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.

The 'sluggish-ness' was intentional, it was a stat you could upgrade in the early souls games.

But this one is a mix of DS 3 & Sekiro.

Holy shit, The PS5 pounds both the ass boxes in loading times!

Same area can be loaded twice on the PS5 while the shoe box is still in its first loading screen! hahaha.

Framerate is generally higher than Series X as well.

Yeah, ER sets a middle ground between DS3 and Sekiro. There's deliberate weight with some actions, but boosting the endurance stat and carrying light weight equipment makes a difference otherwise. In DS3, no matter what I did, it never got to a point where I was okay with it. And, yes, DS1/2's sluggishness could be reduced as well (it was the adaptability stat in DS2).

Also, I find parrying with a shield to be more responsive in ER as compared to DS3.

In my experience, the Series X is the odd one out here. On my PC the load times are same as PS5. Not sure whats going on with Series consoles.

Have lost interest in PS4 trophies ever since save file hacking became a thing on the console. Transferring the PS4 version's save file doesn't auto unlock the PS5 version's trophies.

PS4/PS5 Autopop & Save Transfer: Save Transfer = YES, Autopop = NO
PS5 plat ki apni baat hai. Can tolerate some performance issues for that :LOL:🤜

Going to start this either tonight or tomorrow. Any recommendations for the stating class. I want to experiment with a hybrid built so i can use both magic and melee.

Would that be ideal in the longer run or should i just stick to maxing out 1 ability only ?

Start with any pure mage or faith build character, you can pump the dex or str as you go along.

And yes, ranged builds make these games much easier.

Rather pick a weapon and build your character around that weapon, e.g, with a mage/faith build for melee, choose thrusting swords like a Rapier or Estoc etc. Focus on DEX imstead of strength

Yeah, pick the Astrologer (mage) as your starting class. Powerpyx also recommends it:

Which build should I play? – Astrologer (Mage) is the most beginner-friendly because of the constant distance between you and the bosses. It requires less dodging and many bosses are easily exploitable with certain magic spells. So go with Astrologer for an easier time.
