Important first steps!I'm finally (consistently) playing Elden Ring.
I have just met Melina.
And can now level up.
Indeed!Important first steps!
I've been itching to do another playthrough at some point, but I've decided to wait until there's DLC (whenever that happens) since I have so much else to play right now already.Indeed!
Is anyone else here still playing this game?
Like once a month I get the urge to mess with one of these, and there's still fun to be had for me in ER so I'll poke at it some.Indeed!

I played it on both PS5 and Xbox Series X around launch but now play on Steam Deck if I just want to boot it up for a few minutes of exploring or messing around. Still incredible. Hope you stick with it and enjoy it. Keep us posted on your progress!Indeed!

Sure thing!I played it on both PS5 and Xbox Series X around launch but now play on Steam Deck if I just want to boot it up for a few minutes of exploring or messing around. Still incredible. Hope you stick with it and enjoy it. Keep us posted on your progress!
Oh nice!Like once a month I get the urge to mess with one of these, and there's still fun to be had for me in ER so I'll poke at it some.
I mean the thing that gets me back to these games is they are very relaxing and free flowing, so I just chill and vacuum through them often. Good vibes for me. Setting is pretty laid back this time around, even the darker zones have their serenity.Oh nice!
That's great to read.
It is surprisingly "addicting" because the concept of just leveling up your character just to get stronger (but don't get killed or you'll lose your runes) is neat. It's an old thing, but I missed it. And possibly dying but still keeping your runes offers a nice challenge to it all.
Also, I'm an A Song of Ice and Fire fan so I thought I might as well play this game.
I've actually just bought a PS5 and Im obsessed with this game. I happen to be working less these days (Im a tour guide and this is the low season), and I can't stop playing. I have two friends who are huge fans of the game and they're replaying it with me in coop, and it's been a blast. It really does feel like an adventure when you go inside a castle with your friends and you warn each other of dangers and so on.Indeed!

An unexpectedly cozy game, eh?I mean the thing that gets me back to these games is they are very relaxing and free flowing, so I just chill and vacuum through them often. Good vibes for me. Setting is pretty laid back this time around, even the darker zones have their serenity.
All good.I want to do a second playthrough but it'll probably wait until DLC.
7-8 months turn around from release to DLC is pretty typical for Fromsoft, and they've pushed DLC a year later a couple times before. All the titles From did with Bamco got kinda milked on the DLC front so I wouldn't be surprised to see something beefy pop up soonish. If it doesn't happen oh well, just would be pretty surprising to me.All good.
Frankly, I wonder if I'll get to play any DLC at all because they so far haven't announced anything, but I'm hopeful.
Oh good point. I don't often play Souls-games or From Software games so I don't readily know this.7-8 months turn around from release to DLC is pretty typical for Fromsoft, and they've pushed DLC a year later a couple times before.

TGA 2023 shadowdrop. You heard it here first.

Same here. There's something incredibly chill about wandering the world and powering through levels. Once I managed to relax and not stress out about difficult sections or losing some souls now and then the games became infinitely better.I'm so glad I'm not the only one who finds these games comfy and relaxing
It has a rough reputation among Souls games but IMO it's still quite good. Biggest complaints are that its combat is a bit slower more akin to DS1, and that it doesn't have the greatest bosses, and I think both of those are fair complaints. But it still has some really excellent locations and there's a lot to like about it.I've played through every Soulsborne game multiple times. Dark Souls 1, 3, Bloodborne. Many, many times.
I have not played past the first five minutes of Dark Souls 2.
I'm saving it for a special time in my life. Not sure when yet. I barely know anything about it. I have Scholar of the First Sin on my shelf.
My condolences. Scholar of the First Sin is in many ways a worse version of Dark Souls 2 in how the changes exacerbate the inherent problems of the base game by railroading you further and changing enemy quantities/locations in ways that make several sections far more obnoxious. It's a game that was often criticized by fans as being "hard for the sake of being hard instead of challenging to encourage you to overcome it." On the plus side there are tons of fun and viable builds in the game despite severe balance issues.I've played through every Soulsborne game multiple times. Dark Souls 1, 3, Bloodborne.

Music from 8 years ago:
Is this in the final form of the game?
oof, that sucksI just lost saved data for my Elden Ring play-through; I'm back in a previous area (East Limgrave) after having completed the Weeping Peninsula.
I was using WeMod but I think I was online the entire time.
And as a result (and I could be wrong about this), I lost my saved data and I got a message shortly afterward saying that I have a penalty of 180 days.
So yeah, now I'm back at a previous point and it's practically demoralized me.
Sigh
Yeah, I was trying to just enjoy the story, you know?oof, that sucks
always gotta double check and not go online with cheats!
maybe since you lost your save data, you should try going a different direction to change things up? come back to the Weeping Peninsula later, when the wound’s less freshYeah, I was trying to just enjoy the story, you know?
Explore and chill out with the game.
But eh, yeah, I should've been more careful.
I cleared one map and now I have to do it again (I was set back to before that map was cleared)...
This is basically what happened to me. I beat Radahn, then made my way to just outside the capital. Then I got covid, couldn’t play for like a week, and then never turned the game back on. Ugh.This year is the year; I’m finally gonna play through this thing. Just want to finish up a couple longer games I’m already in the middle of so I can properly concentrate on it. Lost my way a little after Radahn the first time. Maybe I’ll try a samurai?
Never grind, always find something else to kill that’s around your level- ER is literally designed to make sure you don’t have to grind like the last games. Also a quick, reliable, enjoyable source of experience: being summoned to other peoples’ games for boss fights around your level- a great way to get a chunk of experience and to engage in JOLLY COOPERATION!I don’t wanna grind that bird again, man.
