One's first experience with Souls games is like taking a test and realizing the test in on an entirely different subject than the one you prepared for.

I got Demon Souls for the PS3. Kept dying at the tutorial boss (you are supposed to). Rage quit. Dark Souls came out. Was so in. Read a Forbes article that broke down the game was perfect. I was what was wrong. Just grinded through shear grit to get to first boss. Finally beat first boss and it all clicked and made sense. I slowed down my gameplay, became very intentional, and adopted the mindset that every death was a learning experience. Souls games are the most rewarding game experience I have ever had.

Picked up the remastered Demons Souls for PS5. Amazzze Ballzzz.

I already told my GF I will disappear for a month when Elden Ring is released.

True. But mostly good content. And it is easy to just skip 'fetch' quests and the like if you want. But my gaming OCD makes that almost impossible.

From Software very recently did a 'open' beta test of Elden Ring with essentially a finished build of the game. It did not disappoint. The game may live up to the hyperbole:

Yeah I can't skip stuff either.
But I have been pleased with the quality of the filler.

I have a poverty level computer so a lot of modern games won't play on my computer, but I'm still going to sift for some deals. I should upgrade my system at some point but I just hate being gouged.

aurelius wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 8:53 am Fuck game developers. They release a handful of qualify games over 2 plus years (and most were remakes!). Then in the same month they drop Dying Light 2, Next-Gen Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Forbidden West, and Elden Ring.

That is over a year's worth of gaming dropped in the same month. Fuck.

hsilman wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 10:42 amSo buy one of them(I'm guessing Dying Light 2 will stay high costed) and wait for the rest to be 20-30 bucks in a month.
