Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

So what if this game was like game of thrones from a rich lore perspective but with the combat of demons souls, which is what it sounds like....

Might be epic.

I’m calling it lord of the rings with souls combat and botw exploration. In other words, the best.game.ever.

Did you just jinx it?

Calling it, Dark Souls like combat in a Dark Souls like world only everything turned to 11.

Game of the century

I got an idea, hear me out. A Dark Souls combat system, but in a world that is in the theme of dark souls.

Mine's a bit of a layup but I'll call it anyways: I bet the story won't make any fucking sense.

Wtf is wrong with all you people that love Dark Souls games? Yes, please, bash my dick on concrete over and over again, I love it so much. You guys are all weird.

The times where you finally beat a boss can't be THAT good to make up for all the fucking stupid difficulty.

Just razzing you guys, as to each their own. I just don't get it.

From Soft games aren't that hard, especially if you've played them all. At worst there's a small handful of outlier bosses, and those are almost all from DLCs.

"Fucking stupid difficulty" should be reserved for something like Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master Ninja.

You basically have to let the game shape you into a survivor and a killer or you can't progress. That process just looks like pain

Crone - its something I cant quantify for everyone, but for me.. Its the fact that once I figure a boss out, I can beat him in 15-30 seconds and not take a single tick of damage. The challenge where the boss would make me scream in frustration one moment, is now relegated to a fucking grey mob in an MMO. Its not because I went out and farmed mind numbingly for three hours and came back and beat him because of brute force, but because I learned how to actually play against him. If you want to compare it to an MMO - its when you fight a Mythic boss and you have to throw your guild at it hundreds of times before everyone is on the same step, at the same exact fucking time. For me, just to make that clear, that is what makes these games enjoyable. Except, that if I get the bosses "gimmick" within 3 tries, I dont have to put up with johnny retard that cant understand the mechanic after the 103rd pull. It's a personal battle with me and the game and I appreciate that every once in a while.

It's up the player to make the games as hard as you want to make them. If you play a magic user, the Souls games are pretty easy. Melee only character with no shield or a parry shield plus no magic is the way to to play these games if you want a challenge. That is how I play them my first time around. 2nd or third play through I tinker around with easier builds.

Elden Ring seems like every character will have some sort of magic use to them.

I played Dark Souls for like 10 minutes and never again so could never get into these games. But after playing God of War (which I think is considered Souls-lite maybe? Similar mechanics but MUCH easier) I am definitely going to check this out.
