't side-quests beyond what we have the option to do with NPCs like in previous games. No markers telling us to go here or there; just that little suggestion via the stream of light that we don't have to pay attention to at all. There seems to be a good spacing of enemies in that players can travel without constantly running into something that wants to kill them, but they're not so widely spaced that you can run/ride for a while before running into said enemies. I hate that about Horizon Zero dawn; feels like I can't go 50 yards without running in to a group of machines or something. It's almost too packed with all kinds of shit. All the little side/hidden dungeons are ones players have to seek out themselves and a good many seem to be ones easily missed since they're a bit tucked away. I think the incentive for exploring will be those ashes of war, the spirit summons to help in fights, and the like. Depending on how crafting is involved, I likely won't mess much with that. I'm less likely to go with a bow unless it turns out to work very well for me.

    This is honestly such a fun video to look back on. it's a really great look at why Limgrave and the first 20-30 hours of Elden Ring are such an incredible opening to the game. By the end of the game dungeons do start to get samey and you do end up repeating encounters (which I don't really have an issue with, some specific exceptions aside) but that first 30 hours is the best game I've ever played. Bearing in mind, other Souls games are shorter than that, that says a lot.

The rewards from chests and enemies are not rewarding because you usually end up with an item that's not used for your build . The worst part of the game by far is the copy and paste of enemies and dungeons. They are all the same literally you just fight the same guys over and over again and all the dungeons look exactly like ever other dungeon. Considering my library has over 800 games I think I can say with confidence that Elden Ring is a solid 7 out of 10 but not 10 of 10

The fact that the fall only *HURTS* you is super important at communicating "Hey, you'll have to be careful, sometimes you can Try Down without instantly dying.

    I think the initial fall into the tutorial is actually encouraging and helpful. The fact that it damages you let's you know it wasn't just a fluke leap. It tells you you can will be damaged by falls, gives you an idea of what damage to expect from said height and let's veterans know it isn't lethal as it would have been from previous titles.

    ​@@IronPineapple I agree, I think there is another fall in the tutorial caves but I might be thinking of somewhere else, I remember a fall near a glowing tree in the cave just before the "boss fight" with the soldier? But if they wanted to effectively give people an understanding of the fall damage range they should have it be a pair of falls one right after the other to cement it in your mind.

There were areas where I was taking fall damage from certain heights and then other areas I wasn't taking damage from that same height or even higher. I didn't understand the rhyme or reason.

    @@iceran9622 I think that this will be a lot more easy to get into for non-souls fans, or people that found the game too hard, but I don't think this will be a mainstream hit. Now if I am wrong, I'm wrong, but I seriously don't think it will be. What do the mainstream eat up? Amazing visuals. While this games visuals are pleasing, it looks dated before release. The texture detail is lacking, and the lighting isn't as stark/impressive as many modern games. I mean compare this to Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2, or any mainstream game that came out in the last 4 years is either on par or better looking. As for gameplay, I don't think many people in the mainstream enjoy brutally hard/challenging games. Most people are interesting in gunplay rather than swordplay. The only thing that will make this mainstream if it does go mainstream is the hype around such a title. "Elden Ring" has been hyped up by many since its reveal trailer. That will be the only thing that could bring this game into the forefront. I mean the whole Souls series sold 27 million, including the remaster. That's a whole series of games, that sold for about as much as RDR2, less than Skyrim, about a quarter as much as GTA:V, less than a quarter of Minecraft... Compared to Monster Hunter World the series only got 7 million above that single games sales. Less sales than: Duck Hunt, Wii Play, Pokémon Gold / Silver / Crystal, Human: Fall Flat, The Witcher 3, Diablo III, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Terraria, Mario Kart Wii... For a whole series to be outsold like that... Is Elden Ring really going to go mainstream? The next question is: does it matter if it does or doesn't? EDIT: So far the hype for uncoming games 2022 is all on Elden Ring, so early sales will be the biggest indication of whether this game goes mainstream or not.

    I’ve been around for the ride and played all the Dark Souls games and Sekiro, and this made me so excited it’s cathartic. Like it made me feel excited in a way I haven’t in a long, long time. Damn, I might just shed one too

    Its been awesome to see From Software's rise to stardom. Feels like every single Soulsborne game brings a heap of new players. Never compromising on a design philosophy that supposedly "isolates" players because of it's difficulty. To the point where it's had a huge impact on game design as an industry. Fun stuff.

    Damn just from this video I can tell that it’s exceeding my expectations, I thought it was going to basically be dark souls and Sekiro combined, but it’s much more. It’s Skyrim, AC, Dark souls and Sekiro combined with mid air combat and jumping horses. Before I was patient but now I can’t wait for it to release. I preordered it like 2 weeks ago.

    The first drop isn't to discourage jumping down long falls, in fact the drop is so high and you take so little damage to show you that you can drop far farther than you could in darksouls l

    @@ArthaxtaDaVince777 Ringed city has specific points where you don't take damage (where the ash is present). Something that is not in any of the three souls game barring the aforementioned dlc. I don't see the relevancy of your comment here. >.>

    I like the idea of being able to "cheese" overworld boss fights. More sandbox-type thinking in gameplay gets me excited to experiment.

    And even when you are, it seems more like a process. It'll take some experimentation to figure out how your going to cheese them.
