Bleed needs to be nerfed, it's so good that when I try something else it feels like I'm doing half the DMG
It's specially good against dragons and humanoids, I'm not even speccing into arcane since the weapons that scale with arcane are bugged, I'm doing full dex with bloodflame buff, 2 katanas, 80 dex
The uchigatana unsheathe skill is bonkers, super fast and breaks posture in 4 hits max using heavy attack(on the hardest enemies, most take 2 or 3)

If you have a Greatbow, you can potshot them from range. Sometimes they do lasers, but its the only thing they do besides walking back.

Indeed, I don't give much shits about UI. And the fact there is no quest marker that constantly pushes you into the same direction is a god send.
But ER does have a pointer on the map, that does point you towards your next goal. Its not in your face, however. You can follow it, or you can ignore it. NPC's have some mission for you, but its not outlined. You have to assume that its the castle close to them they want you to liberate, and you'll find out once you clear it. Which you should do anyway.
The likes of Horizon, you can disable everything, but the game will still lock you out of the majority of locations and scripts. As there is mostly really one way to advance the plot.

Open world games are doomed when even game designers don't understand what makes Elden Ring so great.

the broad sword is an excellent weapon , very good DPS , been playing without the shield, 2H and combat is faster and feels better..

This incredibly weird rage circlejerk on Twitter from other studios' game devs about how Elden Ring is more popular than their games feels extremely unprofessional. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.
If I were the manager of these guys I'd have a long talk with them.
Very unbecoming. Not to mention completely misplaced. A Battlefield 2042 UX designer is slamming Elden Ring. I mean, where do I even begin with that one?

That sword is completely busted. As long as you're okay having what might be the best weapon in the game at this stage, go for it.
It hits for regular, fire AND magic damage and scales with 3 stats, but the main use is that you can summon a wave of fire or a laser beam for not much FP at all. It absolutely destroys.

two things:
- once you press a button, you cant do anything until the animation is done. They catch your antecipation to slight movements to f you.
- unlike ANY game, you have to press the dash/iframe button way before it connects, as you have to consider it start AFTER you release the button. It's counter intuitive when any miscalculation of the tiny iframe window can let entirely exposed.
So yeah.

By first boss do you mean
Margit?
If so I find 60% that have beaten him an incredible achievement.

Pff, easy peasy. Fancy robes and fruity blue gritter magic is not so cool with my greatsword up their ass. Curved for their pleasure.

Technically it most deffinitely is. Everything for animations to combat to builds to items to bosses to co-op. Its an evolution of the same formula.
And the best fucking evolution of any ip EVER.

Sure do.
Seems the playerbase is sticking with it. Lot more people took him down I guess! That's pretty awesome to see.

Thanks, I not a Souls newbie ,but good advice!
Its just for me a pain in timing and avoiding the insane tracking on these enemies/camera

Stupid question, where the fuck is the first major boss?? i beated the dude with a gold hammer and gold knives and reached the castle, explored a lot but i can't find shit? I reached the point with the 2 giants with maces and the one with a bow in that long bridge, i thought the boss was at the end but nada.
Is he even in this castle? Do i have to unlock some door\elevator??
Well since i didn't finded him, i explored the zone with red stuff and the mutant giants dogs with bird heads but i think it is not the right path either...
Some enemy design are straight outta of bloodborne lol.

I just did it yesterday, the boss is incredibly weak against the Rock Sling spell.

I feel that, even with the summon effigy, the player base of a single platform is not enough for a healthy MP population throughout the game, specifically in obscure "hidden" places. I kinda understand why they added Spirit summons, although they are poor replacements for a good summon.

Seems like a couple Twitter twats spouting nonsense to me.
That they work in dev shouldn't be considered relevant; as noted elsewhere its unprofessional and frankly an embarrassment by association.
They are entitled to their opinions, and certainly should believe in the quality of their own work and creative vision BUT when couched in this way and under the circumstances -bemoaning critical reception being better than theirs- it just looks petty and jealous.
I highly doubt it'll curry favour with their employers, that's for sure.

Are you talking about that zone with the small soldiers that gave you like 1000 runes each?? Discovered this thing yesterday and immeditely bailed out, it feels like straight up cheating tbh.

My Uchi went from 2 points to 1 point at 40 with B scaling. Idk or how much higher it is with A and S scaling though.
Guys, did they improve load times? I see I'm on version 2.02 on Xbox now. Load times in Stormveil are like 3-5 seconds and I am not seeing the frame dips.

Same castle. Just keep exploring it, you'll eventually find a site of grace with a boss door right nearby.
You might surprise yourself to find he's easier than Margit.

Margit went down in 3 tries, i sincerely doubt that he can be easier.
The problem is to find the motherfucker.
I'm also having hard time deciding my build, do weapon skills scale with int? Or they just have a fixed damage??
Jesus i played any from game but i still feel lost every single time and i always end with a shitty non-specialized build...
People in here talking about specialized builds with double katanas and i'm here with my halberd +1 because i have no fucking idea where to use stat points or upgrades...i'm probably stupid enough to fight the next boss with a +1 weapon that does jack shit damage

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
well I did it. Bought the game, diving into my first real attempt at a Soulsborne game.
I went bandit. Kind of wish I had a larger shield. Ran from a lot of shit to make it to the first camp fire where I can level up. Those damned wolves out of nowhere scared the shit out of me - I had like 5 HP and no flasks, killed one and ran lol

It can stun lock almost anything, it’s fast enough and really strong. At +11 it destroys anything.

When you went to the bridge with giants backtrack to main road and go up to the main courtyard. Hug right side all the way on top of stairs - left you find site of grace, right leads to boss.

look up DS3 builds. What you can do in that game and in this games is pretty much the same. That will help you have some idea of builds you could make. I went with str/fth because it’s versatile enough.Margit went down in 3 tries, i sincerely doubt that he can be easier.

Do you guys think there will be in a short period of time a patch that could give the PS5 version a consistent 60fps? i really dont understand how, the best way to play elden ring on Ps5 is, a PS4 game.
Ogbert

Likewise.
The game amplifies everything I love about Souls games, but also the underlying frustration. Its obtuseness is starting to get a little tiresome.
And I’m sure most will disagree, but the game just feels too big. Needs editing. Wonder has been displaced by a feeling of mild pointlessness.
Still incredible.

Mandatory areas, you have 2 more (maybe 6-7 more bosses). If you want to include optional areas, there are a few more after the Capital (3 I think, 4 if you include the area needed for the bad ending).
