Ughhh I wanna play this so bad on PC but a port is nowhere to be seen for the future  Of all the Souls-Borne games this is the only one I'm interested in due to the gothic/victorian-horror aesthetic 

it is so so well made i was OBSESSED  and yeah this is my first FromSoftware game and i saw a couple of minutes of Dark Souls III and it just doesn't hit the same... i wanna play Sekiro tho

 

get a PS then! (if you can ofc)

Is The Last of Us coming to PC or not in the end? Can't believe I spent 45 hours on MGS:V already and I'm only at 15% completion.

21 years later and Silent Hill 2 is still a masterpiece and a landmark in horror media

Been missing the Shin Megami Tensei universe since I've finished Persona 5 Strikers, so I went ahead and bought Soul Hackers 2 which is a nice little game until P5Royal get released next month!

So I've had decades of experience playing RPGs (mainly JRPGs like FF series, Resonance of Fate, Star Ocean, Tales, Kingdom Hearts etc) I want to play Elden Ring. I was wondering if it's really worth the hype? What can I expect? I've skimmed the classes and I'm gravitating towards Astrologer (I love magic, so I'm thinking of building a Glass Cannon character). I've never played a Souls game and I've heard bosses are quite hard but I also handled some fairly hard bosses like those ridiculous optional bosses from other games like The Mysterious Figure (KHBBS), Vanitas Sentiment (KHBBS), Vercingetorix (FFXIII) etc so can I handle such game with apparently difficult bosses?

Finished Ghost of Tsushima. Woow, such a grat game

Now I´m into Horizon - Forbidden West.

Playing Control. Feels weird, but just an hour in. Feels like something Hideo Kojima would write.

I got Elden Ring on release day. Just beat it a couple weeks ago as a pure mage build (Astrologer starting class). It was my first souls game too, didn’t know what to expect. 
 

I can’t recommend the game enough. The world is beautiful, the progression over time is super fun, the spells are really cool, you can go at your own pace. I found it challenging but not frustrating. It is so satisfying to finally beat a boss you have tried a few times. If anything is too hard, you can explore more of the huge open world and level up a bit, it really helps. 
 

I would definitely recommend doing a mage run for your first play through. I loved being able to use more ranged attacks as I suck at melee typically. I just started a new game as a Faith/Prophet build and I’m finding it harder than mage build at this point. 
 

I say you should try it for sure. I think it is my favorite game of all time. If you have any questions, let me know!

Currently playing Tales of Arise on PS5 and Vampyr. Both very different but fun. Tales looks beautiful and if you’re into jrpgs you’re gonna love it. Vampyr its very moody and interesting, love that i decided to give it a try on this time of the year, since I’m in the Halloween spirit

I've ordered a physical copy after being skeptical for a while now thanks to your post. Elden Ring is everywhere on the internet especially its first few weeks of being released but I tried not to spoil much of it and I saw like 1 boss fight skskskk I'm thinking of starting with the highest difficulty available for the first run

I'm just gonna say, Rinwell is THAT *****. Soloed an optional boss with her constantly casting her strongest spells and it was  glorious

I’m glad you’re giving it a try! Heads up - there are no difficulty settings in this game. I hated that at first (I have always played everything on easy mode ala BOTW), but one of the best parts of the experience was the challenge and the satisfaction of beating something after trying so many times. It can definitely be frustrating though.
 

You can always “summon” real people at the curved summon signs to help you if you have access to online. I didn’t do this at first, but it’s super fun. 
 

I hope you love it and make sure you give it time! It takes a while to get used to, but worth it imo.

Ghost of Tsushima is very repetitive and some of the missions are boring. Beautiful graphics though.

I've been playing through all the main series Final Fantasy games in chronological order. I just finished FFIV (Playing the Pixel Remasters for 1-6).

 

It was my first time really playing it. I think I played the DS remake maybe as a kid but didn't get as far as Cecil becoming a Paladin.

 

The game has very good concepts and I believe it was the origin of the ATB system found in JRPGs, mainly the other Final Fantasy games in the 90s. You can see the beginnings of what led Final Fantasy to become a global phenomenon.

 

My biggest problem with the game was party members joining your party then leaving, or in most cases aluding to their death. It got a bit tiring to see most of the guests "die" off and it lost it's impact after the second time around and then on the final boss fight I think most of them are alive again?

 

The story has super interesting concepts but they don't get fleshed out. Maybe cause the game is 30 years old but you have Rydia in your party for most of the game and the main character murdered their parents/whole village and it gets briefly mentioned at the start and then all is forgiven and it's time to fight the real bad guy!!!

 

Anyways, it's time to move onto FFV

Decided to play through The Dark Pictures Anthology since it's spooky season. Finished Man of Medan, the ship was very creepy and there were a couple of jump scares that got me, but the twist at the end was so predictable and I hated it. Accidentally got everyone killed but didn't care because I hated them all

So the game arrived and its the weekend and I decided to boot it. The game welcomed me with this strong ass centaur that two-shot me  tried him a couple of times and just managed to bring his health to a half

I’m so sorry! Like I said, it is overwhelming at first. You can always run away and get stronger in easier areas, that’s what I did. I also used online wikis/guides to help me when I was stuck. Doing that did not spoil anything for me personally on first play-through and made it more fun. If you are doing a mage build, try to get the Meteor Staff and Rock Sling spell in Caelid, that helped me a ton and it’s easy to get on your horse, you can just run past everyone. 
 

If you give it a chance and explore a little more, it is much more enjoyable. As someone who plays most games on easy-mode, I appreciated the challenge. I understand if it’s just not your type of game though.

Ddddd it's fine. Anyway, I love the exploration but one time I was minding my own business and looting treasures then suddenly this one teleported me to some cave called Selia or something and the ******* there one shots me and I couldn't fast travel with map so I had to rush around the cave to find the nearest grace point  I'm currently building a Glass Cannon so I couldn't really fault the game. I've beaten Margit and decided to explore the South and apparently this Peninsula is kinda easier than the rest of the North? I've beaten some bosses there and after beating the tree avatar and opening a treasure chest near the erdtree (sp?), I was once again teleported to some godforsaken place and now I'm in Academia or something  Anyway this game is full of surprises and I'm very much enjoying it!
