Elden Ring [OT] Shadow of the Erdtree expansion announced











"As somebody who's played all of Miyazaki's games over at least the last decade, this is clearly the most ambitious game that he's done," he says. "I mean, I love his games, but seeing some of the gameplay mechanics stuff that he's tackling, he and the team are tackling this time, of the setting, working with another creator in terms of story. I love it."

The other creator Spencer mentions is, of course, Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin, who has worked on the story for the upcoming open world game.

According to Spencer, Elden Ring is Miyazaki "expanding his horizons." He also says that leaves the room while Spencer plays. "I think that's because I'm a bad player, and then when he comes back we'll have a conversation about things that I think," he says. "He's so passionate about what he does. It's one of the things I just love about getting to work with him on some of these games and seeing them come to our platform."

"expanding his horizons."

This is exactly what I want from From Software. Breaking away from the tired Souls formula got us Sekiro so this sounds great. Really hope we get to see gameplay soon.

Ceetee, you have played well my friend. Dont spoil anything though :p

Also, you re already done with PvE, PvP is what you meant :p

And yes, you are so right about the size and scope of Elden Ring.

The Capital alone is a decent sized souls game of its own, its HUGE!

This game is all about exploration and I love that the most about it.

Also, my game time so far, 36 hours since launch. I am level 76, pure DEX melee, even the skill on my katana is default 'Sheathe' lol

Call me old fashioned but I am all about the melee. Right now, I am going after Radhan. Explorin' Caelid. I should have come here earlier as I feel over leveled for this area.

The game could've done a better job at this but it doesn't tell the player anything so it that sense it looses some of the tightly crafted experience of the previous games. Its easy to continue exploring at will and reach an area where the encounters become trivial.

It's those damn'd graces light beams that took me in the opposite direction. Better to follow your own path, its better that way, I would still take total freedom like this over any form of hand holding in open world games.

I am so happy for them! :love:

Also, General Radhan!!

Lol, beat him first attempt in under a minute or something. I mean this guy was in the freakin' promotional trailers. Even In-game they hyped it so much, a frakin' war festival is held by the npcs just to fight him. I think, he is supposed to be the very first boss the player has to face, I felt over leveled when I entered Caelid, immediately!

I also checked his fights on youtube afterwards, apprarently he has a second phase too & it looks AWESOME!

Too bad, I absolutely murdered him in his first phase :p, the KATANA is not to be trifled with. He bled & then got stunned at the same time almost, finished him with a CRIT!

The End.

Searching for another Uchighatana to dual wield.

Matlab sirf EU mein it outsold PlayStation. Now ask your friend Matt Piscatella about NA :LOL:

As for Radahn, one doesn't even need to be over-leveled to murder him in his first phase when magic is as OP as it is in this game lol.

Asks for source, then comes up with another excuse to downplay it. Typical CerebralTiger :ROFLMAO:

Don't be surprised if PC version outsold PS5+PS4 in NA as well. I asked your friend Matt and he told me PS players were busy buying Forbidden West on PS platforms :ROFLMAO:

Also, that spell should consume & drain either stamina or FP as you keep throwing it out! This is broken.

Well, I beat Radahn at level 48 using Necrokiller's favorite claw. Much to his disappointment, no grinding involved 😄

A difference of 4% doesn't even need to be downplayed. Chances are NA sales more than make up for that difference 🤣

4% is a lot when you consider how much the game has sold. Even more since CerebralTiger wouldn't have expected it at all 🤷‍♂️

As for NA, Forbidden West outsold Elden Ring on PS platforms so the chances aren't looking good for ya 🤣

That's okay, Pokemon Arceus (a game that wasn't even released in Feb lol) outsold the PC version of Elden Ring in EU. Nintendo is inevitable :LOL: 🤜

Yea but you summoned everyone & their granny for the fight :p

Honestly this just proves Radhan is the first boss you should face in the game.

Co-op is easy mode, magic is too OP, but summoning makes the game hard apparently 🤷‍♂️🤣

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
